How do you keep track of anime?

>>149599570
Mal.

MyAnimeList, of course.

>>149599570
With a text file.

With my brain.

Myanimelist dot net

I don't. I'd rather not keep record of how much of my life I'm wasting. I prefer to live in ignorance.

Taiga is shit.

>>149599570
Mal.

And even then I only use it to keep track of what I've watched. Forums and reviews are garbage

binge a series and then cross it off at MAL.

>>149599570

Pen and paper.

I don't watch anime.

Ive been following anime seasons for almost 10 years now, for most part. So I don't need something to keep track of things when I know what I'll be watching and when I'll be watching my shits.

To add a new episode in your literally just click it from the home screen. Super convenient if all you want to do is just update it whenever you watch the latest episode. The actual anime list page is also basically exactly the same as MAL. You really are just getting your panties in a twist for no reason.

Same. MAL is good for keeping track of finished stuff while a notepad file works wonders for stuff I'm interested in.

I don't use a tracker for when new episodes come out as I usually like to watch shows once the whole season is out. There are exceptions to the rule though when there is a particularly hype show on /a/.

all the way.

I just download them.
When I finish watching an episode, I either delete it, or if I want to keep it, put a $ at the beginning of the filename.

Is that all the info it can show? I know MAL has a bunch more in their new anime list, but my site of choice is AniDB anyway.

Only one that keeps tracks of my files and where they are stored.

>>149600447
The point is being able to look back at what you watched four years ago. And to find shit you didn't even know that you wanted to watch it.

>>149600816
I only score shows for myself.

Why not just move it to a folder?

because sometimes I stop watching a series in the middle of it. That way I know which episode I need to watch next.
For example, apparently I stopped watching AA at episode 5.

You can click on the name to add a note but that's about it, anidb looks like it might have some other cool metrics though, I might check it out.

>>149600816
I don't really agree. I feel like if you can't quantify how much you like a show then you really don't know shit about it.

Number scores aren't great for the outside observer looking in (ie someone looking for an anime recommendation) although they do serve their purpose somewhat.

When looking back at a show your watched though? Number scores are a great tool.

>>149601017
Okay. Now recall your three favorite series from 2009.

>>149600199
I don't use MAL because I'm not a faggot.
This >>149600547 is correct, even if he's frog cancer.

I just have a "games and anime" .xls file with all the stuff I've played/watched, and all the stuff in my backlog
I've been doing this since 2006 because I wanted to have a personal file on my phone and internet on mobile wasn't common back then
Which reminds me, it's been 10 fucking years since I've been keeping track
I remember wagering whether or not to include Eva Rebuild 1.11 because it was a movie and not a series

So is memory. If you can't remember how much you liked/disliked a show and elaborate on it then you either watch it again or just not talk about it. Not go, "Oh, well I gave it 9/10 so it was probably pretty good huhuhuh."

>>149599570

It has a more robust search feature and also a weighted score for each anime that is the actual vote score but normalized to a Gaussian distribution (i.e. an Anime that receives a 7 will have a weighted score closer to 5 since they realize most people consider a 7 "average")

You can also organize a VA's roles by date or rating which MAL doesn't let you do.

I ask Redditgahara to remind me

I don't. I have this huge folder of random episodes, fanart, soundtracks, and manga of everything I've watched over the last 8 years. It's about 2 terabytes now.

How do I manage? I get used to it, I guess.

>>149601423
Why do people watch every single garbage series at once?
I don't watch anything where I can't tell beforehand with a 90% ratio that I'll like it. I don't watch anything with a garbage artstyle.
I've only ever dropped about 10 series, because I don't randomly watch things where I can't be sure that I'll like then. From time to time something obviously comes up that's way different from what it looked like before I started watching it, but that's about it.

>>149601622

Some people aren't as picky and enjoy a wider variety of things than you do.

>>149601622
>I don't watch anything where I can't tell beforehand with a 90% ratio that I'll like it.
Neither do I but I'm still watching 12 shows this season alone. Not every season is this good but it's not unlikely I'll pick up at least 3-6.

>>149601523
That's pretty cool, can you rate shows out of 100 instead of 5 or 10? I think that's the single biggest change I'd look for if I was switching my tracker, I'd really like to be able to give my precise scores. At a minimum I'd really like an out of 10 scales that allows for 0.5 increments in score.

I see why you yourself would find it useful, but on the large giving numerical values to feelings is detrimental for any entertainment-related content, since it gives retards with misinformed/ poorly thought-out opinions the same voice as those with reasonable arguments in a poor man's socialist solution. Also MAL specific is the fact that you can rate whatever the fuck you want since there's no real way to check if you've anything, and people that actively rate shit like it matters have the most absolute, ocean floor bottom level shittiest taste in existance; and the idea that people are expected to use these scores as guidelines is fucking bonkers

>>149601805
You have an option to show increments of 1 or 0.5 in the vote dropdown, on a scale from 1 to 10. Alternatively you can enter something like 7.43 and hit Enter.

The site takes some getting used to, but it has a lot of options and info. You should look into tools to scan your files (the site has an old Java applet, but that one sucks) and mark them as watched. Alternatively you can use generic files if you don't need to track what you've stored.

>>149606151
Having to manually update the notepad every time you watch something is really annoying, Taiga is much much more convenient.

I discivered MAL something 10 years into weabooing and by that time it was too late to try adding all the titles.

>>149606447
What's the point of tracking when you don't get neat stats given to you?
And yeah I can remember the episode I'm on most of the time for airing anime but for stuff I stopped watching for one reason or another it's really useful, I don't get why you'd waste your time doing it manually when you can get a program to do it automatically and way better than you would be able to.
