Summary

Many fans of anime keep track of shows they plan to watch on a site called Myanimelist. Many times this list can grow to dozens of shows, leaving them flustered as to what they should watch next. They end up posting their list on social media asking others to help them choose. Pick makes this easier by generating a poll out of a user’s plan to watch list which they can then share. Others can quickly vote for a show without having to type out a comment or an argument, and the user can quickly see which option is a crowd favorite.
