Are there any anime suggestion engines?


In the past, I've used apps that have suggested films, books, or music to me
based on a set of items I've enjoyed that I provide to the app.

Is there anything like that for anime? Basically I'm looking for something in
which I can input that I like anime X, Y and Z and for it to suggest that I
might like anime A because it has similar themes, or because other people who
like X, Y and Z have also said they like A.




[Anime-Planet](http://www.anime-planet.com/) and
[MyAnimeList](http://myanimelist.net/) have user submitted suggestions for
shows on a "if you liked X, you might like Y" setup.

As a developer myself, this is something I've wanted to look into making, and
MyAnimeList seems to be the most common site to be used for an engine as they
provide an API to programmers.

engine_ that works off what you have already seen

There are a couple of engines based off of MyAnimeList that people have made
such as [AnimeRecs](http://www.animerecs.com/) (which is down at the moment)
or [mal.oko.im](http://mal.oko.im/)

There's also a new anime cataloguer [Hummingbird](http://hummingbird.me/)
which gives you a range of recommendations based on what you've watched, what
genres you like, which are your favourites. It seems to be the easiest to
access and isn't soley show-specific.

**Other Sources** Other websites which provide anime have recommendations
engine built in, Usually these are based off of what similarly interested
people have enjoyed also.
