I finally hit 100 completed anime on my list and it was way less fun than I expected

So last Tuesday I was updating my list on MAL and noticed I crossed 100 finished shows. I thought I'd feel proud but honestly I just sat there wondering how many of them I could actually remember. I started keeping a list back in 2019 during a rough stretch where I watched like 4 shows a week after work, mostly whatever was airing that season. Looking at the list now, I can name maybe 20 that left any real mark on me, and the rest kind of blur into one big pile of forgettable 12 episode shows. I tried counting how many I gave an 8 or higher and it was only 13, which says a lot. Part of me wants to slow down and rewatch the ones I loved, but the other part keeps adding new seasonal stuff every time a friend posts about it. Does anyone here actually keep a real list or do you just forget half of what you finish?
