How much are you gaining or losing on total amount anime

<< < (3/4) > >>

Aneroph:
I'm lucky if a watch 1 episode a day, but on occasion when I find something good I might do 5-6 episodes or even just marathon the whole thing. I always enjoy watching anime, but I like to multi-task to an extreme point where if I am sitting around doing nothing other than watching anime I get jittery and can't pay attention because I'm thinking about all the other stuff I want to be doing. The hardest part is actually starting to watch an episode.

Artwork, animation, sound quality, and character design play huge roles in whether or not I like an anime, so most really old series are unwatchable to me. There is also a large portion of anime coming out that bores me, is in a category I don't care for, or is just not that good, so that eliminates a huge portion of watchable anime. I would say there are about 100 series that are must watch/amazing series for every anime viewer, and that number grows by about 1 every couple of years when a classic is released. After that it's best to ride the coattails of newly airing series while watching the occasional old, less important anime to increase your chances of finding those special series.

I rewatch Ichigo Marshmallow way too often to ever really catch up on my downloaded, to watch list, let alone on my need to download list.

Tl;dr
Ongoing series: Up to 2 hours a week.
Finished series: Very picky. Once started, which is fairly rare, all my free time until done.

I think the important thing is to be picky. Don't watch anime just to watch it (because you're an "animefan" or whatever), but because you actually like the show. I'll make K-ON! my example. I would have never watched this show, because I think it sucks story-/entertainment-wise. I only watched it because of its popularity within the animecommunity. Because I'm picky about what I like, I have spare time to even watch shows I don't like. I don't watch anime just to watch anime mindlessly.

Lol agreed! My list of anime is so huge it'll take forever for me to watch it all to then have to watch the new stuff! The most anime I've ever seen in one day is 6 episodes and I think I've only been able to do that once.

Eiyu:
The list of animes that has been downloaded and needed to be watch keeps growing and growing and evetually it will be like Jarudin's list (for those who remember his list)

Worst habit of mine is if I start a series; I'll will watch it to the end (with expection of a few series like doraemon) and even if it's an awful series that shouldn't of been animated.
