AniRec
site: http://www.anime-planet.com/anirec/ AniRec @ Anime-Planet function via user input. All of the series you want are there all complete with a short review and a attached image (similar to AniDB) The system works by gathering information from you thorugh one of two ways. Both are easy and fast, and there's no direct human input required on the other side for you to recieve your answer. I. Request (no registration required) The simplest way to use AniRec is simply to browse it. When you enter the site, on the front page, on the left navigation, just bellow recent anime you will find a category labeled AniRec. (it should look something like the screen on the right) There are 3 diffrent ways to browse:
II. By Submissions (registration; it's free ) First register. Once you've done that start by searching for your favorite series. You'll notice AniRec is providing a lot of other shows you've watched under recomandations. Go through them and rate them. (you'll need to mark them as watched/droped/stalled etc before rating) This takes less time then you think, something like 5 minutes for every 30 serie, if not less. Once you've done that, recomandations will come in your profile, just refresh them until you find something which sounds intresting.

wow!! o_o
I am humbled that this has been posted - thanks NSW and mods for allowing it. Cats, you've written up a great tutorial. If you are interested, I can edit it a bit to show off some of the other useful features when looking for recs (for one, the filter, which I've been procrastinating putting up and now will do so tonight) When AP V3 is put up in about 3-6 months some of these new features (like tags, etc) will be WAY more useful... haha, now I am motivated to work faster XD |

I've made some recommendations recently... I'm waiting to see if they are approved. I'm kind of new at it, so they aren't very good yet, but I'll improve them as I go along. (I can always edit later.)

Probably one of the best ways to keep track of your anime period, while helping you expend your anime viewing. One of my favorite sites on the web period. More than anything else though I like the recommendations, Sothis does keep track of them, least last time I check :P, and you know that they have a real reason why the anime has been recommended instead of just for just the hell of it.

Maybe someone can answer me something, as a newbie to A-P... Is there any way to get a recommendation based on the shows you list as watched, and how you rated them? I know the OP mentioned recommendations in your profile, but I've rated about 150 series and I've never gotten a recommendation in my profile. Also - is there any facility to see the average rating for a given series? If I pull up a show and 4000 people list it as "watched", I'd be curious to see how they ranked it - but i can't seem to find that functionality anywhere.
I love the concept - and it's a fun way to track the shows I've watched. I'd just like to derive a bit more practical benefit from the site.

Hey all - the confusing older version of the site is gone, and the new version should be much easier to understand. Cats, I'll pm you with a new tutorial you can replace your first post with, since now there's a lot of new/easy ways to get recs
enzo: right now we don't have a system for automatic recommendations - all recs are user-submitted, reasons are required, and we have rules for those reason (for example, you shouldn't ever see 'both have girls with blue hair' or something stupid like that). But, you can filter recommendations based on what's in your list - so if you are looking on the Naruto page at the recs, you can click 'only unmarked' or 'only unwatched' to help filter them down. Avg rating was added as well with our V3 launch on July 4 - a few days after you posted this. ^_^ It's on the left side of each entry, though we're updating it in the next week or so to also show rank/etc. Anyways yeah, I'll try to get a new tutorial figured out so the first post works with V3 ^_^ |
