My anime watchlist hit 500 shows and I feel like a library archivist now

I was cleaning up my tracking app last night and the total just ticked over. It's a mix of stuff I've finished, dropped, and plan to watch. The weird part is, I can remember specific plot points from a show I saw ten years ago better than what I had for lunch. Does anyone else get that, where your brain is just a hard drive for anime details?

Nah, my brain's the opposite lol. I watch something and it's gone in a week unless I rewatch it. 500 is wild though, that's some serious dedication.

Honestly my brain does the exact same thing with anime details.

That number makes me wonder about the physical space all those shows would take up. Like, if you had them all on DVDs or something, you'd need a whole room. The brain storage thing is just a side effect of caring about the stuff, same as any hobby. My uncle can list every baseball stat from 1982 but forgets his own birthday.
