RedditAnimeList

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:http://ift.tt/1UtnytJ 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: 2083Difference of reddit and MAL score: -0.49(So the average redditor rates shows worse than MAL) Top 5 AnimeAnimeScoreLegend of the Galactic Heroes9.39Gintama'9.13Hunter x Hunter9.13Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood9.12Gintama': Echousen9.09 Most popular Anime:AnimeSeen byAttack on Titan1673 (80.3%)Sword Art Online1625 (78%)Steins;Gate1611 (77.3%)One Punch Man1570 (75.4%)Kill la Kill1527 (73.3%) Biggest difference to MAL-ScoreAnimeDifferenceTurn A Gundam+0.63Wakaba Girl: Onsen Tsukaritai+0.52Di Gi Charat+0.47Ring of Gundam+0.46Gatchaman Crowds Insight+0.38......Blame!-2.80Weiß Survive-2.77Gunslinger Stratos: The Animation-2.58Holy Knight-2.52Divine Gate-2.39(Fairly unknown shows with low sample size, so not really accurate) Difference of shows that are often called overrated:AnimeSeen bySword Art Online-1.46Attack on Titan-0.83ERASED-0.18Elfen Lied-1.59Mirai Nikki-1.18Charlotte-1.78Akame 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!
