A Watchlist Status is the state assigned to an anime on a user's AnimeOshi Watchlist: Want to Watch, Currently Watching, or Completed.
A Watchlist Status is the state you assign to an anime on your AnimeOshi Watchlist, such as Want to Watch, Currently Watching, or Completed. This helps to track where it sits in your viewing.
The Watchlist is your personal tracker for the anime you intend to watch, are watching, or have already watched. Watchlist Status is the label you put on each of those anime so the list stays organized as your viewing changes. It exists so you can keep one running record of everything on your radar instead of relying on memory or scattered notes.
Every anime on your Watchlist carries exactly one of these statuses:
Want to Watch
On your radar, not started yet.
Currently Watching
In progress right now.
Completed
Finished.
You set a Watchlist Status from an anime's detail page using the + Watching button, which opens a dropdown for choosing the status. Picking a status adds the anime to your Watchlist (or updates it if it is already there). You can change the status at any time as your viewing progresses, and move an anime from Want to Watch to Currently Watching to Completed.
Your Watchlist is on the My Lists page at /lists, under the Saved Anime tab. That tab groups your anime by status so you can jump to what you Want to Watch, what you are Currently Watching, or what you have Completed.
The Watchlist is not the same as a custom List. The Watchlist (the Saved Anime tracker) is your single status-organized record of anime. Custom Lists are playlists you build and name yourself — like themed collections you can share, and that can have collaborators. One tracks your watching; the other is for curating and sharing.
Q: What are the watchlist statuses on AnimeOshi?
There are three: Want to Watch, Currently Watching, and Completed. Each anime on your Watchlist has exactly one.
Q: How do I add an anime to my Watchlist?
Open the anime's detail page and use the + Watching button, then choose a status from the dropdown. That adds the anime to your Watchlist under the status you picked.
Q: Where do I see everything I'm tracking?
On the My Lists page at /lists, in the Saved Anime tab. It groups your tracked anime by status.
Q: What's the difference between my Watchlist and a List?
The Watchlist is your personal status-organized tracker of anime. A custom List is a playlist you create, name, and can share with others. They serve different purposes — tracking versus curating.
