What anime tracking website do you guys use if any at all...

Nice blog negro

You're on Yea Forums.

I use MAL. I just wish it were linked with Crunchyroll to make updating easier lol since that's where I watch all my anime besides Netflix, Hulu and Prime. :D

I used to torrent hi-res cool sub group shit like 10 yrs ago but then I realized that's too much effort. I just want to sit my ass down in front of the tv while gorging myself, getting drunk and high, interneting from my phone.

>tracking
Dumb niggers don't have a brain?

Can I see your notes? You handwrite them?

Don't you mean 4channel silly

...

*loses list*

Whatever Taiga uses. Fuck going to any of those sites.

Once you realize that you actually like anime enough to watch more than 10 shows in your entire life, you might notice how much keeping track of what you've watched helps. I doubt you'll ever get that far though, enjoy these two or so years until you get tired of anime.

At work right now, will post latter if the thread still alive. Yes, just the date I finished, name and different pen colors to rank them.

That's why I have two more at different places.

That user is clearly only interested in long running shonen. A true patrician.

I used to use MAL but realized it was pointless and tedious to keep up with. I just use my memory, if I watch something and it was so bland that I can't remember it then it wasn't with remembering.

I also switched from MAL to anilist some time ago.

>I don't need to make watching anime into some sort of dick measuring contest on the internet.
>In any case I've been watching anime since the 90s

Just checked anilist, its better looking that MAL, should I switch or its just the same shit but better looking?

Dumb nigger. I've watched over 1500+ series already. Currently watching 12 series this season alone.

Its called using your brain and having a personal computer that you own with a large enough storage.

Sure sure user

>like spyware

user...

i'm a streambaby and Anyme only supports MAL as of now.

Taiga + AL

Tracking anime is for normalfags.
Are you a normalfag user?

Anilist because I've been using it for a long time. Which is literally the only reason, otherwise I'd have dropped it a long time ago, especially after the retarded design choices they've made over the course of the past few years.

taiga + anilist is the only correct answer

I use Kitsu but only becaue I'm too lazy to log everything I've seen on another site. Used to be called Hummingbird, was better then too.

You just know that almost all people who refuse to track have neither seen a noteworthy amount of anime, nor have they anything noteworthy to say about the ones they've seen. They're the people who rate grids in 3x3 threads /2 or complain about the pictures being too cryptic. They don't take notes, they don't do research, they just consume and call it a day.

What's the point in Taiga? Can't you just update it manually?

Takes less than 10 seconds to open AL, go to your list, and update.

For one, you don't need to interact with a faggy site in any way to update your list.

Switched to Anilist when the Mal API died.
Taiga is just too useful to automize downloads

This. I first used taiga with mal, but switched to AL when mal shit the bed a few months ago

>You don't need to visit the site
>It automizes torrent downloads of new episodes of series you watch
>You can start all episodes from the program instead of folder crawling
It's just a massive QoL upgrade

>you don't have to go to the anime page to add a show to your list
>you can start the episodes from Taiga without having to find the files
>10 seconds is still too much compared to nothing, and you don't have to remember what episode you stopped at
>the torrent list i guess, for people who don't use qBittorent RSS

Hasn't it been more than a year now?
And the API is still down.
The worst part is that there is no way to sync mangadex or local manga reading.

To be honest i have no clue, it feels like it happened a few months ago, but it could very well be a year. Never bothered going back to mal, so no idea whats happening on that front

I use to have one0 on, Animenfo, ANN and then switched to MAL, now I don't care and stopped updating it. I guess it's fun/interesting to see what you've watched through the years but, it gets to a stage where there's no point to it. Who are you going to show off the list to, your parents? I've been watching for 15+yrs.

I'm mostly mad about the fansub ratings.

Based and zenpilled

Understandable, thanks. Didn't know it had automatic torrent downloads and easy opening of files.

Yeah this is what I use. The automation of everything makes everything so easy. The built in torrent search is nice too.

