Published on 5/27/2026
New to anime tracking? You do not need spreadsheets or messy notes. An anime list app gives you one home for everything you watch.
Beginner-friendly workflow
- Pick one show you are watching now.
- Search it on TrackOtaku.
- Set status to watching and episodes watched to your current count.
- Add two plan-to-watch recommendations from discover.
Statuses explained
- Watching — active weekly or daily series
- Completed — finished from start to end
- Plan to watch — backlog and recommendations
- On hold — paused but not dropped
- Dropped — stopped intentionally
This simple system scales from one anime to hundreds.
