How did you keep track of the shows you watched before you found this site?

Since I use a phone (and have been for the past 2 years), I typed down the anime name and the episode I have to watch next.

To be honest, I really didn't. When I made an account here I went solely off of memory and after logging everything I could think of I went through the history and series list on the crunchyroll app to get any I missed. I used to watch most of my anime on crunchyroll so I don't think I left anything out which is pretty amazing considering that I was a fan for 2 years before making my account here.

I never did kept tracked but I've always wanted too.
I even thought it would be cute to get a quilt and add patches of every anime I have ever watched.

For the series i used folder naming as sign. Like this:

K-ON [c]
K-On!! [w]

c is for completed, and w is for watching. Other than that, i haven't watched it yet.

For the episode number, i used memory.

I just started about a year ago so I used to have a note list on my computer so I wouldn't forget.

I didn't keep track of the episodes, I just remembered them, but I put the anime I've watched in "Notes" on my IPod.

I download every anime I watch so it wasn't that hard to keep track. After a while I started listing them in a notepad file and later moved on to excel. I still update the excel file simultaneously with my MAL list.

I never kept track of the anime I've watched before MAL, so when I had to create my list I looked through years of my internet history to see what I'd watched. Also put down some stuff from memory. :)

I just straight up used the sticky notes feature on windows. But only for the shows I was currently watching. Once I finished something, it would be completely forgotten. Which is a reason I like mal, it let's me remember things on a nice little list

I used to write everything down on a piece of paper. It eventually became a mess, because I was watching multiple anime shows at once. I'm so glad I found this site.

I didn't because i didn't really saw the point back then. I think the main reason why i started to use MAL was that i didn't want to rely on my memory if someone happened to ask recommendations or if i needed to check what i seen to make a favorite list.

I don't forget what i have seen but it's handy to have list as reminder.

I had a physical notebook called 'Things I particularly enjoyed' (by me). It had it's limitations, because I didn't record anything I didn't like. When the notebook was full I moved to Notepad. I was aware of MAL but I resisted for ages. Not sure why.

In my case I don't think I really watched all that much before. It's like only after I got the access to internet I found this site and carried on from that.
I'm pretty sure I still have some series I didn't add from way back in the day.

I used the sweat and cum stains on my dakimakura as tallies.
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou
