| Yes, I don't have that many other means of entertainment, so I resort to anime. |
 |
| I am a partial completionists. Unless, the anime is really really bothersome i wont drop it. No, its not because its a job or bragging something like that. Its because there are many anime which gets really enjoyable in latter episode/ season compared to initial episode/ season. This has happened to me a lot. Even their are some anime which I have dropped turned out to be fun when I watched it latter on. So Its still all about enjoyment. |

| I only watch for enjoyment, that's the main reason my list will take a long time to reach 200 anime. I respect completionist people, but that's nor for me. |

| I don't drop anime unless its unbearable to get through. I've only dropped one so far and I do eventually plan to finish it. As for why I don't drop anime, I just really don't like leaving things unfinished in general. Not really a great reason for wasting my time but I wasn't planning on doing anything else with that time so it works out fine. I do watch anime for entertainment. It's just that not everything I pick ends up being enjoyable. |

| It's mainly for entertainment but there are a couple anime on my list that I just forced myself to complete even though they were so hard to watch just because sometimes I like to finish what I start a lot of my dropped anime will probably be picked up again sometime though. |
| Hardcore fans? Completionists? Promiscuous shiteaters with insecurity they are. Dropping and putting things on hold is essential and is a sign of maturity. That points out that a person does have their own taste. |
 |
| Sounds like some of the people on these romcom manga comment section like domekano or kanokari that spend their entire time shitting on them yet can never seem to miss a single update, I personally could never imagine. |
| Unless you're a paid critic the only reason to watch anime is for entertainment. Unpaid critics may or may not watch anime for entertainment but they are entertained by their commentary, or the reception it receives, otherwise they wouldn't be putting in any work. In summary, those that watch anime seek to be entertained, whether or not that is achieved doesn't negate their primary motivation. Not too many people actually set out watching something and say to themselves before even starting "this is crap, I'm really going to hate this" and press play, besides the masochists. |

| idk why else i would watch anime for, if not for entertainment and to enjoy a show |
 |
| I only watch them for entertainment. I've dropped about 1/10 of the shows I've started. I'm a patient guy and hope things will turn out better, but even I have limits. if a show bores me that much or downright offends me, it goes into the trash. no remorse. |

| "Do You Even Watch Anime For Entertainment Anymore?" Nope, I am doing it for the money, the fame and the groupies. Wait, I don't have any of those. |
| I watch anime because I like some animes, and I generally have nothing to do, so it gives me something to do. |
Lustrius said: The longer i've been in this community, the more i see hardcore fans and what you'll call "completionists" where they never ever drop an anime. As time goes on, I wonder, do people even watch anime for entertainment anymore? What i mean by that is how some might not even watch anime for entertainment or to past the time, but rather as an obligation or "job", if that's a good example. I've seen so many people on Mal torturing themselves and forcing themselves to watch shit shows they don't even enjoy, complaining about it, yet never drop it for whatever reason, which is just so bizarre to me.  Aah, those completionists, I wish I could relate haha. Ah no, wait, I don't want to relate. I don't understand people, who are so ambitious about completing a certain amount of anime, like... who even really cares what you have seen or not? Watching anime or reading manga is something you only do for yourself and it shouldn't feel like a chore. But I also wouldn't say it's just for entertainment. To me, fiction always has been a very important part of my life and not just entertainment, you know. Ofc some people in real life and so on are more important to me, but it's still very important to me, not only as entertainment or to kill time. |

| I do watch things that I'm not exactly enjoying sometimes. Either as a background as I do other stuff or because I'm curious about a new genre or style and want to give it a fair try. Sometimes I watch because some parts are exciting and I want to know more that I'm willing to sit through less exciting parts. The latter is what I'm currently doing. I'm watching Fruits Basket although I don't particularly like shoujo (not that it's bad, I'm just not the target audience). I have watched all of season 1 and now watching season 2 just for the tidbits that advance the zodiac family plot. I'm willing to sit through the cliched saccharine parts and put up with the kind of character I hate (the clumsy cute airhead who is always cheerful and nice to everyone) to see the better parts. I have it running while I'm working on other hobbies or doing light work, so it's not exactly a complete waste of time. Code Geas was another example. My eyes glazed over during mecha fights which made up a good portion of the show, but I loved most of the other parts and really liked the ending so it was really worth it. |

| Yes, for the most part, but too often lately I've been catching myself just watching an anime with little more than the sake of just finishing it to form an opinion on it and to become just slightly more well versed in the world of anime. Told myself that I'd probably just be a casual viewer for life, but lately it hasn't been that casual. I'm trying to take it more easy now and just watch when I want to, rather than forcing myself to power something that maybe I'm not even digging |

| I do watch anime for entertainment as I am very passionate about it. In recent days, I have felt that Myanimelist as a medium has been a sort of hindrance when it comes to my anime experience, but I can still handle it |

| I DO IT FOR DAT WATCH TIME BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII |

Vendea said: Eventhough I still hardly ever drop a show, I still take it as entertainment. For me, even shitty show are experience and they make me appreciate good shows even more. Do I suffer? Yes. But sometimes it can be rewarding, I've been finding lately that mana shows get better in the second half so it's worth a wait. And if not... well, no loss. It just helps me be more careful when picking what to watch next. Pretty much the same here as I try to enjoy them for what they are. |
| I only watch anime to accompany me eat something lately..so what is that called? |
| I definitely watch anime for entertainment but it's no longer the center of it. Nowadays I just watch anime when I feel like it and drop a show when I'm not enjoying it, as opposed to the earlier days when I tried to complete every series I started. |
 |
| always entertainment. i only watch things that really interest me. and yeah i dont get "completionists" either but ig Its an optimistic view for the show eventually getting better |

| That's what boredom and a lack of anything else decent to watch will do to you..Or at least that how it was for me when I first started watching...Before I realized that I don't actually have to finish everything I watch or watch literally everything that caught my attention. Too bad I was already several hundred anime in by then and had pretty much conditioned myself to finish everything. |
