Do people actually put the date of when they started an anime and finished an anime?

I do this because I like to have the option to know when I saw something and how long it took to finish it. Probably not something I'll pay a lot of attention to for most of them but I do for some and it's nice to have just in case.

I do put it in bc I always would love to know how long it took me and when I watched it. Sadly ,I cant do that from before I started doing it.

The MAL app does it automatically lol

I'm looking for recommendations, always. Please message me if you have any really good (maybe relatively unknown) anime for me!

If it did by default then that'd be great but nah. Adding stuff and updating it is plenty enough. I don't have to go the extra mile trying to record when exactly did I finish a show. If the show was any good it's gonna stay in my mind for a while. If not then it's probably gonna get forgotten.

Would be nice if MAL did it for you but unfortunately it can't. For me it's pointless. Like who would look at it?

I do add the date in manga cause the way MAL calculates the time for reading is so inaccurate, I often look at it to see how long I've actually been reading it.

I know may people don't do it I do because it is good for future reference plus it also allows me to see hiw fast I was bake to complete an anime and it isn't that big a hassle beacuse there exists a button called - 'ibsert today' , there are some animes if which I don't know the exact date I started and ended watching it because I watched them before joining MAL

I do it all the time. I like it for my own personal reference. It's fun to look back and see how fast or how long it took to complete an anime. Also if I want to rewatch an anime, I know when the last time I watched it was (I also type rewatched dates in the comments section of that anime). Before I found MAL, I would just write down my anime in a notebook but never put the dates. I regret that now. So all the anime I watched before MAL don't have dates. :( I don't even know for sure when I started watching anime...
