How to Import Your MyAnimeList Watch History:

• Log into SIMKL: If you don't have a SIMKL account, sign up. If you're already a member, log in to access your dashboard.

Creating a Simkl Account

Importing to Simkl

• Choose Your Import Option: After connecting, you have two choices: a one-time import or keeping both MAL and SIMKL in sync.

1. Option 1- One-Time Import: Opt for a one-time import to bring your existing MAL watch history to SIMKL. This ensures all your anime data is seamlessly transferred.

2. Option 2 - Keep Both in Sync: If you choose to keep both platforms in sync, any changes you make on one will be reflected on the other, ensuring your data is always up to date.

Benefits of Importing to SIMKL from MAL:

• Unified Tracking: SIMKL becomes your central hub for all things entertainment, including anime, TV shows, and movies.

• Enhanced Recommendations: SIMKL's recommendation engine utilizes your imported data to suggest new anime based on your preferences.

• Real-Time Sync: If you choose to keep both platforms in sync, any updates you make are reflected immediately.

Keep in mind that MAL does not save individual episodes per anime and instead uses a number of episodes you watched. Because of that, you may lose unmarked episodes in the middle of the show when marking the latest episode on MAL as watched.
