Why MyAnimeList.com It Might Be A Killer
Anime, though never clearly medically documented, is a serious addiction that affects people of all ages and personalities. Hey, it’s better than smoking, I guess. MyAnimeList shines a positive light around all this maddening addiction by creating an environment where you can store everything and meet new people, a service most fans will find incredibly useful. It’s great because it’s clearly an alternative to other anime sites which provide you with videos and social networking but no place to keep track of what you’ve watched and what you want to see.
