    Its absolutely the second best. I'm amazed how it got so better in such a short time. If you don't want to use MAL, jump here. Unlike a old site like Anime-Planet where you won't find any hentai anime, advertise falsely as watch and read free everything and the active community is most 12 year old girls...this site is pretty user friendly.

    Switched to it from MAL because it was open source, and stayed for the dark mode and the mode detailed ratings (For example, being able to rate things 8.5/10).

    This website doesn't track hentai anime. Little active community.

    The people who run the site actually take the time to help you out instead of ignore you when you've lost your password.
