Ah, the Continue Watching list. Every streaming service has one, right?
A constant reminder of our unfinished shows. It's like that stack of laundry you keep meaning to fold.
Funimation's List: A Love-Hate Relationship
Funimation is awesome for anime, no doubt. But let's be real. That Continue Watching list can get out of hand.
It's a digital graveyard of episodes sampled but not conquered. Or maybe you just accidentally clicked on something.
The Great Purge: A Guide to (Sort of) Clearing Your List
So, how do we tackle this beast? I've got a few thoughts, a few "unpopular" opinions perhaps.
First, let's talk about the *actual* method Funimation provides. It's... well, it's something.
Go to your Watch History. Find the offending show. Delete each and every episode you watched.
Yes, you read that right. Each. And. Every. Episode. Fun, isn't it?
"Are you kidding me?" - Probably You, Right Now
I know, I know. It's tedious. It's like cleaning your room with a toothbrush.
My "Genius" Workarounds (aka Desperate Measures)
Okay, so the official method is... less than ideal. Let's get creative. These might not be supported solution.
The "Watch it Again" Gambit. Find the show on your list. Fast forward to the very end of the *last* episode.
Let it play through the credits. Sometimes, just sometimes, Funimation gets the hint.
No guarantees, but hey, it's worth a shot. Think of it as digital closure.
The "Binge and Begone" Strategy. Accept your fate. Binge the rest of the show.
This only works if you *kinda* liked it. But hey, a clean slate is a clean slate, right?
Plus, you might actually discover a hidden gem. Or at least, you'll get rid of the notification.
The Nuclear Option: Embrace the Chaos
Look, sometimes, you just gotta let it go. Embrace the endless scroll.
Pretend the Continue Watching list is a quirky, personalized recommendation engine. "Oh, Funimation thinks I should watch Zombie Land Saga again? Maybe I should!"
Or just ignore it completely. Pretend it doesn't exist. Channel your inner zen master.
After all, who are we to judge what algorithms deem worthy of our attention?
In conclusion, removing shows from Funimation's Continue Watching is an art, not a science. Embrace the jank.
Try my silly methods. Complain to Funimation (maybe they'll listen someday!).
Or, you know, just watch more anime. Distraction is a valid coping mechanism.
Happy Watching! May your Continue Watching list be ever in your favor. Or, at least, slightly less annoying.
May Funimation listen to our cries.
