Advanced list/table

Hello ! I’m pretty new to Obsidian and I would need some help I want to do a sort of table of my anime, where I have a column for the name, for the statut (watched, watchlist, paused, watching) and for my rating I tried doing it with a simple table but it’s not efficient and I don’t like it that much So I would like to know if there’s any plugin or tech to do an advanced table with menu for the options (example : for each anime I can select the statut rather than writing it myself) Here’s a photo of my actual table Thanks in advance !

I would add those fields as Properties (Frontmatter) in your notes about the anime, and then use either Dataview or Bases to make the actual tables in an overview-node. If you add Templater or Linter to the mix, you can get those notes up and running pretty quickly. All, except Bases, are Community Plugins.
You don't even need Templater/Linter for the basics. Just Bases is enough if you set things up right (P or not P conditionals in the right order will create notes with property value P when you press the plus button, if you do it right)
Oh - so you can do that directly from Bases?! Did not know- have not explored it enough. Great info!
what do you use?
You could do this with the core Bases plugin (you can enable it in the settings if it isn’t enabled already). You would essentially create a note per anime (it doesn’t need to have any content other than the title and properties you want to display in the base) and make sure you have “status” and “rating” visible. There are a few property types you might want to play around with to see which one better fits your properties!
this is the right approach imo, properties + dataview scales really well once you start adding more entries
Yeah, don't do that, use the bases to build a nice view like this: https://imgur.com/a/9P3FE2v
Please use something like AniList or Mal for anime tracking. It’s literally designed for this, it’ll be so much easier.
use myanimelist or anilist ?
