It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I have my list on MAL, anidb and anilist and the recommendations system seems weird. Is there no way to get recommendations based on what I've seen and how I've rated them? Is there any site for something like that? That's how pretty much any movie/tv list rating site works and I don't get why it would be any different for anime.

Every time I try to find something good to watch I end up frustrated, because all the recommendations systems on these sites are just filled with whatever is "in" or popular right now. Like I don't care if it's popular, but I don't really care about the popularity I just want something good to watch.

How do you find new stuff to watch in general?

And if you use any list site, what do you use and what for and how?

I never use automated recommendation systems, I just look for stuff manually or go by word of mouth. If you want a steady supply of recommendations, find an anime blog with similar tastes to yours and follow it.
