Do you insert OVAs or recap movies into your list?

I realize that some users already watched 1000++ anime and I felt left behind. But then I realize they insert even OVAs and recaps into their list, that's why they achieved until thousands of anime. So, are you the same?

I add the OVAs of the series if I manage to find a subtitled version. I rarely add recap movies, with exception (like the ones of Madoka).

You can do what you want with your list but if you have 1k completions but under a certain amount of days, its a weak 1k.

If I watched it then I'll add it of course. I usually like to watch OVAs and specials from series I enjoyed so I keep track of them. I also often watch recap movies, so I add them as well. I don't add recap movies I haven't seen (I know some people do so).

If I watch yeah I'll add it, but I usually don't watch recaps unless it's been quite some time since I watched the tv series.

I don't watch recap, I do watch OVA, ONA, and Special, I don't have any problem with them on my list, it's not like you will get any medal if you only put tv series on your list.

A completionist has to watch everything related with an anime, even boring recaps.

I include everything but I give recaps the same score as the related series to make things easier.

Why would I not add what I've watched to my list?

Yeah, I watch almost all of the OVAs (actually I think the only one I have not watched of all my completed series is the Hetalia Paint It White movie), but not the recaps.

Rec(r)aps can suck it, unless it's episode 16 of Gurren Lagann. Even still, if I see them, I document their suckage.

OVAs are also included on the list. OVA extra episodes for shows can be pretty bad. Even some original OVAs can suck (looking at you, Under the Dog), but then, we have Carnival Phantasm, which is gold. Plus, I've heard Legend of the Galactic Heroes is GOAT and that was an OVA.

No. But there is a high chance that I have watched the specials.

There are lots of great OVA series; they're not all an extra side story or two that came with the BDs.

Anyway, I do add recap episodes and such to my list if I watched them.

If you want to "compete"with others, feel free to add also OVAs and recaps to your list. That said, even if you gain over 1000 entries this way,your days or episodes count won't match with it.

And to answer the question, yes I add them to my list.

I skip recaps since they're mostly useless(exception Madoka , shittu stuff happens). Some people watch the recaps when the series they like was split cour.

I would watch OVAs, but still reluctantly to unless the series would really push me. Movies are exception, I'd watch movies since I think it is great, some movies I would fucking really watch would be Detective Conan.
