I've been so lax in watching anime lately. I spend most of my day playing games without even bothering to stare at my anime batch folders. But I'm trying to stop playing bit by bit now. Therefore I want to gradually increase the time I invest to watch anime each day.

How many hours do you spend your day off watching anime? Are you happy of the time you spent? Is there a set rule of some sort like:

"To be a full-fledged anime fan you must watch at least (n) anime and watch at least(n) episodes each day."

or something like that generally known by the community?

I'm so jealous of those people who have hundreds of completed anime series in their list.
Please enlighten me on how to increase my dedication into watching anime.

There's no rule like that. I've had weeks and months when I didn't watch anything.

OT. Depends on my mood.

Learn how to multitask; watch anime and play games at the same time.
Don't watch just on your days off, utilize any instance in your day to day (especially idle moments like eating).

Very roughly, I've probably been watching like six episodes a day as of recent.
Sometimes more, sometimes nothing in a day.

There's nothing like that, no.
If you want to get through a lot fast, especially long shows, watch ten episodes a day.

I think you go about it wrong. Number of anime in the list is just something that comes passively with watching anime, not the purpose. Just watch what you want, however much you want.

How many hours do you spend your day off watching anime?
There is no set time I spend on anime every day, I can send an entire day marathoning 15-20 episodes, watch 2-4 episodes or not watch anything at all.
Are you happy of the time you spent?
Can't say I care about it tbh,

Is there a set rule of some sort like:

"To be a full-fledged anime fan you must watch at least (n) anime and watch at least(n) episodes each day."

Nope

Nothing to be jealous of, just watch stuff at your own pace, this is not a race or a competition.

You can tie yourself to a chair and watch anime all day every day, if you are that desperate. But I have an alternative, just watch as much anime as you want to, at your own pace.

according to my math about 3 normal length episodes per day on average

but i deffo had periods that were more anime heavy or gaming heavy (or exam heavy :V) so anywhere between 0 and twenty-some
it generally feels like a better time investment than most games, particularly mmos and mobas
depends on what you play.. if it's a grindfest than reducing your obsession with the game is most likely better in the long run

It's not that rare to have a period of time when you do not watch many anime. In the past few weeks (eight or nine) I've spent most of my free time on games. But once I finish Steins;Gate VN I'll be back to anime.

Haruna said:

Between 2 and 4 on week days, and between 4 and 8 on weekend. There are also days when I do not have time to watch anything.

I've never heard about such rule. I think it's more about what you do with the time you spend on anime, rather than how many hours you watch anime. Even if it takes you a long time to complete anime, but you discus it afterwards with other anime fans, then you are full-fledged anime for me.

Haruna said:

There is nothing to be jealous of, LOL :D

If you watch anime regularly, even just one hour a day, it's just matter of time when you will have few hundreds anime on completed list.

I don't think you should force yourself to watch anime. I you feel like playing games, play games. If you feel like watching anime, watch anime. But there is one advice I can give. Do not switch back and forth between games and anime without finishing/completing one or the other. Otherwise you will have tons of "on-hold" anime just as me :-P

Depending on my mood, how much I've to do and other factors, 0-25 episodes.

My average for the last three weeks was about 6 episodes per day.

From June till mid August was my high, I've watched 1000 episodes, so about 13-14 on average per day.

Depends on how much free time I have and how much I feel like putting into watching anime.

On average I probably haven't watched all that much, I sometimes go week without watching anything but seasonals (which is like 12-15 episodes a week?), but when I watch I really watch a lot on top of my seasonal anime. On a good day I can easily finish a 1 cour in a day, on a bad day maybe 3-4 episodes.

You're right, maybe I shouldn't be rushing to watch that many, after all.

Surprisingly though, it's quite the opposite actually. I've been shifting between anime and games for the past 2 weeks, whenever I get bored doing either of them. It's been a great way to keep my enthusiasm up, plus I'm not really the type that games for hours without rest. I usually do something else in-between so I don't get as bored and salty. You know how gaming community nowadays act.

Thanks for the advice though, I'll try not to procrastinate :)

In a similar position as OP. Been spending a lot of time in private Forza leagues, but I'll be breaking from that for a bit with Forza 7 coming out. This means that 50% of all the hours and hours I normally invest in practicing I'll can swap for watching anime, and spend the rest of the time earning money and unlocking vehicles.

I use to watch about 2-4 (usually 2) a day usually. I would only watch when I eat, so 2 meals a day and 1-2 episodes each time.

The past 3 or so weeks though, I've kinda doubled up due to boredom and been watching probably like 6~ a day.

I haven't really been gaming all that much, so I'm kinda bored throughout the day and end up watching anime outside of meals. I don't like binge watching all that much though, but whatever I guess, lol.

Lately I've been too busy with school and marching band and due to my busy schedule I've been spending my little free time playing games instead, but when I do watch anime I jam in as much as I can. With my current schedule that's abut 2-4 a day (sometimes I'll watch a new episode of a show on my phone before going to sleep if I haven't had a chance to watch anything else that day). On days that I have the free time to actually do whatever I want and I binge and depending on what time I wake up and what time I go to bed (both depend on what I was doing the day before and have to do the next day) I could watch up to a whole season.

I tend to watch anime right before I go to sleep, so depending on how tired I am I tend to pull in from 1-5.

On days I'm not at work/not seeing people, I can happily binge a 12ep series + half of another series.
