I don't think I'll be able to watch more than 2022. I'll be focusing more on completing lns

I'd like to reach 500 anime total by the end of this year, but it's kind of a vague "that would be really neat if it happens" kind of goal, and less of an "I'm devoting everything I possibly can to making sure I watch that much anime" kind of thing. That would be 300+ anime watched if I actually did it, though.

I'm already watching way more seasonals than I ever did at once last year, and I want to try and get into some longer-running series this year as well, finally... so I'll definitely be watching more this year, if I stick with it. :3

For seasonal anime , honestly it depends on how good the anime are . i'd say about 30 seasonal anime at least , maybe a few movies and around 70 - 80 anime .

Watch much less. Going to catch up on some more American animation. Haven't done much in the last 5-6 years

Aiming to up the total to 6969 entries by the end of the year though

Im going to say 45 series, so I should have 316 by the end of 2023. I normally watch 7+ seasonals, so with that I probably only need to watch 10 more here and there; maybe a movie or two.

Or maybe I start a long show like Yu Yu Hakusho or Sailor Moon and only get 35/45 done.

It's detrimental to set a number and end up setting yourself up for failure, when the due date arrives.
Looking back at how much I've seen in previous years, on my MALGraph. I can say with some confidence, that 80 series is a safe bet for me.
But that doesn't change the obvious, which is, "it all depends on how interesting the anime coming out will be".

I want to finish all the anime in my watching list that I started before 2023 which is just shy of 50.
I'd also like to watch some of the sequels I haven't seen and start working off my on-hold list (although that'll mainly be a 2024 project I suppose), lets be conservative and say that's another 20.
Currently I watch about 10 seasonals every season so that'd be another 40, I could see this getting pushed to 50.
I also want to explore some already existing stuff I haven't seen yet at a rate of about 3-4 new anime per month so that'd be about 40 more.

So about 150-160 anime hopefully.

The similar amount as last year. Somewhere between 40 and 50, movies, music videos and rewatching included.

Good question. I might end up watching more shows like I might end up watching less. We'll have to wait and see.
But for now, I have 151 animes on my plan watch list. I hope theyre gonna be really good shows!

Probably a few more than last year. My goal in terms of anime premiering this year is 40, which is roughly what I logged for 2022. 
In terms of older anime, then, I'm aiming for around 50, in terms of entries, not necessarily separate franchises. So, say, the three seasons of Symphogear I haven't seen yet would count, or the separate parts of Re:Zero s2. 

I've made master lists of all the anime I might watch, and it's about 400-500, so I'm not too bothered at that pace - I don't want to burn myself out, and I never want to run out of things to watch that I'm interested in.

I just have plans to follow new anime that come out so it's hard for me to say how much I'll watch, I just hope it'll be a fruitful year.

I'm hoping to watch at least 100 anime this year as I want to greatly broaden my tastes. Looking forward to the AWC for that!

considering Winter 2023 is STACKED with anime I like, I think I'll watch more, but I am slowly trying to finish up some of my holding anime from back in 2015 through 2018 that have been sitting there for almost a decade lol so yes, I think I'll watch more this year. Bit it really depends on how much time I have after work.

Last year I saw 33 animes and in 2021 I saw 35, I guess I'll see a little more or some close number this year, since I should see more pending anime from last year and not new ones from this year (unless they are continuations)

Generally, I watch around 100-150 titles in a year.  Around 60 of those are seasonal shows and the rest are usually completed shows/movies/ovas.

2022's total was 102

Watched 123 titles in 2022.
This year I'm on pace to hit near 400.
Although, I probably won't hit that. I've been watching a lot of short stuff recently.
250 is probably more likely.

EDIT: It ended up being exactly 300.

As much as I can! The 2020s is when I became a true anime fan, even though I've been watching since the early 2000s. My progress is so much faster than in the past 19 years now that I've also started watching while at work.
My Anime-Planet account before I left it for MAL is at 490. Now I have nearly 1300. It looks like I can watch, on average, 270 per year.

I'm on a good roll with my current schedule. If I keep that up, I could reach 1K episodes by the end of the year.

So what's up with planning to watch anime? Like I was planning to watch some shows I liked, but you guys treat this piece of disposable entertainment that barely qualifies as a hobby, as some kind of job.

After this season, I'm gonna try to hold myself to no more than 15 per season (except for summer) since uni is really beating my ass right now. So with just seasonals, that'd be some where around 80 or 90 depending on how much airs in summer, and how I decide which ones to keep up with this year. Of course, that also doesn't count anime that has already come out that I want to watch.

I don't watch animation works at a very fast pace, so I hope to see about 25 works. I watched some short animations last year that were quite good, so I would like to find and watch more this year.

I didn't set a goal number this year. The last two years I set a 120 anime goal and met that last year and in 2021 I saw 180. I just decided to go more with the flow this year and try not to stretch myself too thin and force myself to watch things that I don't enjoy just to reach a set goal. I do want to reach 1400 anime in my list though so that would mean 82 anime (I've completed 4 this year so far so that's 78 more). If I don't reach it though then I'll just do it next year, but it'd be nice if I could...

I don't set any "goals", why would I?, I just start stuff and see what happens.
I will still watch a minimum of 60 seasonals + 50 one-cour shows, that much is guaranteed, it happens every year.

Looking very likely I cross the 4000 mark in the coming days with my binging of music videos for MAL-Badges. So think, I'll increase my goal to 5000 titles I cross over into for this year for my list.

At my current pace, I'll be damned if I finish 20.
