Are you the kind of person who changes your favorites list often?

I see myself changing my favorites list all the time this past month. It's not saying I think of my old favorites as any less good (they are still in a top catergory of mine), but I have been finishing a couple of anime series each week (the perks of being on vacation) and each week I happen to at least watch one of them that is so good that I feel it deserves to be on my list.

I am not sure why I feel weird changing my favorites list and I was wondering if anyone else frequently changes their favorites list.

Edit: If something is in my top 4 or top 5 I won't switch it out unless it has met beyond my expectations.

It's just hard for me to choose favorites because I used to be hardcore but now i'm a filthy casual. I'm kinda sad because Evangelion was my favorite for so long but I don't have a lot of interest in it anymore.

I am sure the interest is still there. Maybe you saw so many times you got bored of seeing the same thing over and over? maybe?

Yeah as there are many great shows I still need to watch. I also do it just to keep fresh. As today I finished Area_88 and put it on my favs. While it is definately in my top 15 I don't know if it will stay in my top 10 after I watch a few more shows :p
Brace yourself.

Soon as LotGH 2017 comes out. The anime community is going to become so cancerous you will need to take cover and hide.

you can add more than 5, in case you didn't know yet


I do from time to times, but I only feel weird becuase the idea of having favourites is weird to begin with
i mean you know in your mind exactly what shows you like the most right? so why change them? to show an expression of love towards a certain show or so that other people can determine who you are by the anime you like?


lol I have no idea what it is. I have more than 10 favorites (But I only have 4 animes rated a 10) and for some reason I wish I could put them all up and give them hugs and kisses just like the other ones.

I change the bottom few characters on my favourite characters list quite frequently (the last two change at least once a month). The top five or six remain more or less stable, unless I come across one I find good enough to add higher (this happened last week, for the first time in several months).

I don't change any of my favourite anime as frequently though. Maybe once every few months.
Since I don't read manga nearly as often as I watch anime, my favourite manga remain unchanged for even longer.

The favourite people list was more of an afterthought, so I rarely bother with it.

yea my top anime choices I don't change, but the rest I tend to think back and forth. And I do the same with the characters. My bottom characters I change more frequently.

Idk why I overthink it, but I can be finicky when it comes to pointless things (this is what happens when I am on vacation with nothing to do for a month...)

My favorite anime list is rarely touched. Only because the show has to hit be in a very special way, also quite unique.

I'm also picky as hell and rather critical most of the time.

Only if I find a new fave series, then I'll do some editing. Otherwise I am pretty solid on my faces list. I don't really look at it a lot anymore considering it moved spots.

I don't know why people say there are no good animes. There are a lot of good animes, but I have seen just as many bad animes as good animes. Even looking at my score you can tell I have seen animes I consider pretty fucking bad lol. But there are also many animes I enjoy and I like giving them all the same amount of love (even though there are animes I enjoy more than others).

Not especially. I could probably change 2 of them on my list, at the moment. I remember thinking the world of Clannad: After Story for almost 2 years after having finished it, but I would probably switch it out, if I were to update my list now. Same for Spice & Wolf. I enjoyed the fuck out of it, but I would probably switch it out.

I don't change it too often. I consider the addition of Cardcaptor Sakura to my favourites list to be relatively recent even though I completed it more than a month ago and I already had it in my favourites before I completed it. I'm watching Fullmetal Alchemist right now so that could make it into my favourites.

I don't change it often because I rarely find any 9/10 or 10/10 series. And even if I come across those series, it doesn't necessarily mean they will automatically make it in my favorite list. It has to be special to me.

One thing is for sure, is that some changes will be made this year for my anime favorite list.

L should remain in everyone's top favorites because he is L and L is love, L is life.

L should run for president.

Vote for L!

My top 5 has only changed once in 2 years. I doubt an anime will captivate me like death note or code geass, or steins gate for a long time. Berserk is the only anime to exceed my expectations enough to jump to #4 in my list. The way new anime is looking though I don't see any changes to my top 5 for a long time, but many changes in my top 15-10.

I'm still pretty new to the whole anime scene, so I'm constantly coming across shows I actually like more than anything I've seen before, so I don't feel weird changing it up.

This for me when it comes to Illya, Break, Kano, Madotsuki, Nanami and Sachiko. They're the six characters that will not get removed from my list no matter what(Well, for Sachiko, there's a slim chance but I doubt she'll ever be taken off)

Nope, very rarely.

Unless the anime is related to my favorites, It's very difficult to find anime which could become my new favorite nowadays.

I haven't updated it since i joined MAL. I should probably update my favorite character list since there are a few more characters I would call my favorites. But as for anime not yet. If anything I would update it to remove FMA: B. Since I love Toradora a million times more than anything else.

Never.

There is a reason I still only have 5 favorites when the system was upgraded to allow more. They are the only ones I've given a 10/10 to.

Aside from the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA.

I change my favorite anime whenever I find a new favorite, and as I've only completed 50 something anime, I still happens somewhat often. I took Kids on the Slope out because I can't really remember it or why I like it, I just remember really liking it so I'll have to rewatch it before adding it again. I took 5 cm per seconds out for the same reason until I rewatched it.

I have too many favorite characters that I can't really compare to each other, I used to change a couple of them like once or twice a month but have since given up. My favorite character list could easily include Nanami, L, Mankanshuko Mako, Gamagoori, Mikisugi, Ritsu Tainaka, Makise Kurisu, and many more but I lack the motivation or the desire to make a grid.

Not really. I only put 9s and 10s on it, and I don't find many of those; I've only seen four over the past two years. Most of my other favorites are stuff I saw as a kid and have a lot of nostalgia for.

Yes
For anime I only keep NGE at number 1 while the others I change my other favorite anime every now and then.
All the anime that I gave a 9/10 will fill in the rest and they will be changed every now and then TBH.
Manga. Rarely changes due to me not reading much manga.
Characters. Every now and then and sometimes I can just have all girls and all boys only.
People TBA.

I'm pretty much the same way. I have a few solid animes I won't change, but the rest can be up for debate.
BTW I see you liked rainbow. I'm currently on the last episode and it's better than most animes I have seen. I'm surprised I don't see more people talk about it.
