| For the most part, for me, Ill wait till its done but only If its a show which I think looks awesome then I but if its a show that I dont really care much about or maybe because I already read the manga then I watch it as it airs. Why is because I like to binge watch and just waiting for the next episode is just torture when compared to waiting till its done. The pain will go soon and then you can sort of forget about it and then come back when its done or when theirs tons of episodes out for long running shows like One Piece. One episode a week just wont cut it for that! What about the rest of you? How do you prefer watching and why? |

| I wait until it's complete. I don't like waiting on episodes lol. So I'll wait for the whole series and watch freely. Also gives me the option to binge watch the series if I like it enough. Although, I don't plan to be doing that... I typically watch 2 episodes max these days in one sitting. There's plenty of other anime for me, amongst the anime universe, so waiting on one while I watch others isn't a problem for me. Some cases I'll even wait for Dubs to finish despite the sub being finished. (I did this for Sword Art Online II and Noragami Aragoto) |

| I always wait till it finishes airing, I dont like getting into a anime and then waiting week by week just to watch 1 episode each time, its frustrating |

| Both. I watch them as they are airing. But, I like to get one or two that I missed :) |
 |
| I've become quite reluctant about watching airing anime. It frustrates me and it's hard to keep the pace week by week. So lately I've been reducing airing shows and watching more completed stuff. |
| Mostly I watch them as they air, unless every episode ends in a cliffhanger, hate that shit (like Boku dake, can't keep watching until it's complete) |
| I prefer watch anime as they air, interesting or not, |

ryukan said: i watch all of the airing shows, except for some exceptions like hq. i wait until it's finished so that i can watch them in one-go (i don't like waiting a week for other half of the match you know? it ruins the fun) so basically sports are an exception if there's something amazing (for example boku dake now), i think i'll re watch it after it finishes airing ^^ Fomkin said: Mostly I watch them as they air, unless every episode ends in a cliffhanger, hate that shit (like Boku dake, can't keep watching until it's complete) Same. Im waiting on Boku Dake aswell. One....more...week......the wait for Steins;Gate 0 is literally gonna kill me! |

| i pick some for weekly show, the rest after its complete. mostly for slice of life genre, if it has strong drama, i will wait until its complete or after get a major spoiler. |
 |
| Depends. If it's a cliffhangerful thriller like Erased , then I just marathon it. If it's a great comedy like KonoSuba , then watch it weekly. Cause why waiting? |
 |
| I don't usually bother with new stuff unless I watch it while it's airing. If I want to watch anime that's already complete there are plenty of those already so I don't need to wait for airing anime to finish before I can watch it. Watching anime as it's airing gives a sense of community, like how we all complained about One Punch Man being overrated. There are several moe anime airing this coming season and although there are plenty of completed moe anime that I haven't seen yet, I still want to watch the new ones while they're airing because that's part of the fun. You can brag about having watched masterpieces while they aired or complain about watching the sludge from the bottom of the garbage can while it aired. If you watched it right after it was done then your experience will be similar to someone who saw it a year after it aired. |

| I only binge watch so no airing anime for me. |
| Well I usually watch just airing shows, but if a show from that season catches my interest and I don't have time for it I usually marathon it before the new anime season starts. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I watch it after it finishes airing, the long-running ones are the exceptions though. Oh and One Punch-Man too, I watched that as it aired... Even though I did watch the first 7 eps and then binge watched the last five after it finished airing. |
| Thinking..... |
| I'll start watching them when they air, forget about half of them and binge watch those when they're finished. Someday. |
| Ur lame OP for not making a poll out of this .-. Makes life easier.. For me it depends....but i tend to wait until more episodes are out and then dive into it >:3 |
| If the anime catch my interest then I'll watch it weekly, I can't stand the wait. |

| I choose one thats airing and watch that while watching a different anime.Then I watch the rest if the shows after their done airing. |
 |
| After. There's no point watching one that is airing, what with fanbases refusing to admit their anime is flawed. |
  |
| Most of the time, it's completed shows, but it happens that I watch airing show. I prefer the first one, but I won't particularly wait for a show to be completed ; it's just there are already completed shows to watch anyway. |
| I usually prefer to wait Untill it's done airing. Can't seem to get coherency otherwise.. Unless of course the hype is so fucking real that I can't go on living without trying it out. I think I'm gonna have to watch SnK 2 while airing to stay on top of the hype/salt train.. |
| With all the cliffhangers that some anime has I'd rather marathon it than think for the whole week: "omg, what will happen? will he/she die???!". Still, excitement burn calories a bit |
 |
| I watch while its airing. I'm not really one to procrastinate things. |

| I prefer to watch anime as they air, but lately I've been waiting a few weeks for new episodes to air and then I'll marathon what's out. Some shows are better week by week (Dagashi Kashi) and others are better marathoned (Haikyu!!) |
| Airing. Once I'm behind by a few weeks, it's either I push through the gap or drop it entirely. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I do both. I watch enough airing that waiting for the next episode doesn't bother me, sure I'm curious, but I can wait and I always have completed anime I can watch. |
| I can't watch when airing. The feeling of wanting to watch more episodes but you can't is so horrible... So yeah, I always wait till it is finished so that I can enjoy all my evening watching it ! \(^-^)/ |
 |
| Depends on the genre really, if its a mystery, I think binge watching it is the way to go cause waiting a week between episodes just kills the mood for me. If it's mostly mindless action then watching it weekly would be fun |
| I like to wait until it is done airing so I can watch everything at once. I am impatient when it comes to waiting for episodes every week! xD |
| Unlless it's an anime like Naruto Shippuden or Fairy Tail I usually wait until it has aired completely. I planned to do the same thing with KonoSuba and Dagashi Kashi but I got curious. I don't regret it though, loved KonoSuba. |
| Watch them as they air. Marathoning stuff is really hard when you have ADHD. Watching 9 episodes of Gundam: IBO took me like 4 days. And I only forced myself to do it because I had already watched the first 14 episodes. |

| I think watching anime as they air is better time management, so I usually go with that. I'm not against binge watching 3 seasons of an anime in one sitting though. |
| Depends quite a bit on the show. I tend to pick about 6-7 shows that I find interesting each season, and watch them as they air, while having some other shows that I'll watch once they finished. |
 |
| For me it depends how much I like the anime. If I really like it I usually watch it as it's being aired because I can't wait for it. |
| As it's airing. I don't mind waiting a week for each episode. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
