Mylist Status

This part is located directly below Basic Info (if the anime has gotten any award it will be below those) and only visible when you are logged in.

Shows how many eps you have in your mylist, the watched status and the state you have set.


It's structured into 3 sections:

  • Anime title
    Besides the anime title it shows the state you have set for your files.
  • Episodes
    how many episodes you have in your mylist of the total eps. (total eps is zero, if the complete number is unknown)
    the +"x" shows how many special episodes you have added to your mylist of this anime
  • Seen
    seen eps of total eps in your mylist.
    the +"x" is for how many special eps you have seen for this anime.
Note: This stat might be outdated or show wrong values. If that happens don't panic. Just wait till the next DB update happens.

Group Info

On each anime-page, right below the mylist-status and above the episode-listing, you`ll notice the Group Info with compiled information on how many episodes that group has done, what their last episode was, whether it's complete or not and when the last episode got added to AniDB.
Furthermore if you have the anime in your mylist there will be a number in front of each group telling you how many files you have of that group in your mylist.
In addition to that info, when you want to vote or comment on a group for a specific anime, look at the last three columns: Rating, Comments and Action.

The average rating for a group is hidden until at least 10 votes are cast. Also, the list only shows 5 of the groups, so you may have to click "show all" to get the complete list.
For further information about votes see: Groupvotes per Anime
