It should be possible to say if you have re-watched a anime and how many times you have watched it. Because many people watch their favorite anime 4 - 5 times. I see you have a Re-watching button where you also can choose how many episodes you have seen. But that only gives you the ability to say you have watched it a second time. I would like to see a place where you could say how many times you have watched it as well. And also on currently airing anime. If you could say you have watched for example "One Piece" two times that would be great.

You can use the tags section for that. I don't really see the need to have a separate section for that

Go to your animelist, as you can see, the column that is under tags can be edited. So you can put something like, "Rewatched x times"

Ok, I get it. Thx.
But then it won't get added to your stats, which is kind of what I wanted. But I guess it works :)

MAL has had a rewatch feature for as long as I can remember but a lot of people refuse to use it because they feel like it's cheating to get more time watched from a second watch or just can't be bothered to add their rewatches in.

MAL's way of calculating rewatch time is weird. It does it as (number of times started watching anime) x (number of episodes into current watch), so if you're 5 episodes into your 3rd viewing of a 13 episode anime then it will consider that 15 episodes watched rather than 31. Once you finish your rewatch it will all balance out, though.

Oh damn I see,so when I finish it my time watched will be more than before or the same as it was before I began my rewatch?and also,when I finish rewatching,for my rewatch to get marked as completed again(cuz I checked and the 1st season that I’m rewatching got removed from my competed and moved to watching again,even tho it says rewatching and not watching when I update it),do I have to untick the rewatching box or something?

It'll add the time. At that point you've completed your current watch and all of your watches will count in full.

When you finish you untick the show and you also add 1 to the field "Total Times Re-watched Series". Alternatively, if you change your episodes watched through the + button then it will prompt you to "set anime as finished rewatching" and clicking yes will add a rewatch to the anime.