I can't take people with 0 drops serious. I guess you either watch at 2x speed or hate yourself to sit trough garbage shows.

I only pick up good shows.

The stats are kind of nice on AL.

Attached: 3434.jpg (1107x805, 52K)

Anilist.

That's even worse, because you don't have your own sense of taste so you rely on others to decide what you watch.

I used MAL when I used to bother watching 12+ shows a season to remember what I was on years ago. Now I only watch like 3 or 4 a season so I don't need a tracker.

I don't bother with anime tracking

but I let tachiyomi update to mal and anilist

And that's a good thing.

question for anilist users, can you sort your list by the advanced score? like sort by animation or audio

I have sat through a lot of garbage, but I know what I like at this point. I guess I watched 3 episodes of Bleach was I was 12 way back and never continued, but I dont have that on my list.

Unfortunately not. You kinda have to do it by using tags right now.

This. Makes keeping track of 48+ episode Mecha shows or other super long 80s shows way easier.

What happened to the preferred subgroup on the anime pages of mal?

Does anilist have something similiar

why would you need to track what anime you watched? are you autistic?

why the fuck would you stream though?

>are you autistic?
Wher u think u are non-kun

Got removed when the website was bought. And no, it doesn't. Anilists database is worthless anyway. You can't use that website for research, there's too much shit missing. The only reasons to use anilist is for the extensive list features. Everything else is dogshit. However, list features are arguably the only thing that really matters anyway.

Because it's response to sorry you guys can't read

My tracking list is my fucking harddrive(s). If I like an anime I keep it for my collection, data storage is cheap. If I don't like it I drop it and delete it, it's not worth remembering or adding to some retarded checklist as if I'd forget that I attempted seeing it.

MAL has the most users so it's going to have the most thorough data. Simple as that.

But that's wrong. Anidb and ANN have way better databases than MAL. No idea who still submits data to Anidb but it had always the by far most thorough and most of all accurate staff pages.

as a guy who uses MAL I cannot tell you how false this is, there are so many missing anime and manga, the mods and staff TAKE FOREVER to add info. I legit requested an anime to be added with all the information up to date and it took THREE MONTHS for them response ... an absolute joke, the mods on MAL don't take their role seriously because their not getting paid and are hired based on community approval rather than skill they always have this smug when it comes to their attitude, it always feels like i'm to robot, absolutely disgusting, I would have switched over to Anilist if not I were not lazy to do so.

I was only talking about the anime database. The manga database on MAL is garbage.

That too is horrible
Do you know how many characters are missing from MAL?
or how many misinformation there are, I know so because I request to add and fix them, and either they never respond or it takes MONTHS for them to do this. People have been complaining forever to MAL about this, still no response

I've pretty much given up on MAL for manga. Baka-Updates is the way to go.

Isn't that mangaupdates?

You can't even expect anime databases to keep up with manga releases. There's no point. The schedules are too fucking random, there are too many spin offs and oneshots, there's often no information so no place to confirm and so on. I don't know how poorly kept anilists manga database is, but I doubt for it to be much better. Manga are a fucking meme anyway. There are some people on that website who have a thousand titles and currently reading. Retarded.

you don't need one for anime. manga is the only medium that needs an active list.

Yes.

It's funny how easily you can distinguish people who actually enjoy anime from casuals in a simple thread like this.

As far as I am concerned, anyone who refuses to track and take notes is a casual by proxy, no matter how much garbage they've decided to waste their time on.

If you use Plex media server it tracks it for you.

Manga Updates is the only one who isn't super fucking slow with adding new titles to the database so it's the one I use.

That's some really good bait user, it's almost like an actual retard made it.

It's ok you casual piece of shit. We get it. You want to "enjoy" your cartoons and let the mind drift away. Not be forced to think, not be forced to analyze, but instead mindlessly consume as many shows as possible. No shame in it. It's fine to be a casual. But please stop pretending that you're anything but.

You're a casual, and attaching a picture from some entrylevel anthology movie to your post doesn't change that.

