Hello,

I've been experiencing an issue with my watch lists for some time now.
In my "Plan to Watch" list, there are some animes that I never added.
Today, I received a notification that two animes I plan to watch are airing, but I never added them.
Not long ago, I spent about half an hour moving animes from my "Plan to Watch" list to "Dropped" to clean it up, but this problem continues to occur.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

While it's technically possible to temporarily put "Not Yet Aired" shows on your dropped list (or watching/on-hold), MAL frowns on it and will forcefully put them back to "Plan to Watch" every night.

(The exceptions are shows that are known to have had preview releases ahead of their official premieres - MAL will allow you to pre-emptively drop them and keep them that way.)

@Jhiday Thank you for the answer.
If I add a "not yet aired" show to my drop list in anticipation (I do this so I see the red square when browsing, which helps me know I’ve already checked it and don’t want to watch it), could it end up back on my "plan to watch" list ? Is that correct ?
A "don't want to watch" list would be helpful in that case, too bad it's not available.

It’s time to ditch the text file.
Keep track of your anime easily by creating your own list.
