I don't know if I want to readd everything from MAL to this. I'm a lazy person.

It's simple. You can export your list to Kitsu.

I looked at the screenshots and for some reason I still like the old crap style of MAL lol.

Does this mean HB is finally gonna be decent to use? Mind, it really isn't all that difficult to top MAL, but I'm really hoping they live up to all the hype they're giving Kitsu.

The thing about MAL is it is so simple, despite being so ugly. Hummingbird isn't bad, it just lags real bad on anything that isn't my desktop computer for some reason. I don't know why. That and I like a number rating better than the faces. I will give Kitsu a try when it comes out, but I don't know if I will make a switch.

Kitsu is really fast and light. And it will faster and lighter in the future.

I trust that the customizability will still be around? I quite enjoy my profile background.

Here's screenshot!

Just wondering, what happened to the total time of anime watched and all? Is it in a different spot or did they remove that entirely?

soon™. Josh and the team still fixing problematic bugs and making group ready. Stay tuned!

From using kitsu for about a day or so, there are a LOT of bugs and errors to be fixed. IDK if they are going to be on time or if there will be a delay.
