Happy second birthday to us!
It's hard to believe, but we are 2 years old. Sometimes it seems like the day when we began to "invent" the Shelf was just yesterday... yet sometimes it seems like we are carrying this project through our whole life. An amazing thing, isn't it? :)
How much have we achieved? Good question. From the beginning we understood that with just few of us it's impossible to get everything at once, so we've never set complex goals and objectives. All we wanted was to become useful for someone. And, I think, now we are. It is confirmed by you sharing posts and drawings, writing suggestions and complaints, or just the fact that you update the page. At first we did not think about it, but it turned out, that users give much more than they take. And there are no longer just the two of us. We have already 15 team-members who contributes to the project every day (or every night) - project which is not longer just ours, but public. Thank you, our invaluable helpers! Without you we would not be able to control such a large web-site which Shelf has become. Speaking of growth, there is no longer just fifteen of us, we have more than 1,500 users and guests who visit the site every day. But perhaps the most unexpected thing was the fact that during these two years we've actually made lots of friends. True friends, who give you Birthday presents, come to visit you from another town or listen to yours complaints at 2 a.m. Thank you!
So, while someone needs Shelf, we will keep on carefully looking after it, and there are many more interesting things waiting for us ahead! Thank you for staying with us ... :)

Hi there. The Shelf was down for a long time today - we were making a big update. In general it makes the site work faster, so it's hard to notice it with the naked eye, but believe me, Vallefor spent a few weeks on it, so thanks again to the Shelf creator :)
The second part of the update brings functional changes:
- You can now filter the anime one've watched by genres (inset "my anime").
- You can edit several pictures at once now. Draw attention that for mass editing it's not necessary to put all the ticks, you can just select the area you want with the mouse (yes, like in Windows).
- There were added the same opportunities for mass operations with private messages as well.
- There were added "ties": now if you make a blog post, directly related to an anime or a figure (a review, for example), you can put a link between them. That should materially ease the search at our site. Read more about ties here.
- A few more visual elements.
The update was difficult, so bugs are possible. If something works incorrect, don't forget to report!
Thank you!

MyAnimeShelf starts to work with a Russian Internet anime-shop named Fast Anime. Since, I guess, there is no interest in it to our English-speaking users, all the details are on the Russian version of the news article.

Hello,
We’re finally ready to announce the results of our Spring Lottery. Unfortunately, things went terribly wrong this time. First, Tenshi had been delayed and now we failed to record a video due to some kind of technical issue. Cause of this we decided to pick out the winners using a program written by Vallefor. It chooses a random ticket out of the list given. We’ve also made a bunch of photos for you as a compensation.
So, let’s congratulate our winners:

Summer has come to MyAnimeShelf.
Michelle and Leila got undressed and went to the beach :D Beach Queens!
…many thanks to Koniks, our team artist :)
13 Jun 2011
As you noticed, Spring Lottery has been stopped according to the schedule and bonus tickets were sent to those of you who had gained 40 RP or more during this Spring.
In total 647 tickets were «sold».
That means 1 ticket gives you 0.15% chance to win a gorgeous winged figurine of Tenshi by Good Smile Company, our main prize.
The results will be announced by the 20th of June.
BTW, Tenshi figurine was released today, so the delay in shipping won’t be as huge as one might expect. We’ll be also giving away 5 small Hetalia figures and a notebook with Shelf mascot of your choice on it. I wish everyone good luck and stay tuned!

Less than 2 weeks are left until the end of our Spring Lottery. So, here are the details on the prizes. First, Tenshi (Tachibana Kanade) figurine was delayed. Now it’s scheduled for June release. Bot don’t worry. What we’re going to do is to hold a drawing as planned and to ship it later, but as soon as possible. As for the small prizes we’re having Hetalia trading figures from the second set by Kotobukiya. Hope, there would be guys who like them. Looking forward for the upcoming drawing!

