Ever since I first started using mal, yeah. Usually after a few hours of binging I update my list. I like to keep things in order so I make sure to keep up with my list.

Yeah pretty much. When I'm not updating my list, it means I'm not watching or reading anything.

Why would I want the whole f'ing world to know what anime shows I am watching btw? It makes no sense to be to do that...

@DesuMaiden, people are different, ig. For me, MAL happens to be a track site that I use.

@DesuMaiden, why not? The reason I even have MAL is to discover and track anime and so on. Do you use MAL or any other sites like Anilist?

I update my anime list after watching each episode. I update my manga list after each chapter, or I update after I binge read.

With weekly episodes, I tend to forget to update my list. But I do bother updating it when I can.
Does it update the dates anywhere in our personal lists when we've watched a specific episode? I honestly don't know.

I do have some kind of OCD when it comes to start/end dates though. I even go through my streaming services' history to see when exactly I watched the first and last episode, and it irritates me when I can't find it or figure it out through memory. I'd rather not feel that way though.

I update the exact start date and end date for all shows. Not sure how you can log individual episodes (without putting a custom comment). I usually have MAL opened on a browser tab and just click the + to the count when I complete an episode.

Pretty much same. That's why I don't feel the need to input the exact day when completing an anime.

@DesuMaiden Bruh, is this why you haven't updated your list at all in over a decade now? https://prnt.sc/dWyU3yoxcFkk

It depends. The anime I watch on Crunchyroll, I only update here once I've finished them. The shows I watch on other sites, I update after each episode because Crunchyroll keeps track of which episode I was on, while other sites usually don't

I try to update the list the same day I finish an anime. Otherwise I'll forget and never do it. I have bad memory.

I get used to update the list after watching an episode on the same day, so imo it's a wise approach.

I always update my list via the MAL app, which takes just a few seconds, so I usually update my list immediately after watching an episode. Most entries have the exact date because this is automatically entered when I start watching the anime and finish it, but I don't really care, even if for some reason the automatic entry didn't work I don't bother to enter a date and just leave it blank.

@DesuMaiden No offense, but why are you even here on MAL if you're not updating your list at all?

I understand not wanting to share your list with others, but what's the point of using MAL if you're not doing that? You could at least track your anime and keep your list private if sharing it with others is your main concern.

@-DxP- The MAL app is quite fast for updating your list, but it's not that convenient for other stuff. I mainly use it when I don't have access to my laptop.

Btw, a community mod replied to my thread? I feel truly honored! ^^

@Pokitaru well, you raise a good point. I just like chatting with other anime fans on here, rather than sharing my anime lists on here tbh...

If you mean the start and finishing dates, I don't do those manually

They are added when you use a third-party app such as MAL Updater or explicitly go to your own Anime list and then choose "edit", but it's quite counter-intuitive to expect people to do that themselves when the information could be just gathered from the time of the update of the first episode to the time the last episode was updated and/or the series was set to "completed"
