Title explains it. What are some goals that you set for yourself as an anime watcher or a manga reader?

For me
As an anime watcher it is:
Finish the Big Three (Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto) I've only seen bleach and Naruto
Watch a years worth of anime (that's probably not going to happen for another 2 years)

As a manga reader:
Finish the Four Kings of Manga (Berserk, Vinland Saga, Vagabond, and Kingdom)

as a watcher, probably stop procastinating (i watch 1-2 anime at once)
as a reader, i am already caught up, Jojolion ended and so did Runway, but i need to finish the latter in case i want to start more manga, i can't keep track at everything at once, and most anime i plan to watch are based on source material, with certain ones based of sources i read prior to the anime

Don't really have a goal but seems like this;

Anime; Watch and enjoy only the shows you know you'll like. Skip everything else.

Manga; Basically the same as anime but read instead of watch.

I'm not putting some milestones to do, seems a pain in the a** making sure to stick to it.
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 hope you'll enjoy One Piece when you decide to give it a try, as someone who already watched a lot of one piece i can say that it seems hard in the start but as you get through the first arcs it become a great journey, by the end you start complaining why there isn't more of one piece and waiting a week for a new episode will make you go crazy LOL
also i'm sure watching hentai is better than just reading it.

i've got a lot of anime watching goals, but it's pretty easy to sum those up with "watch more from your plan to watch list".

for manga it's pretty similar, except it's more like "read the volumes you've purchased, which are gathering dust on your desk".

@AquaBlue-sama FYI, that is one of the worst opinions to be sure of. incredible vision, detail and craftsmanship put into an erotic art passion project, that is a hentai doujin >>>>>>>>> trash tier low budget, low effort, minimum production quality and competencey tied in a bow by a shit hentai studio, as a crappy hentai adaptation of some such quality doujins.

For anime it's pretty much get more into the magical girl genre and expand the amount of pre 2000's titles I have seen and that is about it.

For manga it's actually to read it. I have bought volumes that are just laying around that I haven't touched.

If you read all of mine, I'm going to ruin all the fun out of people

Currently:
500 days (includes rewatching). Need 10 more days as that's what I'm aiming for
Max out all genres in MAL Badges except Cars, Vampire, and Yaoi (in other words, only one left is Police) with 100 entries at least completed
Work on lowering On-Hold which is just a bunch of recaps/summaries/alt versions
Never drop
Watch every franchise related entry defined by MALGraph if I chose to add on my list and locate them to start watching. Must watch all even the ones I don't like. (I don't do complete franchises when a show premiers on television and I watched it without needing to "seek" for it and didn't add to my PTW which means I didn't have intended interest from the start)

If I'm really bored, I'll consider, but not likely
10 entries per page. Right now I have at least 8 entries per page (50 entries) each page through top rated 10000, maybe like 4 pages had only 8 entries and not 10 entries. Rest are double digits. Was thinking of making this a flat 10/50 so that's 20%, but I haven't determined that yet

COMPLETED:

+5000 completed
+35000 episodes
+60 MALGraph Achievements
+1000 TV / 1000 Movies / 1000 OVAs / 500 ONAs / 500 specials club
+Maintain 50% pervert status per MALGraph
+Watched at least 10% of all studios' works that produced 100+ works
+Complete at least 25% of ALL anime in MAL database
+Complete at least 500 unique franchises defined by MALGraph and finish all possible associated entries (if I can find them)
+Watched 365.25 days of anime

