| "Who Has Watched the Most Anime on MAL?" Some bots, Ryuseishun is not even close to them. |
| Bots, pretenders, and people who share accounts with others. My buddy was just telling me one of the mods or one of these ridiculous users has actual lost media added. As in 'impossible to watch' media. Highly suspect. |

| That guy a NEET? He's got 6 years listed and says he started in 2010. He's younger than me by a year lol That's just hard for me to lay out logistically. |

Check out my list and you will see only the best of the best. As for legitimacy, valoon seems to be among those few. Yeah I believe in quality over quantity too. Why waste your time watching trash and then having to scrub your eyeballs lol. Yeah spacecowboy did seem sus. Just look at his birthdate LMAO. Chandela said: That guy a NEET?

Zneruse said: Thanks for the clarification mate.Valoon has anime like Big X listed as complete, which is impossible because Big X is almost entirely lost media. Spacecowboy gets called fake a lot more than Valoon which I find odd. Nothing he has listed would be impossible to watch, and he has been watching anime for much longer than Valoon has. |
| I have another 15k anime to watch to even be considered as one of the few who's seen the most anime. I've only recently started my journey to watch all the anime released last century. Also, I keep a good track of all the stuff I've seen each year I've been on this site, so you can easily see my yearly numbers (on my profile page) |

| I have no idea but I would guess Spacecowboy probably. |

MichaelGracio said: He's definitely adding by a different metric from what we understand as 'completed' (having all the necessary or appropriate parts. Entire; full.), yeah. That being said, I think "trust" is a strange word to use in this particular instance. But yeah, if he plays new shows indefinitely at 5x speed or whatever so that he can add them, good for him. Chandela said: First and foremost, most of the entries he has in his list are shorts or OVA, therefore, making it easy to get through but also, watching anime for 10 years, all day or at the very least most of the days it is not so far-fetched to think that it is impossible to watch that amount.That guy a NEET? He's got 6 years listed and says he started in 2010. He's younger than me by a year lol That's just hard for me to layout logistically. Whether a neet or not, he seems to have lots of free time at his disposal. Now, I went to meet my good old friend, Wayback Machine, and the last three years where his entries got grievously increased as supposed to his early days of watching anime: Oct 25 (2012): 77 - completed Mar 24 (2013): 399 - completed Apr 7 (2014): 1039 - completed Mar 29 (2015): 1334 - completed May 5 (2016): 1,772 - completed Mar 22 (2017): 2,305 - completed Apr 24 (2018): 4,013 - completed Jun 7 (2019): 5,978 - completed Aug 12 (2020): 11,140 - completed There are many ways to look at this: 1. He has watched anime before but it was 2010 that he really got hooked on the medium but for unclear reasons he didn't add them at once. 2: He's watching them at 2x speed, especially when it comes to long anime and thus the day watched reflecting on his entries. 3. He's really watched them by perhaps skipping fillers/worthless/some episodes along the way. Still, I trust him, I mean, his taste is quite good. Everybody needs something For me it's Aikatsu! and drugs lmaoooo |

| Poor people are just minding our own business and you guys suddenly make spectacles of us. So what if we have seen so much anime, all of it just shows we have nothing better to do. Both people who have seen thousands of anime and have been on MAL since the 2000s. Don't talk about them as if their some exotic animal at the zoo, or a bot. |
 |
| Actually i dont believe with people that watched more than 1k anime except they add ona, ova. Special, movie that contain only 1 eps each anime |
 |
| I'm not sure I can finish more than 1000 anime. Even completing 200 anime is quite difficult. |
 |
| There is no way to verify people have watched what they claim to have watched. |

| Gintoki and Sugita's birthdays are 1 day apart. |
| It's hard to say cause some people with like 10k+ can be faking a few entries but spacecowboy has to be up there. He's been logging on every day since 2007 and consistently watching anime so even on the chance that some may be faked, it's still a guarantee that he's comfortably seen well over a 1000. |
 ManWild |
| probably most of the "completed" tag is Hentai anime, like mine. |
  |
| I'm inclined to believe that https://myanimelist.net/profile/TsukasaKei is legitimate, due to the extensive tags and good level of reliability when cross-checking with some of the things on my dropped list (things I have been unable to find sources for). Notice how he also has 0 rewatches marked, so in terms of unique animation seen, I don't know of anyone else here that passes it. |

Spacecowboy gets called fake a lot more than Valoon which I find odd. Nothing he has listed would be impossible to watch, and he has been watching anime for much longer than Valoon has. Simple as it is, I put such entries on complete even if there are only a few episodes available. I wouldn't know what to do else with them, I don't want to put them on watching for the rest of my life, but also don't want to move it into on-hold or dropped. Sure, it makes things a bit more inaccurate, but with only 2-3 such anime per year the total amount of those doesn't really make an impact. And in the end, the list is there for me to organize anime and not to impress somebody with it. For this purpose I have compiled a list of such anime (or rather, I'm in the process of compiling it haha) and you can find this list in the FAQ section of my profile. Sometimes also some anime reappear, we had this happen with Kyoro-chan for example which was considered as lost media before. Also another simple reason is, that it would take way too long to update every entry (e.g. many scores are pretty outdated, i will update them with the time...) But since I have all anime now in a simple excel table thats way easier for me to update, much accurater (I can rate every episode instead of just the entry) and also I can add external infos like, Raw available? subbed? dubbed? etc. When I enject this into an SQLDatabase, it will also allow me to sort things much better than MAL allows to. E.g I would like to see which anime I saw in summer 2016. With my file I will find it easily, on MAL I will have to look at each entry seperately (is 04th june spring or summer season? etc.) Also it gives me info about how many episodes came out in a season, which MAL doesnt tell me. Also I have the freedom to exclude things! There are many things on here already that I don't consider Anime (like the chinese donghua) or stuff like this: https://myanimelist.net/anime/48789 which I don't think is necessary to have seen all anime. In the end, my goal is to filter out all the great and good anime series, remember the mediocre and bad ones, and don't care about the unneccasary ones at all (in terms of preservation, etc.) (Also in rare cases even the full OP seems to be "lost", like the OP for "Oh my Konbu"... I gotta search for the CD in japan lol) MichaelGracio said: Chandela said: That guy a NEET? He's got 6 years listed and says he started in 2010.

