Hello guys! I'm wondering what you guys are using and which anime tracking sites do you deem the best. Currently I'm using MyAnimeList, used AniDB but later on still returned to MAL even though AniDB seems more advanced. Not saying that MAL is bad, but I'm wondering if there are any alternatives worth using/supporting instead

I use Anilist because it has the best API. The best API means that it has first-class support across every single app in my anime "stack":

  • AL-Chan (Android client)
  • MAL-Sync (Webextension)
  • Miru (Desktop anime viewer)
  • Saikou (Android anime viewer)
  • Saikou TV (AndroidTV anime viewer)
  • Tachiyomi (Android manga viewer)

I mainly use Anilist with Taiga to auto track my watching. I also use the Automail userscript for some bonus stuff on anilist, and douki to sync with MAL every once in a while.

AniDB seems to have the best database, as its name implies, so I go there often to look up minor credits like episode directors or song composers. It also has tools to track your locally downloaded library for those who like to build their own collection.

I'll throw my list in here cause its my first comment on lemmy https://anilist.co/user/Pencilsharp333/
