Do y'all keep a list of what you have seen?
 

I've been keeping an excel file listing all the anime I've seen so far.
This started after I downloaded an anime THREE FRIKKIN TIMES because I couldn't remember that I'd already watched it. :mad: (Happy Lesson was very forgettable to me):D

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else does this, and what method they use.

golly I've seen a lot of anime

I dont keep a list of anime's i've seen...but i do keep a list of the fansubs i d/l...

since i dont have ms office or anything similar...i use a text file to keep a list of all of them...1 text file for each series...and in the text file i put the group name that subbed it...and what the ep name is...

I don't keep a list because it would have been VERY large quite a long time ago. However, I do tend to remember what I have seen. Get a list of well over 500 series going and we will see if you still keep it up to date. After a certain point it just isn't worth it. If I haven't seen it I download it (strange it used to be that the anime would come to me, but sadly I must go to it).

I disagree. Being an old timer too, my list is up to 761 different series/movies/OVA's, split between Good, Fans Only, and Bad. The ratio is fairly close to 25/50/25.

It's fun to go back over the notes I take on animes that I wouldn't remember unless prompted... especially the stinkers like Najica Blitz Tactics, Toshinden the Anime, or Bite Me! I got pretty creative in my attacks on anime that I felt wasted my time.

:) It also helps in these forums when people ask "what's your favorite <whatever>" I can go down the list and remember things that I wouldn't be able to pull from the noggin.

I don't keep a list of everything I've seen, but I do keep one of everything I own. That includes both fansubs and dvds. I have one list of just fansubs, and a master list with everything and what format it's in.

nope i dont keep a list of everything i've seen.if i did it would be around 50 or mayb more.hehe.now for dvds i have no need to keep a list but i sorta have it in my mind.hehe.right now im making a list of dvds i want to buy.

Yes I keep a list. Since I've not trusted my own memory for... years now. :p

my memory is pretty good
i could never list off everything i've seen, but i can definately tell you if i've seen something or not if you give me the name

yup me too.all i need is the name and i can tell you if i've seen it or not.thats how good my memory is but to listing from memory..it will take a long and i mean long time.too many ive seen.haha.thats why i said 50 or more but i bet its either around 100 or something like that.

I don't.. That would be *way* too difficult for me and besides.. It would be *really* hard for me to forget an anime. ^_^; I do keep a list of what I own on DVD though.. But just anime I've watched, that list would be too huge! And I don't remember all the anime I watched years ago. :P So nah. I don't think I'd ever keep a list.

List Poll
 

I thought that Small One was right about it being a good idea to add a poll to this thread, so without further ado, here it is! (Incidently I don't keep such a list. I only keep a list of the anime I actually own. It's a much shorter list!)

'twas written there, "Happy Lesion".

Happy Lesson actually. :( It's late.

Paper list? Wow. Hard to search on that.

I also keep a text file with what's on CDROM.
I actually made a batch file which appends the contents of the CD drive onto the end of such text file. It's not an exact way to find something, but it works well since I keep the CD's in order they were created. I bet there's better ways to do this. ^_^

-k

I keep a list of my anime collection only (in Excel format). I also list 'where' the cds are placed (in Word format). And I only watched about 50% of all the anime in my collection. I don't need to keep track of which anime I saw, though it would be nice to do that, for statistics and stuff. I'm interested to know how many episodes and how much time I spent watching all those shows.

No...
the only list I got is somewhere in the back of my brain...

Yes, I do. I have a list with all the animes I've caught till today :D

I have only a list with the 30-40 animes in progress that I follow with the last episode number of each one, but when the series stops, I remove the name of my .txt

Nope. No list. I used to enter my data in that animenet thing which calculated your ratings of anime you've seen to suggest anime you haven't seen, but the site died I think.

No, I don't actually keep a list. I can remember them tho.

My download history isn't that long cuz I just got my unlimited broadband connections. So I mostly watch those on TV or buy them off the shelves. :D

And maybe because I am abit choosy and only watch those that appeal to me, that's why the list isn't long also. :p

i dont keep a list but i remember them all, writing a list would take long ^_^

I watch like 20 series at a time so I would lose track of what ep I'm on of each series. I use to use pen & paper but it wasted alot of paper ^^; The one day I realised I could just use text files, duuuuuhhhhhh. So now I keep two text files, one for downloaded one for watched.