I used to use MAL but I'm using a physical notebook now. I only track manga now though since I only watch like 5 anime maximum in a season.

I used mal but only with taiga. Now I switched to anilist and damn I love their stat autism.

What's the point? There's only like 100 anime worth watching anyway. Just watch whatever Yea Forums says is shit

Congratulations, you figured out the secret anime, you pass. Elitism is nice to keep out the trash, but when you have nothing to show for it it's just sad.

I actually did the exact reverse of OP because, even though Anilist has a better aesthetic, the website is a bloated, shitty, half-broken piece of shit, and I'd rather just not.

I don't take it that seriously to begin with though. I update once every couple months at most.

I don't keep track of what I watch other than the fact that my media server obviously does it automatically for every video I play.

Do as a bunch of people have mentioned and see if Taiga interests you.

I just want to know why it's so fucking hard for these tracking sites to have a decent manga database. MAL, Kitsu and Anilist are all trash in that regard. I feel like MAL hasn't been adding any new manga at all for over a year already. Manga Updates is the only one that works but I want to have a pretty looking library

Most of the time your opinion of an anime months or years after you watched it boils down to one remarkable scene or cut or the opening or one of the characters so noting down what you thought of it after you completed it is helpful if someone asks your opinion of it
Of course in the end its all pointless anyway

Fuck Anilist.

spreadsheet

I keep a backlog in a text file. What is even the point of keeping a list of the things you already watched?

Of course i am a casual. Sometimes there is nothing worth to watch in a season. Why i need to watch anime every week? To interact with anons in Yea Forums?

Anidb. It has everything I need and a very good database.

i keep using mal because it's more useful for cross-referencing stuff

If you can't remember a show you've watched, you probably didn't like it anyway and it won't matter in your future unless it's a popular anime everyone loves, in which case you should remember that you've watched it and didn't like it. The rest that you forgot about probably won't matter.

Anilist has wrong dates for a ton of shows each season and straight up didn't have an airing show listed last season which I almost missed because of it. Needless to say I won't be using that shit anymore.

However many it takes to get 100+ days. Number of episodes is a poor measurement because a 5 minute episode would be counted to same as a 24 minute episode.

Anime takes too long to watch.

Anilist is not too bad in my experience if you can't stand mu's shitty ui; they seem to actually try and accept manga submissions.
I need to make one click script to fill out form from MU's page.

>Bloats up number for no proper reason.
It only bloats the total entries and dropped number. It can be useful to spot a trend of studios and directors that mostly make things you find shit. It means I know to maybe give Trigger another go when Yoshinari is directing as he's done the only good one so far and ignore the rest.
For all the people that don't use these sites for tracking I'm assuming they still use them to find information like studio, staff and cast.

From my experience the mods are reasonably fast unlesss you submit anime shorts. For those they usually take 2-3 weeks. Every other submission I've made (a few hundred) they've usually accepted within a few days. Although I've never submitted any manga information so I have no clue how competent the manga mods are.

>Bloats up number for no proper reason
This attitude is hilarious. You keep a list to TRACK what you've seen. Not to brag about the total amount. If you don't track the anime you've dropped, you're no better than the people you accuse of keeping a list solely for bragging rights.
Just put One Piece on 10 times rewatched. There you go.
Agreed. But the list features are the best you'll find, so it doesn't matter. Same with the custom scripts that add a shit ton of useful and interesting statistics. You can just modify the shitty design through simply scripts to make the website look less bad. Still looks terrible, but whatever.

There is an argument to be made whether it's worth adding stuff that you dropped 5 or so minutes into the first episode.

Literally what even is the fucking point in tracking what I've watched when it's all on it's own dedicated drive on my computer anyway?

Better searching.

Not everybody has 50TB of space, user. That's how much you'll need if it's your way to track. I have 8TB and my drives are full 99% of the time. And I only save/store the stuff I've managed to at least get some genuine enjoyment out of. Which doesn't account for more 25% of the stuff I've seen, if even.

