Is there any good alternative to myAnimeList or would you recommend I go back to the spreadsheet?

Unfortunate there’s not a good substitute for MyAnimeList, I’m really not a fan of the website design.

sounds like a good anime title

it doesn’t need that. use Kitsu or selfhost using NeoDB.

Switch to Anilist ^^ Many FOSS Apps available :)

Switching is super easy

hehe… you TOO can become a partner! We’re having a special! Anyone willing to pay for partnership access coincidentally gets an unrelated trove of personal data!

dw about it, your data will be safe amongst their friends! MyAnimeList and their 938 closest friends :)

use stremio + Torrentio and optionally a paid Real Debrid subscription. You can actually stream from torrent found from thepiratebay or other torrent sites.

Mal isn’t a streaming service

Don’t install anything that needs to invade your privacy so massively.

to value your privacy

In a literal sense. They’re putting a price on your privacy, and there are 938 buyers.

To give you a better personalized experience™ of course!

Just block the partners, should still work. All of the anime pirating sites are riddled with ads.

As if the commercial sites were any better…

There are commercial anime sites?

I assume. I mean, they do make money somehow, and it’s probably not by getting pirated.

Well, the usual ones make money via ads but the content is all pirated. I think fan translations for subs are not unusual either?

Edit: seems like Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ & co. are some legal streamers. Of course, like with other shows, each one has only a few.

Thanks for highlighting that.

The same way IMDB has https://imdbapi.dev/ or https://www.omdbapi.com/ (which I did use for a bit) is there an equivalent, namely MyAnimeList DB or API?

Anilist & Kitsu. (Kitsu is OpenSource, I think)

Self hosting a media tracker is an option. Ryot is great, others are available. It allows imports from myanimelist
