I like to sort the media I consume, and am currently using

  • IMDB (movies and shows)
  • myanimelist (anime movies and shows)
  • GameFAQs (games)

I love the design of myanimelist, you can easily view prequels and sequels, different seasons, specials and adaptations. I especially like that it has notifications about upcoming seasons / movies of stuff I watched. Sometimes it seems I am living under a rock and I only notice that a season 2 of some show I watched came out, long after it aired. Rarely happens with anime.

GameFAQs is not perfect, but I like seeing my ratings in a list. One friend of mine is always whining about having no games to play and then it’s time (again) to send him my very subjective list of “good games” and offer to pirate and send him twilight princess.

IMDB is self explanatory, not a good website and full of annoyances but I found no replacement until now.

What I need is: Website with some data about the media (if I get a myanimelist-like for regular shows and games I would be happy), ratings, at best some user reviews. And I’d love to just go onto the site, go to notifications and see “the show you planned to watch is airing soon”. And from time to time I want to sift through my ratings, be it nostalgia / wanting to rewatch / replay something or wanting to give out recommendations to a friend

So I am asking y’all: What are you using if you like to sort your shit like I do? A .txt document on your desktop? A great website you want to share? Some sort of launcher having this integrated? Something self-hosted? Feel free to share it all.

      Feels like the user base has usually more refined opinions on movies, but I couldn’t bring myself to use them, since I probably watch 10 shows for every movie, and fragmenting my bases further didn’t feel right.
