I mean, I haven't updated my PTW in a while, so there are some titles I need to remove that I'm not longer interested in. Other than that, I'd say reasonably I could see myself watching most of the titles one day... in the far, far future. I guess I'm bad at planning, I often finding myself watching anime on an impulse. Seasonal anime gets in the way as well. Seasonal anime isn't even really worth it.

My PTW is supposed to be anime that hasn't aired yet, but on second thought, they're just seasonal anime that interest me before they are aired.

In short, it's kind of what the title says.

Yeah, usually I like to use it when I don't have any ideas on what to watch next.

Some stuff I might not watch, but at least most of them will be watched eventually.

Same, I will add anything that catches my interest and then go though my PTW whenever I feel like it's got too many shows.
Anything that's been there too long or I'm no longer interested in gets the boot.

Yes. I recently cleared a bunch of stuff out I don't see myself realistically getting to.

how many threads created around this question? lol

for me it's lost for future watch. if i will watch them or not it's question of many differences.

I would like to watch them all eventually, and I do watch anime from my ptw, but it's like this river that keeps slowly flowing and expanding.

It's just a way to narrow down the limitless options over time, rather than being overwhelmed at once. I want to watch everything on my PTW, but since it's usually growing faster than I can watch, realistically that's not going to happen.

Well when I'm looking for new things to watch after finishing my current anime, I just scroll through that list and pick one that seems interesting. Then it's just rinse and repeat.

It used to be anything I found interesting I would add to it but then I had way too many so I trimmed it down a lot. Now it is really things I plan on watching.

Yes, I use it as kind of an on deck list. Whenever I finish watching a show I typically will rotate whatever is on my PTW list unless I am really in the mood for something different.

Yeah I have seen your PTW but I see nothing is wrong with that? Which part that I should be mad? Though I find it strange that you put Gintama° which is Gintama season 4 so I thought you have watched all the previous seasons but turns out you didn't 🤔

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start

I'm the same way in the sense that I use my PTW list as a self-recommendation guide for myself mostly. I also add upcoming sequels and recommendations from others as well.

The interesting thing about my PTW list is that I've been methodically adding anime I'm most interested in from the 70s all the way to present (currently at 2005). My PTW list basically encompasses all the remaining shows I have left to watch, excluding future seasonals.

Hypothetically, if I were to actually sift through the whole list, it would mean that there would be nothing else to really see - I'd be totally caught up. All that'll remain are the future releases and re-watches.

I don't use my PTW list as intended; it's to keep track of how much anime I have left to watch. Basically like a filtered database without all the fluff.

It's not too bad, I figured out it's the best way how I can watch more anime faster. It takes me longer to finish 1 series but I end up watching more anime this way. And it's good because i'm able to discuss more anime with people and friends when i've seen more anime even if I don't complete them i'm still watching them and able to talk about them.

Sometimes, I usually put anime into PTW because it's a continuation/additional of anime I've watched or I think it's still interesting, even though I'm more interested in new anime/titles that I've never watched

Plan to watch are mostly the anime I think I will watch sometime, or the anime that caught my eye but I had no immediate will to watch them, so those animes are also there in PTW.

Irony is many animes in my PTW are there from years, and now I have even stopped adding anything in that list😂.

Yes. Most of it is sequels and upcoming ones that I will most definitely watch.
