Anime Commands

Why in some anime, I got an error message saying related to NSFW content?

By default, Ryuuzaki Ryuusei allows "Ecchi" titles to be previewed in non-NSFW channels by checking individual tags and genres if they are indeed "Ecchi" or not.

If by any chance you got an error message saying related to NSFW content, it means that the title is might contain Hentai or other NSFW content. You can still get the title's information on NSFW channels, though.

Manga Commands

Why in search results, some manga have "Possibly NSFW" label?

By default, Ryuuzaki Ryuusei allows "Ecchi" titles to be previewed in non-NSFW channels by checking individual tags and genres if they are indeed "Ecchi" or not.

However, in AniList, whether a title is NSFW or not is determined by the community. So, there are some titles that are not "Ecchi" but are still tagged as "Adult Content" by the community, just because they have small amounts of nudity or sexual content.

The "Possibly NSFW" label is there to warn you that the title might contain some NSFW content, but it's not guaranteed.

Why in some manga, I got an error message saying related to NSFW content?

See Why in some anime, I got an error message saying related to NSFW?

Why in "English Title" and/or "Genres and Tags" name, there's an asterisk (*)?

On "English Title", the asterisk (*) means that the title is not the official English title. It's either taken from community translation or directly using transliterated (romaji) title. This does not guarantee that the title is in English at all, as the bot only checks if the title contains English characters or not, which in some languages, it bypassed the test.

On "Genres and Tags", the asterisk (*) means that some of the tags or genres are removed to comply with some server rules. The bot will not tell you which tags or genres are removed, but you can check it yourself by clicking the manga's link. This only affects on non-NSFW channels.

Why in "Genres and Tags" name, there's an exclamation mark (!)?

The exclamation mark (!) means that the tags or genres are labeled as "NSFW" by AniList. This only affects on NSFW channels.

Having direct link to MyAnimeList on result is nice... BUT WHY ALSO SHIKIMORI? HECK, WHAT IS SHIKIMORI EVEN?

Shikimori is a Russian anime and manga database. Yes, it's Russian, but it's also available in English. It's also one of the most popular anime and manga in Russian-speaking countries.

You may wonder why it's there. It's because Shikimori media ID is LITERALLY 1:1 with MyAnimeList media ID. So, implementing it is not that hard.

also, I'd personally Shikimori is sister site of MyAnimeList, but FOSS

Profile Commands, in General

How do I mention someone's profile?

Simply type /profile and mention the user you want to mention on user argument. You can also use their platform's username as the argument.

How do I mention my own profile?

Assumes that you have registered your account and linked, you can simply type /profile <platform> without mentioning anyone. This will show your own profile.

For /profile discord command, registering your account is not required.

How do I mention my own profile without typing my platform?

No, you can't. You have to type your platform.

How to customize how much information I want to show on my profile?

You can customize the returned information by modifying embed_layout argument and select the layout you want. /profile discord does not have this argument.

For /profile lastfm, you may prefer to use maximum argument to show how many tracks you want to show.

Why Minimal and Classic is... oddly similar?

Minimal and Classic layout is indeed similar, but there's a slight difference between them. The difference is that Classic layout will show your profile picture (and banner if any) and list status, while Minimal layout will not.

Also, Classic layout will get additional related buttons to external sites, while in Minimal, it only shows the buttons to your profile and lists.

DONT YOU THINK HIGHLY DETAILED LAYOUT IS TOO MUCH?

That's the purpose of it. :P

Profile: Discord Command

Why there's "PronounDB Pronouns" section in my profile?

This section is only available if you have registered your account on PronounDB. This section will show your preferred pronouns.

What's Snowflake? '-')

Snowflake is a unique ID that is used to identify your Discord account. Snowflake itself consists of 3 parts: timestamp, worker ID, and process ID, which are unique to each Discord account.

Profile: MyAnimeList

Why my profile is not showing up?

There are several reasons why your profile is not showing up:

  1. You haven't registered your account.
  2. You might have registered your account, but you changed your username on MyAnimeList.
  3. Your account is private.
  4. There's unknown problem when contacting Jikan.
  5. Jikan still trying to cache your data first.

Why there's weird grid image on my profile if I chose embed layout other than Minimal?

Grid image you saw is a generated heatmap image provided by MAL Heatmap, which shows you a quick glance how much titles you've consumed in a day.

To register your activity, simply heads up to their homepage and put your username in there.

Do note that Ryuuzaki Ryuusei's developer is not liable any damages happened in any 3rd party sites you've linked to. You may ask the site's developer instead for any problems related to the site or you wanted to remove your account from the site.

Profile: AniList

...why card layout uses AniList's embed card?

It's because you chose card layout?

No, seriously, it's because AniList's embed card is faster to load than the bot trying to generate the card itself.
