It happens a lot where I’ll see a second meme from X TV show and will be like “woah! That looks like fun! I should add it to my PTW!”

But then when I get on MAL and search it, I find out it was already on there. At least I’m constant on shows that look interesting…

Notes: I haven't touched my PTR in ages lol. I just start reading things instead of putting them on there. I mostly do this because I update my lists once a week though.


I use my PTR as “read when/if we ever get an English paperback version”

Most of the things there don’t ever make it to reading ๐Ÿฅฒ

I do hope I get to clear those things since my watching list is getting full of anime that I must watch first since finding it on my ptw list is so tedious so I find shows that are basically good and put them on the watching list so I know what to watch first

Holy- what the- oh my- you-

Wow, that was truly incredible and touching. You just said everything I feel and love about watching anime but can’t put into words. Here, you earned two cookies! hands them over

This was also eye-opening, yeah, no need to rush though my PTW quickly as possible, it’ll have less meaning and I’ll just burn myself out.

So thanks!

anime PTW length: 428

manga PTR length: 1

main source of finding shows to add: For anime it's MAL and I usually just add anything and everything that catches my eye. For manga it's anime that I have some sort of interest in (usually to check out how it was adapted). And if it's a manga with no anime adaptation I don't PTR it but just search for ideas when I feel like picking up a manga.

priority on clearing your PTW: Low. I'm not in a rush to clear it, I watch/read at whatever pace suits me that day.

Main source of finding shows to add: these days, it's on MAL

priority on clearing your PTW: probably low

Notes: I use my PTW/PTR as my sole source for things to read or watch. If it never winds up on there, in 99.9% of cases, it's never getting watched or read. Thus they end up kinda bloated because I like to give things a try. There's basically zero chance I ever clean out either, lol, but that's just how it is. I wanna watch as much as I can but I also don't like overloading myself, and any time I've tried to binge things it's only hurt the experience. What's the point of a fun hobby if you take all the fun out of it?

Anime PTW length: 180 (+51 on-hold)

Manga PTR length: 24

Main source of finding shows to add:
Seasonal anime listings, recommendations from anime discussions, looking through genre lists, etc.

Priority on clearing your PTW:
Medium to low. I do generally check my PTW and On-Hold lists first before I start a new show, but while watching I usually find like 3-5 others related to the one I'm watching in some way that then get added instead, making the list grow instead of shrink ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Priority on clearing your PTR:
High. Manga are easy to binge read so it's usually more an issue of availability rather than not wanting to read them yet. If I find a way to read them, I usually do.

Notes:
I wish it was easier to remove anime from my list on mobile. Especially with seasonal shows, I mainly add them to recieve notifications when they come out, but if I hear bad stuff about them I might decide not to watch them after all, but removing them is a serious hassle on mobile, so they tend to just stay in the list even when I don't intend to watch them anymore.

priority on clearing your PTW: As soon as the show airs and can be added to watching list

Notes: It's been like this for several years now. At first, I also had a long intimidating list of about 120+ anime and the easiest way to clear that list was to just delete everything without mercy. I figured that if I truly wanted to watch something I'd find it anyway either through genres, recommendations or simply by remembering. If I forgot about something so be it, means I didn't really want to watch it. I decided to only watch things that I'm in the mood for without any pressure to complete just for completion. Long lists can confuse the perfectionist inside me but watching anime is supposed to be an enjoyable process not a goal, and there is no need to rush. I only use PTW for seasonals because it's convenient this way.
