Thank you so much for your patience.
You've been requesting it for a long time, and we're excited to announce it's finally here!


Automatic:
  • If you have Dark Theme enabled in your System Settings (e.g. Windows 10 or Windows 11), then the site should already be in dark theme!
Manual:
  • You can also select Dark (or Light) Mode in your User Preferences.
  • This information will be saved to your account and be applied on any desktop device you login to.
Please note (Easter theme 🐰):
  • The Easter Holiday theme is currently applied to both Light & Dark themes.
  • This changes the MAL logo, notification bubbles, menu and header bars into Easter-like colours.
  • After April 17th, the Dark theme logo and menu will change back to normal colours.


We wanted to release this feature as soon as possible, so you may notice some colour inconsistencies on pages which are used less frequently. We'll be updating and polishing these lower level pages with time. However, if you notice anything particularly blinding or unreadable, please let us know!

Thank you again for waiting all this time. We heard all of your requests and did our very best to make this happen (シ_ _)シ

Nice feature. But maybe a bit "too dark" don't you think?
