How many of the most popular anime on MAL have you seen? From the top 50 I have completed 26 and have 21 in my PTW. The other 2 aren't in my list. How about you?

Angel Beats, One Piece... and that's it. Couldn't tell you a damn thing about the other 48... hell, I could barely tell you a thing about One Piece or Angel Beats either.

I’ve completed 40.

Dropped 2, 1 on hold.

Out of the remaining 10 that I haven’t seen any part of, there’s really only 1 I’d seriously consider watching.

15. Needs work.

Dropped/on-hold: 4

Watching: 1

I'm still interested in about 15 of them that I haven't seen...

(Some of these feel no longer relevant in 2025... like Noragami or Parasyte. I'm guessing it's because there are much fewer users on MAL now)

One Piece is on-hold and Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is in PTW, the other ones I have no big interest on watching, but maybe someday due to any reason I would watch them.

Funnily enough I've also watched 26 of the top 50. I actually thought that the number was going to be higher.

Watched 12, watching 4, on hold 2, PTW 4.

So about half (22/50) are in my lists the rest are too action-y, shounen-y or just not interested. Also, IMO it should be a franchise list (ie. having spots taken by sequels makes that top 50 premise questionable).

Some of my completed top 50 I don't consider as worthy of top 50 (I won't name them). Good yes, but hardly MAL top 50 IMO.

Completed:

- Shingeki no Kyojin - 6/10 (first season only; dropped in the second)
- Kimi no Na wa - 7/10
- Steins;Gate - 8/10
- No Game No Life - 7/10
- Koe no Katachi - 8/10
- Noragami - 9/10 (#7 in my overall Top 20)
- Yakusoku no Neverland - 7/10 (first season only; dropped in the second)
- Kiseijuu - 9/10 (#14 in my overall Top 20)
- Cowboy Bebop - 7/10
- Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi - 10/10 (would be somewhere within my Top 10 if I included films and didn't limit it to strictly series - only anime film in my overall Top 10 films of all time list out of thousands)
- Neon Genesis Evangelion - 6/10
- Death Parade - 7/10

Dropped:

- Death Note
- Shingeki no Kyojin season 2
- Dr. Stone

Plan to Watch:

- Kimetsu no Yaiba (though I may drop this from my PTW list as I added it all the way back in 2019 or 2020 and since learned more of anime, of more anime, and of my own taste, so I get a sense now that it wouldn't be my cup of tea)
- Erased

So 12 out of 50 completed.

I've seen 33 of the top 50 most popular. I don't have any in my ptw, but there are some I probably will see in the future. Of them, I gave FMAB and Koe no Katachi 10s, Death Note and Steins;Gate 9s, and the rest lower.

i've only completed 4.

A Silent Voice

Your Name

Spirited Away

Cowboy Bebop

While i love A Silent Voice, the others aren't really my cup of tea.

Same with the rest on the top 50, not really my taste

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by
