Do you forget the plot of most anime shows you have watched years ago and didn't rate high?

I've been watching over 500 shows in a span of a decade and sometimes I take a look at older shows I've finished years ago and realise I genuinelly can't remember the plot nor the characters of most anime I gave a lower score. Usually, it's shows I gave a score of 4-7/10, funnily enough I can still remember shows I scored 1-3/10 because they were so bad they left a bigger impression. I also still remember shows very well including characters and even the OST which I rated 8 or higher because I obviously got more invested in those.
I was wondering if it's just me who forgets so easily about anime shows which are "insignificant" to me.

I remember the basic plot of everything I watched regardless of the score I gave it. I'll often forget the entire show itself, but if I ever stumble across it again I'll usually remember what it was about. Specific plot details are another story

I'm not at the point where I'm completely forgetting about anime I've seen but I think Henneko is probably going to be the first one that leaves me since that's the only anime that I struggle to remember much about.

I remember the basics of it but I might not remember the entire ploy. Usually not by the shows name but if I read the description again I generally remember everything fairly well.

my memory is the worst thing to be identified on this planet. sometimes i forget the plot, the characters, the only thing i remember is what the animation looked like. or important places they went to throughout the story.

I have 0 idea what K is about, all i remember is that rain scene and the cat girl but I have no idea what she was for, or what that rain scene is for.

but i do remember what i felt when watching every show, so if i didnt feel like i had a strong connection to it i dont rate it high, same with vice versa.

Anything I expect to forget, I don't even bother adding to my list. It's very rare for me to feel this way after completing a full-length series. Going over my lower rated anime, I realize I've completely forgotten Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal. And all I remember about Ghost in the Shell is that is was a pretentious movie with a single great scene.

I have AWFUL memory lol. I already struggle remembering people's names irl let alone a whole cast of characters along with the anime's plot. If I see a picture from a show I've seen, I can probably remember one or two moments from it lolol.

I usually give shows like that a 5-7 afterwards because if it wasn't all that memorable to me, it's just an average/fine show, which is why my average score is so dang low! I can't remember shit for the life of me lmao

I forget the plot of everything I watched last week, which is why I take notes and write reviews. Then I read my own review to refresh.

I tend to forget the plot, characters and other details of a lot of one-and-done shows, whether I like them or not. Maybe it's because I watch a lot of shows, so it's easy to forget things.
