MyAnimeList, known as MAL, is an anime and manga social networking and social cataloging application website. It was acquired by Media Do in January 2019.
MAL lists anime (Japanese animation), aeni (Korean animation), donghua (Chinese animation), manga (Japanese comics), manhwa (Korean comics), manhua (Chinese comics), dōjinshi (fan comics), and light novels. Users can score anime and manga on their list on a scale from 1 to 10, and these scores are aggregated to rank each show. The website underwent an emergency maintenance in May 2023 due to a hacking incident but resumed online activity shortly after.
It collaborates with various companies in the anime and manga industry and has a large, active online community.
Recent brand deals include Ananas, Pancake, cadence, Iniciativa Kyoudai and CrisHeroes. You can request access to our brand deal research below for a complete report.
