| I was curious about this, I'm sorry if there was a thread like this already, didn't search it properly because I don't know what keywords to use for that XD What's the "pattern" you stick to when watching anime, if you have one? I mean, for example, downloading the first episodes of 3 series, watching them and then go with one of them until it's closed, or follow all of them; or maybe watching all the episodes of a serie in a row as long as you like it; or maybe again watching 10 episodes of a serie, then leaving it on hold for some time while watching something else and then continuing it after a while... something like that. Sorry for my bad English, I hope my question is clear XD |
| I usually wait till it's all released and then grab a batch, trying to keep to one series till I've finished it before starting a new one. Unfortunately, my watching is much slower than my downloading, so I tend to get a bunch of series stocked up waiting to be watched. In case it is a series I'm not quite sure about, I frequently grab the whole batch (So long as they are 12-26), watch the first two or three, and if it seems very trite (Often I've already read reviews and synopses to form some sort of idea beforehand) I take a quick skip through some of the later episodes to see whether they keep to the same or something new turns up before ditching it. And sometimes, I end up deciding to watch something even if it may be a bit sloppy, but if that is the case, I tend to fast speedwatch forward through the thing, or it's boring parts rather than watching it in normal time. |
lollypatrolly said: something like thatMy pattern, if it can be defined as such: I "acquire" a bunch of shows,, then watch the first ep of one after another until I find something I enjoy. I'll often get bored in the middle of a season and pick up something else, though, and I'll drop a show for good if it turns out to be annoying. If the story has really dragged me in and there is some suspense, I may marathon a bit, like with Death Note. |
| Depends, but I usually download less than half the amount of eps and watch 'em. If I don't like them but still find them bearable, I might continue (but procrastinate). Otherwise if it's really good, then I'd watch them quickly. |
| I usually find a show that appears to be in my taste and add it to my watch list if the reviews are generally positive. If it's a show that's already finished, then it will rank on higher priority because I prefer to watch shows on my own time. I usually stick around for half a series (if they're within the 1 to 30 episodes frame) until I decide to drop it. Because torrents aren't working right now and I can't really spare hundreds on DVDs, streaming is the way I usually watch nowadays. |
| I try to watch half an episode for breakfast and the second half for lunch, and then a full episode for dinner. Sometimes I'll watch an entire series straight out without interruption however I also sometimes will reserve a series I really like for dinner-only as I really look forward to dinner and lunch is the meal where I have to interrupt my day because my stomach has to whine half way through the day. |

| I usually search the anime based on genre that i'm feel like to watch. Ex: if i'm feel like to watch action anime, i search the list, look at the average score and some review, and if i think it suits my taste. I'll download all of the episodes and start watching it. I don't watch any other anime (except animes that currently airing) till i finished it. |
 |
| I pick up a series if it sounds interesting or has some appealing elements. If my disk space allows, I will download all the episodes(for <26 eps series). Else I will download episode by episode and then delete after watching. I try to finish everything I started, as long as it does not cross the mediocre mundane border unbearably and becomes a chore to watch. |

| I try to avoid ongoing animes. I mean when it comes to me, I like watching anime straight. I don't like being hold up for one week just to wait for the next ep to come out. Rather I like to watch an anime series in a fast pace. After episode 1 on to episode 2 to episode 3 so on and so forth. but I Limit my time on watching it. On a regular basis i watch anime from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. And i got used to it. |
| I have many on going animes that I wait for, so while I'm waiting I watch an anime that's allready completed it's series. For example I'm watching the Aria's at the moment, while I wait for my other 5 animes to come out every thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. ;) |
| Midnight Friday - Download like wild Saturday - afternoon 2 eps of anime Midnight Saturday - Download if bothered/st Sunday morning download spam - watch anime while doing so. Random anime through week or no anime at all. This is like when I'm in no life mode. |
| Unless it's something I REALLY want to watch and that I know that is REALLY awesome, I'll wait till it's realeased and batch torrent it. At this moment I have almost 30 long series on my disc waiting to be watched. Then I watch one series at the time, completely. Usually together with all the related specials and OVAs. |

| Most of the time I wait until a series is finished airing and subbed before watching.If it is something I started out watching dubbed then I wait until it is finished being dubbed before watching it. If it is a series that I am pretty sure is going to be dubbed then I will wait until it is dubbed. If it is a an ova whose release is being spread throughout a year then I may just wait until an episode or two is subbed and then watch it. If for example a anime is being subbed by only one group and that group is slow as shit then I will still wait until they finished subbing it because if by some chance they drop then I am left hanging and to what happened in the end and I am not learning another language just so I can watch a cartoon.Sometimes I will watch 4-6 episodes and then days later perhaps even later next week I watch another 4-6 episodes, although lately I have been watching 4-6 episodes at the end of the day almost every day. |

I wish I had a backlog like that. I get it right as it comes and finish it as I get the last episode. But I guess it's good that way. Always on my toes. |

| Takes time to find a good anime I like, I try to go inbetween romance/comedy/more light hearted to darker, dramatic, psychological, violent, etc. Keeps things fresh instead of watching too much of just one genre. If I really like the anime, I'll finish it quick, if it's decent I'll watch it in a course of a week to three weeks I try to avoid things currently airing and prefer series that are finished, can't imagine how pissed I'd be seeing the second to last episode of Death Note before waiting a week |
| With airing anime I watch the episodes as soon as they come out, when I've got time. With completed anime I try to stick to one or two at most, often a comedy/slice of life and a more serious anime. I watch what I feel like watching, usually a few episodes at a time. I have a lot of plan-to- watch anime on my external HDD, so choosing what to watch next is not a problem for me. I just go with something random or an anime that I've been wanting to see for a while. |

| Has anyone ever tried RANDOMLY watching episodes? >:D |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
KyuuAL said: Has anyone ever tried RANDOMLY watching episodes? >:D Yes, if Ive already read the manga for it. Anyways, my way of watching anime is rather complicated. I don't like marathoning shows, so it takes me forever to finish a series. Im currently watching 5 anime at a time, two series that have finished airing, and three series that im trying to catch up in episodes for. However, that got all screwed up because all the airing anime I want to watch are ending. |
