let lists: MediaListGroup[] = [];
let [animeWatching, animeCompleted, animeDropped, animePaused,
    mangaReading, mangaCompleted, mangaDropped, mangaPaused] = lists;

await AnilistClient.fetchUserAnimeList()
  .then((collection) => {
    collection.lists!.map((l) => {
      if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Current) {
        animeWatching = l;
      }
      else if (l.status === MediaListStatus.Completed) {

await AnilistClient.searchCharacter("Gintoki", {
  page: 1,
  perPage: 10,
})
  .then((charactersResponse) => {
    characters = charactersResponse;
    nonDetailedCharacter = characters[0];
    })
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

Getting more details of a character
