It’s interesting to consider how many anime fans typically engage with each season. So, how many anime do you watch per season?

While they air? Exactly 0. Most was 3 I think but that was during exceptional circumstances. I don't really keep up with seasons. Netflix has spoiled me and I mostly binge watch.

Now how many anime I watch from each season regardless of the time I watch them. Idk it deepends. From zero to 15 which is quite a range.

Between 1 and 5 always. It really depends in which shows I find interesting.

i think 3-10 is the sweet spot
beyond that is vacation time
less than that is normie behavior

with 3-10 shows, its managable and also memorable and u enjoy each show giving it the time it deserves

I'm watching more and more seasonals because I reached the point where I'm more likely to find new good anime among them than by digging through old stuff. After having watched most of the highest acclaimed anime and also many hidden gems, finding more good old anime only gets harder. I am a fan of the modern era, that's for sure.

Last season I started 36 anime and completed half of them. The rest was usually dropped after 1-2 episodes.

Less than 10, I try to pick at least 5 shows per current season and also watch some older shows on the side. I aim to watch at least 400 episodes of anime minimum this year.

Around 5 normally. Like most of seasonal animes aren't even that good in my opinion.
Normally per season I have like 3-5 animes I'm actually hyped for, and maybe I start to watch another 2-4 slop ones.

I don't have a set number. It completely varies and fluctuates in accordance with the series which are airing that particular season and the number of ones from among them that I'm interested in trying out and ultimately continuing with.

For example, this past spring season I watched through to completion 17 different seasonal series, but this was my highest number, or equal with spring of 2021. Then this summer season which is just ending now (although a few series I'm watching from it aren't over yet), I only watched 11 new seasonals. This coming autumn season I'm not sure what the exact number will be yet. I only know of the series I'm at least interested in trying out. I may watch them all the way through in totality or drop them (from anywhere to less than five minutes in or at least three or four episodes' worth) depending on what I see.

It depends on how many seasonals I want to watch, but I rarely watch more than 10 anime at the same time.

I don't really watch seasonally anymore. I honestly stopped caring about padding out my watchlist with fluff a while time ago

I didn't watch many ongoing anime before. Just started watching ongoing since last year. It's around 4-6 anime per season, but maybe will decrease over time.

Usually I watch a couple seasonal ones as they release and a few more after they are done airing. So anywhere between 3 and 5 is my usual.

Always more than 10 for sure, but the exact number just depends on how many anime interest me in a given season. It's usually somewhere between 15 and 25, give or take a few.

I don't watch many weekly anime because I prefer to wait until the end of the season and watch them all in one go without having to wait for an episode every week. It's usually 1-4 anime tho.

1-5. Most times I'm not interested in than more than 5, neither do I have time for shows I don't really want to watch.
I'm also several seasons behind with most shows.

If I am only counting shows that came out that season, not that many. If I am counting how many anime I watch in a season regardless of when they came out...easily 20+

I did 1 season of 10+ anime and I realized it was unsustainable for me personally. Definitely staying around the 4 or less mark for a while.

There is no restrictions in the potential number of anime I watch, I watch as many anime that I am interested in. I've an open approach to watching new seasonal anime. There are so anime these days with many genres and various themes out there, it's exciting and I'm happy to explore different stories and get to know all the new sexy dominant Waifu who have the potential to step on me each season.

@RareAnimeHunter No not at all. It was just some sequels I was excited about that happened to air at the same time. I don't usually get excited for stuff which is why it was "exceptional".
