Anilist to MAL

Anilist to MAL is a simple python tool that lets you export your anime list from AniList to MyAnimeList.

PLEASE NOTE i don't really maintain this anymore! i haven't updated it in ages, so i don't even know if it still works. feel free to make forks and pull requests, and i'll get to issues as they come, but i'm not really actively checking for issues or anything.
