Importing My List

Import AniWave

Importing your AniWave List:

  1. Export Your AniWave Watchlist:

    • Export your AniWave watchlist in any format (even if it's a simple .txt file). If you don't have an export, consider creating a temporary account on MyAnimeList (MAL) to facilitate the process.
  2. Transfer to MyAnimeList (Temporary Step):

    • Create a temporary account on MAL using a disposable email address.
    • Import your AniWave watchlist into this temporary MAL account.
  3. Export from MyAnimeList to AniList:

    • Once your watchlist is in MAL, follow these steps:
      • Visit MyAnimeList and log in to your temporary account.
      • Go to the "Anime" section and click on "Export Data."
      • Choose the export format (XML or plain text) and download the file.
      • Now, log in to your AniList account.
      • Click on your profile picture, go to "Settings," and select "Import & Export."
      • Choose "Import Data" and upload the file you downloaded from MAL.
      • AniList will process the data, and your watchlist should be updated.

Import AniWatch/HiAnime

Importing your HiAnime List:

  1. Export from Zoro/Aniwatch to MAL:

    • Visit Zoro/Aniwatch and export your anime watchlist in MAL XML format.
    • Use this Zoro to MyAnimeList app ZorotoMAL.
    • After this, go to step 4.
  2. Manually Add Entries to MAL:

    • Open the exported XML file from Zoro/Aniwatch.
    • Identify the anime entries and manually add them to your MAL account one by one.
    • It's a bit time-consuming, especially if you have a large watchlist, but it's the official way to do it.
  3. Alternative Approach (MALSync):

    • Although not guaranteed to work, you can try using MALSync:
      • Install the MALSync browser extension.
      • Configure it with your MAL and AniList accounts.
      • Use the sync feature to transfer your watchlist data.
  4. Export from MAL to AniList:

    • Once your watchlist is complete on MAL, export it from there.
    • Go to your AniList account settings.
    • Choose "Import & Export" and upload the MAL XML file.
    • AniList will process the data, and your watchlist should be updated.
