About 200 iirc. I started watching a lot of anime in the 2010s. Before that I barely had 50 completed anime.

For anime series, I had completed 8 series (10 series if Bakuman 1, 2 and 3 are separated). For anime movies, I had completed 20 movies. So it'd be a total of about 28 anime completed when I decided to join MAL.

Several hundreds at least. And I was not good at keeping notes so I'm absolutely certain I've missed quite a few that I still need to add to my list. I should have been smart like most of the people here and started when it as less than 100. T_T

The difference between master and apprentice is that the master has failed more times than the apprentice has tried.

Given my join date is technically 2010, I guess less than 20. I started watching anime actively on 2008 and I'm pretty sure I didn't watch different anime on that time because what I did is purely re-watching.

About 100. I was getting really hard to keep track of all of them. It was also necessary to recommend anime to my friends

I’m sure it was 100+ for me, and I too made notepads and the sort to note them all down.

I had my list on Notepad and had 33 completed shows to be exact.

I was already aware of MAL when I started watching again in 2013, but never bothered joining until almost 2 years later. Could've did much earlier upon realizing how convenient this site is, because I almost my list when my PC broke. Better late than never xD

I guess after 2 years of watching, I had roughly watched around 200-220 entries before deciding to get it over with and register. I was listing them before in Notepad. I still even do until now, for habit's sake.

I wasn't too big on anime when I first started watching, which was sometime in 2016, then early 2017 I started enjoying it more. I ended up having only 20 completed when I joined though.

Literally just one, lol. Kenkou Zenrakei Suieibu Umishou. Muh very first.

Decided I'd explore a bit further since I was super into it and I was aware of this site's existence through people from other sites I had used prior, so why not.

I also remember how I felt when viewing Umishou's database entry for the first time and thinking "holy shit how can such a wonderful show have such a low score" "holy shit how can this reviewer give it a 3/10"

Ahhhh I feel kind of goofy thinking about that lol, I don't know why I got so mad at it having a "low" score but it legit caused my blood pressure to rise. It feels really funny and stupid in hindsight ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can'r count it. Even till now, I haven't finished updating my list yet.
Maybe around 700-800 if I counted short animations and movies.
I still have most of them in my hard disk though

I had around 100. Used another site before that, but before I joined that site I was around 30 or so I would guess.

I'm not exactly sure but around 60-150?
I joined MAL 9 months after I started watching my first anime, but other than that, I don't have any more precise answer.

138 back in November 2016. Not that much when you consider that I've already watched for many years.

That would be 57 entries in total. Ghiblies for the most part.

Quite a lot. Easily 50+. I remember I had a notepad on my comp for the longest time of everything I had watched. But ended up losing it when switching comps which made me eventually make a list on here.

I believe I was at like 24~ anime and I was forgetting which ones I had watch so I made a notepad with them. Then, was like wait a fucking min isn't there a site for this and just transferred them over here to MAL yeah.


I was 24, and had never watched any anime before, not even as a kid. But I had gone back to school studying computer tech, and my instructor (who was only about 10 years older than me) kept encouraging me to try it out, so he introduced me to MAL, had me create an account, and walked me through adding some of the main/most 'essential' series to the list to get me started.

Now, about 19 months later, as you can see from my profile, it instantly became an obsession/addiction and I love and watch/read anime & manga every single day in copious amounts.

I actually calculated it up, and since that day - January 17th, 2017, appx 22% of all my time has been spent watching anime or reading manga. :)

Mm, less than 5 that's for sure. I started to join near when I got into anime so that I could keep track of what I've watched so far.

I only found out about MAL in 2012, by accident. By then I've finished about 200-ish series.
