What is a good way to keep track of the episode you're up to?


So I have a list in notepad that I use to keep track of what episode I have
watched:

> ********** Latest episode that I have watched: **********
>
>   * A Certain Magical Index Season 1 Episode 24
>   * A Certain Scientific Railgun Season 2 Episode 24
>   * Absolute Duo Episode 7
>   * Accel World (anime) Episode 23
>   * Accel World (light novel) Volume 2 -all-
>   * Accel World (manga) 11
>   * ... etc.
>

And some other headings like:

> *********** Finished (hopefully not) ***********

and

> *********** To watch/consider: ***********

Is there a good tool online to do the same thing that I am doing but better,
and will update automatically when a new season is automatically added, such
as moved from the finished section to the latest section?




[MyAnimeList](http://myanimelist.net/panel.php) is a fantastic option. Of
every site I've tried it's by far the best. In addition to allowing you to
track your anime according to a number of headings, it also allows you to
specify a ton of other information, like times rewatched, rating, start/end
dates, and how you have it stored (for example, if you own DVD's or BluRays of
a show). Your ratings are actually aggregated with the rest of the community
too - which is a very active community, I might add.

Furthermore, the site will help you track manga in the same way. Not to
mention favorite characters and staff members.

Plus they have news, and there's even a blog attached to your account should
you choose to use it.

If that weren't enough, it has a massive database of just about every anime
and manga you could ever imagine, complete with character lists, plot
summaries, staff/stuido information, user reviews, and recommendations for
other similar anime.

In conclusion, MAL is exactly what you are looking for and more. Switching
from a notepad document to that has saved me quite a few headaches.
