Another source for data for anime.
I recommend using Myanimelist as another source for your anime section. It's a large database dedicated just to anime. It also shows many things such as popularity, user ratings, what's airing and what's upcoming and most favorited. Here's the link to the website if you're interested.

@Changchangy You can always use extensions such as https://github.com/nliautaud/trakttvstats to add MyAnimeList links along with the TVDB etc links of trakt pages.
I am only a Trakt user like you, but in my opinion, standard data sources and anime data sources are too different to work together without a ton more manual merging work and issues

To be fair, I believe it'd cause more problems than it would solve.
On anime data sources such as MyAnimeList, Anilist, Anidb, and others, animes are separated so that each season or even special episodes have their own entries. That would be a mess to manage and merge with TVDB and others, which have seasons and specials in their own series.
Compared to the drawbacks, I don't see enough benefit to use another anime source.
To you, @Changchangy, what would be the added value on Trakt by changing anime source ? Popularity, user ratings, and so on, are not currently imported by trakt, and other basic information is already imported from standard sources like TVDB, so I fail to see any benefit to be honest.

Hopefully for the near future then!