>You keep a list to TRACK what you've seen
Yeah, bro, let me just add 1,000 series because I dropped it after getting bored in the first episode.
>you're no better than the people you accuse of keeping a list solely for bragging rights.
Like you're one to talk since you have to strawman some bullshit just because people don't use a tool exactly the way you do.
I add the list of stuff I completed because it makes more sense and more useful to me. Dropped shows don't matter to me, I'm not going to accidentally pick up a shit show I've already dropped before.

And you're no better than those people who try to act like they have high standard because they have more dropped shows than others. See how that works?

I don't? Why do you even need a list? You should be able to look at an anime and remember if you've seen it or not.

It could still be worthwhile. At some point in the future you may feel you were a bit harsh on it.
It was across a much shorter period but the first time I put on Yuru Yuri I closed it within 10 seconds. I think I was just too ill to deal with a hyper show at the time and went back next week and loved it.
I'm sure there'll be times when a general bad mood at the time might also affect it and it's worth looking back over a dropped list in general to wonder if any are worth another go. NNB was the only SoL I'd ever dropped and looking back this year I didn't really know why. After giving it another go it's a decent enough 7/10 and gives me reason to look forward to S3.

I use anilist and Taiga to automate pretty much anything from downloading new episodes to updating series I'm watching. I've seen over 1k shows and have 400 more on my to watch list. At a certain point you start forgetting which shows you've watched or dropped or want to watch in the future.

How exactly? I've never used a site to track what I've watched so I genuinely don't know. How is it better than just searching your drive?
If space is a problem you could just delete the files of stuff you won't watch again and keep the named folder.

Am I the only one who switched to Kitsu? I feel lonely.

They didn't have an automated way to dump an exported MAL, so yeah probably

Any mainstream OS/filesystem is still painful to use outside of hierarchical directories and files pattern.
Meanwhile with a tracking site every item in my list has crowdsourced meta-data like authors, genre, tags, etc. I can also with one click see any search result list as grid of images for quicker scanning.
Setting this all up with files will be pain in the ass.

Going further if I want something more fancy/custom I can export my list into machine readable format (json, xml, etc) and do whatever I want with custom program.

>I feel lonely.
I hope none of us use these for any form of interaction so it shouldn't matter.
It's basically just a list that has more details than any of the ones people have in text files and spreadsheets.

>If space is a problem you could just delete the files of stuff you won't watch again and keep the named folder.
Then how does saving shows on a harddrive serve as a way to track what you've seen?

Fair enough.

I don't see that as an insult. I drop shows. So I obviously have higher standards and expectation than most people. Here on Yea Forums people take pride in not dropping shit shows. No clue how that's a desirable course of actions.

Simply having the names of stuff you've watched on your computer is enough to keep track of it, at least for me. If you don't have space and would rather use a site than have empty folders/other files with names then by all means go ahead. I just don't need to see genres and tags and such personally.

>How is it better than just searching your drive?
Total amount of available data. Anilist has tags that help you identify similar works. Also allows you to do research regarding a given animator's or director's past works. Easier to figure out who you like, what they've worked on, and what its characteristics are.

Right, instead you browse Yea Forums, a board filled with people pretending they are leet because fake total watched claims and shitty wannabee critics.

I'd forget to watch all the specials and OVA's if mal didn't remind me.

You're so smart. Very witty. My oh my. I seem to have lost this argument before it started. Hats off to you, sir. You win alright.

You sure you didn't directly from the MAL forums? You sound like someone from MAL, r/anime, Anilist global Twitter feed.

Oh my you caught me red handed. Guess I better go back.

How many TB is that?
I rather mark down things I'm done with in a list than waste space on stuff I'm never going to touch again.

Anyme, it's an app

I just keep a notepad page with all of the anime in my backlog in it. Everytime I finish a show I just place a marker next to the name.

the dev is the biggest holier than thou mental retard I've ever seen. app is fine though.

