I think my progress is just fine for someone who's been watching anime for almost 30 years, now. It's not some kind of race.

well I have 3 months to finish 90 anime, it's about impossible since it takes 3 days for me on average to finish 12 episodes.
I'm not happy. failed to watch 200 anime/year twice now. (last year I capped at 199, I was furious.)

What's stopping you from finishing 500 anime per year?

In 2 years, you'll have crossed 1.4k anime.

Even if they were 1-cour ones, that would take more than 100 uninterrupted days.

Yes, I've watched an amazing amount of anime and sometimes we have to remember that the goal is to enjoy and not blindly watch to log what we have watched. Like ik this is a anime logging website, but us as watchers shouldn't forget the og mission when watching anime, is to enjoy it as it's a form of visual entertainment.

So basically stop worrying abt ur anime progress

When I Made this Account I was a bit curious of how much would the anime I had watched amount to but I don't think I care that much about numbers.
To me the journey is more important than the destination. I'm glad there are still so many anime/manga I'm curious about and haven't explored yet.

Actually I get a bit jealous of people with low numbers. There are so many good Shows they didn't watch yet, I Wish I could experience them again for the first time xD

If you thread was exactly about that then of course you'd get destroyed for it. It's a huge generalisation. And using thewiru's schizo posts to prove your point is very questionable.

It's not the size that matters, it's how much you enjoy it, never forget that when you think to yourself, "I wish it were bigger"
@Jackson1333 factual at the end of the day noone cares how much anime youve seen

@Hiyajo-san Okay? Lmao. My point still stands, there are people on here that only watch to increase their numbers. I never said ''everyone'' People who are like ''Well, technically....'' and then feel the need to point out that its not everyone.... bruh i never said it was. But it's funny, people didn't like that post, and they felt attacked, which mustve hit a sore spot for them, they knew I was right, hence why the huge uproar. If you know it dosent apply to you, why are you so upset? People who argue on technicalities are so frustrating. Its like when you say junk food is a cause for obesity and someone has to swoop in and be like ''well... not if you eat it only sometimes'' WE KNOW THAT.

But what if I'm good at the stuff I enjoy?

You must be entertaining while doing so or maybe giving them some confirmation for their taste - even when you disagree, you should hypocritically praise their favorite anime (what I guess Chibi Reviews MO is).

It has slowed down the past few months due to studies but its still quite good.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Your list is only sad if you lie about what you watched or read to inflate the numbers.

I could watch a lot of anime when I was younger, but now that I have a fulltime job, my ability to binge out a season or two a day is limited. Thus, if numbers were really important to someone, they could easily catch up to my list by just taking a year or two off work.

Now, I will comment that if someone does really care about having watched more anime than others, my only suggestion would be to commit to that now, before I retire from work and have the power of time AND money at my disposal.

@Fluffygreygrass Free Time I guess. Also you get burned out after a while.

Not particularly. Wanna finish so many good shows that picked my interest. But don't have that time.
Just don't obsess over it.

I really don't care about my anime progress!! I didn't know anyone cared about this. They're just entertainment shows, so why do you feel any regrets? I've been watching anime since I was a kid, and there are people who watch it in much larger numbers than me, and they started watching it recently. It doesn't depend on the numbers, but rather on your free time and passion for watching. Don't forget that there are many things in this life that are more important than watching movies and series. You should think about your future, your success, and your family. As for the rest of the entertainment, it's secondary, so it shouldn't occupy your mind or time. We watch it just for fun. I wish you the best in your life.

My whole progress, I don't mind it, even tho majority of my anime watched time, has been dedicated to Bleach [as my list doesn't include reactions, random singular rewatches etc.]

I don't care about the numbers I've gained, I care more about the stuff I've actually enjoyed, I wouldn't be happy if my list would be twice or thrice bigger but with mean score of 3-4, even if I don't mind watching from time to time a worse show, I also don't want to spend whole days watching shows I don't find enjoyable. I guess my own mean score already should reveal that I do focus mainly on stuff I find enjoyable with some ocasional checking of stuff which are more obscure, unknown, worse etc.

I guess mine is pretty good.

Also the "Thread vastly rewritten to remove personal storytelling." part of OP's post is funny. 🤣
