How do you decide what anime to watch next? For me I just put a bunch of names in https://wheeldecide.com/ and have it make my choice for me since I'm indecisive.

I personally scroll through the list and see what looks interesting for that moment and situation and just have a go at it

I always decide by gut feeling, except for weekly episodes.

I guess it mostly depends on my mood.
@Serafos this. I just think of what genre Im in the mood for and how long I want it to be, then remember "hey I still need to watch this". Every time I try to randomly pick something I realize im not in the mood for it and pick something else

Used to have a cycle that I went through. First off limit how much you're watching at once so you can get through the list faster without getting burnt out. I went with 5 series usually. And just cycle 1 through 5.

I have so much that I've started or intend to start sooner than later (related to something I've seen, an ongoing seasonal), that I tend to pick that. I also prioritize anything short. The other things I pick up tend to be something I am watching with another person or come across/am reminded of and am compelled to start in the moment.

whatever I’m in the mood for, I’ve started so many anime it’s crazy but I always circle back around
I also use a random number generator and the yearly anime watching challenge list MAL puts out and then follow the prompt of the number I get to find a new anime to watch if I want to start something random

the only ones I mark as watching on MAL are the seasonals though lol

I normally keep it to around 10, a lot of them I watch weekly.

right now, I'm watching 11.

6 of them are weekly watches that I am either caught up to or slightly behind on.

One of them is ninja kamuy which I watched weekly and just need to watch the last 2 episodes of.

One of them is undead unluck. I have stopped at a good stopping point, and since I am waiting for the dub, I'm waiting until it's fully dubbed to binge the rest.

I'm watching the latest haikyuu season with my cousin.

Natsume's book of friends I normally watch 1 episode of before bed.


and Infinite Ryvius is a show that I'm just watching normally. no strings attached.


Unless you mean my plan to watch list.

To which I just look at it and pick one that I am in the mood for watching.

It has enough shit in it that there is always one show that is perfect for what I am looking to watch.

Whatever airs that day among the seasonals, or just depends on the mood.

I don't. I mostly watch shows that are currently airing, and they are all released on different days of the week. So I just sit down for a couple hours each night and watch the episodes that came out that day.
