Do you add anime you've seen as a kid to your list?

Any anime you've seen from your childhood but literally forgot everything about it until you found it while browsing around in MAL?

I only add those that I can remember, and I rate them based on how much I liked or disliked them at the time, so some of my older ratings may not be "accurate". For instance, I remember Project A-Ko being pretty entertaining in the 90s, but I'm not sure if I'd like it as much today.

I've only added all the Pokemon stuff I watched as a kid, such as the specials and movies because I remember watching those. I definitely didn't watch all the Pokemon episodes from the main series as a kid though, so I only add the episodes I've (re)watched in more recent times.

Same goes for Digimon, Sonic x, Moomin, Dragon Ball and DBZ as well. I watched all of them as kids, but I can't remember if I ever watched all the episodes.

I added the first Pokémon and Digimon seasons, as I know I watched them all. I won't add Zoids: New Century as I know I didn't finish (and don't know where I left off)

Of course you get some series like Cardcaptor Sakura, that was heavily edited and episodes re-arranged when it was put on the American televisions. Not sure if you can even add that show, if you only saw the dubbed.

No , because I cannot remember almost anything about them.

I am not a stats whore that needs to show off my list to compensate for something.

One day I made the choice to start adding anime to a list , and I only added everything after I had watched that I still remembered well enough to tell it over with good accuracy. (Which was essentially everything within the last 2 years I had watched at that time).

No, because I can't be 100% sure that I watched all of it.

I was pretty sure I'd seen all of the original Pokemon, but it wasn't until I re-watched all of it (the first 276 episodes) that I realized I remembered every single episode and therefore added it to my list with one re-watch. On the flip side when I re-watched Digimon there were a number of episodes I didn't remember. So when I added it to my list, I just added it as is with no re-watches.

I know that I watched Spirited Away three times as a kid. I watched some of Hamtaro and I put it as "dropped at 15 episodes" because that's my estimate for how many episodes I watched. I also guessed at when I watched it which is why my average is only 9 minutes per day.

I do it, but I feel bad for putting them on my list.

I've seen enough of Pokemon to put it on my list, even though in reality I've missed a few episodes now and then. It would be weird to just have the movies but not the series on there.

I don't put everything on my list from a child though, things I watched a few episodes of but didn't fully commit to watching regularly (ex: Shaman King, Duel Masters, Yu Yu Hakusho) I don't put on the list.

Yes. Even if I'm not 100% sure of how many episodes I have seen I'll just come up with a realistic estimation of how many I might've watched. Who would care about an error margin of +-few episodes here and there anyways? MAL isn't that serious business.

i just put those in my plan to watch if i remember them. or something like the pokemon movie i'll add it because even though i forgot how the movie went down or how it ended i still remember watching in theatres and it's easier to remember than a 12 plus episode anime where you could of missed an episode or two.

For most of it no.

Because I don't remember the plot very well. I don't remember where I was in the serie either. I have to rewatch it if I want to add this to my list.

If I've seen a lot of episodes of it (and if I remember them), sure.

But mostly no since I used to rarely watch cartoons...as a kid.

Of course i added them, to be honest i remember most of those better than the anime that i watched a year or 2 ago because i essentially saw each of them like 2-3 times due to after school reruns.

I can recall quite a bit about zoids, DBZ, Gundam Wing, FMA, Trigun, Big O, and Outlaw Star. All of those were watched before 2006. Anime from 2012 that i probably watched in 2013 like guilty crown, Zero no Tsukaima F, Dog Days', and Mysterious Girlfriend X I can honestly remember far less of. As i watch more anime all the newer stuff that doesn't make a strong impression really starts to blur together and becomes rather indistinguishable from each other after about 3 years.

Anything before Dragon Ball Z, no. Before that I had no idea what anime was, I don't remember how many episodes I watched of those series and I can't properly rate it as I was too young when I watched it.
