Is it possible for users to add new anime or manga to the database?

7202

So I've been a MAL member for 7 years, but recently MAL lost its appeal. The last straw for me was when I lost my account 3 days ago with their awful system security.
Anyway, Anilist is a good site and have great potential with the frequent updates. Yet, the library here is definitely lacking and need to improve.
So I would suggest to allow people to add anime\manga to the database and having you guys for the approval to either make it public or simply disapprove it.
So I hope you take into consideration.

Mod Edit: Yes, users are free to use the submission system to request new entries.
Please read through the submission manual for our listing criteria: https://submission-manual.anilist.co/

• Add New Anime
• Add New Manga

(and make sure that the entry hasn't already been addressed on the forums, the AniList Discord, or in the list of frequently rejected titles)

Data submission is a feature, info can be found here: https://anilist.co/forum/thread/14

Presently rebuilding a completely new submission system. It'll be much easier to use and have a pile of new features, but taking a little bit longer to finish up - so have to link the previous version meanwhile. Hopefully will be able to make the switch very soon.

  I really enjoy keeping track of all my reading progress here... but occasionally find manga titles that just aren’t listed on the site. Is there a way to add that I’m not seeing?
  
  Also what are some titles you’d want to add if you also have this problem?

  There is a good manga that im currently reading but i cant seem to find it on this site. I would really like to add to my manga list
Lelliesia 5y
what manga are you looking for? maybe we can try to find it for you if you can tell us the name.
also, keep in mind that anilist will search with english titles by default, so change that in your settings (under "Anime & Manga") if you wanna search with romaji or native name, just in case the search function doesn't recognise it.

but if you still can't find it, you can submit the manga to anilist here, but make sure to read the documentation as well before doing so.
- Kallada 5y
  Thx for the information. The manga is called The Beginning After The End
  RaPrz10 5y
  I'm pretty sure that it isn't on this site because it has to be published in Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese or South Korean
  Lelliesia 5y
  well sort of, it's technically South Korean (yk, korean author and all), it's just it wasn't originally published on any korean platforms. it was first published on Tapas, a western webcomic site. hence it isn't allowed on here, oddly enough.
  Kallada 5y
  Thanks for all of your help. I still hope it gets updated on this site

  Some of the manhwas I read are not listed on the site but when I try to add them they get rejected. Does anyone know how to do it correctly? it usually says link official source but where do I link it?
Oterino 5y
It alrdy exists in the database.

Sensei ni wa Kanawanai

Usually looking up the native name is the most efficient way to find info on them (basically the japanese name). I cant cite the sites exactly because it depends on the publisher and there are also some illegal sites who sometimes give a lil bit of info but its not always trustworthy.

You can link official sources in the Notes section in your submission, there should be a space called "Submission Notes", thats where u type the sources in.

In the case of manwha you have to search them by their korean name and use korean sites as sources, most of the time they are publishers like Naver, Line, or Kakao stuff like that.

Make sure to read the Database Criteria section first if you're new to our DB rules and want to know them better to avoid getting rejected submissions.

if what you're thinking off is the beginning after the end please look up older threads and see the reasoning why it won't be added here.

Hi, can a mod add this please? https://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/my-deepest-secret/list?title_no=1580&page=1

  They won’t add it because it’s oel
- Alessandra 4y
  They don't add american comics, just Manhwas, Manhua, manga. Some manhwas happen to be on webtoon, which is why they're here, but not everything on webtoon is fit for this database

  Hi !
  
  Is it possible to request an anime addition in Anilist, and if so, or should we do it? :)
  
  I would like to ask if they could add "RWBY" in Anime
  and "Code Lyoko".
  
  Here you are :)
  
  Have a nice day, evening !!

The data is added by the users themselves, so someone like you or me.
There is a sticky post where everything is explained, how to add an anime or a manga: https://anilist.co/forum/thread/14

Very few anime are missing from the database, they're usually very obscure/old ones. So it's unlikely you need to add an anime. (and the anime for future seasons are added quite quickly after their announcement)

But since you seem to read some manga, one day you'll probably end up reading titles that aren't on Anilist yet. ;)

  Do only mods have that kind of power? because I would love to add stuff like "Rick and Morty vs. Genocider" and "Samurai & Shogun" by myself, but if only mods have that power, please add these.
Taluun 5y
The way the process works is a lot of data ends up on the site because users, like you, submit it through the links that @POROW mentioned above. However those submissions still need to be accepted by moderator and I can say that the first Rick and Morty short is not allowed at this time as while they have anime staff working on them, there is no clear proof of creative control coming from Japan. All/most of the primary staff are American (some Japanese american, but American all the same).

You can submit new Anime or new Manga through these two links.

You can check our Submission Manual (also linked in the site's footer as 'Add Data') if you want to know more about our DB criteria as well as about how to submit entries!

Should you need more help with submitting data, you can also ask in the Submission Support channel on our Discord.

  the manga for shonan bakusozoku is on the site but the anime isn't? This is probably because the sub they did in the 90s is mostly lost and there's no high quality version anywhere besides japanese netflix.(which is a real shame cuz i wanna see it!!!)(i watched a few episodes in dub on youtube and its pretty cool) i was wondering if there's a way i can add it?

i dont know if you can do it by yourself. you may have to ask someone that works the website
