Write down every anime you watch, and keep it for good. ONE SCREEN FOR RIGHT NOW Episodes, hours, titles completed, and the next episodes you can log — all on the screen you open into. WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Watch histories don't stick around forever. Drop a show for a few months, come back, and you have no idea which episode you stopped on — worse for something that ran several seasons, or a few hundred episodes. Note where you got to and when you watched it. It's kept in your iCloud, so it's still there on a new phone or after you reinstall. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Some shows are only in one place, some only in another, and you might switch halfway through. Where you watch doesn't matter — the records all sit in Bancha. You can add things you finished years ago too, so the totals cover everything: titles, episodes, hours. DETAIL WHERE IT COUNTS • Put a date on any single episode — the exact day if you remember it, just the year if you don't • Write your own note on any episode • Rewatching starts a separate run: the first time through and the second keep their own dates and notes THE SHOWS YOU'RE ON • Calendar: what airs next, and how many episodes you're behind • New Episode Alerts for the shows you're following • Logging reminders on the days and time you choose • Watch Summary: episodes, hours and your top genres, as a card you can share BACKUP • No account to sign up for. Export everything to JSON, CSV or MyAnimeList format • Bring a MyAnimeList list over in one go CREDITS Anime data from Bangumi (subject data, CC BY-SA 3.0), bangumi-data (CC BY 4.0) and Wikidata (CC0).
