Why would I set a goal? It's not a job or anything lol
I just watch how much I feel like. Sometimes it's 3 episodes a day, sometimes 25.

Definitely. I try to finish a series (as long as it's under 40 episodes) during the weekdays and then watch a few OVAs at the weekend.

No I don't bother about these things. Anime is not a chore but for entertainment purposes.

I try to finish at least one show per month. It's not really a high goal, but I have more stuff to do outside of anime.

I don't really have goals, but when I'm watching a show I sometimes think something like: "You can probably still watch a few episodes"

Yup, but only for school holidays and sometimes weekends if I have spare time. But if I had tons of homework to do I would only stick to watching airing anime which is probably around 3-4 hours of anime a week.

For school holidays (if I had no homework like this very moment), I would usually aim for at least 4 hours or more a day.

No I don't make goals because watching anime is not a chore/homework for me.

How much I watch is depended on my mood and how much I like what I'm currently watching.

I used to try watch a number of episodes a day. At this point, I'm a little burnt out so I watch only what I'm catching up with. So only Ninja Slayer; one 10 minute episode a week.

I already finished my first goal, which was completing 100 shows, now two more remain.

1. Watch all of the Pokemon films.

2.Watch all of the monogatari franchise.

I try to set mini goals along the way, examples being the two goals above. But i suppose i have no true goal but to enjoy the medium. It's all just one big quest, with no motivation or reward.

To keep me motivated to watch anime (I need to keep motivating myself to do things otherwise they never get done, thanks depression), I set a goal to watch ten anime per month. Usually these are 12 episode long shows. Worked so far.

Since I only get to really watch anime only during holidays, I try to watch ad many episodes in a day as possible, but I don't normally set rules or such on anime watching.

And won't setting up rules or goals divert the focus on to them instead of at the anime? I don't think I'll even try to do that.

I'm very lazy to even bother start watching a series (not the case with airing anime), but when I do start, I try to finish it as soon as possible, in most cases watching it in one day only (if it is 12-24 episodes).

This season it seems like I watch at least 4 full-length anime a day and like 12 on Saturdays. Why would I need to set any other goals when I'm already bogged down with stuff? The only goal I have is to try and only watch what I enjoy and drop anything that I don't. It's not going well this season, though. I wish it was like based terrible season last season.

For every new anime I watch, I try to watch an anime from the backlog. Doesn't always work out like that though.

Typically I do not set goals, because it is a form of entertainment and a hobby. Watching anime is something I'd only do when I'm in the mood to watch it..

But sometimes I have days and weeks where I am very busy and if during those weeks something comes out, or I started watching something and I'm really into it, I'll schedule and try to fit episodes in whenever I can. So I'll set goals to try and watch a couple episodes of the anime during the week if it's difficult to find time.

But usually I don't set any goals..

My goal for myself is to keep up with the airing shows and their weekly episode releases.

If I ever set a goal, it's "stop wasting time watching anime."

I definitely don't try to make myself watch more. It's for fun. And also is like a black hole sucking up all my time.

I try to watch at least one episode a day. I rarely fail. I was trying to watch more anime series than my cousin at one point, but now I've passed him so that's no longer a goal. I will be finished the anime watching challenge fairly soon. I have some goals about what anime I watch because only watching 12 episode moe anime gets boring after a while.
