Pick a random anime from your AniList or MyAnimeList watchlist

Open Custom List on the anime wheel, select AniList or MyAnimeList, and enter your account username. AniList imports Planning and Watching entries; MyAnimeList imports Plan to Watch entries. Review the visible candidates before drawing. The custom list holds up to 25 titles and needs at least 8 to start the wheel.

Import an account list, not an anime title

The import field expects an account username, not a profile URL, email address or show name. Choose the matching provider and make the relevant list public. No password is needed.

AniList Planning and Watching entries are eligible. For MyAnimeList, only Plan to Watch is requested. Completed titles are not imported by this workflow. Provider availability can prevent an import even when the username is correct.

Check your shortlist before spinning

The list is capped at 25 titles. An import adds titles that are not already in the current list and fits only the remaining spaces. It does not replace the list or mirror every change in your account.

If fewer than 8 titles are loaded, search and add more acceptable titles or use the autofill control. Review autofilled titles: they are extra candidates, not automatically taken from your account.

Keep the odds clear

Leave every weight at 1 for equal chances among visible entries. A weight of 2 gives that title twice the relative chance of a title weighted 1. With eight titles, one weighted 2 and seven weighted 1, its chance is 2/9, not 2/8.

Enable No repeats to remove a selected winner from subsequent draws. This changes the browser list, not your AniList or MyAnimeList account. The list and history stay on this device; clearing browser storage can remove them.

If nothing is added

Check the provider, username, public visibility and relevant list status. If the current list already has 25 titles, remove an entry first. If every returned title is already present, there is nothing new to add.

If the provider fails, try again later or use Search and Add instead. An error is not evidence that the account is missing. The tool does not ask for account credentials.

Common questions

Can I pick an anime from my own watchlist?

Yes. Import a supported public list or search and add titles, review up to 25 candidates, then draw from that shortlist. At least 8 titles are required for the custom wheel.

Does importing change my AniList or MyAnimeList account?

No. This workflow reads public entries and keeps a separate browser list. Removing a winner does not edit the source account.

Why is my imported list smaller than my account list?

Only supported list statuses are requested, the wheel holds up to 25 titles, existing entries are skipped, and provider availability may limit the result.
