Do you know the exact date you started every anime?

Many months ago I added the starting/finishing date to every anime in my list... or at least I tried.
For some, I could only roughly estimate the year.
Just so you can have an idea, today I accidentally stumbled upon an old FB post of mine from 2015 to which I could get the exact date I watched Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu, and it turns out I had gotten the year wrong in my estimate before.

No, I don't remember any such dates.

I have the end date because MAL does that automatically but doesn't for the start date for some reason. Don't care enough to add it manually but wonder why MAL doesn't record that

Not every single anime, but I do know the start/end date for nearly all of the anime I watched after mid 2004. The site I used before MAL didn't have a start/end date feature (ANN's "My Anime"), but I had been keeping track of those myself in a Word document, and I added in all the date info I had as I transferred my list to MAL.

For many of the anime I watched prior to mid 2004, I was able to roughly estimate at least the month/year with some accuracy, based on the dates I did things like downloaded a song, bought a piece of merch, or saved an image. I also watched a handful of anime on TV when I was just getting into it, and in most cases, the dates I watched those would line up with the start/end of the US TV run, so I looked it up and used those dates.

Sometimes I just knew (or could roughly estimate) the date I finished something, and so I was only able to add that.

There's a handful of titles I wasn't sure about at all, mostly things like movies, OVAs, and specials.

Unless I start adding start/finish date often, I can only remember the exact start date of specific anime. I don't bother myself with that too much though.

No, I was 5... well, when I "discovered" anime I was 18, I know the year but not the day or month.