I've only been watching for 4 years and I have over 180 anime completed

>I'd already forgotten a ton of shows so it's not like I could make an accurate list anyway.

That's less than what I watch per year.

Hmm... Yes, I am sure that by the time AniDB (2002) was available you had seen hundreds of anime offered by your local village rental.

2, they think their watched number is a power level

Fact is, once you stop being a newfag and have seen hundreds of shows, you stop caring. Consequently those who care are newfags.

But I've seen thousands and I still care. What now, newfag?

Anime is for virgins though, so I don't see why anyone would want to show off the amount of it they've watched.

Anilist. Used MAL until their api died last year since i use Taiga and android apps, so i switched.

>calls it a fact
>hundreds of people on MAL clocks thousands of titles
Doesn't seem like a fact to me, newfag. Shouldn't you be busy watching some anime?

My personal rule is that if I drop something after only one episode, it doesn't count as watched enough so I don't add it to my list. Also I don't have ADHD so I don't drop things before finishing an episode.

MAL defender! Check this guy out. So assblasted. What a joke. You're making a clown out of yourself. Just look at how people around here laugh at you fags. Go back kid. Or better yet, post your amazing profile for all to see and laugh at since you're so proud. Let's see your "power level." lmao.

AniDB seems great but I prefer using a dedicated program than updating lists on a browser, its official programs seem to suck ass, and there's no way I'm going to spend an entire day manually porting my watched list over there. And thus I'm satisfied with Taiga.

You're category 1.

These were cancer threads. You probably don't know because you actively posted in those and thought they were Yea Forums approved. Cancer doesn't know that it's cancer.

t. 250 anime watched newfag

Actually, if you watch hundreds of shows just to bloat a number so you can tell people you're an anime professional, you stop caring. If you watch hundreds of shows because you genuinely enjoy anime and this is one of your hobbies, keeping track of what you've watched is the least you can do.
The fact that you've gone so defensive on your opinion is proof that you're the former case.

Yeah this is also how I do it, if I don't keep watching a show after one episode then I was never really watching it to begin with, so that doesn't exactly count as dropping it.

Doo it. Doo it. Doo it. We got a pro in here. Post that profile. It's already public anyways.

LOFL The absolute state.

Why use a local file where data is limited, UI requires work, research is impossible? There's virtually no reason to use a text file. Unless you have a personal database with all staff member information available, tagged entries and so on, It's plain inferior.

Notepad++. Works better for my needs than tracking sites.

I don't really care about the site itself, I use that program 'Taiga' to manage my anime files and it keeps track as a list. It just so happens to be linked to Anilist because MAL shit the bed in a big way one time, and I just switched and never needed to change back.

Holy shit dude you really are triggered to hell.

I don't use a local file. I use an online database focused on data.

it's cooler to brag about social media chastity than about how much anime you've watched

I use a text file because I can organize it better and because I don't count different seasons as different anime. For example this is my entry for Zetsubou-sensei:
>Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei {1-3}
On MAL is was something like this
>Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei
>Zan Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei
>Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei

Can you use it as a cross reference when looking up stuff?
I don't really care how many thousand anime I've seen or how many years I wasted but it's nice to quickly recall what I've seen and what I haven't.

Not sure what you mean by cross-reference, but it's all in alphabetical order by original name so I can easily find anything.

Of course he can't. That'd require a database, which he is unlikely to have. And if he does, he has wasted copious amounts of hours.

I've thought about making a database but yeah it would be a lot of effort. I don't know if I'll ever do it.

Actually, panda threads started getting hunted down by newfag mods in late 2016.

Sounds good. Sadpanda belong on one of the 10 dedicated porn boards.

nice projection

I use MAL, it's not even about dick contest, which those are 3x3 shit threads from Yea Forums but you want to know what the fuck you've watched

Why not use an existing Anime DataBase that contains all the data?
Splitting up things that aired separately doesn't seem like a huge obstacle.