Nope, I don't keep a list of all the animes I have seen. I only keep a list of the animes that I burned on CD.

I do keep a list of all the anime i've seen (in whole or in part). Also put in how much episodes I still need, wether or not i'm collecting it, and alternative names. i started doing this because i couldn't tell if i had dl / seen / bought certain things allready or not

yea, i ahve a speadsheet with all the anime i have burned and what i got on my computer, its just easier to add watched.
cause when i look for new animes 2 watch that i have burned to disk then its easier to filter out stuff

I used to keep a list (still have one on animenfo, but haven't updated it in a while). No use in updating it actually, it's all in my head, I know exactly what I've seen and up to which episode (and from the current series, I know from which group :) ).

Nope, with all the anime I watch, there's no way I can keep it updated. Besides, I know what I've seen, so there's really no point in me doing so. I like to keep a list of stuff I've downloaded though, just so I don't d/l dupicate episodes and waste bandwidth.

Sheesh. I wish I could do that. :D One of the features of my anime Excel file is which episode I've seen so far. This helps a lot when multiple groups are doing an anime and I can't remember which ep last came out.

A similar problem is forgettable anime which do not have descriptive titles. One of my favorite things in fansubbed anime is to download a good anime that I never heard of and be pleasantly surprised... :love: (I remember Princess Tutu and Jungle wa Itsumo did that.) ... so I usually download the first episode of everything on the animesuki list. However, how could I remember if I'd seen "Harukanaru Toki no Naka de OVA" if I didn't write it down? Can any of y'all remember that one?

I don't keep a list like this, I can remember all the animes I've seen, but I can't remember up to which ep for all of them, I can usually remember around what ep, so I kinda just use trial and error after that. I could use a spreadsheet for all the burned animes I have, that would probably be pretty useful.

I would never accidently download a series I´ve already seen but I keep a list all the same.

Hi, new to Animesuki, thought I'd just add my 2 cents...

Yes I keep an actively updated list at www.jasio.net/anime.txt its just something to let me know what I have/dont have. It's actually a pretty nifty tool once your library starts to expand.

When I burn them, then yeah. You have to. Otherwise you'll be recording the same file over and over, and its deffinitely a waste of money.

In harddrive, I don't mind keeping track of what I have since downloading it is just minutes away.

Yeah, i keep a list of all the ones i watch and all the ones i need to watch.

As a matter of fact, I do!

(Note: List is very incomplete)

I keep a list of anime that i have burnt to CD or DVD. I think i have a total of 15 DVD's (4.7GB each) and more than 30 CD's (700MB each). If you think about it, that's lots of anime when some episodes/series are 40Mb/episode. I have a whole database on what i have. I'll post it on my website sometime.

of course, any anime fan should have a list of what they have...

I was also wondering what systems y'all were using... specifically, I was wondering what automatic systems y'all use (or have made) for recording what you've seen or what's on CDROM.

Something besides pen and paper or a text file. :D

Whatever anime I dl'ed I created a new folder (matching the name of the Anime)for them in the HD under a specific-folder and add the series as it progress..For anime movies and others I just add to my specific-folder..So I see a list being created itself without my intention of doing so:D..

i keep a list of all the anime i've download and it's been very easy up to now. I use a program called printfolder which creates a list of files on any directory into a text file. All i have to do is put it in an excel list. See my list if it's any help.

I looked at the excel file, did that program make all the columns?

If it's just a file listing program the following in a batch file will do the same thing:

dir /b /o /s e: >>all.txt

This appends the contents of my CDROM drive to a text file. I click the batch file whenever I make a CDROM and I've got a "precise enough" record of what's on CD. Does anyone have a better system, maybe built in to your burning software?

I used to. But I don't any more. I save all anime I download anyway, so that's my list. Just check my collection of CD-Rs and DVD+Rs and the HDD, and there you have it. (Except for the ones I've bought of course).

I delete the ones I don't like though, so I guess the list isn't complete. I'll make a list in html sometime though. So I can keep track of it all.
