About Export

MAL exporter converts anime and manga lists from MyAnimeList, Kitsu, AniList, and Anime-Planet into MAL XML format, which can then be imported into MyAnimeList. The source recommends using MyAnimeList's official export instead if you can log in to your account. For Kitsu and AniList, the XML includes comments listing any entries that have no MAL equivalent.

The tool has several limits. The MyAnimeList exporter only works with publicly accessible lists and may fail intermittently, although retrying usually helps. Anime-Planet mapping uses a static dataset current as of 2022/01/01, so it cannot match newly added entries and may contain errors. Manga mapping for Anime-Planet is described as a best-effort match with lower data quality.

Export FAQ

Does the MyAnimeList exporter work with private lists?
No. The source states that it only works for publicly accessible lists. It suggests using the official export if you can log in.
Will newly added Anime-Planet entries be mapped to MAL?
Not reliably. The Anime-Planet mapping is static and current as of 2022/01/01, so it will fail to map newly added entries.
What happens to Anime-Planet entries in the Won't Watch category?
They are still written to the XML, but they are commented out because MAL has no similar category.