There's virtually no point when 10 of them exist online. Especially when some sites have autistic tags like this

I used MAL in the past but it doesn't suit my purposes and the other sites don't seem any better.

lanblade never has his list private and you try to use private as an excuse for not posting for half an hour. *eye rolls*

Go back to MAL's forums.

What do you not like about anidb?

Besides the staff being newfag casual dickheads, these sites just don't let me organize and view stuff the way I want. I also don't like being dependent on a site. Case in point, my IP address was once permanently banned from the entire MAL domain because of something or other I said on the forum.

Are you admitting you're from there or are you really this new to Yea Forums or the internet in general? And damn son you seem awfully hurt by 's post if you're still trying to yell at that guy 90 fucking minutes later. Feel free to keep going because this is hilarious and I want to see how much farther you'll still go.

I would buy your hard drives for 3000 dollars. Would you sell?

What's wrong with that? There isn't that much more airing unless you're into kid shows with houndreds of episodes. And eleven episodes a day isn't a terrible rate.

As someone who's been watching anime for almost 3 decades, I think I may never understand the appeal of keeping some sort of log of the shows you watch.

my man

>you had seen hundreds of anime offered by your local village rental.
Mostly purchases (vhs then around 2000 switched to DVD) and vhs/vcd fansubs around that time, digisubs and torrents were becoming a thing in the early 2000s but I don't remember the exact year i started downloading. Some rental but there wasn't a whole lot available in the local shops. Probably wasn't in the three digits yet in 02 but I'd been at it awhile at that point. I don't recall ever coming across anidb that early though regardless.

Why would you even post on a forum?
I rather have the comfort of a maintained database even if I can't customize everything. I can still export the data to have everything available locally.

Get rekt and resort to
>lolumad seething.
Feels good to win and watch people rek themselves. And you are following up after already got caught lying. So right back at you.

Zero self-awareness as expected.

Have you never tried to watch something only to realize you had already seen it?

It wouldn't be much effort to make a DB and scrape the series/info you care about from existing sites.
The most annoying part would be making a nice gui.

>I also don't like being dependent on a site
You can export your list as txt, csv, xml, json or html, download it and be completely independent from the site. The lists are also transferable between anidb and mal. The staff on either site should not matter to you, what reason do you have to get involved with them in the first place?

That's a terrible thing. Off yourself you fucking NPC.

>17 hours later
>thread still up
I know Yea Forums died long ago but it still pisses me off when i see shit like this not deleted on sight.

You really should put some effort into trying to learn the difference between using those sites for tracking and using them for their community.

Maybe you should take a look at the catalog. There should be about a hundred other threads that should piss you off.

>watching 76
>eleven episodes a day
This is depressing, and the fact that you took it the other way as if they were implying it's too little makes it even worse. Even if it is true and you average 4 hours wasted on anime every day, at least focus on watching a handful at a time and finishing them before starting new ones.

How do you finish an anime before it finishes airing?

I don't see any issue with that, he might be working on his backlog while keeping up with seasonal stuff. 4 hours per day spent doing something you enjoy shouldn't ever be considered a bad thing (and it's by no means "wasted"), what the fuck are you on.

I switched to AniList back when MAL went down. The only thing I regret though, is not having a way to make backups of my list on AL. If it ever goes down, I'm going down with it.

My lists covers things from before I was born, that aired on TV when I was a child, up to everything from last season. When I order it chronologically it serves as a historical record of the industry as well as of my own interest in the medium throughout the years. It also reminds me of minor shows that would blend together in my mind otherwise and the circumstances in which I watched them.

I started listing my anime in the days of dial-up, when the internet was too shitty to download shows but good enough to get in contact with other people and physically exchange CDs. Sharing lists was a necessity so others would know what you had to trade. By the time I learned about AniDB my list was just big enough so that it was worth it to spend some time porting it over, and since then it's been so easy to keep it updated that I don't see a reason to stop doing it. After a season ends it takes only a few minutes to go there and mark everything I watched from it.

I don't track anime because 1) I'm not a faggot 2) I'm not a tracker, though I do use a private tracker
regardless I use anichart for marking shows I'll watch but not for what I watched, sometimes you forget there is a kirara show around the corner so you need to stock up a pile of tissues

What is the end goal of tracking?

Suffering from amnesia/alzheimers, not knowing what anime you like anymore, finding your list and rewatching your favourites like it's the first time.

>feeds my ego
not really for me. but it's a helpful tool when others ask for recommendations or when you try to remember some title but only know the genre or something.
with hundreds of anime you eventually lose track if you didn't write it down somewhere

I can't remember 70% of what I watch, neither the episode or the series name. I feel like people who track anime lie to some extent

I use Kitsu, it's serviceable enough and isn't riddled with cancer like MAL

>I don't turn watching anime into a dick measuring contest
>But let me tell just how much more anime I watched compared to you
Aho.
Also the main selling point of AL over MAL is that AL lets you turn your profile completely private.

Habe you considered you have brain damage?

People don't NORMALLY forget waht they just watched, user

I use MAL for anime and manga but also MangaUpdates for manga. I like being able to have custom lists on MangaUpdates and have separate lists for ongoing things I want to read, finished things I want to read, things without full translations, etc. Manga and LNs tend to get MU pages before MAL pages too.

No user, there no endgame to anime, there is no point to consume any form of media at any point other than patting yourself in the back. I have watched countless anime and only remember some of them, I could tell you the ending or the beginning but I cannot tell you how it started or how it ends. Anime is medium of mediocrity and degeneracy, there is no point to all of it

I don't get what it is you're saying. What's the relevance of this
>I can't remember 70% of what I watch
and how does it imply for people who track to lie? Being forgetful is the reason why most people track. I've seen so many shitty OVAs, I need a list to filter all the shit I've already seen while searching for new stuff to watch. Otherwise I'd be downloading the most mediocre and forgettable works twice or maybe even thrice. I admire people who have seen 2500+ anime and still not only remember all of them, but also remember their exact thoughts. I rather type out summaries for myself, bullet points for pros and cons, customs lists etc.

Being around anilist and MAL the reason why people track these days is to roast or show off. There is no deep thought that goes into works/reviews. Check out aniDB is you want a real tracking site

is aniDB the only of these sites that actually tracks releases for the episodes?

Yep, and they give out which subbing information about what you're tracking

Just use livechart.

AniDB has nothing I care about that Anilist doesn't. Anilist has better rating options in form of advanced scoring while AniDB has nothing but a shitty 1-10 rating scale, better custom lists, easier accessible notes, better integrated list filters, better custom scripts for analyze said filters etc.

I have no need for the stuff AniDB offers over Anilist. Why would I document what version of a show I've seen or whether I've saved it? I'd rather not spread this sort of information beyond animebytes. So when you call it a real tracking site, all I see is gaining worthless gimmicks and losing actually useful features.

Why would you even want scoring?

To apply integers to the works I've seen so I can filter and sort them by animation quality and a bunch of other very personal criteria.

>just watched
That's the point. Not everyone's a newfag who started watching anime a couple years ago, so the majority of stuff in their lists is not something they just watched, but something that happened 5, 10 or 20 years ago. Nowadays there's more stuff than ever before so you're not going to remember everything you watched even 1 or 2 years later, let alone a decade.

An extra level of dedication to a hobby. People who despite anyone who actually enjoys anime seem to really hate it because they refuse to take anything seriously.

sometimes I go seasons without watching any anime but now im binging whole series every day so idk

Where's the mods, I thought they always deleted mal threads?

Are you blind? This is anilist

Considering I only recently remembered that I'd watched Abenobashi over 15 years ago and can't remember a thing about it this seems about right.
I'm sure in another 15 years I'd probably forget things like Hulaing Babies and Takunomi and may feel like watching them for nostalgia although as I'd be approaching 50 it seems unlikely.

