Zoro to MyAnimeList XML Converter

This program converts the "export.xml" file from the Zoro.to anime website into a format that can be imported into MyAnimeList.

Disclaimer:

• The converted MyAnimeList.xml does not have the info for the amount of watched episodes, so by default it will be set to 0.
• This only matters for anime in the watching, on-hold, and dropped categories since the completed and plan to watch categories are still valid despite being set at 0.
• Please be aware if you already have any anime on the Zoro export on your MyAnimeList they will be automatically set to 0 after importing if you skip the step of entering them in manually.
