Dear Overlord Xinil,

Please give us the ability to view which anime/manga we/others have re-watched/re-read easily.

On the profile page under anime, for example, there is the "rewatched" entry. Turning that into a link that goes to a page that shows what anime the user has re-watched would be a nice feature to some. At the moment, I have apparently re-watched 15 anime. I know some of the anime I've re-watched, but not all of them. I don't remember all of the anime I have set to rewatched. Right now, I would have to go through literally every entry on my list and find which ones I have set as rewatched.

If there is a already way to find out already what has been re-watched/re-read then this thread is useless, but I'm not aware of this function.

I support this suggestion.

I think it's a great idea and I don't really see any downsides to it.

There is a relatively simple way to find your rewatches: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1467014
But of course having a function for that on the site would be even better.

Thanks for the tip. But yes, it should be built into the site.

Good idea +1

I think there should also be a better way of distinguishing when you have finished a rewatch, rather than treating it like you just completed it for the first time in list updates.

Something like, (insert name) has finished rewatching (insert anime) for the Xth time!

I don't really like this idea, however, a rewatched/reread value column would be a nice implementation to the anime/manga lists.

a whole new column for something like this is not a good idea. besides, there's already a more button. i understand it's a hassle to click more for every anime but it's easier to rather make a link which automatically has animes which we've rewatched.

Tbh, if the button is obscure and the link isn't blue and underlined, I'm fine with that. I'm just scared of what design tweaks MAL's staff may come up with...

well i don't think we re watch ALL the animes in our list so it'd be quite pointless to add a column to it in lists. well it's not that bad an idea but if in case it was implemented, i probably wouldn't use it.

You can always disable unneeded columns in settings.

I think having the reread/rewatched counters are pointless without the ability to see what series were reread/rewatched. I would love to see a list of all the series I've reread/rewatched and the amount of times. This would have helped me with my yearly rewatch/reread inclinations. (I tend to reread/rewatch the same list of series, and it would be nice to actually have a list instead of trying to remember)

lol...it is bro. Just go go an anime/manga on your list, click edit, and it will say something about re-watched/re-read, type the amounts of time you done so....lol.
You can also mark your progress when you re-read/re-watch stuff...lel.


I'm sure you've misread this thread, OP wants a specific tab/option that lists all the anime they've rewatched, that's view able to themselves and everyone else. Most people forgot what they've rewatched, and trying to figure that out with hundreds of anime on someones list can be quite annoying.

+1 to this entire thread though, I'm not quite sure why this hasn't been done yet

YOU ARE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE

I +1 this thread though. A lot of users re-watch/re-read anime/manga so it's only fair that the time they spent should be logged yet again.

Bruh, I've watched nearly 300 anime and only re-watched 14. I can only remember, like, 4 shows that I have set to re-watched. I would have to go through LITERALLY every series on my list until I find the ones that I have set to re-watched. Setting an anime to re-watched also affects the "days" counter on your profile and for a super nerd like me, that matters a lot.

I'll try and edit my OP to make it a little clearer.

Yeah, this would have been great a long time when I searched my entire list to find what I re-watched.
Of course I support this too, but if this isn't going to be implemented just do as a I did, keep track of it on your profile.

We should also be able to look at a MAL page stats bar and see how many times it has been rewatched in total.

I don't know how useful this will actually be.

I fully support the addition of new features for MAL but sometimes I think that they are unnecessary.

It's unlikely that someone will have watched so much anime and have re-watched enough to dedicate an entire list to it.

Personally, I have re-watched a fair amount of anime. However, I don't really care either.

I'm indifferent to its addition but I am no hardcore supporter of this.

It shouldn't be that hard as they already keep track of the number of times rewatched/anime.
I'm all for it's implementation, as my rewatched anime will only grow bigger over time, but whether MAL thinks this is worth the effort or not(they should know how often the rewatch feature is really used) is another story.


To keep it nice and clean, just make the "Rewatched" label on the profile a link(the same as watching,completed,plan to watch...), and display it the same way you currently display shared anime with another user, but instead of the score you display the name of the anime followed by it's number of times rewatched.
An additional column on the list is possible, but I'd consider it to be visual clutter(yes ik it'd be an opt-in checkbox in settings).

Definitely! I think on another anime website, anime planet or something, they have that feature. I tried anime planet for a day or two and it's a good idea

And since you can put in, how many times you rewatched some anime, it would be great if you could order your rewatched list by most rewatches.