Not sure if you're aware, but Kitsu has an auto-export function enabled in it. This means that you can use taiga to update to Kitsu which instantly updates to mal too.

Livechart is definitely better than anichart now, that's for sure. The redesigns they push makes evrything worse.

Why are anti-trackers so vehemently opposed to suitable technology like databases?
Are they modern day luddites? Do they get masochist pleasure from using a text file?

When you're making breakfast do you open the cabinet and have to drop everything because you can't decide between two different brands of cereal? What happens when you have eggs in the fridge too? Get help.

Various explanations

1) They are newfags who haven't seen enough anime to forget
2) They watch anime purely for fun so they can't comprehend why someone would wanna treat anime as more or understand a certain level of passion
3) They think using a database means you're also posting on the database's forums
4) They don't understand how a stuffed database can help you statistically analyze your viewing habbits
5) They are trying to fit in

>he doesn't mix cinnamon crunch, frootie loops, choco pops, then adds a cup of milk and half a cup of water just to stop eating them after he's finished half the bowl and peel a banana instead

Fucking normie kids without critical thinking.

>mean score: 8.28
lmao

i only rate shows i complete faggots and if i dont drop it then its good

I do that too but 8.28 is still pretty high. 6 and sometimes 5 too is a good score. Just because you like something doesn't mean everything should be an 8+.

i only stop watching a show when i get bored of it. and i pick some of them up again months or years later.

>Because I liked it is 10/10
Retard

have u seen shows with mal rating of 6? some are ok or even good but most are fucking bad. so i try to rate with that in mind. 7 seems to be average in mal, not 5 as it should be.

This type of thinking just makes you part of the problem. Garbage deserves garbage ratings, not pretty empty lies to fit in.

thats why i dont rate garbage. only shows i enjoy (complete). and btw who gives a shit about mal ratings anyways.

Attached: oskgfl8d9l031.jpg (515x1029, 107K)

You can like something without thinking it's an 8, 9, or 10/10.

>mfw mean score 75
I consider 70 to be the absolute average so I need to start watching more garbage shows
I think ill start with happy sugar life

thats true but ratings are subjective af. i dont care much if the animation is objectively mediocore/bad or if the sound work is shit. i rate the experience and imo a show i manage to complete at least deserves a 6. and from that 6 to 10 gives me enough of a range to differentiate between how good the shows were.

MAL literally says what each score is supposed to be. 7 is good, 10 is masterpiece, 5 is average and so on. How is that so hard to understand? You don't even need to be a tryhard anime "critic" who hates everywhere to be capable of giving honest ratings based on your opinions.

shut up retard I dont even use MAL
Its all my own opinion in my first place christ above

you must be a reeeeeeeeeeeeal no life if you're trying to say those are small numbers

do you know where you are

Fuck off leddit

I'm too autistic to put my anime into an anime tracker. I get nervous at the idea of people looking at the anime I watch and judging me on my tastes and it gives me panic attacks

Almost like the option to set your profile/list to private exists for a reason.

I already found your list, cry harder.

I started with a flashcard and when that filled up I made my own very extensive spreadsheet. Unfortunately I made it based on individual series as opposed to individual seasons because I didn't fully understand the industry and used Wikipedia more at the time. It works great but doesn't help with individual seasons and side stories/spinoffs/OVA series. For most stuff it's fine, but any series with mixed media types can be a pain. And there's always the question of whether spinoffs count as their own entry. Standards are loose.

I've since transferred everything to MAL, but I maintain both. It's more work, but my spreadsheet is better for backlog purposes and has superior sorting and filtering abilities. It also means I can keep it offline. I intend to transfer my MAL to Anilist +Taiga whenever I get around to it.

I also keep my manga list on the same spreadsheet on a different sheet, but I don't even try to keep track of chapters and volumes.

wut, I just have a shitty memory

Without a list I would never remember what I have watched and end up downloading anime I have already seen. Also Anidb is the best
