*Edit,~! I'm all caught up now yay! ^^*

Lately I've been getting somewhat backlogged on my Anime I should be watching. I'm finding myself getting bad spurts of what I'd called, "Anime ADD". I'll start to watch something but if I lose focus and think of something else I need to check or start to download I'll alt tab out and go do that, before getting back to my show I should have finished.

I do understand I have a lot of dropped Anime on my list on here. I kind of wish MAL had another option of, "Not interested in". Truthfully if I have something on my dropped list that I should really be watching let me know and I'll put some time and resources into googling information about it and if it has been subbed and what not I'll go off and download it right away.

I'm extremely good at finding stuff when it comes down to it if I put effort into it. When I'm on a hunt to try to find the name of a series or a way to download something it really just gets my adrenaline going and I want to get it done no matter what.

I'm really open to any type of anime and I like having different views and perspectives on everything. So if you can help me out at all to broaden my horizons so to speak, please by all means go for it~ ^^

That kinda happens to me too. Though its more like I don't feel like watching anime at the moment or I don't feel like watching this particular one. Sometimes I get that feeling and the anime I'm watching I will just stop watching and sometime in the later future I will come back to it. For example I started watching pandora hearts when it came out and I got that feeling and I still haven't gone back to finish it up, but hopefully soon I will get the chance/feeling to go back and watch it.

I also know that feel. ;_;

I have that horrible habit as well. I'll be watching an anime and 10 minutes in I'll alt-tab and browse forums or talk to my friends for an hour or two then do it all over again. It's probably why my list of completed anime is so small.

I have the same problem as you for the getting distracted while watching a show as well.

My dropped list is mostly stuff that the next episode was so poorly encoded that the timing is too far off, Can't find the disks anywhere near where I live, or evey link that I find for the episode that I am up to have been unavailable here in Canada.

2 newer series that I have been watching weekly That I never saw on your list are Blood-C and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!. I found them on Animefreak.net

Hello again. I wrote a whole in-depth comment in reply, then realised that I couldn't post on your profile. D'oh!

Anywho, I see you watched a couple of episodes of Mushishi already and that's probably enough to make your mind up about it, but I'll throw in my two cents anyway. For me the shows episodes are so different from each other,that you never know what's quite going to happen. Whether it'll end well or not. And the fact that it's very episodic, meaning you can just watch an episode whenever you fancy without having to worry about losing the plot.

"Not interested in."
I'd be using that for sure. though I don't think it would ever be implemented.

I don't think I can broaden your horizons. Can it be any broader with a list that huge? Sure there's stuff on your dropped list that I enjoyed immensely and would recommend to anyone else, but if you've watched an episode or two and didn't like it then there's nothing I can do. (I'm talking Azumanga, Sketchbook, Ichigo Mashimaro, though I see you did enjoyed Lucky Star. Curious indeed.)

However! There is one thing missing from your list. It's not on your dropped, plan to watch, on hold, or anything.
Mushishi
It's. Awesome.
