Low quality bait.

I use a notepad. One notepad for what I've watched, including dropped shows
Then on my bookmarks bar for Google Chrome I have a folder for shows I'm watching, shows I'm watching of the current season, manga I'm reading, etc. I also have a notepad for all torrented anime I have.

I don't.

I don't. I just forget about a lot of the seasonalshit I've watched over the years. Rewatch things I liked a lot sometimes.

It's useful if you us it through taiga and never bother rating stuff or actually visiting the forums.

I use it to keep track of what episode I was on in case I put a series on hold for some reason. Also to track my backlog.

>>144297453
Why would you list which anime you watched?
I am legitimately curious, it is not as if you would watch it twice by accident if you didn't write it down and even if you totally forget about it you will probably remember it once someone mentions it or makes a thread about it.

I like Taiga because it keeps track of what episode I'm on when I might otherwise forget if I haven't watched an episode of something in a while. I tend to watch a lot of anime all at once and it might be days or weeks before I watch another episode of this one series. Backlog things obviously, current stuff you just watch when it comes out.

>>144298717
If you feel like rewatching a show but don't remember the name, go through your completed MAL and maybe you'll remember it by the cover

>>144298717
I like to know how much of my life I wasted on this medium.

>>144298717
I'm assuming OP means episodes?

Sometimes one takes too long a break and forgets where one has stopped; has that not happened to you?

To all notepad fags and guys who think this is too much of a chore to bother with

I implore you to try taiga, it changed my life. Why perform manual labour when we are in the age of automation? Let intelligent software automatically detect what exact episode of what show you are watching and silently update the database in the background.

I rate things too because I like to pretend that my opinion matters.

If he means episodes then I can totally understand it.
I have stopped watching so many series because I couldn't remember which episode I was in it isn't even funny.

Everyone should be using taiga. It helps keep track of everything, as well as detects new episodes on TT or nyaa using an RSS feed. You can even choose what fansubs you want. 1008It also helps if you don't want to organize your folders of anime and want to rewatch something.

I don't. If I see something I can remember if I've watched it or not. I've kind of wanted to start listing what I've watched but the problem is I've already watched so many things that my memory on what I thought of a fair chunk of them isn't very good.

>As far as I know Taiga uses MAL database, why wouldn't you use MAL in that case?
Can use both MAL and Hummingbird

Taiga keeps an offline database locally as xml files so I it doesn't matter whether MAL is being slow or the servers are down, I can just make changes to my local database and it will sync with my MAL later. I don't have to deal with the online interface that relies on an active internet connection and can just interact with the offline database.

>For RSS and the like, your torrent client should be able to do that.
Yeah, and I was using qbittorent's internal RSS to handle this before but taiga makes it easier with smart RSS filters, so I don't have to make or modify rules each season, just tag a show as "watching".

>>144299321
The stuff on hold is just a couple OVAs and stuff like City Hunter and Patlabor TV which are tons of episodic episodes that one can get quickly burnt out on if binged. So I ration them every now and then rather than binge through.

And yeah, plenty of shit to watch. Even seasonal airing stuff keeps me pretty busy.

>>144297453
MAL. Discussing it or bringing it up on /a/ shouldn't be allowed, but it does help me out not to bother with what chapter I am on in manga I stopped reading for a while and forgot what chapter I am on, or what episode I am on in some long anime I watch simultaneously with current season's anime. It's convenient.

It also immediately helps out when you check anime's list and see that this anime has some special, OVA and etc (how I found Kino specials).

I hope I don't sound like shill and for the love of god just don't read the reviews and don't decide if you want to give anime a shot based on MAL's rating, now that's cancer.

There is no need to track anything. You can never leave /a/, so eventually you'll reach the point where you have seen everything anyway. Then only the new stuff will matter. Every season I download the first few episodes, and decide what to watch based on it.

If you started recently and you still have a backlog, you could do the same thing backwards. Get the first few eps of anime from the previous seasons, and pretend there are multiple seasons going on at the same time.
It would be interesting to have a someone newer do this, and see how far they make it back in time until they decide this is "too old fashioned".

>>144300638
The best way to ruin stealth advertising threads is to unironically advertise for their competitors.
So if for example a Crunchyroll-thread appears where the question again is why you don't stream, always put FUNimation in a good light (plus perhaps Daisuki). When FUNimation does the same, praise Crunchyroll (and also Daisuki).

