I started to watch Anime back in the 70s so it would be nice to be able to enter it in the DB.

Use Firebug to edit the HTML:

Or use Tamper Data to edit the post parameters:

Or use Export feature, edit <my_start_date></my_start_date> and <my_finish_date></my_finish_date>, change <update_on_import>0</update_on_import> to <update_on_import>1</update_on_import>, and import it back

Or you can also make a script that will send post query on its own via javascript, jquery and ajax, but that's a bit complicated, so I shan't bother

Or maybe it's possible with some external app such as MAL Updater or Taiga (just a guess)

November 19th, 1984 at precisely 10:17AM I started watching Mobile Suit Gundam. The database needs to be changed so I can put that in there!

If someone keeps a diary then it's fairly easy to find out what date they watched something.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Well, for shows as I watched when I was 4 or 5, no not really. But there are databases with airdates on the net.

Thanks Serhiyko!

It's also possible with API:
javascript:void($.ajax({type: 'POST',url: 'http://myanimelist.net/api/animelist/update/29705.xml',data: 'data=%3C%3Fxml%20version%3D%221.0%22%20encoding%3D%22UTF-8%22%3F%3E%20%3Centry%3E%20%09%3Cdate_start%3E12301985%3C%2Fdate_start%3E%20%09%3Cdate_finish%3E00001985%3C%2Fdate_finish%3E%20%3C%2Fentry%3E'}));

Replace that number with anime ID, first date with start date and second date with end date in the format mmddyyyy (replace month or day with zeros if you don't want to specify)
Paste that into your browser's address bar and hit enter (in case you are using Chrome, don't forget to manually type in "javascript:" at the beginning). It will ask you your username and password, don't worry, it's needed to log you in into API
