Hello, and welcome to the MAL Welcoming Club! Everyday you’ll find new member count here at MyAnimeList growing, and every one of them should be able to feel welcome. So, here’s the place to go for new and veteran MAL users alike to get together, welcome one other, chat, give advice, and make their time here a great experience. There are over 200,000 of us registered on MAL, and that makes one big community for anyone to be jumping into. We’re all about those first steps!
<span style="font-size: 110%;"><strong>Introduce Yourself (click <!--link--><a href="

Are you new on MAL and like to meet new people? You're in the right place. We are determined to offer our assistance with any questions you may have, and make sure no one feels lonely and everyone feels at home here. Please feel free to use the forums to start and respond to threads and the post board to talk with one another, too.
Welcoming can be more than a Welcome to MAL! You can always leave more personal intros, post profile comments to make members feel personally welcome, or even start up a PM chat. You might hit it off and make a friend. Make one here!