It increases the chances for this threads to get attention by the moderators and it ruins the job of the shills.

>what exactly is wrong with rating stuff?
Personally it just feels like 10 point rating systems are not verbose enough to me and not an accurate enough descriptor. Rather than numerical rating we should aspire to descriptive measures, a work cannot be defined as simply a point on a line, it may transcend those boundaries and be described in that a way that does not limit itself to any mathematical and absolute discrete representation.

Would you rate a piece of art in a gallery on ten point scale? "Damn man, that Birth of Venus shit is like a 9/10". No matter how shitty a show, book, manga/comic, cave painting; it is a work of art and to rate it on a discrete scales seems like injustice to the whole idea of a qualitative evaluation.

Also recently the scale has become too positively weighted where an average score is a 7/10 where it used to be 5/10. This results in the lower end of the scale becoming arbitrary and losing and evaluative meaning.

You actually run out of existing raws (much less translations) at some point, somewhere in between watching things like Gattai Robo Atranger and Notteke Explet's. There's only about 6-7 straight years of anime in existence, it can happen eventually.

There's some truth to your statement, I mean a better system could be made I suppose, it's just hard to imagine how or what.

when you marathon multiple shows in a single day, it becomes a blur

>>144301682
You are still a retard if you forget which shows you watched. Don't try and say "OH WELL I WATCH SOOO MANY".

Nobody is expecting you to remember the entire show. Just the general name of the show and what it was about. Also, if you are marathoning shows to the point where they all blur together and you can't remember shit from them, you clearly aren't watching them properly. If you are watching them just to check them off a list you don't really like them and should probably find a hobby that does engage you.

>>144300661
It does. Shows before the early 1990 are simply not available (and for a good reason). Only the really famous ones are. There are also much less shows every year as you go back in time.

I understand why people would want a list but you already have a list from when you download them into your anime folder.

>>144302404
Anichart would be nice if I could just mark how many episodes of a show I've seen.

Would you throw away a book after you read it, based purely on the notion you aren't 100% sure you would reread it?
Archiving things isn't restricted to only if you know you would rewatch it, which you can't know anyway because you are unable to ascertain how you will feel in the future.

If I can't remember if I've watched something then it was probably shit.

>>144303247
Well if you hoard something else I can understand other archives taking a back seat to them.

Why would I keep track of it? Like, for what purpose?

I don't do it for movies or television shows I've watched, I don't do it for music albums or video games I've played, so why would anime be any different?

Making sure to list every anime episode I've watched makes watching anime feel like a chore.

>>144303405

I don't because I'm shit at archiving, I don't even keep track of what I watch seasonally, I just watch and when the seasons over I delete it all. I don't have unlimited space after all. And I'm already in too deep to try and make a MAL or something, but I'm not too big on archiving anyway, I'd probably just forget to record a series and then end up the same place as I am now.

I just use a spreadsheet. Same for books, film, vidya.
It takes very little effort beyond the initial setup and it isn't tied to any platform.

Is this really something to fling shit about?

That's retarded. A good mean score should be between 5 and 7 because anyone who isn't a complete fucking idiot WOULD USUALLY BE ABLE TO WORK OUT WHICH KIND OF SHOW THEY LIKE BEFORE THEY WATCH IT AND WATCH THINGS THEY WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO ENJOY. For fucks sake.

>>144306718

Not sure I understand the question, but you can try by selecting all the folders -> copy -> and "paste as shortcut". That way only the same folders will be created with the names, not its actual contents.

Granted but you should be able to tell that at least half of the things you watch are going to be potentially good from the summary/studio/art-style/premise alone.
>There's also a thing called drop list in case you don't like something.
Drop lists still count towards overall scores because everyone (except you apparently) still rates shows they drop.

Even if they didn't, that would only serve to weaken your argument...

>>144307188
While I agree with you, most anime I've seen that weren't just airing at the time were found through word of mouth rather than random selection, so it makes sense that these shows have a higher chance of being enjoyable than the average show. As it stands my mean is 6.38 on 485 entries.

You lost me at the rating part. I drop anything that I'd rate 1-4.

I use Hummingbird mostly, though it isn't 100% accurate since I haven't always been tracking the shows I've watched and I'm sure I forgot some when I backfilled my history.

Currently sitting at 190 shows. Looking at my watching habits, it looks like most of that was watched during my high school and college years… consumption has slowed dramatically since then.

I don't.
Why would you?

