Watchlist & Continue Watching
Your watchlist keeps every show you care about in folders, and Continue Watching remembers exactly where you stopped. Both follow your account to every device you sign in on.
The short version
Press Add to List on any anime and pick a folder. Once it is saved the button reads In your list (or Edit List on the watch page). Everything you have saved lives on the Watchlist page, and anything you have started playing shows up under Continue Watching.
Saving a show
Open Add to List
Anime pageAdd to List
The button sits in the header of every anime page, and in the control row under the player. Guests are asked to sign in first, since lists belong to an account.
Choose a folder
Add to ListWatching
There are five folders: Watching, On-Hold, Planned, Dropped and Watched. Picking another folder later simply moves the show; removing it takes it off your list.
Keep the shows you are following in Watching. That folder is also what new-episode notifications are built from.
Manage the list
AvatarWatchlist
The Watchlist page shows every saved title with filters for folder, airing status, format, genre and year, and a sort order. Open it from the account menu under your avatar.
Continue Watching
While a video plays, your position is saved every few seconds on the device, and synced to your account shortly after when you are signed in. Come back later and the episode resumes where you left it.
- The home page shows a Continue Watching row with your most recent shows. Remove a single one, or use Clear all.
- The full history is on its own page: Avatar › Continue Watching.
- Watching signed out still resumes on the same browser, but it will not follow you elsewhere.
Good to know
- Your list is public on your profile unless you switch off Public watchlist in Settings › Preferences.
- Coming from another site? The Account & Data guide explains how to import a MyAnimeList or AniList list.
