If I try to lay down too long, I'll fall asleep. I generally always watch anime sitting up. Its all about what you are sitting on.

If you can't get comfortable, you need to get a new chair :P. I generally sit "indian-style" in a massive leather chair from the 70's. It could be from the 60's actually. Who knows. I also have two tv's, a laptop, and my desktop within arm's reach, so I can seamlessly rotate activities. I've got a Lain set-up for sure.

First 2 Episodes probably sitting while leaning on my pillow, then succeeding episodes laying (In a sleep form) ... Then sit again constantly... I'm more comfortable sitting on the floor...

It just happens when you're really into a show. You tend to forget about your sitting position.

I tend to use smartphones on watching, but I find my phone always low battery.

I personally don't do this, but if you want to watch anime comfortably, just plug your computer to the tv and watch it there. It gives a lot less stress on your body since the screen is more far away and big.

I've got a fairly normal computer chair, so I just sit in it normally, lean back and rotate/move from time to time. I also only have a laptop, so I switch over to my bed from time to time.

I can't find a comfortable position as well. I keep switching positions and places all over my room with my laptop.
But the ones I use the most are sitting on the bed supported by a cushion or sitting on the chair when I'm at desk.

I either just lean back in my chair and slightly alter my position in said chair every once in a while, or I lean back in the couch with my phone. I've got some pretty weird positions while doing so :P

I have a super comfy desk chair, so I usually just lounge in that and curl up with a blanket or something.

Get up and stretch after every episode. Stretching feels good.

Streeeetttch.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that.

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I lie down on bed. Occasionally I walk back and forth holding my laptop.

I can sit for hours without getting uncomfortable, especially if I am into the anime.

Soon I'm getting Crunchyroll again so I can just lay in bed and watch it on my TV.

So... most people watch anime on their PCs... I watch them on my phone :)

When it's on a phone... you can watch it however you want and you can get close to the screen without it hurting your eyes.

I personally curl up in my bed, soooo comfortable

Well I get up and do some sort of exercise after each episode, whether it be stretching or doing sit ups.

I should keep this in mind and try to do it as well, that's a really good habit!

I never sit very comfortable, but I'm used to it...:/

I used to do that too, but watching it on a laptop just gives you better quality.

Yeah it's weird at first. But once you do it for a week or so it becomes very natural!

I don't. I only watch a few episodes a week, so 20 minutes on my PC watching an episode won't break my back. After, I just stretch and do something else.

I don't. I never seem to be able to get centred to the screen so I keep fidgeting to try and make it so I am viewing it centre one always making it worse :/.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

I just have a comfy computer chair which is very easy on my lower back.

But I do take a notion to get up after every anime episode and have a quick walk downstairs and chat to the parents or my brother so that my brain doesn't fry from the computer.

I lie down on my bed when i watch anime. Usually just with my head leaning on the wall or changing to lying down belly-first with my chin on my pillow.
When I sit, I just end up holding my knees on top of the seat...
