If you use any other tracking software, I would love to hear about it.

I've been using MAL, but it's just until I find a good replacement. And by "good" I mean that data is stored locally, like the one from All Mangas Reader.

I've been using Anilist ever since all entries in MAL have been changed to I don't remember what some time ago

Using MAL because I don't have any reason to change. Also like the older aesthetics and the ability to edit the CSS directly.

started using anilist during that time MAL went down in 2018; liked the sleek interface, the choice in rating systems, the GraphQL API... i transfered my data over and never looked back.

I use anime-planet, just because it was the first thing I found back in the day and I'm not switching now. The scoring systems is a bit limited, using the five stars (essentially just 1-10). I do like the simple design, makes it very clear where everything is, and your profile has a nice big overview of how much of your life you have wasted :D

IDK, I just have MAL up, but I don't "track" anime really. I use MAL to try and get some idea what a show is about. And I read a few of the reviews.

I use Anilist because the iOS App is great

I moved my account from MAL to Kitsu.io a while back, and I quite like it. More flexible reviews, better UI — plus it’s open-source.

I primary used MAL for tracking, because people recommend this site for tracking all anime and anime episodes.

I used to use MAL but switched to AL when MAL wasn't listing a lot of Korean webtoons that I was reading since the start of the pandemic.

Been using Anilist ever since the MAL android app I was using went down a few years ago

I used to use MAL through the MyAniList app (not to be confused with MAL) but switched to AniList during the api outage in 2018. Nowadays I mainly track manga and anime automatically through tachiyomiJ2K and aniyomi respectively so I don't interact directly with AniList much, apart from browsing upcoming anime and discovering other series from writers, seiyuus, mangakas etc.

I use both but I personally prefer Anilist

I use a FOSS alternative to MAL, kitsu.io

I switched from MAL to AniList a while back. I think it was back during the API outage, got tired of not having apps for tracking and wanted something with a more modern interface.

AniList is great, though I will say the more modern UI also made the page loading a bit more sluggish.

Anilist.

I use both, if MAL is down there is always Anilist to keep my episode tracked.

I use AniList, Anime-Planet, LiveChart, AniDB, and MyAnimeList

Reasons I use each: ::: spoiler AniList gives good stats and breakdowns of what genres, etc, you tend to prefer in a clean, user friendly format ::: ::: spoiler Anime-Planet gives me generally good recommendations, based on anime I want to see something like, or my overall library preferences ::: ::: spoiler LiveChart's just good at giving me what I'm looking forward to in a good digestible feed. Sometimes I scroll through past seasons to see what I may have missed, this is why I maintain a list there ::: ::: spoiler AniDB gives incredibly detailed analytics, has a cool timeline of all your anime watching history. I think this is just really satisfying to look at :::
MyAnimeList honestly doesn't really have much I care about, just people tend to get squirmish if I link them anything else, so it's the easiest list to send to people without having to explain why I don't use MAL

Anilist is pretty good, I left MAL a few years ago and never looked back.

Neither, AniDB.

Set up is a pain though, terrible defaults.

I use both Anime-Planet and MAL.

I joined Anime-Planet one time MAL had an outage, I think. Both sites have their advantages. A-P has a very rich database of tags, for both anime and characters, and also has a personal feed history that stretches back way longer than MAL’s does. On the other hand, MAL includes metadata fields for when I started/finished watching something, and has some third-party sites that integrate with it, such as anime.plus, which I use to see stats on how much I’ve watched and when and how I’ve rated things.

So, for now, I just use both at the same time.

I once tried Kitsu, back when it was called Hummingbird, but I wasn’t very satisfied with it. Haven’t ever tried AniList or AniDB.
