The API of myanimelist.net, which animerecs relies on to get your anime list, was taken down in 2018. As I write this in late March 2020, there is a new API in "open beta" that you have to apply to get access to(?). It is apparently different from the old API, so there would be some work involved to get animerecs working with the new API. I've moved on from anime as a hobby and no longer want to invest the time involved in the maintenance of the site. So it looks like this is the end for animerecs. Thanks for visiting. The code for the site is at github as it has been if you would like to fix it up or use bits of it for your own project.
