Been meaning to talk about My Anime List for a while but just haven't gotten around to it until now I guess. So what is My Anime List will that's quit simple actually it's a social network site for those who watch anime and read manga that helps you keep track of your watching and reading habits so for me it's a great tool to keep up to date on things that I've seen and need to see. You can find my profile here for your amusement. I don't do much there at MAL besides keep track of the shows that I'm watching but MAL has a lot to offer those looking to take full advantage of all that MAL has to offer including the forum and the ability to join clubs and add friends. It even offers news about the anime industry and other otaku'ish things like upcoming cons and what have you.
The interesting thing is that this isn't the first of it's kind. There was one before this that was supported and created by one of the anime companies here in the states and for the life of me I can't think of the name but it didn't last much more than a year at best as they shut it down and posted a don't mind us while we work on improving the site. That never happened of course but now we have something that is independent of the anime business (I believe it is anyways) that is ten times better and a lot more interesting. I say check it out and join and then discover just how much of your life has been devoted to watching anime as you look at the statistics that they list for your over all anime watching. You can also tie it into your blog with RSS feeds of what you're watching and other things as well.
Now I just need to find a nice suitable anime cutie to post with this blog....hmmm how about a dark haired Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier.
