| Hello! My suggestion is that we should be able to add the status 'completed' without every episode from an anime or chapter form a manga. The main reason M'm using MAL instead of a notepad or excel is so that I can see the total days and episodes -tho this is easy with excell too-. Lets say there is naruto, which is 40% fillers, and i don't want to watch them. It would really really bother me to have the full episodes of naruto on my list, if I didn't watch 40% of it. Same goes for deducing the amount of episodes I didn't watch, but having the anime as a 'watching' or etc. status. Adding it as a tag that I didn't watch x, y episodes won't work either since the episodes would still add on my list. OR starting a manga/anime, after watching/reading its counterpart, and the user doesn't wants to start from the beginning. Now for what could go wrong/amount of work? I doubt it would be much work since the only thing which needs to be done is allowing users to have an anime/manga completed without the maximum amount of chapters/episodes. Please consider this, would make the site better. Regards. |
| Yeah, just add it. You don't need to be so honest/humble not like anybody bats an eye. |
| You can change the chapters number after selecting completed (selecting completed will change the chapter number, but you can change it afterwards) |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |

It's not about being honest, but it bothers me that my stats are wrong, and thats the reason i'm using this site. @Eucli @MortalMelancholy Thank you, it works, didn't think about that:O Maybe because so far I only needed the feature with anime/manga I didn't finish yet. But I can just change it when its completed so that's fine. Thanks for the aswers :) EDIT: After experimenting a bit, when I do what you said, It counts the amount of episodes I saw on the total episode list, however if I go on my list it still shows the full number of episodes for the anime. E.g I put in 150 episodes for naruto, it showed 220, BUT it was behind KHR on the list which is 203 episodes. This little bug should be fixed, that it shows the full number, then it would be perfect. |

| Just add to completed and pretend that you acutally watched every episode. |

| Haters always gonna hate. |
| @Rayzer What's not accurate? I believe it can add the number of episodes, and multiple them by the length to get the day. |
SkullProX said: What's not accurate? I believe it can add the number of episodes, and multiple them by the length to get the day. Let's say an episode was 24 minutes long. But you don't really watch it for 24 minutes since you pause or skip. Well, Unless you are watching on a TV broadcast. |

Well, usually I don't pause it, but even if I pause it, I do something ELSE in that time, and the time i spend on anime is really only 24 minutes. Even if i go eat in a middle of an episode, that time is not spent on anime, so it is accurate.. |

So you've watched the opening and ending of every episode of anime you've ever seen without skipping at least once? |
| @SkullProX, You sure? Man you are amazing. You understand whatever you are watching instantly huh? Because It usually take 30 minutes for me to watch a 24 minutes long episode. It's because I read the subtitle, whenever the dialog was short or fast and the subtitle was long.

Yes, for you, but this site is not just for you. It should be a suggestion that many users would benefit on it. |

Recuvan said: Calculate how many episodes of something you've seen and set the number of episodes watched as this value, then simply set it as completed. MAL stats will still count this entry as completed and the number of episodes seen will still contribute to the total number of episodes watched. As far as I'm aware, the MALGraph may have some problems with calculating the average time spent on watching a specific genre if something of this kind occurs, but there really isn't a lot we can do about it here. I tried it out, but even tho it ranked the series at the correct place if i put my list in order of episodes, and it added the correct value, it still showed the full amount of episodes on the list. Thats the only problem :/ |
Rayzer said: Yes, for you, but this site is not just for you. It should be a suggestion that many users would benefit on it. I don't know how does this suggestion harm anyone in the community, and I think most of the people watch the openings/endings-.- But you go really offtopic, so please stop. |
| @Recuvan I know, but that's the thing which bothers me. I don't know if it's a bug, or it's intended. Would be nice if a team member would comment. And I also don't know if I export my list, will the number of episodes saw, or the full amount be shown on the file? Btw just so everyone knows what we are talking about: http://imgur.com/QlXeosw I set the amount of ep for naruto for 150, and It is between the 175 ep FT and the 112 ep yu yu hakusho, but it shows 220ep. |

Yeah you think? There's a lot of suggestion that got many users who agreed they want it, but it was still not been implemented. And now you are suggesting something just for your own satisfaction? Yeah, maybe there's a few people like you. But it needs to be useful to many users here. So don't make your hopes up. |

| I didnt watch 4 of the endless eight episodes so I only entered 10/14 It says youve completed 10 like you said but mal and malgraph still acknowledge that you didnt watch every episode and [Im pretty sure] that it doesnt count towards your total daycount |
