| If i know that i have seen the whole show or if i have good approximation of how many episodes i have seen then i'll add a show. There's few shows like Tao,Tao which i haven't added because i have no idea of how many episodes of that i show i have really seen and i think they showed only half of it here in Finland anyways. |
| The ones that I rewatched, yes. |
abystoma2 said: Yeah, why not if I watched them. |
 |
| Yeah I do, though it's kinda hard to rate them because it's been so long. |
| I watched DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and Naruto when I was younger. I still love DBZ to this day actually. |
 |
| I did watch alot of pokemon, digimon and sailor moon when i was a kid. However i have decided not to add any of them to my list because for me, MAL is my little database over my true and genuine interest for anime as a media format. When i watched Pokemon i didnt even know it was anime, for me it was just another kids show. But since i watched Chobits back in 2005 i have only added anime that i have seen since then. I dont know, but adding anime from when you where a kid doesnt make my interest for anime just somehow hehe. Just a feeling i have i guess |
| I watched some Naruto and Bleach as a kid, dont know how much and dont remember much of it either. I just labeled it as dropped with a rough estimate of how much I think I watched. |
| Nope, can't recall if I ever completed the shows, so I cannot really put them on my list. |
| I don't. Simply because I don't remember them very well. |
 |
| I try to catalogue everything I've ever seen for record. I didn't register until last year or so, so sometimes I add things that were long overdue that I remember. I don't think it matters. I've rewatched a lot more than my listing mentions too, but that is so troublesome to use, I don't bother. I don't care THAT much for so minute of a detail. The only animes from childhood I don't include are ones with dubs so altered, I don't think they should count. Just because I saw Pokemon dubbed as a child doesn't mean I've actually SEEN it as listed here. I saw the watered down 4Kids version. Early dubs like that, I don't count as being the actual show. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Yes even anime I seen as a kid is still an anime, some of the anime I saw as a kid was Naruto, DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, Zoids, and Beyblade Metal Fusion |
| If I did my anime watching time would double as I watched basically all the Pokemon stuff. |
 |
| No, because I dont think I finished any of them. I dont count shows I saw before 2012 when I made this account. Aside from the more recent ones I added at the time. |
| Lol yeah, of course. When I was a kid, I managed to watch the first 4 seasons of Sailor Moon with my sister. We couldn't watch the fifth/last season because it wasn't dubbed at the time (thank goodness Viz has finally brought Sailor Stars to America, at long last... now people don't have to miss out on it!) and we weren't used to subtitles yet unless if we were watching Bollywood movies. I did the same with manga; Cardcaptor Sakura was not just the first manga series I finished in its entirety, but also the very first manga I had ever read. I just try to have everything I've seen in my lists so that people know what I've seen before they recommend me something and that I don't forget. I'm a very forgetful person. |
 |
| Yes, but I didn't start watching anime until I was an older kid, so it's easier to remember. Plus I currently like to rewatch a lot of my favs from back then. Sailor Moon is still worth it! I still sometimes remember something I saw and forgot about and will add it. Like something I saw when SciFi channel used to air anime movies during a block or something I rented on VHS. Memories! |

| No. I don't add shows that I watch as a kid in my list. |
 |
| I do because I remember a good chunk of the titles I watched growing up as a kid and well into my teenage years and the fact that I did watch them beginning to end. (It helped that Adult Swim liked to reair series to death sometimes, like Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Big O, etc.) |

| Only those I have watched again, as an adult. That's why Digimon, Pokemon, Beyblade, Bakugan and most of the Ghibli movies are not on my list. |
| No, I don't. Most of the anime I watched as a kid are not really that good. |
| My youtube channel about music and anime : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_rrNoYApg1VQ-PIT7jZ37Q |
| No. I only add anime I've seen in recent years (uh, the last 13 years or so). That includes anime I watched as a child and then rewatched as an adult but doesn't include all the stuff I watched on tv as a child and never rewatched as an adult. (Who knows what I would think about those shows now! My taste certainly changed.) |
| ♥️ |
| Pokemon and Dragon Ball was huge in sweden when I was a kid. It got streamed on a lot of TV-Channels, but it's hard to follow houndreds of houndreds ep's when you are just a kid. And even when I started to understand what anime is i haven't added in shows to my list that I watched before I created my MaL account. So everything I have completed thus far is since I created my account here. |
 |
| Yes, but not until I've actually watched/re-watched it properly. There are plenty of shows I remember watching as a kid, but I most likely didn't watch them from start to finish, or even in sequential order. It would be too messy if I just added a bunch of shows I can't even be certain that I actually watched all of. So instead I'll add them to my PTW so I can sort of watch them for the first time as anime (instead of as childhood cartoons). That way I can actually be sure that I watched everything and in the right order. I may or may not leave the start and finish dates empty, though. |
| No because I can't even remember exactly which episodes I've seen or of I even completed it or not Looking at the responses it makes sense why series like dbz and pokemon have that little users |
 |
| i do, at least if i know i watched more than like 80% of the episodes , but more often than not i already forgot everything LOL i mean even recent shows (that i enjoy) get deleted from my memories until i rewatch the opening or a "best moments" video |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Depends on if I remember seeing it all or not. I've added anime movies I saw as a kid, TV shows no. |
 |
| Yes, kiddo me watched a good amount of anime. |
