Do you actually intend to watch every anime in your "Plan to Watch" list?

I assume most of us have like 80+ shows in our "Plan to Watch" list. Which probably keeps growing each season.
I have 100+ shows in my list. Some of those have been there for almost a decade and I still haven't seen them and probably never will. Although I know that I won't watch most of them, I just can't bring myself to delete them from the list. I always tell myself: "Maybe I'll be in the mood for this some time later." and that time never comes.

I've been deleting some shows in my PTW list, since I'll watch them sooner or later, and also I tend to add the ones I find really moe and leave there for when I feel like it.

So yeah, I watch but not all of them. If I had a list of works I actually plan to watch now, it would be way shorter.

I have nearly 200 anime in my PTW, and yes, I do eventually intend to watch them all.

I have over 400 titles. I plan to watch them. But that's what it is, they're just plans. Whether i get to really watching them depends on how long i have interest in anime and how much anime i am watching. I don't really wrry abt it and just keep adding more titles, sort them by priority and start with the high priority first

I do intend and plan to watch all of them at some point in time, the only problem is that it will take me who knows how long to get through all of these.

I guess? Maybe? At least I know there are the entries which might be interesting for me, although seeing a number of 2k shows in ptw isn't motivating...

I don't think I'll ever get through it because I keep rewatching the same twenty. :(

The only thing better than anime is anime with snacks.

Likely not everything, but it's an easy way to keep whatever piques my interest so that I don't lose track of them, lol.

59 shows at the moment. I will at least try them. My PTW list is made up of all upcoming anime anyway. I've already tried/completed every other finished anime I was interested in. Aside from 2! Which I will be giving a go soon.

My PTW is massive but a portions of them have been watched already however I didn't update them correctly in my list. Even after that there will still be many titles on it, so it's a slow grindy process of watching the actual PTW and updating correctly the ones I've already went through.

No, it's not the "Plan to Watch" list but "what if Covid returns and stuff like that where I find myself stuck at home with tons of free time?" list.

I doubt i will. It's just a list of everything that i've had a passing interest in and use it as a backup so i never run out of things to watch.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

In terms of upcoming seasonals, yes. As for any other series, probably never, but I wouldn't want to lose the name of something I was interested in at some point.

Yes and I always do. Most of my plan to watch are written down on paper because I don´t visit MAL so often more than I finished a show or im bored so I would forget the shows I plan to watch so I write most of them down have about 30 shows on my plan to watch list paper.

And it´s kind easy to finish all because some season there might be 2 shows that remotely interests me and some times there can be 5 show in a seasons. Allot of anime´s on my plan to watch list are old shows from 80-90s I missed sure I got in to anime in the 90´s but so much I missed.

Like I had no damn clue there was a season 2 of Magic knight ray earth like how the hell did I miss that.

My PTW has changed a lot of the years. From anime I've been wanting to watch since I first got into anime, to peoples recommendations over the years, sequels I need to get to, upcoming unaired anime, dropped anime I want to give a second change, an amalgamation of what ifs.

I have my PTW down to only 40 anime but realistically speaking most of the anime I watch this year won't be on that list.

Well I only have 100+, but I've already noticed that some of them have missing episodes on the platforms I was intending to watch them on. So it's probably unlikely that I'll watch them all unless the missing episodes are found.

It's literally impossible at this point, and I haven't exactly been prioritizing anime these past few years.

Someday, in the future, maybe, I don't know. I added most of these shows so as not to lose them and to receive a message about their premiere, but many of them remained unstarted and I did not even clear out the ones that I changed my mind about.
