Vande Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Since MyAnimeList is just sucking with updating properly (even with a forced update), i'm starting to get fed up. So is there a good alternative out there to MAL that anyone can suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardGames Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 MAL has also been really annoying with the constant Incapsula problem that they seem to refuse to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmingllama Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I haven't had any issues lately with MAL, it takes about an hour for the new stats to show but no other problems. Anyways, AniDB is always another one to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari-Yang Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I recommend aniDB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDaddy Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I've had tons of problems, but it does keep my list. If all you want is a community and list keeper- There's two, both relatively new: Hummingbird.me (which still has no manga list yet) and Anilist.co . Honestly, MAL is still the best IMO, but given some time- Hummingbird and Anilist will surpass it easily. Here's what I want. I want sig that'll keep up with what I watch/read without me having to hit a stupid update button to force it to update the sig, which still takes a few hours to do it IF it updates at all. The last time I did it, it never updated. Edited April 24, 2014 by JimDaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukumo Yuma Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Every time I use it it freezes and never moves after a while.On other times it says error a lot and logs me out, and it won't log back in until I close the browser.Earlier when I first joined, it said error and that I was banned even though I didn't even post anything at all yet, I just added 10 shows to my list, then a week later it let me back on the site.

Tsukumo Yuma Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I don't update my list often, plus I have to add years worth of anime and manga, and I am no were neer done.If you are using anime list for recomendations and such and finding out about new anime, use baka updates.

JimDaddy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah. Essentially all MAL does for me currently is keep my lists, which I periodically export and import to Anilist. I may switch completely over at some point as MAL seems to have fairly constant issues and that diesn't seem to be resolving itself anytime soon.

† poetictragedy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 There's also Anime-Planet. I like that one just based on ease of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDaddy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Does it have manga stuff too? That's what breaks it all for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vande Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions. On the MAL forum someone told me to remove the cdn. from the signature and it now works again. (for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDaddy Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions. On the MAL forum someone told me to remove the cdn. from the signature and it now works again. (for now) Yeah, mine refused to update. I might try it again at a later point, but loli gif sig is so much better right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 aniDB is the original, and it's the site ALL fansub/release groups use to submit their encodes so people can compare etc. I don't use it to list my anime though, but it does list Kametsu's work.

mikezilla2 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 anime planet is an alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† poetictragedy Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Does it have manga stuff too? That's what breaks it all for me. Anime-Planet does have manga. I think they also have auto-updating signatures, but I've never used it, so don't quote me on that, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendon't Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't mind MyAnimeList so much if they didn't have such a hard on for the original Japanese names. It's ridiculous how I have to actually click on some shows on my list to know what they are. Like how they call Spice & Wolf "Ookami to kooshoey whatever the fuck" instead of just calling it by it's official name.http://myanimelist.net/anime/2966/Ookami_to_KoushinryouI mean what the hell?, seriously.
