| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| a bit spooky but I guess we just gotta see how this will play out |
| Of course this news would break after my yearly subscription renewed last week. Guess I’m stuck here until then. I will be jumping ship immediately if NFTs start getting shilled |
| Companies only invest in something that they think will be profitable for them. New company ownership will more than likely implement unwanted changes that will try to bring in more money for them, but annoyances for us - potentially such as more ads, higher membership fees, pushing nfts, selling data acquired by AI scrapes, etc. I want to know how this is actually a good thing for us, the users. This is a family, a close-knit community and I don't want it violated by intruders that start rewriting the rule book. A few site feature upgrades with new investment can be delayed if it means I don't have to see my fave site slowly destroyed. EDIT: Just in case this site goes to hell, my Anilist link is in my profile if anyone wants to add me. I already had an account there but use it secondary compared to MAL. |

| @BronJosesMeowing That reminds me, MAL still divides new anime into multiple entries if they go a couple of months without airing new episodes. They don't do that with old anime, and I wish they had never begun the practice. I already requested something else in this thread, but combining split cours is just as important to me. The current inconsistency is infuriating. |

| This is gonna be interesting. Kineta said: What's the #1 improvement you want to see? What I'd like to see is some UI improvements, and for those that want the old style: option to select between modern or old-style. |
| Please don't screw with the UI too much. I love the comfy, simple old school look and feel compared to every other 'modern' website. Also please let us use english titles site-wide like SiliconDon said. |
| Whatever you do PLEASE don't mess with the ui. This place becoming just another shitty "modern" styled website would kill what makes it stand out from it's competitors. Also add more job titles to choose from when adding anime staff information. It's really frustrating when more niche job titles aren't an option so you have to resort to either putting whatever is closest to what is correct, and then putting the correct title in the "details" section (i.e having chief director in parentheses next to the director title), or just straight up having to ignore some positions all together if none of the options come close enough. |

| It's funny how some people in this thread complaining about the potential UI change yet they choose to migrate to Anilist, which has an even shittier interface. Stanis150 said: That should be another ranking board, it'd also help with finding titles easier.- possibility "group into one" all entry from one show in any ratings |
| Welp, if this is truly the beginning of the end for MAL, it’s been really fun over the years I’ve been here, but I’ll stick it out as long as possible |
Kineta said: What's the #1 improvement you want to see? I'd go with FAL improvement, thanks : ) |
Kineta said: What's the #1 improvement you want to see? A better mobile app. I can only speak for iOS, but I've found, that there are a lot of functionalities and UI elements missing in the mobile app, and it opening an in-app browser window for everything you do is not that great either. Using the app feels way worse than just using mobile Safari. I don't even think there's a way you can find this very thread in the app, because it's just not there. |
| - Do NOT change the UI. It's doesn't need any more "fixing". - Get rid of the 30 characters requirement for forum posts - Let us choose between English and romaji titles everywhere, not just our own lists. - Bring back the old edit feature and ability to multi-quote users. - Absolutely NO NFT or AI stuff. |

| I want to see all of those manhwas and manhuas here too which for now I can track only on other sites. Don't make me go there too, put more effort into the manga database. |
| Please spare me the "AI is a tool" crap. It's FALSE EQUIVALENCY bullshit. All tools are not the same. A complex network of servers and queries and programming ARE NOT "the same thing" as a PENCIL |
Oh god no .......... |

| The overwhelming rejection of Web3 as a whole here is possibly one of the most comforting things ever. Not one soul here is like "NFTs are rad, and I love making everything about money". 😌 |

| @Yubisoft Aren't those things only done by trolls and ban evaders that you should be able to report? Not that I'd know since I don't really use social media... heck, I don't even use the forums all that much these days. Not like it matters since the site will probably become just another IMDB/AniList down the line if the rumors are true. |

improved statistics, love me my statistics
beeped5 said: improved statistics, love me my statistics Okay. But first, where's the stats for 2024?! (See: Happy New Year & 2023 Wrap-Up!) |
| I want to see MAL turned into a gacha game peddled to children with the goal of getting them addicted to gambling at an early age. This seems to be the general frontier of capitalism these days and hopefully we can help pioneer these developments to become a part of history. On a serious note, I just want the DB and list functions to remain intact. Don't mess with DB guidelines or the UI too much so things can stay the same on that front. And, ideally, get people to manage the DB who get actually paid for it which will hopefully lead to less delays and shorter queue times. I really feel like having it all done by volunteer mods who get nothing in return is very outdated considering how big MAL has become. It's becoming less and less feasible, especially on the manga side of things. I strongly doubt that will happen, but a man can dream. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| how does this affect Lebron's legacy |
With that in mind: What's the #1 improvement you want to see? (You can only pick 1!) Better, faster and more transparent database moderation. Give users who want to help improve the database better tools and let them see pending changes. |
| What the actual fuck? I guess 10 years for on this site was a good run. I'll look for some other site that's decent. AI bullshit, selling user data, retarded NFT shit, likely what Mana said with sterilizing the site of ecchi/hentai, atrocious UI based off the gaudy company site. Great way to cuck out and kill the site if all that is true. |

| @Yubisoft That filter is just there because mods got annoyed at large quote pyramids with responses like "^this" and "i agree". Quote pyramids started becoming collapsed so it became irrelevant. It is too long though since many topics can be answered with short responses and it doesnt even tell you when you type what your character count is. |

Please add the option to filter animation by land of origin.
| @TetsuyaNEETO Seconding this one (or even better remove all the Korean and Chinese garbage on this site, they aren't anime and never will be) |
| Improving the mobile app, crashes a lot |
| Please, the one improvement I desperately need. Don't change the UI or anything like that, just let me choose the pictures of stuff on my favourites (from the images provided by MAL, not custom pics) |
| Apparently, Gaudiy has a trailer, and it is so over the top that I feel cynical about this company. Also, after reading their website, I can see how acquiring MAL fits with their plan. They plan to make these "Fan Nations" where everyone could be happy. I think AI will help users find communities that they would like. (I feel like social media has already been doing that forever, but okay.) And there's something about creating an "economic ecosystem." Does that mean I will get two cents for giving my two cents? Probably, but I am not excited for it. |
| If it ain't broke, don't fix it. At this point, it seems MAL is going to smash the last nail on the coffin. I've only kept MAL because I still have a couple of mutuals and friends in here, but if the new changes are going to break what never needed to be fixed, then it's going to be devastating. I wonder what kind of people support MAL, or moderates MAL, for it to become such a letdown of a website? For the last decade, this site has been nothing but heavily questionable decisions. And no, attempting to deviate the attention from that "false information" is not making this any better. |

| @fluffycow17 Does that trailer have its own MAL entry? |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Trash ass update |

| Forum access through the MAL app would be nice |
| I miss the time when anime used to be niche... |
My Candies: |
| Was hopeful when the post was updated, but it was just to confirm that the "leak" is likely illegitimate. Kineta didn't remove the leak screenshot either, so... probably not a valid leak. |
Kineta said: With that in mind: What's the #1 improvement you want to see? (You can only pick 1!) Being able to sort your list by an anime's source (Original, Manga, LN, VN, etc). |
| well I do hope that the outrageous mobile app is getting a rework |