He has watched anime before but it was 2010 that he really got hooked on the medium but for unclear reasons he didn't add them at once. Still, I trust him, I mean, his taste is quite good. Yeah thats kinda right. I started in 2009 (but only 1 anime lol) then in 2010 i got more hooked, but it was not until 2012 that i started to watch seasonals (and joined on MAL). Once you reach this point, you just have to be up to date and your list will just grow automatically. Not really sure what caused the jump in 2020, but I would say that corona gave me even more freetime now (basically i live as a neet even when I'm not lol) and probably I used that time to finally watch some movies, OVAs and all the other small stuff _______________________________________________________________ Also when it comes to watching anime (series), I'm pretty confident that it is possible to watch all anime in just 10 years. Actually, I started over in 2020 so I get some rewatches here and some new anime I didn't watch yet there. Planned like this, I can watch until 2030, when I will have finished everything and rewatched everything lol. So i think it's totally doable, normally people just watch anime randomly thats why it might seem like there's an endless amount of it. But in actuality, there are only approximately 200 Anime Series per year, which equates to around~ 3000 Episodes per year, which roughly is 1000 hours which not even is 3 hour of anime per day. (e.g 2010 had 2992 Anime Episodes, 2000 had 2705 episodes, 2020 is still ongoing but right now it stands on 2886 episodes) (which is also interesting, because the number of anime has increased but the average number of episodes per anime has decreased over the decades) _______________________________________________________________ That said, when looking for big lists, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned https://myanimelist.net/profile/lanblade yet, since he is basically like a senpai to me lol and just 4 entries and he will have his 10.000th entry complete =P But yeah, in the end this isn't a competition, but everyone has to just enjoy their own journey with the help of his/her list. |

| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| Dunno about others but SpaceCowboy is a legit user with those many animes watched. |
 |
| What will you do with that information? Also the user you listed isn't even remotely close to the users I've seen here lol.

| A lot of it is bullshit. If you break it down there are jumps of like 335 days worth of time within a 380 day gap. That's logistically impossible. deg said: the MAL database moderator valoon is one and you can get more people here https://www.mal-badges.net/ranking NextUniverse said: p sure it is valoon. but I once saw some illegitimate updates. |

See my previous comment regarding that; you just need to watch 6-8 hours anime daily on average for 10 years to finish all anime (and I didn't yet) |

| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| What's funny is that MAL actually used to have a section called "power users" which showed the users who had seen the most anime, but they removed that feature, probably because it was too easy to cheat on (not hard to make a bot add every anime to your list). |
  |
| The problem is authenticity matters - and as someone who is apart of multiple Anime DB severs and have direct knowledge of the community i can wholeheartedly confirm MOST lists you will see towards the top of both Days Watched AND Anime Completed are going to be fraudulent and inauthetnic OR bots. First of all logistically there's only ~13,000 total anime that can even be completed. There are several thousand entries on MAL that are entirely lost media; or Old safety VHS's from Kyoto in the 1970s that have never been uploaded online. Extensive teamwork is often required to view many difficult anime, in terms of locating and backing up sources. Valoon's justification is still not only implausible- its impossible. http://prntscr.com/1335lse Per wayback machine, On May 23 2018 Valoon was at 669.2 days of anime completed. 380 Days of real time later- on June 7th of of 2019 Valoon's total watch time jumped to 1,004.9. This is an increase of 335.7 days in just 380 days of real time. You don't need to be Neil degrasse Tyson to figure out that's not just mathematically improbable. It's beyond impossible. Valoon is far from the only offender. Spacecowboy, and many others towards the top have also been proven to be inauthentic. If you want the real answers to who has seen the most anime - it's @Tsukasakei or @lanblade. - Since Lanblade does separate his hentai from his main list. Another is @hirahira. Why people feel the need to inflate their list through titles that they haven't seen is a mystery even I have yet to solve. Thanks - Jimmykudo3000/Johan |

Phlaryx said: It's not even completionism, it's vanity.And his mean score is a 3.86. How the fuck you gonna watch all that anime and rate them lowly like that lol. I bet this person just watches for the sake of watching rather than enjoyment. Like that completionist mentality or something. |
Phlaryx said: Chandela said: It's not even completionism, it's vanity. The person hid their list but I’m curious what they consider a 10/10. I bet the amount of 10s this person gives can be counted on a single hand lol. Not sure how this part is particularly relevant though. I also only have a handful of 10s. |