Don’t know how about your neck of the woods, but Winter is still at its height here in Moscow. Good to know, Shelf lives according to its own schedule.
So, our Winter Lottery will be stopped on the 10th of March, 23:00 (Moscow time). That means you won’t be able to buy lottery tickets with SP (Shelf Points) from this point. At the same time you will receive your
Check what time will be at your place.
When it comes to your entries — all the figures added before the 6th of March, 23:00 (Moscow time) will be moderated before the end of the lottery. Everything added later will be moderated afterwards. Remember, that blank fields in anime database can be edited without premoderation.
The results of the lottery will be announced during the week after it ends. I wish everyone good luck. Kaworu and everyone else here are eager to know the name of the winner!
Well, and as for the next

About 15 days left until the end of our Winter Lottery. Who gonna participate?
As you all know we’re giving away 1/8 figure of Kaworu by Mega House.
As to small prizes, once again, we’re going to have Evangelion figures from Bandai. Well, I still have some left, and since the main prize is from Evangelion, I guess small Eva figures should do as well.
By the way, we have already started preparing the next lottery…

Hi everyone, I’m happy to introduce our newest update.
This time we started redesigning the pages of our users. Just visit your Shelf and you’ll see the difference. Well, perhaps it does look a little bit less cosy than earlier, but I hope — more mature and more suitable for a project we are.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to finish the redesign. Vallefor (our senior programmer) caught a cold, he’s suffering from a high temperature right now :( Anyways, we decided to update the site so that you may test the innovations we already made and express your opinions and ideas about them. One more time, the redesign isn’t finished yet.
Also I’d like to say that we have a page on Facebook. You are welcome to like us and to invite your friends to join us ^^

Thank you for your help, Toma and please, take care of us and our Shelf :)

久振りですね...
Finally, we have returned with a new update. This time, we were upgrading "My Photos" section. From now on you'll be able to create public photo albums, which is actually something similar to Facebook, etc. Now every user does have a new "Photo" button oh their Shelf, which will lead to a special page showing all public albums of the user. Why does one need a public album? Well, for example, you can create "My art" or "My journey to Japan" album, or whatever. We do not apply any restrictions on subject matter of the photos for now. You are also able to create subfolders.
All currently existing photo albums are considered to be private, which means it's impossible to get to them from your Shelf. Still, you're welcome to identify figures on the photos from private albums or use them while blogging, etc. as usual.
We've also changed the way figures are being identified on the photos and the pages' headings.
Hope, you'll find it useful. Thanks and see you around.

We have a very special prize this time — Nagisa Kaworu from G.E.M. series by MegaHouse! This is the first male figurine to become our Lottery Prize.

Be aware that the cost of the tickets was changed.
1 ticket = 45 SP
1 ticket = 40 RP
There also will be smaller prizes. Moreover, once again we’ll be giving away a bonus-prize. Last time it was exclusive MyAnimeShelf mouse pad, but our current prize will be kept secret until the drawing.
Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone,
I have returned with the results of the Lottery. Are you tired of waiting? I'm really sorry - Vallefor and I got a cold of some kind, that's why the results were a bit delayed. Now everything is ok, so let's continue with the most interesting part - the drawing!
We had 206 tickets participating this time. Thanks God our figurines offered us some help.
And here is the video (I'm sorry for my accent and stupid smiles, I always become very shy when it comes to filming).
If you're not in the mood of watching videos, you can learn the names of the winners by clicking on the spoiler below.
SpoilerI already know the names and addresses of all our winners due to Christmas Masquerade event. But I was told that not all of the participants want to keep the prizes for themselves, so those guys, please tell what to do with your prizes.
The folks who didn't win a thing, please don't be upset. The next Lottery is going to start on any minute, I'm sure you'll be luckier this time.
11 Dec 2010
Fall Lottery has been stopped since yesterday and bonus tickets were sent to every user who had gained 40 RP or more during this Fall.
In total 206 tickets were «sold».
That means 1 ticket gives you 0.49% chance to win 1/6 Asuka by Kotobukiya, our main prize.
The results will be announced within the next few days.
The winners will be chosen by random. Asuka and all of us, I guess, are anxious to know the name of the luckiest person who will break the bank. I wish everyone good luck and stay tuned!
