A typical mylist

Your mylist will probably be the feature of AniDB you spend most time with, so getting to know it well should be a priority; that's what these pages are for.

You should also take a look at how to add files to your mylist.

Your mylist is where your list of anime are. Every anime that you have added a file for will end up here, and you can at a glance tell when you have a complete anime and what you have seen. You can see what you have voted and if you've written a review for a particular anime. It takes just two fast clicks to see which files from which groups you have for any anime, and you can quickly tell if you have them on your hdd or on cd or not (this is called the file's state). If you want to change a file's state, you can do that from here too. In the rest of this article, we will tell you how to do all these things, and much more.

Your Animelist

The main part of this page is your anime list, it will fill most of your screen, and it is where all the info can be seen.

In the entries for your anime you can see the following parts:

At the far left is a plus-button (http://static.anidb.net/css/icons/orange/plus.gif) which you can click in order to expand the entry. The very top button will expand all the entries on your screen.

Title

In this section you can see the name of the anime and if you have it on hdd/cd/deleted.

EPs

In this section you can see how many episodes you have, and how many episodes the anime has in total.

Seen

In this section you can see how many episodes you have seen of the ones you have.

Rating

In this section you can see what other people thought of the anime.

My

In this section you can see what you voted the anime. (The exclamation mark means, that you forgot to vote for this anime.)

Reviews

In this section you can see other peoples reviews of this anime. (I don't know whether you can see your own because I have not written a review myself, but I assume so).

Action

At the far right, there is a checkbox you can select in order to change certain things about the anime. If you mark this checkbox you can then press the button Update Selected Animes in order to set the desired options for those anime.

Expanded Anime

When you have expanded an anime entry, you will see a list of the episodes you have files for for that anime.

At the far left is a plus-button (http://static.anidb.net/css/icons/orange/plus.gif) which you can click in order to expand the entry. This will expand all episode entries you have showing on your screen.

EP

This will show the episode number.

Title

This will show the title for the episode and an icon if you have watched it. The episode title is clickable, and you can click it in order to get additional information about that particular episode.

Length

This shows how long (in minutes) the episode is. If this says 0 it may either be a very short episode, or the length haven't been added to the DB. Feel free to add it yourself.

Date

This will show when the episode was first aired or released. If this date is shown in italics it means it shows only when the episode was added to the DB instead of when it actually aired. If you have this information, feel free to add it yourself.

Files

This will list how many files you have for this episode.

Action

If you only have 1 file for this episode, you can change whether you have watched it or not here.

Expanded Episodes

At the far left of the expanded file entry you will see a checkbox that you can mark in order to change some things about the file. See the Update Selected files section.

Fid

Here you can see the fid of the file, it is clickable so you can use it to get additional information for that file.

Group

Here you can see which group has released the file you have. It is just the group's shortname. If you want to find out more info about that particular group, just click on it.

Size

This lists the size in bytes of the file.

Qual

This lists what quality people have thought the file was. This is very subjective and not something you should heed without question. If a file is listed as bad quality however, that is usually correct. If you feel the quality-rating is wrong, feel free to change it yourself.

Stat

This lists a couple of icons which show what language the file has, if it has the correct CRC and whether you've seen it or not. You can hover your mouse over these to get information about what they actually mean written as a tool-tip on the screen.

State

This lists where you have the file stored. On hdd/cd/deleted/unknown. You can hover your mouse over the icon to have what it means written on the screen in a tool-tip.

Storage

If you entered anything in the storage field when you added the file, that will be shown here.

Source

If you entered anything in the source field when you added the file, that will be shown here.

Ed2k

This icon provides an ed2k link to the file.

Action

These icons let you mark the file as watched/unwatched, edit the entry, or remove the file. You can hover your mouse over them to get a tool-tip on screen telling you which icon does what.
