| I have things On Hold because they're either Mid compared to newer anime I started loving, or I forgot what was happening and should start from the beginning. |
  |
| It´s for that moment when I lunch and don´t know which anime watch. |
| I'm lazy and I forgot where I was in some of them. |
 |
| Because I am stupid and forget to pick things back up after what were supposed to be "short" breaks so I keep them there to come back where i left off |

| My on-holds are hard to find anime, usually with missing episodes. So it's more of a reminder should the remaining episodes pop up somewhere. |
 |
| If it is a 100+ episode anime series, I might only watch 10 to 15 of the episodes...because it is probably not worth the time watching every epiaode imo. |

| They're lower priority watches to me. Sometimes for the same reasons you gave. A lot of it is just me starting too many things without finishing enough. |
| I only put anime on hold when they're still technically airing, but the next episodes will come out months later. This is usually due to delays (Zom 100, Nier Automata) or when MAL hasn't already figured out how to deal with the split cours of Netflix anime. When it comes to completed anime, if I don't feel like watching anymore I always drop instead of leaving them on hold. |

| @Loyal_Sheepling That's the most unique usage of On Hold I've seen. |
|
| Well the only anime I have on hold is HXH I watched it in 2016 made it to chimera arc then stopped told my self I’d watch it later and later has turned into 8 years and in between then I’ve been majorly spoiled on every second time frame and nanosecond. Which has both made me disinterested in picking it up but also interested in picking it up bc the spoilers were really good. It might just stay in limbo forever honestly. As for my manga I keep stuff in there that is currently publishing but I don’t necessarily want to keep up with so I revisit randomly every couple of months or years. |
 |
| I don't. My watching basically is my hold list sometimes. |
| I have 2. They're both from last season. Their finales got delayed due to production issues. So I'm waiting for them to finish. |

| Popular and highly rated series that I wasn't able to complete. Probably because I wasn't in the mood. I usually pick them up later to watch. |

| Whenever I get bored of binging One Piece I'll just put it On-Hold. Is that okay with you, my dude? |
| I rarely put anime on hold as I generally prefer to finish (or drop) in one go, but when I do it's because I'm not completely sure I want to continue watching that series. |
| Because they aired, but aren't available (yet) |
| It's all the remaining MVs in the DB that I have left to watch |

| Only series i have on hold is The Eminence in Shadow light novel, which i put it on hold cause i planned to read the next volumes when i got them. Now i will probably just read online. |
| Usually it's because I started something, enjoyed it, got busy with real life so I put it on-hold and then forgot about it. By the time I remember that I watched it, it's been several months and new shows have come out that I want to watch more. When I consider picking the on-hold series up again, it's been so long that I've forgotten most of it and am left feeling discourage because now it feels like I have to watch it from the beginning before I remember what happened. |
...At least let me finish.   |
| A few reasons: Series i grew up with but didn't finish (IE: Pokemon and Naruto which had hundreds of episodes and i was watching them on tv), plus some series that i dropped because they were either removed from a streaming site i was using or because i lost access to that streaming site (My cable provider had Anime Network, but we lost that provider and went to a cheaper one which didn't have it) Series i lost interest in and stopped watching voluntariliy ANd i also have a habit of using On Hold as a second Plan To Watch section, full of series that i give a higher priority to my PTW. A smaller list that's not as glutted |
| 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 |
| The only anime I have currently On Hold is Gintama. I only watched 25 episodes and need to continue... someday. I'd also add the shows I'm slowly rewatching if I could, but they stay in Watching for some stupid reason. |
| For manga and manhwa to check new chapters, read later and see new translated chapters. For anime to watch later. |
 |
| 'Cause it's henti only page since who knows when a new henti episode will be released. Those in manga sections are since who knows when the new volume is released. |

| Either they are really big anime (in terms of number of eps) or currently I don't have a interest in them but want to finish it. |

