straight up facts i bet some people consume so much anime they forget that its 7 in the morning and mom just came in your room to get ready for school and you get the belt for a week. at least thats what my mom did when i was a kid.
what i never knew parents and their children sleep in separate rooms..lol

17 years of anime watching gets your list a little bigger than normal. However, I'm surprised I don't have that much over 1000 animes in my list. Sure some movies and OVAs but still. Could have watched up to 2-3k if I'd done it right.
Today, I may be a weak little bug that gets tossed in the wind,
washed away by the currents, and drowns, but tomorrow,
I may become the butterfly that spreads its colossal wings and flies the open skies!

"I just wonder, the people with over 1000 series completed. Has it built up for years?"

Decades in my case...I am actually a slow watcher.

Been watching anime for more than a decade now, done it pretty hardcore during the last 5 years as well, very close to hitting 365 days watched here on MAL.

I guess I do have a lot of free time, I'm not unemployed or anything, but due to the nature of my job I find time to watch anime at my workplace.

On top of my 950 TV anime entries completed, I have also competed:
701 OVAs
622 movies
582 Specials
411 ONAs
and 184 music videos listed on MAL.

I have been watching anime for over 20 years now, so needless to say I have watched quite a bit by now. Over 1000, counting my rewatched series and not counting specials, ovas etc.

lifetime anime watchers, I suppose. I know I'm not going to have those numbers unless I'm still watching in a decade, but I still think it's fairly impressive that I've gone from barely watching any anime beyond Ghibli to 142 completed entries. and if I finish all the fall shows I'm watching it will go up to 153. plus I'm planning on completing at least a half-dozen shows from earlier in the year. probably impossible to clear 200 this year, but 100 a year over ten years is 1000. keep in mind this counts movies and OVA and special episodes.

For me it's a mix of age, almost unique hobby and uninterest in having social life

Several years to get where I am now.

I used to be able to marathon whole seasons over weekends, but nowadays I just watch an episode or two after work on weekdays, and maybe 4 on a weekend if I'm up for it. Still adds up fairly quickly though

Short shows, ovas and music stuff.

How many people have a lot of series watched is a widely regarded question and the main answer to that is caffeine, coc-ine, Adderall and/or sleep deprivation.

Realistically, there are people that watch anime religiously 8+ hrs a day and have been doing it since 2000s or earlier.
