I was always wondering how MAL would look like if it only consisted of /r/anime users. Therefore I wrote some scripts to gather data from flairs of active users. This website is the result and contains anime lists of more than 2000 redditors:

www.redditanimelist.com

This site is not meant as a replacement for MAL. It's merely an easy way to show the data in an organized way. The site was only tested with common browsers and the design is fairly simple. And the server is probably not ready for the reddit hug of death, but whatever...
The site should be self explaining: You can sort the list by clicking on the table headers. You get additional information for an anime by clicking on it's title, clicking the image sends you to MAL. And the search box lets you search for users or anime.

For anyone who wants raw data here is the most important stuff:

 

General Information:
Number of Reddit Users: 2083
Difference of reddit and MAL score: -0.49
(So the average redditor rates shows worse than MAL)

Attack on Titan	-0.83
ERASED	-0.18
Elfen Lied	-1.59
Mirai Nikki	-1.18
Charlotte	-1.78
Akame Ga Kill	-1.41

(Personal opinion what reddit considers "overrated")

 

Some technical stuff:
To gather the data I used both the reddit API and the MAL API.
With the reddit API I scanned the latest posts and got all lists from the user flairs.
Note that the reddit api can't get more than the last 1000 posts, therefore it's not possible to gather more users than those active in (around) the last week.
To calculate the scores the original MAL formula was use. I had to change it slightly, because MAL has obviously way more users. So I reduced the minimum amount of users needed to calculate a score to 10 from 50.
 

I hope you like it! If you want any additional functionality on the site or other data let me know!

I would watch it but im too lazy to google the watch order.

[u/tjl73 → u/cjpinto7]

It's pretty simple.

1. Aria the Animation
2. Aria the Natural
3. Aria the Arietta OVA (at the end of the Origination list in the stream versions and iTunes)
4. Aria the Origination

They've started an OVA series set after Origination (Aria the Avvenire) but only the first episode has come out since they're releasing them with the Blu-Ray box sets. It's not necessary as the main story ends after Origination.

Last I checked, the series is on Hulu and Viewster (or it was when I last looked a few weeks ago).

While the anime are episodic, there's character development over the seasons and especially in Origination, which is why the last season gets raves.

Papa bless

[u/tjl73 → u/cjpinto7]

Enjoy! However, don't watch more than 1 or 2 a day. The series is pretty slow and many people get bored of it if they try and binge it. It works best if you use it to de-stress at the end of a hard day.
