Hey! So I like watching anime on my desktop, but I feel like I can never get in a comfortable position to watch it in. If you watch anime on your desktop for hours, how do you sit so your back doesn't hurt or you don't start getting uncomfortable?

Is this a serious question?
"How do I sit for so long?"
With anime it's easy, you watch your 20 minutes episode... and you can take... A BREAK! stand up! go for the bathroom, strech, do something, and come back.
Sitting without moving for hours will hurt, especially if you're not sitting right.

It just happens when you're really into a show. You tend to forget about your sitting position.

I have my desktop PC with my 3TB HDD with anime connected through Wifi to a 40'' Smart TV. I watch anime while I'm sitting or lying on the couch.

When I'm at LAN events and sit for hours upon hours, the position usually just happens. But here's how you're supposed to sit: (To not get back damage etc.)

For really long sessions, I'd rather just sit like that (And get up sometimes to stretch, 'cause you don't want any blood clots in your legs n' shit.) to not get back pain later in life.

Back pain sucks.

Since I pretty much do everything at my computer now (work, email, watch anime, etc) I invested in a comfortable office chair. If you do this, be sure to make an effort to move around, go out, etc. You don't want to get too comfortable sitting at your computer all day.

If I'm going to be sitting somewhere watching a lot of streaming anime, I usually do it on my laptop computer and connect it via HDMI cable to the television in my room. Then I just sit in bed and watch it on the (much bigger) monitor.

DVD and BDs are also watched in the same manner only through my BD player and surround sound system.

Yooo, are you me? You even have a beverage with a straw, that's creepy bro.

To OP, invest in a La Z Boy chair. Just a fair warning though, once you go La Z, ever other chair is going to fucking suck.
Assume nothing, expect everything.

Just lean on the chair or take a nap for a minute to refresh both your mind and body

I put the animu in the External HD, put it on my TV, then lay on my bed most of the time.

OR

basically what Romagia drawn.
