Tracking anime

I've noticed a few ways of tracking anime, but I think the best method that I've discovered is Taiga.

Taiga is a light-weight download that tracks anime you have downloaded and/or watched from MAL or Hummingbird. You need to have an account on one of those two websites to use it.

Obviously you're thinking "well why not just use MAL or Hummingbird" and honestly, I would. I've never used Hummingbird, but speaking for MAL, I just don't want to be involved in that community. The discussion is shit, and the people are retarded.

So far, no issues with it. It keeps a nice track of everything and I've enjoyed using it. It also includes a nice seasonal chart for each season, but I haven't tested it yet, only trying to update my MAL so this can update as well.

Had not heard of this, looks promising. Thanks.

No problem. Here is a quick interface overview from my side.

It grabs everything from MAL, so you have to update it there for it to update onto Taiga(that's how I've done it so far). I'm still updating my MAL, otherwise I'd have it figured out by now.

Just noticed my Plan to watch on MAL is only 4. Oh how I wish my backlog was actually that small ;-;

tracking anime doesn't mean shit. It's just for bragging rights like "wow, this guy has watched more anime than me; I should kill myself." It doesn't go towards anything and pretty pointless if you look at it, because if you give an anime a rating, there will always be someone to disagree with you and your opinion becomes nothing. If you liked a certain series, well good for you, no one gives a shit.

tl;dr unless you got some fucking alzheimer's and/or you don't have a clue wtf you're doing/u r from mal, then you don't need it.

not hating on u or anything, but the concept of "tracking what you watched" is dumb

This is just personal records/logs. "Huh, did I watch that new OVA? I don't remember. Let's look at my list." Obviously this isn't the case for things that came out recently, but I can't remember half the shit I watched pre-2012. My memory isn't amazing, and personally, attempting to memorize 400+(I'm still updating) shows is out of my league and nor do I want to.

No one is trying to brag lmao. The only time I would use a list of something you've watched against you is,

-You say something is really good but you've only seen mainstream shows that shine among people with little to nothing watched (AkG, AoT, SAO, etc)

-You attempt to mention something about studios and how they provide QUALITY work, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I could care less about how many shows you've watched if all we're doing is discussing something. Just don't try and tell me that Akame Ga Kill was a solid series or SAO had nothing wrong with it when all you've seen is that and a few other mainstream shows. If you want to say they're good, that's your problem and it can be fixed.

I just keep seeing it more frequently on posts here and other forums. I have no idea what makes people think this show is good other than a lack of shows watched.

OT: I'm enjoying it a lot so far. More pictures (I have a new account because fuck if I was going to go through my old MAL and change everything.(Plus I wanted a new name))

Other things that I've noticed is that if you score say, .hack X/10, then update it on Taiga, it will update it for you on MAL. It's a neat feature so I don't have to visit the website anymore.

I still haven't messed with the manga feature yet.

You just indirectly disagreed earlier...

I like knowing what I have watched to see if maybe I missed a second season or OVA episodes. Also knowing what shows I watched can help me find similar ones.

I have nothing against counting your anime watched I understand it's useful for referring to it. I just don't use one but, I understand people who do.