MechKingKillbot said: Waiting for subtitles That's pretty much the reason, especially if waiting for fansub. I'll eventually completed them. |
| There is no way to watch every anime show. So I have some shows on hold. |

| Blood-C The Last Dark Special - Episode 7 is hard to find/no English subs Cream Lemon - I don't watch very much hentai, I saw episode 8 during someone's stream. Girls und Panzer Specials - I pretty much have watched all of them, but MAL counts them in a weird way. I might fix this later. Phantom Thief Jeanne - Busy with other shows, I'll pick it up again when I feel like watching it. Kill la Kill Specials - Episode 2 is hard to find/no English subs Queen's Blade OVA Specials - Episode 2 is hard to find/no English subs Queen's Blade: Unlimited - Episode 2 is hard to find/no English subs A Certain Scientific Railgun T: Motto Marutto Railgun - At the time I watched it episode 2 wasn't out yet, I'll get around to it later during a rewatch of the entire franchise. Touhou Unofficial Doujin Anime: A Summer Day's Dream - Anime isn't finished yet, might be years or even decades before it is if ever. Most of my on-hold manga are ones I have digitally but haven't read yet, except for Black Lagoon which I've finished but is still publishing. |
  |
| I use it to basically track the on-going and/or finished (but not subbed yet) OVAs, specials and new seasons of the series I'm watching or watched. |
 |
| For anime, on-hold is where I put those anime I don't plan to watch along the rest of watching. This means that there are still anime in watching that could be on-hold but I just refuse to admit it. Manga on the other hand is different. Manga on-hold are those that are dropped not because they are bad, but because they are just too long and don't progress with the plot so I want to read other things instead. Like @Dauphine said. |
   ______________________ "Fine, I'll use this set properly, hmpf" Also, thank you Viraat ______________________ |
| I put movies on hold which I cannot find a way to watch them currently and sequels of shows which didn't impress me enough to start the sequels right away. |
| There's various reasons for anime to end up in my on-hold. Some of them I started and just didn't really like but would like to get around to someday. There's a couple in there that are really long and I just don't have time for. It's also common for MAL to not close entries for certain shorts for really long periods of time, so rather than keeping them in my "watching" list I find "on-hold" to be more accurate since I can't currently watch more of them and probably won't be able to for a long time. Some of the anime in my on-hold I actually could finish now, but I just haven't gotten around to. |

| I have things on hold cause I got too lazy to watch Assassination Classroom. That's my only On-hold :`) @kioshi @megumin @oofmastre9000 @playfulcloud88 @ame @justicebastard @kamijou @GermanBobaTea @aoi @alriven |
| Either they are kiddie shows or I have forgotten the episode count |
 |
| BORED OF THEM AT THE VERY MOMENT.... |
 baby, you're the devil i know better than the devil i don't maybe i could stop, but i won't 'cause, baby, you're the devil i know |
| For anime, it's cuz I've lost interest in them. For manga, it's cuz I'm waiting for more chapters to be released. |
 |
Reply to Oofmastre9000
Mostly because I get bored of them in the moment but I still plan on completing them at some point. There are several exceptions to this, though.
| This basically. It's also where I put any OVAs that I'm watching that have irregular release schedules and hentai. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| Anime I've started but had to stop for many reasons and just instead of having it clog watching and instead of chucking it on dropped if it's still got my attention I put it on the hold then forget about it for a while. Then I need to be in the mood to watch it and by then I'm watching something else EDit: This thread inspired me to complete notes on dropped anime from my list |

| i use it for things i really like but have 0 motivation to continue watching, in hopes that motivation comes back.. |
   |
| I usually lose interest halfway through watching it but not entirely closing the door to picking it up again. But then again sometimes I pick up my dropped anime too so it really is random and I've had some shows on hold for several years now lmao. I just put it there when there's a really slow season (like the one rn) and instead of finding new anime or my PTW I just see my on holds over and over again like opening the fridge only to not eat anything but opening it again in a few hours. |
| > I like it but have no motivation to watch it at the moment, or > it has irregular release schedule and haven't been updated for some time |
| I don't.. You should just finish what you start.. You don't know whats going to happen tomorrow, like the website you watch anime on, could shut down.. |
