I've been enjoying the people on Twitter complaining that they haven't been able to watch any anime since MAL went down last month. I remember when I used to use Microsoft Word to track everything. Though MAL going down just as I'm getting back into anime is like... peak MAL shittiness tbh.
Honestly this is why I've had an AniDB account for over 10 years (though I did have to remake it a while back). I honestly don't think it's ever been down. I'll always feel secure knowing that AniDB is there.
I did end up pulling my lists from MAL and start an AniList account though which is kinda nice since I like to track manga too. (Feel free to hit me up if you're into that.) I do like that you have more access to random stats. Like the voice actor stats. I've spent almost 1000 hours with Koyasu and TomoSeki.
I'll keep updating MAL, but honestly with their API problems, AniList is looking better and better.
