The series. The ship.
The character who broke you.
MAL tracks what you've watched. Hyperfix tracks what it did to you. There's a meaningful gap between “completed — 9/10” and “I watched this entire series in 36 hours and I haven't been the same since.” The character who rearranged your brain. The ship that has you reading fanfic at midnight. The arc that broke you in a way that a star rating doesn't capture.
Hyperfix is for that gap. Log the series, the character, the ship, the specific episode — whatever the actual object of the fixation is. The day counter starts immediately. The intensity meter tracks the arc. And when it finally lifts, the eulogy captures the whole run: how long, how intense, what you wrote at 2 a.m. after that episode.

A completed series is not a closed fixation.
MAL tells you when you finished watching. It doesn't know that you finished watching Evangelion four days ago and you're still not okay. It doesn't know that you've re-read every Gojo Satoru character analysis you can find. It doesn't know that you started reading the manga because the anime isn't enough and you've been going to bed at 3 a.m. for two weeks.
That's a hyperfixation. It started when you hit play on episode one, or maybe episode eight when the thing happened, or maybe when you found the fanfic. It's still running. Hyperfix gives it a counter from the moment it starts — not from when you completed the series, but from when it got you.
A tracker that knows what it's tracking.
Log the fixation.
The series, the character, the ship, the arc — whatever the actual hook is. Sometimes it's the whole show. Sometimes it's one character in episode seven. Log what it actually is, not what the show is called.
Track the depth.
Anime hyperfixations have phases: the initial watch, the rewatch, the fandom dive, the fanfic era, the fanart phase. The intensity meter captures where you are. Update it when a new chapter drops, when you find the fic, when the arc escalates.
Close it when it's done.
The fixation ends when it ends — not when you finish the series. When the specific brain-state lifts and you can think about other things again, close the fix. Hyperfix writes the eulogy: how long you were in it, what the peak was, what you'd want to remember.
Not MAL. Not your memory.
Hyperfix vs. MyAnimeList / AniList
MAL and AniList are completion trackers. They're excellent at what they do — logging what you've watched, rating it, finding recommendations. Hyperfix isn't trying to replace them. Hyperfix is for the thing that happens after “completed.” The obsession that outlasts the series by weeks. The character who keeps living in your brain long after the credits rolled.
Hyperfix vs. keeping it in your head
Anime hyperfixations are easy to undercount mentally. “I was into JJK for like two months” — but was it two months of casual enjoyment or two months of thinking about Gojo Satoru's backstory every single day? The counter makes it concrete. Day 41 of a character fixation is a different thing than day 12. The record exists so you can look back and know.
Everything you wanted to ask.
01Can I track individual characters separately from the series?
Yes. The series is one potential fixation, and a specific character within it can be a different fixation with a different counter. If you watched Attack on Titan and it was fine, but then Levi Ackerman happened and you spent eight weeks exclusively in his corner of the fandom — that's its own entry. Log the thing that actually has you. Sometimes it's the show. Sometimes it's one person in the show.
02What about tracking ships?
Ships are first-class fixations. Log them by name (Gojo x Geto, Forger family dynamics, whatever), set the type to 'ship,' and let the counter run. Ship fixations often outlast the source material — you'll still be reading the fic years after the series ended. The counter captures all of that.
03How do I handle a series I'm watching currently vs. one I finished but am still obsessed with?
Both get logged — they're just different. A currently-airing series fix starts when it gets you, not when it ends. A finished series fix might start when you complete it and the obsession kicks in, or it might have started mid-watch. Log from when the fixation actually began, not from an arbitrary episode marker.
04What about manga vs. anime fixations for the same series?
Log them separately if they feel separate, or as one if they're the same fixation in different formats. If you watched the anime and it was fine, then you read the manga and it wrecked you — that's a manga fixation, not a continuation of the anime one. If you moved from anime to manga and the obsession just kept going, update the note and keep the same fix running.
05Can I track non-Japanese animation?
Hyperfix tracks anything. It doesn't check genres or regions. If Avatar: The Last Airbender is consuming you the way an anime fixation does, log it. The type field is freeform — you can call it what it is.
06What's the eulogy like when an anime fixation ends?
The eulogy is a closing card: the title of the fixation, the day count, the peak intensity, and a note you write at close. It's designed to be screenshotted and shared — or just kept. You'll be able to look back at it and remember exactly what the Jujutsu Kaisen arc did to you in the spring of 2026 and why you were like that for forty-one days.
The series got you. Log it before day one becomes a memory.