Other than that, I finished these at certain point in the year(s) past:
+Watch at least 1 DIFFERENT franchise with its earliest released TV series air date (to qualify) of EVERY SINGLE SEASON since 2000 (later franchise entries, even though there are significantly different casts, do not qualify). It has to be a TV series and not a movie, ONA, OVA, or special. Any sequels, prequels, side stories, alternative versions, alternative settings, and spin-offs made AFTER do not qualify. Ex: anything Fate after F/SN Deen does not qualify because F/SN Deen is the earliest incarnation and even if you watched the later Fates FIRST before Deen's version, it doesn't count until you watch Deen.
+Complete the top 100 in popularity on all entries with < 150 episodes.
+Complete all top 50 rated entries (excludes currently airing since it's impossible to complete)
+Completed 3 TV length sized franchises (and all of its contents) per Alphabet letter (also #)
+90% of top 250 most popular MAL entries completed
+Watched years worth of shows (includes rewatching)
+90% of top 250 rated MAL entries completed
+Watched all Top 25 rated movies
+Reached level 3s or max level in all MALGraph genres
+From 1980 to 1989: watch at least an entry and it's all franchise entries associated (if possible)
+From 1990 to 2000: complete all of its franchise entries after selecting a UNIQUE franchise entry among this period as its representation. Can be TV/movie/OVA. So if you choose say Winter 1991 DBZ Movie, then you cannot use DBZ again as a representation for this and must complete (if possible) all of Dragon Ball related entries. At LEAST 2 TV entry representations per year.
+2001-2005: Only new introduced anime franchise TV entries count and must be unique. ONA/OVA/movies do not count. Complete all of its franchise components too that aired outside this period. The last digit of the year is the amount of TV that needs to be finished PER season i.e. 2005 = 5 TV entries PER season
+2006-2010: Same concept as 2001-2005 except continuous TV series counts now as "0.5" value.
+2011-2015: Same concept as 2001-2005 except OVAs/ONAs/Movies in total summation can count IF the duration is as long as a typical 1-cour TV length series. Last digit no longer applies, but must watch 10 EQUIVALENT TV length series per season
+2016-2020: ONLY TV counts. 10 TV entries per seasons

tl;dr I'm fucking nuts

Anime goals: watch more 2000s shows, which I'm currently doing. I want to appreciate the 2000s a bit more. Get back into watching mecha. Rewatch LoGH remake before the next season comes out. Stop adding new shows to my list (I find myself always adding, but I think I need to stop and to watch what's already on my list). Watch more anime than the previous year. I think I watched 65 shows (including sequels) last year, so I want to watch at least 66 this year. I'm at 45 right now (without including the seasonals I'm watching), 53 with seasonals.

Manga goals: just finishing what I started.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

As an anime watcher my goal is slowly nibbling away at series I have been for too long procastrinating, like LOGH, Monster, Planetes, Cowboy Bebop. Every year I watch one or two of these kind of shows, so slowly I will get to the end of it. Then I am planning to start rewatching series I enjoyed much in the past that is around 10-15% of my completed list.
With regard to manga reading I don't have much of a plan, not likely I will ever get into manga.

It'll probably take years for it to have a full adaptation. I think that won't happen any time before 2025. I wouldn't wait that long if I were you.

Well, I've been meaning to get into Gundam (thanks to my EVA obsession) for some time now so that's probably my current goal.

As per manga, I need to read more of Urusawa and Inoue's works, also Asano because from what I've heard, he's works might also be up my alley. Berserk too.

You got me sweetie.


Actually i've bookmarked over 50 animes on Tachiyomi app, dozens of them i've read before gain anime adaptation.

Today i still creating courage to watch Jujutsu Kaisen, but i don't have any particular goals regarding anime or manga, but LN is a different story, recently i've finished reading the main series of Highschool DxD (despite skipping side stories) and i've downloaded Konosuba main series LN starting from Volume 6, i have plans for finish the story before a third, fourth or fifth season.

Reading is fascinating in its own way.

Complete the original Mobile Suit Gundam trilogy+Char's Counterattack. I finished the original from 1979 and am about halfway through Zeta Gundam.

Complete the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross and Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Finish watching every Pretty Cure season in time to catch up to the latest season in Tropical Rogue. I'm currently on KiraKira A La Mode (2017) and only have Huggto (2018), Star Twinkle (2019), and Healin' Good (2020) left before reaching 2021's Tropical Rogue.

Finishing catching up on the Pretty series (currently on Pripara) so I can watch Kiratto Prichan as it wraps up this year.
