| So, I was looking at a couple of profiles, and I noticed that some people have seen about 200-300 anime. Where do you guys get the time to do this? I have a ton of anime that I would like to watch, but I never get the time to do so. |

| Disregard social life, watch anime. |
| I'm a student and surprisingly I don't get a big work load of homework, so I'll sometimes watch anime to simply kill time but I love it a lot! :D I do have a social life though xD |
 |
| They win at lottery and stay at home watching some animu. If you don't win, then start by ignoring people close to you and don't spent to much time outside. Mmkay. You are probably still in school? Pretend to be sick every 2 weeks to get moar free time. Seriously, I don't care. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| well most anime are only 13-26 episodes. Which would be 2600-5200 episodes of anime. So if you watch an average of 5 episodes a day, which isn't even 2 hours, after a few years you've reached 200 shows. |
 |
| Well, I started in high school, so I've had plenty of time since then. And pretty much all free time in the army went to gaming or watching something. And it's even easier when you multitask. Most anime are pretty generic and predictable, so it's not like you have to keep your eyes on the screen all the time. And for those odd moments of boring filler or dragged out but unimpressive fights, you can always fast forward. |
| I've started watching Anime near the end of my high school time and now its near the end of my college years. It just basically adds up day after day, either it be one episode a day or 3 episodes a week |
| I have no life..xD |
| Time management or sacrifice your time and devote it to anime. |
| I don't watch so many anime... |
| That's what I'm wondering too... I really like anime, but I just don't have the time for them anymore (not really, but my schedule is very tight). |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Don't have that many anime watched but it's easy, really. Isolate myself inside my room. Watch anime nonstop. Next day go to school discuss with buddies. Rinse and repeat. Do take note that I'm in high school so there's plenty of free time. |
| If you watch animes for more than 10 years, you'll get to that number too. At least that happened to me (but now getting busier, don't have too many free time to watch them anymore) . |

| Been watching for a long, long time. |

| I started watching anime when I was 10, 10 years later and the numbers just accumulate over that time period. |
 |
| This is a great question. I wish i could squeeze 2 to 3 hours a day for it but i just cant anymore I dont know where people find the time |
| Some people watch animes since long ago , some are NEETs , some just spend their whole free time doing so , etc. it isnt the big deal. |
| I watch on the way to school, (Bus, train, bus), watch during breaks between class, watch more on the way back home, watch when i get home, watch when i wake up before going to school. Yeah..... |
| I can easily watch 5 or 6 episodes a day without afecting my social and profissional life! Of course somedays I don't watch at all, and somtimes I can watch an entire 13 episode series on a day-off. As simple as that. Its the same with movies. When Im in the mood for them I can easily watch 1 or 2 movies without losing sleep hours, missing work or disregarding social life. There is time for everything really. Also dont forget that some of those lists have a lot of short anime like movies, OVAs and specials. |
 |
| Well, my good man, life's all about choices. Now, which of these would you want, if you could only choose 1: -A social life. -An income. -Good grades. -Sleep. -A long list of completed anime. That's pretty much how it works. :P |
| Lol thats not really true. Watch some anime here and there and you'll have a big list eventually. \o/ |
| If I can convert all my gaming times for the last 10 years, I think I could get 1000 anime list easily lol |
| Over time my friend, over time. |
 |
| I think it also depends on if the animes you are watching are long or short. A friend of mine has watched much more series than I have yet I have spend more time on it. Her animes are all around 13 episodes as were mine tend to be around at least 60. So that gives me a smaller list, yet I haven't watched less. Anyway I do admit I don't have a life sometimes xD |
| Doesn't you have two hours per day for watching anime? I think if you work 8 hours + 2 hours of driving moving losing, 2 more hours for dinner, 8 hours for sleeping, you have 4 hours free, this depend how you manage, if you have social life then not, if you haven't so much then you have the time. Also there are a lot of people who doesn't work neither study and they have the time to watch 20 episodes and have social life. But you can watch 5 - 6 animes per day without problem! And weekend more!! |
| My list spans about 4 years of watching anime with some regularity with on and off times, right now I have 7 series I'd like to finish but can't come around to do so. |
| I rarely go out during the day.. so I watch a lot of anime then, but night time is socializing time with friends. I'd quite like a longer list though.. |
 |
| How long have you been watching anime, OP? I've been watching anime for almost 3 years now, and the amount of completed anime will increase over time. |
 |
| Most people have watched anime over a span of many years so the numbers don't actually mean much. Obviously this isn't always the case as there are people who do actually watch a ton of anime in a relatively short period of time. |
 |
| Keep in mind MAL's system -- random extra things like Unaired Episode XX, picture dramas, omake episodes, and other short items are counted as separate entries. So it's quite easy to +1 that entry count with the watching time of one or two standard episodes. Plus there are lots of genuinely short OVAs that only have 1-3 episodes. |
| Yeah, yeah. I have an extensive list. As stated before, I've been at it a long time. Just remember, there are no prizes for accumulating a long list. That list and $3 won't get you a latte at Starbucks. |

You spent almost an year of your life watching anime, not that it's bad or anything but I hope I never reach that amount it would feel like wasted time to me. |
| One or two shifts a week at my job, no university until next year and all my friends are two or more hours away. That's about it. I have all the time in the world. |

Lots of other books have gone to charity. % wise, it is all relative. Besides how many hours/days do people significantly younger than me have invested in watching Tv in general, and how about hours and hours spent with video games. Again, it's all relative.lisnoire said: Yeah, yeah. I have an extensive list. As stated before, I've been at it a long time. Just remember, there are no prizes for accumulating a long list.

| I don't have life.. but I haven't watched more than 139 titles.. School Days taken my life away from me forever.. and now I try.. survive with anime. |

| I'm unemployed at the moment so right no I have time to watch almost how much anime I want but I still have somewhat of a social life, since I get out sometimes and meet with my friends and such. But before when I was still in school we didn't have much homework to do so I could watch alot at that time to so there is no probs for me |

I guess I'm included in this. I have a lot of time to watch since university doesn't start till next year also XD. But back to the question. I think it just takes time to accumulate a list of anime since it's highly unlikely to have completed 50+ within a month, unless ur watching it 24/7. |

| Reading the posts about how much time you all have at university, I'm beginning to wonder if I might be doing something wrong here... I actually startet to watch anime at the same time I went to university, about two years ago. And I just don't have enough time to watch more than one or two episodes every other day ever since. But granted, I would never skip an episode, fast-forward or multitask during any kind of anime or movie. |

Anime isn't my top but it is up there with all my others. |
| Honestly, if you streamline anime into your life its not hard to watch so much. Luckily my parents are into anime so I watched with family. Join anime club make friends, now your social gatherings are to watch anime series and talk about it. Lastly, being in college naturally gives you more time. Or have a full time job where you can watch it at work (I was working at engineering firm and I watched almost 13 eps season a day) ^^ Also I have this weird habit of anytime I ever eat a meal at home, I must watch an episode of anime while I eat. ~.~ Dunno why, guess otherwise im staring at a wall stuffing my face. (Does anyone else do this?!) |
 |
| Because you don't APPLY yourself man. |
| I've been watching anime on and off for 13 years, most of which was seen when I was at 6th form (I'm English) and at university, so of course my numbers build up steadily. Now that I'm working full time I doubt that I'll be watching as much as last year... |
