| Since I only add Not Yet Aired anime in my PTW list... I'm curious. I saw many users who find hard what anime they should watch next form their Plan to Watch list. I don't know how confusing is it so I want to know. Like, how long do you take to decide, do you have a basis on choosing what to watch next, or is it often for you being confused deciding what anime to watch next. |

| I watch sequels first and then a series that I haven't watched. I watch seasonals too. |
| I just watch whatever is recommended to me. Otherwise if something catches my eye, I will watch that. |
 |
| From a scale from 0 to 10, it's 11. Sometimes the anime on PTW list don't match my current mood, so I just pick any I liked the name or just pass another weekend watching nothing. |

| Seasonal animes pretty much rotted my whole PTW list. But if I take that out, here's my style. It pretty much goes down to what you really want to watch at this point of time, then you should watch that immediately. If you really like the series, then check the OVA's and sequels. And you pretty much one by one sweep your PTW list. It's really not that hard unless you dont have an interest to the show in your list. |

xamantra said: That doesn't happen to me since my PTW is 90% not yet aired. The other 5% are like movies which can't be watched yet (no BDs etc.). The last 5% are like some titles I can't find subs yet or some entries I added recently on my ptw. That's the same as my PTW list, except "The last 5% are like some titles I can't find subs yet or some entries I added recently on my ptw." |

| Personally, my PTW list would be so long it would intimidate the heck out of me so I don’t use it. I’m willing to watch just about any anime (given it’s not rated R or hentai) so my queue increases on a daily basis. Lol I usually watch whatever I’m in the mood for, typically a specific genre. A lot of times I’ll purposely switch to a show with drastically different tone than the one I just watched to spice things up a bit. Although, I usually have a plan to watch a certain show next but then, once it’s time to watch it, I’ll pick something completely different in a spur of the moment decision. Lastly, moods don’t affect me that much, any anime can be enjoyable regardless of genre. Even if I’m not feeling a particular genre at the moment, say SOL for instance, it might take an episode or two but, if it’s a good series, I’ll enjoy it whether I’m feeling it or not. :) |

Like, all of PTW shows go in the generator and spit out what I should watch, fate! Sometimes it loves me and there are times it hates me... sigh There is a small chance I actually just pick something from my PTW without using a generator. |

| Extremely hard. Sometimes I already have an idea of what I wanted to watch next, but if not then choice paralysis is very common and nothing looks appealing to watch. |
  |
| I have an order I plan on watching all of my stuff in my PTW, mostly when I decided to watch it I put it at the end of my queue. |
 |
| I watch anime based on the best cover, at least it has a pretty girl I will watch it for sure. Except for shoujo, because that's not my type. sometimes I get confused with my PTW lists, lol. |
| Sometimes I don't even go to my PTW and just search through other anime recommendations. |
| I’ve just been watching shows that have a sequel coming up, but most of the time I watch stuff if I see a clip online and it piques my interest |

| I usually already think about what to watch next during my current watch though it always changes mainly due to my mood. |
 |
| Pretty damn difficult because there is so many options... but I choose whatever I'm in the mood for. |

| I can't pick anything myself to save my life so I just put in the number of entries I have on PTW list into a random generator to pick for me. If it is not aired yet or ongoing I skip it and find something finished to watch. |

KazumaNagato said: Wow, I've never thought generators can be used for picking an anime to watch. I learned something, thanks. Assign each anime in question a number. Then roll them dice. |
| Not very. I usually have a pretty good idea of what shows I want to get to next, and even if that ends up changing before I get to it, that usually means it was replaced by something else I want to get to. Usually I tend to figure what I'm in the mood for and I usually have at least one show of that variety that I plan to get to soon |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| It isn't that hard for me, as long as the anime looks mildly interesting. |
   |
| I don't think it has anything to do with being hard. I'm just lazy to watch. lol... Lazy to Watch (LTW). That should be added in MAL lists. |
 |
| Not that hard since I never have too many titles on my PTW list, only a couple of times I can't decide between 2-3 titles, and when that happen I usually make a poll on Twitter and watch whichever get the most votes. I never thought of using the random number generator, I might do that next time I'm in a dilemma. I have a harder time choosing what to watch when my PTW is empty. |
  |
| Random number generator! I'm not joking. |
| Half the time I start something that isn't even in my ptw just something i heard of recently lmao |
| Not at all, considering I use a random number generator to choose for me, but I do keep around 1 cheat anime where I just choose something and I never really have any problems choosing that either. I typically know what kind of anime I want to watch depending on the mood I'm in. |
| it got a lot easier ever since i drop without hesitation |
  |
| it's pretty easy, but I will usually ask friends if i'm confused |
 |
| i'm usually using the PTW to download finished series, so i usually use the PTW to see what i would like to get now and get it... |
| I find it hard to decide. Sometimes i find myself sitting at my laptop for ages trying to decide between a few shows, yesterday it was JoJo Stardust Crusaders Egypt or Dog Days S2, i went with JoJo in the end, but it took me a while to decide. Now I try and plan what I'm going to watch next before I finish, discounting seasonal shows. I've also got a list of 90's fantasy and sci-fi (Slayers, Utena, Captain Tylor, Harlock) and sequels (Dog Days, Bokuben, Kamisama Kiss, Kaminomi, Strike the Blood) I'm planning to watch, so I'll work my way through that list. |

KazumaNagato said: Since I only add Not Yet Aired anime in my PTW list... I'm curious. Lol me too. I add other anime on anime-planet as well, but they're not that important. |
 |
| so hard that i don't even end up picking from the PTW list, i find something new, and then the cycle repeats. it never ends |
| It's not hard when I don't have the time to watch them |
| It's difficult enough that I use a site that lets me make a custom wheel of fortune instead of actually doing it myself, because that would take forever. |
| I'm one of those who asked. I had a good reason for it as well. I know what I want to watch and download all shows I can beforehand. however, it piles up over time and the names stop meaning anything. the reason I asked was because I got fed up with how trash the animation and art are this season. so I wanted to watch something with great art because it's more than disheartening by now. this isn't something I can decide just by looking at the cover and reading the synopsis. hope it makes sense now. |

| Extremely hard. Indecisiveness is my biggest problem. |
 |
| It's not hard since I don't watch my PTW lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| very... very hard... then I decide to watch something new that I haven't added yet "A Plan to Watch list is there to grow and never decrease" |

| I plan out the next few anime I will watch and their order. So if I deviate from the plan, I watch what I want to or if I stick to it, I never get stuck choosing my next anime Does this make sense? |
