“It's the IMDb for anime and manga but...”

Chiaki K.
1/11/21

The moderation work is really slow. I don't know if that is because of being understaffed or too much work pressure, but both anime and manga moderation is extremely slow. Like you submit a new manga, it will take months to get it approved by the moderators. The anime Database is dope but the manga database is not. And it has shortcomings when it comes to manhwa and manhua. Another complaint I have against the anime database is that it includes too much hentai. But there are excellent clubs and challenges to participate in, which is very much fun.

“Review botting site ran by morons”

Nissin I.
1/2/23

And the forums are even worse. A cesspool comparable to a mongolian forum that is fine with nazi's but will come down hard on you for pointing that out. The main admin is a snake and "she" will ban you on the spot for asking questions regarding their weird review botting. The regular moderators are no different and are a bunch of no life losers that will do anything to keep their precious cartoon's rating on their site.

MyAnimeList is useful to an extent, but features of the website that were considered to be fine and was never asked to be change get updates that actively ruin their usability. Nothing on this site is a clearer example of that than the review system, which has been changed so much in the past few years that it's hard to even explain what's so bad about it. Another issue is the UI and general look of the site. Images for characters, manga, anime, staff are changed for no reason other than a moderator just wanted to, and they become actively worse. Characters are especially hit hard by this, so many have terrible looking images, and despite the website having a gallery for them, you have to add your own image to an edit request if you want a change. This is why most of the time, picture change requests are made in forums, because of how inefficient it is otherwise. This is a blatantly major flaw in the site, especially since they could just add the option to select an image for a character or manga or whatever in your favorites from the gallery. Things that MAL will ask you to pay for to get, like more than ten favorites of each type, are free on services like AniList and Kitsu. Speaking of AniList, forget a limit on favorites, you can have as many as you want. The only reason to use MAL is if you want to use an anime tracker with an active community, otherwise, it is not worth your time.

This site is CANCER. Rapid Fanboys will flag your reviews.I had my reviews taken down many times. I had been banned for over 9 months now. It is funny how ironic it is. Weeaboo's are biased and don't accept different opinions that people have. Yet they hate on cartoons,movies,etc..Allowed to say whatever they want.It shows how much of a degenerate they actually are.Myanimelist is not a democracy,but a communistic system. My username is AncientSeth.

After reaching support I've received such information:
"If you have a problem with the club, consult the admins/creator. This isn't anything we need to step in for.

*THE NAME I USED WAS RANDOMLY GENERATED SINCE I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY REAL NAME TO A WEBSITE LIKE THIS.

This review is going off a website issue that brought the entire site down a while ago (at the time of me typing this up).

Let me honestly say I did use this site for a while until the issue that brought the site down. I switched to AniList (which you should do) and attempted to get my account deleted, except you have the worst support team ever to deal with. They get back to within a month or more, and give you the most useless responses ever (they ask for information I had already given).

Tip for consumers:
Just don't. Use AniList, it's better.

I'm honestly sick of the site. Especially due to the reviews and how they are managed because there are reviews that have been up for over a year that say nothing but spam, but other serious reviewers are getting their comments taken down. It's sickening. I've personally been a victim of this because I got my reviews taken down for "dropping it before the half way point" when I completed the series. Why they suddenly decide to enforce these rules now, I don't know. Other than reviews, the site is just a list.
