Almost 1800 entries on MAL hard to tell how many individual series. Started summer 2022.

and you've already wat he'd 1800? stop ur fucking lying unless you REALLY REALLY don't have a life

I mean that is obviously a lie ;d He would need to watch anime for at least 12+ hours every single day for 3 years straight and that still isn't even accurate since 1800 of those anime have different amount of episodes. Idk what's the point in lying about that kind of a thing in the first place, unless you somehow have enough free time to spend 12+ hours a day for years just to watch anime.

296 anime, as of a minute ago, and I started watching in 2017 thereabouts as a high schooler. I think my MAL account might be a couple months off from when I started

College has a lot of free time and then job searching has even more. But some series will have 10+ entries just from specials and stuff so it's not that crazy.

completed entries are 108, so less than 100 counting multiple seasons as 1 show

if we look at numbers on mal then close to 500 but if we count actual TV animes and exclude movies/OVA/specials/music videos then maybe 350 something idk. but if we count individual franchises and not count each season of an anime as individual then far less. 250 or 300 sth ig.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Bro, no way some people are at 10000 lol. I’d be somewhat surprised if that many actually existed
And I’m 400+ entries if you include titles dropped midway, 300+ completed
Got helluva lot of rewatches in there though.

@ghier MAL has more than twice that many entries. Probably there's a Japanese person out there who's seen more

792 completed according to mal but I didn't add all of the ones I watched here coz I couldn't remember them all and besides mal considers every ova and movie as a seprate anime so.
as for when I started it would have to be 2015-16
can't remember the exact year.

I actually have no fucking idea, I've been watching anime for over 25 years but only started keeping track 3 years ago and still discover series (like Amanchu! which I streamed simulcast, both seasons) that I never had listed. Most everything during 2006-2016 I've lost track of apart from favorites.
Jul 17, 4:50 PM
After seeing such poll results, I can conclude people are too lazy to watch Anime here.

Thats literally as much time as you spend sleeping it's obviously a lie.

I've been watching anime for almost 30 years but it's been off and on...I've been watching it more often probably in the past 10 years or so.

If you count every special, ova, movie, tv series it's over 1,000 but only 674 are tv series and that is also counting mutiple entries from the same series. I also have a good chunk on hold anime tv series that I have seen but not completed yet like 270 something...trying to slowly make my way through them.

I'm on 200 moreorless according to MAL, but I've only recorded what I've watched in the past year (where I've had a lot of free time to be fair). I used to watch a lot less but, have watched anime on and off since the early 90's, so I think it's fair to assume that the real number of titles probably approaches double what I've recorded so far.

Attack on Titan is the only anime that makes sense for something like this to be posted, I thought it would be interesting if posted on Attack on Titan, Out of curiosity, in 2014 I still didn't follow seasonal anime, I usually made lists based on recommendations from other people or lists from the Internet as a whole. If you want, also comment approximately how many years you have been watching anime!

Not number of anime, but total watch time should be the benchmark to compare. Redo a poll again.

Should of included a <100, would of been nice to see, and timeline of watching is hard to figure when you stop and come back, and can’t be bothered to compartmentalize the history of one’s life. Watch time is probably a better metric.

I started watching anime in the early nineties, but I started counting them in last 3 years. I know I have finished 700 anime and maybe more, but I don’t know how many anime I watched in total🙈 Actually, I like to rewatch anime that I like more than starting watching a new anime😆 in fact, I have repeated watching Rurouni Kenshin (90s),One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Detective Conan, Black Clover and many more anime more than once. So, I might have watched more anime series if did not repeat them over time.

@koki22 I think the time before 2010 was a great era to watch anime. No social media, nothing to distract me. I also watched Dragon ball z and Doraemon when I was 9 years old. My friends enjoyed watching them too. Back then, we didn’t even know they were called anime. I started watching anime again in 2021.

500+. I've been watching anime since the 80s, and since the late 90s being conscious that I was watching anime. However, I watched like 80% of these shows starting at 2018.

Completed 146, my list involve shorts, movies, OVA ect.

First anime I watched was Pokemon dub during my childhood when I didn’t know what anime was and I thought it was just a cartoon. I’ve become affiliated with the medium during December 2017 when a friend online recommended me to watch Vampire Knight and Death Note. After I watched Death Note I’ve grown interested to explore more series. Since that time I was on off due to real life being busy and stopped for a while, after that I’ve restarted being active since December 2020.

You are an Otaku lol. You've watched more anime than me and I'm an OG. Been watching anime since I was 3. I'm 34 now. Hopefully you plan to turn around and create something with all you've absorbed. nvm everybody comment in this discussion are super Otakus😵

@ComeInReiAsuka Indeed, that's need lots of time and also i know that downloading speed was too slow. But i watched anime from TV. Drawback is i can't watch any episode if i missed.

@Sahil_Agarwal

There are multiple legit users on MAL who have completed 10,000 (not a lot, and probably not the people who voted in the poll, but they exist). It's a feat for sure, but when you realize how many shorts are in the database, it's more doable than you'd think.

The jump from 5,000 to 10,000 is quite steep, lol, but I'm currently at 8,000+. I do try to say "8,000 entries on MAL" and not "8,000 anime", because this means different things to different people (even with just series, do you combine multiple seasons as one show?). It's hard to estimate how many if you're excluding short stuff, but significantly less, as evidenced by my days watched.

@Sahil_Agarwal It was just an extra, I wanted to see if there would actually be people who would vote, but what you're saying only applies to TV anime, but if you count OVA, ONA, Movie and Special it can reach 15,000, that is, I'm not wrong in having added this option