>>144308086
wth now i wont either

>>144308086
For the same reason people take pictures of places they've gone and things they've done. You can look back at your list later, see a name of an anime you haven't thought of in years, and remember what it was like watching it and how it impacted you.

Just keep a physical journal, writing your stream of conciousness while watching chinese cartoons:

>Day 3054,
>today I watched the Kiss x Sis OVAs

A system to keep track of what you watched? Perfect.

Besides from the ugly looking website that's somehow worse than Facebook, the rest is pretty much cancerous. The articles are cringe worthy and bias. The scores are all wrong because people score shows badly due to various reasons. See here >>144297689 for an example. The reviews are written by children who literally have no idea how to review something. Apparently using buzzwords and writing some bullshit analysis seems legit to people these days. Oh and don't get me started on the discussion section. This is why I never rely on that site to get a good idea if a show is worth watching or not.

>>144309605
Pretty much. If you're someone with at least a shred of self respect you'd stay away from everything besides the list tracking system on that site. The community there is the worst I have seen on the internet, and I've been here since the late 90's. Your average forum poster has memes in his signature, posts filthy frank and one punch man memes, considers the fate franchise to be the greatest work of fiction and has the birth year of somewhere between 1995-2001 shown on their profile. The circle jerking is worse than that of reddit, blocking any type of free speech you're allowed there (as forums mods are the biggest circle jerkers and will defend any franchise you post a negative opinion towards), you're being considered a troll for posting an opinion, for being politically incorrect and literally for just posting anything there really. The discussions are brain-dead consisting of one-word replies (truly the epitome of lazy shit-posters), spoilers never being moderated and longer posts consisting of defending shit shows (fate) and waifu wars. Not to mention the site itself seems to be getting progressively worse with implementing useless features and bloatware, and removing older more useful functions with each update.

Needless to say I had a bad expreience with MAL. Although 4chan is pretty shit too in many ways, at least I can say FUCK YOU NIGGER without getting banned. I've been banned at least 4-5 times on MAL, and was active there for around half a year in the period of 2015, while not realising how cancerous that place it.

>Good taste
>Rates Hibike a 9, Glass Slip, Death Note, and Kiznaiver a fucking 8
>but rates Hyouka, Sakamichi no Apollon, Mushishi a 6, Baby Steps 5.

Really

>>144310720
I could bump up Sakamichi no Apollon to a 7 or even an 8, but maybe I'll wait till I rewatch it to be sure.
I love the Baby Steps manga but the anime was pretty low quality.
Mushishi and Hyouka deserve a 6, they are hit or miss

That's a big cup.

Or a small Saten.

>the ugly looking website
>post on 4chan of all the sites
you can do your own CSS if you want anyway, just like here, but yeah lets say that I give you that. The rest make no sense. You can ignore the articles (who the fuck read them anyway), you can ignore the opinion of the rest of the community, normies will always ruin everything and it's not like you can do something about that, and who use their forums to discuss anime for fuck sake.

It's a good website to have your own anime or at least is better than a notepad.

Dropped it in the first episode.

Name all the anime's you've watched before then.

>>144309605
You don't have to use any of the stuff you mentioned though. I use MAL + Taiga and never have anything to do with the community. I don't even rate any of the shows I watch because I don't give a shit. I just use it for the list function.

>>144310520
This exactly. I know /a/ is fucking bad but at least everyone here knows it's bad so you don't the stuff here seriously. It also helps that /a/ pretty much hates every anime so you won't get annoyed over that either. The circejerk is worse there. My God, I looked at some dicussions to see how they reacted to an episode of a show and I seen people who made fake accounts just to trash a show. Made me realise that these people are the ones who score shows.

Well I used the dark theme here because it looks better. But as a web designer, I personally think that site is shit. The typeface used there is just awful and too tiny. But like you said, I just use it to keep track of what I'm watching and it's at least better than notepad. I still avoid everything else on that site at all costs.

Most of those are really dropped 3/4th in but I'm either lying to myself that I'll finish them or too lazy to remove, I'm really watching 10-20 shows per season.

This and that >>144310136

I update my MAL about once every 3 or 4 months just to check my powerlevel.

>>144309851
What purpose is there in being able to do so?

I have no reason to compare what I've seen with anyone, I'm not pedantic enough to need to know, I don't need a database with added info on it to recheck somewhere in the future, because I'm not a reviewer. So then, why would I bother?
