| It may sound odd, but sometimes I worry when I watch a great anime. I worry because once I'm done watching it, it's over. I've seen it already. I enjoy rewatching anime but it'll never have that same initial impact. Since I, for the most part, only watched a lot of the long running shounen until I joined MAL, there was a vast sea of great, well known anime I hadn't seen continuously rising over the years. What happens when that sea runs dry though? Obviously more great anime will continue to air as time goes on but most of us anime viewers consume this stuff at a rate that the great writers of the world simply can't keep up with. At some point I'm going to catch up and run out of great anime to see until a new one airs. I'm going to run out of the Triguns, Cowboy Bebops, and FMABs of the world. There's a crazy amount of good anime out there, I can always find a 7 or 8 to have some fun with, but the 9s and 10s that I truly adore are limited. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that there are these great and acclaimed anime that I haven't seen and can binge watch all the way through. I don't want that to end lol |

| You haven't watched FLCL or NGE so should you worry not |
guywholikesanime said: You haven't watched FLCL or NGE so should you worry not That's my point. I love that I haven't. There's tons of stuff for me to see so I don't have to wait for something new to come out to hold my interest. But what happens once I've seen all these great and classic anime? |

| there are 200 harems on mal i only watched 50 no i dont have any fear |
| If I run out of good anime to watch then I still have my weeb games. However I feel I have a lot to watch yet and I can always re-watch shows. I admit that I have feared that too, though. Editing again: A lot of my PTW list is old anime and I fear that I wont like them not because they are old but because many shows I have watched might have done what they did a lot better. |

| I do not have such fears. I have plenty of anime in my ptw list and it's only growing larger. Sure, some of the anime on there are harems or other not-so-great anime, but I'm still not running out of good anime to watch. I watch a lot of less known anime, so I usually don't even know if it's good until I watch it. I actually have the opposite problem where there's a lot of great anime that I want to watch but I just don't have the time for. I've been putting off anime like FMAB and HxH due to their length even though they look really good. |

| We should all fear Sturgeon's Law |
| There are people that have been watching anime longer than MAL has existed. I think you'll be fine regarding the amount of anime being produced worth watching. Anime will of course change as the time goes on. Running out of anime is out of the question unless somehow a catastrophe occurs in Japan's anime industry. |
 |
| I believe there are many hidden gems out there lurk deeper |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Nah they make new anime every season so chill |
 |
| no i watch old and new anime |
 |
| Nope, and even if I ran out of, some animes that I have overlooked turned out to be surprisingly good for me. |
 ♠ Anime List ↔ Manga List ♠ |
| I can always re watch the anime I love while I wait for more masterpieces to pop out. I do think it will get boring if I ever watch enough anime to actually have a chance of running out, but I have a very long time to get there. |
-_- |
| No There are nigh 10000 anime out there, pretty sure I won't run out sooner or later. Even if you apply the Sturgeon's Law (which is a pretty shit "law"), that's still nigh 1000 anime. |
 |
| Last Great anime I've watched was Kiseijuu, however it hasnt been a year so I guess its nothing to worry about yet |
| Looking at your list I don't think you should be worrying about that. You seem to enjoy the majority of anime you watch. |
| why always need watch great anime? it will only make your expectation become higher. sometimes, watch decent anime. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| No because there is media besides anime. |
| Nah theres a shit ton of anime and more is always being made |
| don't worry there are more than enough good animes to watch |
 |
| Yes an No. No because, I currently have about 200 anime on my PTW list, and with the current pace I'm watching anime (maybe 50 anime per year,or even less) I would need 4-5 years to finish it. And since every season we get at least 30 new shows, that means 120 new anime per year, multiple that and you get that in 4-5 years there will be 480-600 new anime produced. That's a lot of shows. And as for running out of 9s and 10s , I don't really have that problem either,since don't always try to only watch the best of the best and soI have a bunch of potential 9s and 10s to watch. Now for the reason I sometimes am afraid I will run out of anime |
| There always something for me to watch. I love moe shows, so I'll never run out. I'm perfectly fine with watching 7 to 10, and to me an 8 is great. |
 |
| I still have tons of shit in my PTW list to interest me and I'd be satisfied even if they were for a 6. They don't really have to be great. |

| Nah. Lots of anime series are coming out every year, and some of them are bound to be good. Even IF I run out of stuff to watch, there's always video games and films. |
| Nay young padawan, there's as many anime as there are stars. You will never see the end for they are countless. |
 |
| I'm already out of anime Lmao |
 |
| Not really. I have 482 shows (some are OVAs and movies of course) on my plan to watch list, and most of them I added because I think I'll enjoy them (others I added simply because they're popular and I want to get around to watching them eventually, or I know that I probably won't enjoy them per se, but I'm curious regardless). I think I've watched more good anime than bad overall, but there's still been a lot of disappointing series I've watched. I don't think it's humanely possible for me to actually watch everything on my PTW in my lifetime, but I think I've enough on there to keep my entertained until I kick the bucket, or I simply get bored of anime. I'm sure there's enough "great" anime on my list that I'll get around to watching at some point, so I'm not worried about running out of good shows any time soon. |
 |
| Nah there are lots of good ones out there which I have yet to watch. I watch anime pretty slow too so I have no worries. |
| I do! But please remember there's always an underrated anime that you might like. Just keep digging! :p |
Signature of three years-or-so was removed here's my new one . Thank you and have a nice day, everyone. |
| I have this fear!!! If you think about it, the days of DBZ, death note, code geass, etc. The more recent ones are kinda good, but you know.... it's not the same. The only upcoming anime I'm dying to see are sequels. Rewatching the best anime works for only some anime, but those with plot twists like Death note lose that "special feeling" when you rewatch it :( |
| I was here? Prove it. |
| No. Quite the opposite. There is just too much anime I want to watch. |
 |
| I'm only enjoying the currently airing anime. I'm struggling to find any good anime that finished airing. guywholikesanime said: You haven't watched FLCL or NGE so should you worry not FLCL is shit and very boring |

Which one, exactly? None of the main character is boring. The story may seem random, but there's more than meets the eye, I recommend rewatching it. |

| Since I still have 100+ anime on my PTW list, I should be fine for the next 3 years. |
| I still have my vn's light novels manga. Real books, 3d dramas and every other entertainment medium available. So no fear here. |
 |
| Impossible. |
