| Moved from the Creative Corner Board. O/T: I get to the point where I only remember the best moments, or the ending. Otherwise I can't really remember specific moments unless I jog my memory with a video or even a picture. |
|
| That depends how memorable the show is for me. Death Note, Jojo and Kaiji are examples that I remember most of the moments. And even lower scored ones, it just depends for me. Then, for others I need to see some scenes again. And as you can see my the amount I have watched, I'm bound to forget. |

| Why are you acting like this type of thing pertains to just anime... Everything that requires memory uses one of these types. |

Then, for others I need to see some scenes again. And as you can see my the amount I have watched, I'm bound to forget. Same. I noticed I even remember lines of some I really liked and thought were memorable. [noticed when rewatching with friends] I think it depends on how focused the show makes me. Other series I barely remember, sometimes even only the interaction of certain characters.. If it is generally rather light-hearted I suppose |
| hey, i even forget some fanservice scenes lol well, not so much now that i gif them XD |

| Depends on the series, like how long ago I watched it, if it was memorable for being good/bad or just so average its forgettable. But generally I would put myself as the first brain, sometimes the second. |

| I dont know if this fully answers your question. But once ive watched an Anime i struggle to rewatch it again. No matter how good. I watch anime to want to find out what happens next, so even a good anime like Death Note i struggle to go back and watch it because i know whats going to happen because i remember. I do go back to watch moments but can never re watch an anime which kinda sucks |
 |
| Honestly, I feel like I might be both |
| Likely most people would fall into both, with most shows being stored in memory as category 1, but with the shows they love in category 2. It's not quite possible to remember every anime you've watched in great detail, unless your memory is distinctly good or you've watched a handful of anime. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I have terrible short term memory and a good deal above average long term memory so I guess type 2 |
| I mostly forget. That's why, while watching, I try to think how I'm feeling while watching the series. So after some time when I look at the name, those feeling come back and so does the memory of the anime. P.S: I have a friend who only watches a few series but he tends to remember even the little things about those. I tell you, it can get pretty annoying when he talks about something that I saw a year ago and expects me to remember how or what happened. |

| First one, I guess. I don't particularly retain every single detail. I do remember most of the key stuff that matters though for when I go into the next episode. Sometimes I need a little trigger to refresh my memory though. Definitely don't remember alot of details though afterwards, long term. I remember to a degree, even better though if it was a anime that stood out or was a particular favorite of mine. At least, I remember longer anyway, lol. I still forget after awhile. Like looking at my favorites, I still have some recollection of them all except for Rurouni Kenshin. Been too long for me to remember. Only thing I remember is that I loved it. I was watching several episodes at a time (which wasn't usual for me) because I was so into it. I also remember that I watched it on Crackle... I only saw a handful of stuff on there. Blue Exorcist, Final Fantasy Movie (Forgot which), Rurouni Kenshin. Can't remember any others. That was all probably like 2011-2012. |

| The latter, since i'm a genius. I can even recite all the characters in Mayoiga by name. To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mayoiga. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of anime tropes most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Hayato’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Mayoiga truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in the bus tour's favourite song “The Unlucky Hippopotamus,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Mari Okada’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. π And yes, by the way, i DO have a Nyanta tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid π |

| depends on the anime some i remember completely others i remember parts and others i forget all but the title and how attached/distant i am to the series. |
 |
| I personally don't think those are mutually exclusive and at least in my case are almost entirely dependent on how much I enjoyed (or conversely hated) a series. Like for every show I watch I can remember major events and if it's a show I greatly enjoyed (like one in my favorites) I can pretty much remember every significant moment and arc in the series to the point that my absolute favorite series I can remember context going back years. While series I absolutely hated in some cases I can pinpoint the exact moment where the series shot itself in the foot (assuming the whole thing wasn't trash from start to finish). But in other aspects for average series I'm often in the first category I remember major plot points and a basic summary of the series but I don't remember many specifics without the context of the show. |
| Probably the second one, I've watched Baccano so many times I can quote all of Claire Stanfield's lines off by heart. |
