Add total times rewatched column to list

I think it would be a good idea to allow users to add a column to their list that shows how many times they've rewatched an anime.
We already have the feature to select the number of times rewatched, but currently, nobody can see that except you.

Actually, anyone can see how many times you've re-watched a series by clicking "more" on the anime's listing (so long as your list is public of course). Among other things, it says how many times you've re-watched that particular anime. That said I'm not against the notion to have that info displayed from the get-go.

A rewatched column would be very nice. Much better than having to click through every single show.

I agree that it would be useful. You can technically make the column by exporting to excel, but that takes more effort than you should need to see which anime you rewatched the most (or at all).

This is an old suggestion but i wanted to make it alive again and no moderator has replied to this..

I believe it would be nice if there was an extra column option to show how many times you have rewatched a series (just like there can be optional columns of showing the studio, start/end date and etc). Then people can discover anime you have basically loved the most to rewatch (if you want of course).

No one is not that interested in you to press "more" on every anime, yet it would be nice if it was visible by option and therefore you could even sort the list by clicking on the column title (like it's already possible for Score and etc)
It should not be hard to implement, since it's just showing a number from a field and sorting would be same as the score sorting.

Are we ever gonna have a formal list of rewatches?

Because NOBODY takes the time to click the "more" button in EVERY single title of your list, one by one, just to figure out what those rewatched shows are.

Exactly!
I'm still bumping this but seems like the request has been ignored for ages :(

Basically all the mods should do is just show a number from a Rewatched field and use same sorting as the score sorting.
I bet it could be done in like 30 mins..

cmon mods, it could be a nice feature.

It ain't about the mods tho...

but it would be nice if instead of a column, we had a section on our list for Rewatched anime, as we have for Dropped.

Not a column but a section would be great.

Now the thing is if the suggestion is going to be taken into consideration, which I doubt it.

I'm actually planning to rewatch alot of series in the near future and I think this feature would be very useful. I'd like to see it implemented!

This is the only feature from AniList I really like. Would really like it to be implemented. I rewatch a lot.

yeah, this would be a really nice feature.
i tend to rewatch my favorites quite often, especially with friends who haven't seen it.

It would be also fair to increase the number of days and episode count on the list with every rewatch or re-read. Currently there is no change.

Except it already does? I had 114.9 days last night, put my DBZ's number of time rewatched to 5 to test it out, and when I woke up, I ended up with 139.1 days.

Iirc, rewatched time is only added once you're done rewatching the whole thing, not while you're rewatching it. Episode count probably works the same way.

Don't remember if you also temporarily lose the time of the completed entry you're rewatching while it's on rewatch status, nor if MAL adds time watched as you watch episode of the rewatched entry again though. Those are pretty easy to test out, but I don't feel like doing it rn, I'll notice next time I rewatch something anyway.

Also, idk how long the actual delay is(quite short, may be simply queuing requests), but keep in mind that MAL doesn't update the days spent right after adding a new entry/adding total rewatch count to your list.


I did a test adding a 100+ episode series 9 times on rewatch list. While MAL added the number 9 to the anime list, time and episode count remained unchanged. Probably have to wait more.

Had a list from another site with rewatch numbers, problem is you had to look every title individually to see it. It would be impossible and very time consuming to transfer it here, since I hardly remember the rewatched times for each series. Better to add rewatch numbers to a random big series to equal the days spent.

Completed rewatches ("Total Times Re-watched Series" number) does work.
The wonky part is "Re-watching" checkbox: it removes anime from Completed list (lowering numer of days/episodes in profile) and moves it to Watching. You get all those back + their multiplier after you uncheck that box and add number in times re-watched.
I wrote about it in my suggestion here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1545016

Anyway, yeah, I really support this idea. Atm I'm using tags column to have rewatches visible, but it's rather unreliable and annoying to use.

I tested the re-reading option to see if it works in manga as well and extra volumes and chapters were not added this time. Does it work in manga as in anime?

Yes, I agree with this idea. No one is going to click through all the animes I've watched to see which ones I've rewatched before. It's much easier if the public can just click "rewatch" and it shows all the ones I rewatched before

This. Especially if you have a pretty big list.
A while back I created a little online tool which allows you to get a list of all your rewatched titles from a list export. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1838338 https://www.malrewatched.ovh

It takes a few moments but is pretty simple to use and if you want you can create a blog page on MAL with your rewatched titles.

I have had just this exact idea.
Since the re-watching option has never worked for me.
I have to edit and set the total re-watch count myself.
But i don't have a way to see what have i rewatched so far.

Please make this happen.
It would be a lot of help for people with a bit longer lists.

Replying three years later. Since the number of rewatches/rereads for each series is already being saved on the lists (but is not visible right away), it shouldn't be too hard to add a new optional column to display it. Especially since there are columns for far more niche properties already available (like "Storage").

after 3 years the only option is still the script I made.
