Mal.

MyAnimeList, of course.

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.

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.

Pen and paper.

>Implying my 212 days of anime and 46 days of manga aren't bragging rights

I don't.

AniDB and a Python script to mark shit as watched.

Animeplanet

I made the switch to hummingbird for it's cool UI but it doesn't exactly do anything that MAL doesn't

I use MAL like everyone else here.

You're shit.

mega.nz/#F!2sMnlDoK!sikUSkpN26ntmfhhZncNaw

got this folder with +2k series and i use a text file but been thinking of finding or developing a software like livesplit for watching stuff or even keeping track of books/manga

my mind brain

Looks disgusting and wastes a lot of space to show basically nothing.

I'll never understand the people who make or use these terrible websites.

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.

i dont at all.

wat

The amount of people using MAL in this thread, it shows HOW FUCKED THIS BOARD HAS BECOME

I'm not using MAL nice try.

>he doesn't use MAL to keep track of his anime and ignore the rest of the site

Don't deny yourself a useful tool for a misguided sense of moral superiority.

Kill yourself, dumb frog.

Because I am superior.

MAL, a shitty calendar, and a text file.

number scores are barbarism

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 Sup Forums.

...

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.

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.

I only score shows for myself.

>put a $ at the beginning of the filename.
Why not just move it to a folder?

Where the notepad autists at?

>tfw have shitty memory
>tfw I never kept track cause I've been watching anime since I was a kid
>tfw can't remember a bunch of shit I've watched

lmao

>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.

MAL.

Agreed.

>not just remembering things in your head

>point is
I already do that with my mind.

notepad autist reporting

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.

Okay. Now recall your three favorite series from 2009.

I don't use MAL because I'm not a faggot.
This 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

Reporting.

I also use notepad

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

By remembering and not watching 20 different series at once.

Yes, I think your actions are barbaric

There's nothing wrong with MAL unless you use the forums.
I also use hummingbird because I love making lists.

Im watching 27 airing and several more as well and it does get a bit too much to handle at times.

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.

MAL

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.

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.

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

>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.

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

Who /1000+/ club here?

MAL, No need to complicate things when its the most simple one.

>How do you keep track of anime?

With my brain?

reporting

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.

Sounds pretty cool, I'll give it a trial run thanks user.

MAL.
I've been using it longer than most people have been on Sup Forums. (almost 10 years)

fucking wow. announcing reports is against the rules

...

I don't

ayy ayy

Is there any better way of automatically updating your list?

this

>he thinks someone actually cares
Kys

i thought i was the only one using this

Taiga

dumb frogposter

MAL of course
myanimelist.net/animelist/Titus_Andronicus

I still don't understand what MAL offers that notepad doesn't, minus the cancerous community. A list is a list.

Data of the staff involved, and multiple ways to sort the list.

Convenience. And MAL with Taiga even more so.

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

I just use the notes app on my phone. I should probably find something more organized, but it works.

Kissanime bookmarks list

I used to have an empty folder of everything on a large hard drive but then it died one day.

now I have no way of tracking

20 different tabs open at all times

I update at the end of the season, are you people really stupid that doesn't know which episode you watched last?

>having a program automatically update anime as you watch it makes you stupid

K.

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

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.

Plex server.
Yes, I don't delete anything I download.

>How do you keep track of anime?
