I realized that for shows I rewatched, I didn’t have the dates I watched them with Japanese subs since AniList doesn’t track dates for rewatches. So I went and clicked “Load More” on my activity feed until I got back to March 2021 and grabbed all the dates that way. I think I upset AniList’s servers doing that though, based on how long it took to load towards the end.
@Biblio I encountered an interesting dilemma in the final stages of this launch. I marked Case Closed (TV Series 1996- ) — The Movie Database (TMDB) as finished for you and marked all the episodes as finished in season 1… but it seems that there are 1100 episodes in season 1 .
I’m assuming you only watched a few of them? I do have a ‘manual progress’ mechanism which allows you to independently select episodes and not do the episodes in order… which was intended for use cases like this. Just curious how many episodes you watched
You underestimate me. I have in fact watched 1066 episodes plus all movies so far (I think the TV series is currently on 1073 episodes). It’s not all 1 season, though…
Oh my, you are an absolute champ! Well, I will mark it as complete then. I’m not entirely sure what to do about your stats as it’s a lot of hrs that will be applied at launch.
As for how the seasons are broken up, unfortunately I’m pretty reliant of TMDB for these things and they just have one massive 1100 episode season and a ‘specials’ 52 episode season I think they’re usually very good about these things, so somewhat surprising… but i’ll have to leave as one season for now.
Thanks for chiming in!
Edit: It seems that they concur with you about ~1073 episodes having aired… they just have listed some episodes into the future, up to 1100. Perhaps it’s budgeted for 1100? Or TMDB is just getting ahead of the curve adding items to be filled. Regardless, i’ll only mark the ones released as watched.
Been a while since I wrote this, and I’ve watched a lot more anime since, and considering the audiovisual update appears to be pretty soon, I figure I might make an update post on what I’ve watched.

I’m slowly going back and re-watching a lot of my favorite anime with Japanese subs instead, but definitely watched most of these first with English subs, so may be rating them a little easier than some others would. Still, I would say the relative ratings are accurate.
Hello! I would like to share the nice website Rakuten Viki for watching asian and a lot of Japanese movies and series for free if a little ad is acceptable.
I have watched some series with English subtitles and could not say what level it has. So I have looked up in the Internet and found some information. The level should be ranked between intermediate and advanced level. Moreover it is said:
“… Viki even has a Learn Mode , where you can enable double subtitles and use arrows to move back and forth between them, as well as replay the segment you just watched to better grasp what was said…”
I hope the site is of use.
Yes, Viki is pretty good for Asian live-action dramas, I agree! I’ve even used the learn mode you’re talking about (albeit for Korean dramas, which they have many of) and it’s pretty good.
There’s not a whole lot of great Japanese dramas on there, but we’ll definitely be incorporating it. When we incorporate providers, it looks like our data source, TMDB, includes Viki in their streaming options (see this series which shows Viki as a streaming option).
Appreciate the note @Misaki, you’re right that it probably deserves special mention when we incorporate it
(This I didn’t finish… it was a lot harder than any of the above) 四畳半神話大系 - 38
The exact number I listed is maybe not as meaningful, but the ‘gaps’ mark where I’d say one group is harder than the previous with anything grouped together as “similar to”
TBH, I probably won’t launch with that data just because it’s a bit of work for me if there’s no TMDB urls in the post and we’re very close to launch… but after launch I can come back and try to find all those on TMDB.
The request process should also be quite easy too, if you don’t want to wait for me.
Definitely don’t hold up the update for even a minute on my account (I might have people knocking down my door if you did that ). Added the links for after the release though
