I got into anime about 6 months ago and looking at my stats recently I have watched over 600 episodes easily, which is about 4 per day. Now I'm wandering if that's too much and wanted to see how much the rest of you watch per day. Among my friends i am the only hardcore anime guy who watches anime on a regular basis so maybe i really do watch too much??

It depends. During the weekdays only 1 or 2 a day, but on weekends I can do 12 a day sometimes. Also it depends on how much I enjoy the anime I'm watching. When I started watching Skip Beat! I ended up watching 19 episodes in one day. That was a really hardcore weekend.

It depends on the time of year and my mood.

Lately: 4 - 6 episodes a week, if so much.
In the past: 10 episodes a day.

I usually watch only 1-2 episodes per day because of school. But recently, I've been watching more because we've had school off all this week and last week due to snow. Plus, I don't really like to watch more than 6 episodes per day or else I'll get burnt out from watching so much.

Watching anime is good in moderation.

My history is very short. Looking at individual weeks and averaging out, one week was 5-6 episodes per day, another was around 10-11 per day. I have no clue how accurate that is other than to say that I did watch all of those anime recently so the time frame is roughly correct.

It really does depend on what I do and how busy I am. For example, this past week I've been working on something that required frequent attention away from the TV, both visual and audibly, so I haven't been able to watch as much. I'm missing my anime, though, so I'll restructure how I'm doing that project.

I usually get 2 episodes in before leaving for work. Every evening, I try and get a couple episodes in minimum. So, 4 a minimum on weekdays, weekends usually have a good amount of anime watching since many of my at-home weekends are spent in my room while my away-from-home weekends are usually going to a friends' to watch anime.

I don't honestly see how you can tell if you watch too much anime.
I watch as much as I have time for so that I can still finish my homework and have a life.
So it is long sometimes sure, some weeks are slow.
Otherwise I don't really think it matters one way or the other...

It depends on if I feel like watching it or not. Sometimes I don't watch any anime for a few weeks, other times I watch a couple episodes a week etc...it just depends on what I have going on during the week and how busy I am. I am usually pretty busy and I don't want to spend my time indoors sitting behind a computer screen or a tv just watching anime all day and doing nothing.

Probably 3 or 4 times a month. Watching anime day after day died for me about a year ago.

I can't marathon too well on the computer. I prefer watching on my television and since I buy about one anime boxset about every 3 months, my rates of watch are extremely slow.

I personally love my laid-back moderation. I don't "burn out" as often. :)

NOT AT ALL.

Since I'm pretty busy with exams I've been having to restrain my viewing to only 2 or 3 episodes per day. In normal days a full season series of very boring plot and very bad quality (meaning I multitask while watching) flies by in a day or two.

I'll take my laptop to school and fill in my study halls without class with one episode and then work. Between 9-12:40 on Fridays I don't have any class, so I will usually pop 3 episodes in there. I might watch three episodes at home on weekdays. Anime and Manga is like comfort food to me. If I have a terrible week I grab my Miyazaki, Golden Boy and Akira collection and binge on it all.

With intense and dramatic series, maybe 3-4 episodes a day. With comedy animes, I just finish the whole damn thing overnight. I live off powernaps so it's all good.

I always say that Im going to watch this specific anime but I end up watching one episode then look for another one.
Sometimes, when I like those animes, I try to divide my time so I can watch all of them.
I watch at least 5 a day...
No, not 5 episodes for each anime, a day.

I don't have enough time to watch anime daily. The idea is to get an episode in before bed, but I usually just collapse. Bus times have also become sacred resting times...

To answer the topic question : according to my family and friends, yes (since cartoons are 'for kids'). According to me - no, since I do log on to MAL which takes away my time from watching anime.

As for your poll (there has been a thread for this before) - 4 when the series is not engaging and 10-12/13 if it is engrossing. afterwards, I play tennis.

I watch too little anime, if you ask me.

I dunno, let's see. At least 2 a day for sure.
But usually, it'll be between 6 and 12.
I guess it depends on if I actually have something to do.
Is that too much? I don't think so...

Sometimes I can watch up to an entire series in one day (like I finished Black Cat & Karin in one sitting lol) On average I watch about 5 episodes a day or even just one if I'm occupied with reading manga (if I don't have any homework). But once homework is outta the way, it's my favourite thing to do in my spare time. You can never get enough anime XD

In my opinion, no. Normally I watch in the mid-afternoon when I return home from school, or later at night when I'm the only person still awake. I can complete between 2-4 episodes a day on a routine like that.

Depends.. this season I'm only watching 1 new show, so there's not much to watch daily....

But if it's a series that already ended then 3-5 eps a day, if I'm up to it.

I didn't watch anime for that long.
When I first started watching anime.
I used to watch like 5 eps a week.
But then I got to a stage where I could watch a compelte series in a day on school days.
During the holidays I watched 40 episodes of Hajime no Ippo in a day somehow.
Thats like basically a whole day?
Now I watch 1-2 eps a day.
I'm focused on too many other things to watch anime...

5-6 on average. I usually just like 1-2 episodes/day on weekdays from new episodes, but my anime marathon on saturday and maybe a little of sunday usually gets me like 26 episodes or even more, depending on the show Im watching(ie, I watched LotGh(110 episodes) in 5 days, because it was soo good.).

Depends on my free time actually plus, I'm always on forums and sometimes reads more manga rather than to watch anime. I voted 5-6 since that is my standard anime watching in one sitting in a day or it could be lesser since I've stated before it depends on my free time.

I am too busy trying to not fail school.
yet end up failing anyways. Nowadays my housemates are barging into my room to watch some romance series I have (hurray promoting), so I'm ending up rewatching 3 episodes a day. I watch about 2 new episodes, so that makes around 5.

Well, the last time I watched any anime was a few months ago. So no, I dont think so. When I watched it more it was about 1-10 episodes a week.

For me it's watching Anime and J-Dramas more in phases than every day...Although I usually do watch one or the other every day! xD
Sometimes I only watch J-Dramas for weeks other times I'll watch 3-4 Anime Series straight! But I definitely watch too much off both but I can't help it! xD They don't call it an addiction for nothing! xD
