| Watching - Currently Watching Completed - Have finished watching/reading On-Hold - Stopped for reasons Plan to Watch Dropped - Skipped/Dropped due reasons,but should it be marked included as "Not interested"? Dropped might sound harsh for people who not interested before actually watching it a single episodes/trailer. |
| There's this magical thing MAL allows us to do which is add tags to anime. You can categorize your drop list into "hated", "not interested", "fell behind", ect. so that everyone knows why you stopped watching. |

I'm on the ninth episode of an anime right now and I'm just not interested. It's not that I Dropped it because I hate it, just not my thing. A "Not Interested" Would be a really good idea to show that you like gave it a try but it's just not for you If you drop it, it's dropped, is it not? Whether you drop it because you find it boring, whether you find it bad, or for any other reason. If you want to leave a note regarding the reason why you dropped it, you could for example place a tag like "not amusing" or "bad" or anything at the tags column. OP, not exactly understood if it would be just a "won't watch" or an alternite of "dropped" but if dropped, I think it is dropped. The only real use of something like "not interested" I would see in suggestions, I think, e.g. to not show shows at suggestions one already told not interested watching, but I guess that's actually something else than what you mentioned?

| I'm thinking of using the "Dropped" for Not Interested because Not Interested doesn't exist. It should though. There is a bit of a difference and if the reason from the site is that people don't need to know what you're not interested in then simply program it so you don't show anyone, make it a private checkmark or something. The reason I want a Not Interested button is because I research a ton of anime and if I've already read the reviews and determined one isn't something I want to watch I want to mark it somewhere so I don't go through the process again. |
modboy said: You can keep it in a blog. MAL doesn't like deliberately adding negative things like that. It's not at all difficult to program, but it's a banned suggestion for other reasons. Making parts of lists private (eg. hentai) is fairly difficult to program, though, which is why it would be easiest just to keep them in your blog or mark them as dropped if you want an option that will show up as being an anime you already know about but don't want to see.I'm thinking of using the "Dropped" for Not Interested because Not Interested doesn't exist.

| Actually, sometimes I use my dropped list for shows that I'm still interested in, but for whatever reason ended up putting them on hold for too long. Basically, my rule of thumb is... when a show has been on my "oh hold" list for so long that I'd be better off just re-starting it from the beginning, I move it to my "dropped" list, to perhaps be picked back up one day. Or I just drop something because it's trash... one of the two... In any case, while changing the name of "dropped" isn't a great idea... I would definitely like a "not interested" filter, personally... Even if it didn't surface to the public, but just for my personal use. I would like to be able to not only filter out specific shows, but also that show's sequels, as well as specific genres, studios, creators, etc... this would allow me to give myself a list which has been automatically curated for my own personal tastes without adding any kind of public negativity on the site. |

| You can always use the tags option to briefly specify the reason why you did not keep watching a show and you don't have the intention to ever resume it. Problem solved. |
| cool idea, but i would just use the tags like a few people have been saying. |
