Seems silly to you that I sometimes get overwhelmed with the amount of anime I pick up each season or get bored so I put an anime on hold until I feel like watching it? I see no reason to drop it. Next thing you're going to be telling me that I should drop the anime in my watching list that I only watch an episode of when I'm bored once every couple of months. All that matters is the intent. I intend to pick up all the anime on my on hold list, that's why they're there and not in my dropped list, I actually looking forward to some.
Never watched it so it is not effective.
eh? it just seems like you're doing it for the sake of an anime list on a website to me. i've been around here long enough to know that folk here get high and mighty about their 'nothing dropped' status (while their on-hold list just steadily gets bigger and bigger).
if i don't watch an episode of an anime for months, it goes to my on-hold list. if i don't watch that on-hold anime after all, it goes to my dropped list. if i ever do feel like watching that dropped anime, i pull it from the dropped list for a second chance. i'd consider an on-hold list of over 100 anime quite overwhelming, actually.
actually, if i watched an episode (just 1) of something and found it to be interesting enough i might throw it on my ptw list instead. it's probably going to be so long until i get around to it that i'll need to rewatch the first episode anyway.
Well you don't really know how I think, do you. And I've been here long enough to see that as user's completed anime grows higher, so does usually all other parts of their list not just on hold.
Well if I have no intention of watching an anime for a while, I'll put it on hold, that simple, I pick it up when I feel like watching it then it goes to my watch list until I finish it. If it's on your dropped list why would you pick it up? I thought dropped meant you had no intention of ever picking it up. I didn't know it was like second on hold level. I'd consider an on hold list of over 100 for someone who's watched over 1,500 anime to be quite normal actually. And relatively the size of our on hold lists to our completed list is close. Mine would be even closer if I didn't count the ones that aren't on hold voluntarily.
I've done that a few times, it depends.
from what i've observed the on-hold list of a user who doesn't drop any anime is usually larger and stays larger for longer.
