Use the `SetStatus` method to set the status of an anime.
This method takes these arguments:

- `id int` ID of the anime
- `status string` Status to set. Accepted values are `watching`, `completed`, `on_hold`, `dropped`, `plan_to_watch`

Example: 

``` go
package main

import (
  "github.com/MikunoNaka/MAL2Go/v4/user/anime"
  "log"
  "fmt"
)

func main() {
  authToken := "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
  myClient := anime.Client {
    AuthToken: "Bearer " + authToken,
  }
  
  res, err := myClient.SetStatus(47194, "plan_to_watch")
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
  
  fmt.Println("Status has been set to", res.Status)
}
```

The above example adds "Summertime Render" to your plan to watch list.

The [response](/docs/mal2go/v4/user/anime/types/#mal2gouseranimeupdateresponse) from the API can be used to show the information of the anime after being updated.
