Anime and manga tracking website
AniList
AniList is a popular anime and manga tracking website for building personal lists, discovering titles, and sharing ratings and activity with other fans.
What AniList is
AniList is an anime and manga database, list tracker, and social website. On AniList, people can search for titles, save what they are watching or reading, score completed entries, follow seasonal releases, and share activity with other fans.
Personal anime and manga lists
The core workflow is a personal list. Users can mark anime or manga as current, completed, paused, dropped, or planned, then update episode or chapter progress over time. That makes AniList useful as a memory aid for long series, seasonal shows, and backlogs that span many years.
Discovery and metadata
AniList pages collect titles, formats, release status, staff, studios, characters, tags, recommendations, and related works. Search and browse pages help users move from a show they know to similar titles, upcoming releases, adaptations, sequels, or works by the same creators.
API and third-party apps
AniList is widely used by third-party anime and manga apps because its GraphQL API exposes much of the site's catalog and user-list functionality. This helps outside developers build clients, bots, dashboards, and discovery tools that connect back to AniList accounts.
Why it matters
Anime and manga catalogs can be difficult to track because titles have alternate names, adaptations, spin-offs, region-specific releases, and long-running installments. AniList gives fans a structured place to manage that complexity while also making taste, ratings, and discovery more visible across a community.
Limits and cautions
AniList scores and popularity rankings are community signals, not neutral measures of quality. Metadata can change, regional legal availability is separate from a catalog entry, and API-dependent tools may break when the service changes or has downtime. Users should treat lists as helpful records, not as an official availability guide.

Social activity and profiles
AniList also works like a fan network. Profiles show lists, favorites, statistics, and recent activity, while feeds let users comment, follow friends, and react to list updates. The social layer gives personal tracking a shared context without turning every title page into a full forum thread.
