The [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myrecs&do=my My Recommendations] feature of AniDB allows you to keep track of recent and popular shows. It is not meant to represent an all time favourites list. | The [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myrecs&do=my My Recommendations] feature of AniDB allows you to keep track of recent and popular shows. It is not meant to represent an all time favourites list. It is tightly coupled to your [[Buddy_List]]. You will only see recommendations which were issued by your buddies or their buddies. | ||
== How does it work? == | == How does it work? == | ||
Your [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myrecs&do=my My Recommendations] page is a queue which will only retain the last 10 recommendations you add. You can't change the order of the recommendations nor can you recommend the same anime multiple times. This is meant to underline the purpose of the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myrecs&do=my My Recommendations] feature as a short term, "what's hot" recommendation list. | |||
Whenever you have started to watch a new show which seems very promising or when you've finished a show which you really enjoyed you can use the "recommend" link near the wishlist options on the anime page to recommend this show to your buddies. You should add a small comment describing what you liked about the show and specify whether it is a general recommendation, a must see show or only something for fans of the genre. | |||
You can always check your buddy's latest recommendations on the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myrecs&do=latest latest] tab of the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myrecs&do=my My Recommendations] page. You will only see recommendations of shows of which you have not yet seen any normal episode (shows which are in your mylist, but are still completely unwatched are not filtered out, specials are ignored). | |||

=== Ideas === | |||
* Implement some kind of algorithm which transitively traverses the network of buddies which are marked as having same taste? | |||
* Weight animes by the number of ppl who have recommended it? Sort by weight? | |||
* Display recommended animes with image and the key data (as they are shown on the anime calendar page). | |||
* Display comments below each anime, incl. user avatar image. | |||
