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.

    I track my movie and TV show watchlists with trakt.tv. it’s connected to my jellyfin and *arr stack.

    I don’t game so that’s of no interest to me. I use Kavita/mylar3 for comic books, audiobookshelf/readarr and storygraph for audiobooks. for music I use last.fm, again connected to my jellyfin server (with symfonium as a client).

      Oh true I use trakt.tv as middleman between two jellyfin servers to “sync” my watched state. Never looked into the rest of the website, but I should probably.

    I use https://www.icheckmovies.com/ to track movies and series.
    They are based on the imdb database, but I trust them way more with my data than amazon owned imdb.

    Its a basic, easy to use website without any frill and extras. Made by some dutch guys to track their own movies.

      To add: I use https://next-episode.net/ to check on series and new seasons, but not for tracking, but I think you could.

      And anything books on Storygraph

    I personally track it in a self hosted jellyseer instance, but I used to use trakt.tv
