I'd say 2 or 3. It's hard to follow when you've got more than 3 animes playing at once.

I do follow this ^_^ and the reason for that. I want to know the names of the character because sometimes I just tag along with the Series but not the name of the characters UNLESS they are very interesting to me xD

Yeah I agree with 4 series at one time though I could see doing 5 or 6 if 3 or 4 of them are currently airing and you're watching them on a weekly basis

20, and you need to have a individual screen for each one of them, and of course they all need to be on 2x speed

Need to boost that list, if y'know what I'm sayin

I like to keep 20 anime in my current watch list. It was 10 before but once I hit the 100 anime milestone I decided to do a little "upgrade".

My style for watching is 2 episodes of one anime and then I usually switch to another show and do 2 episodes for that one, etc, until I quit for the day.

I handle at 5 - 6 anime at weekly basis; yet, may have the time to watch 7 in one go since watching one that is completed is usually in a daily basis.

It depends on how invested you want to be. There are some anime where I watch them just to make the time go by. They are entertaining, and I like the characters.

However, if there is an anime that truly takes my interest, and I even take interest in the fandom, then I'd probably watch just that or maybe one or two more.

This is the first season where I have really kept up with 5+ animes, and I can honestly say I remember the names of like 1 or two characters per show. If that.

As of right now I watch 3 shows. Since I am still new to anime I am watching one of the long running shows in my case that show is one piece I am also watching a already completed show as my second and the third show I watch is a slice of life. I am considering making the jump to 4 shows because alongside one piece which I am currently watching I might start another one of the long running shows.

As many as you want to and can keep straight.

I personally watch however many shows sound interesting from the current season (usually 5-10) and a couple completed older shows on the side. Right now I'm watching 9.

i try to keep a limited amount around, 1-3 or 1-2 at once.

it gets all too complicated keeping track of a lot of anime at once. i dont update MAL every second so yeah.

it depends what you mean at once as well. what i usually do is when i get reccomended short anime, i watch 1/5th of it then move on the next anime, watch 1/5th of that one etc until last then choose which was one most interesting and binge watch that one, the binge watch next, etc.

max is 7 at once but preferrably go low like 1 or 2.

For me I've kept with the pattern of two TV shows at once, anime or no. One show will either be short (<26 episodes total) or be currently airing, while the other has a large amount of episodes currently released.

For example, I'm currently watching Code Geass (short) and Yugioh 5D's (long).

As much as you think you can follow. Though I think this statement is better for watching things in seasons, as there are few animes going out together. But if you want to see something which isn't airing, I'd recommand one.

when I was really into anime (2008-2010)....i would easily watch 15+ new anime plus another 5+ older anime each season.

Now it's about 5 or 6 altogether.

When you've seen so much anime, eventually everything starts to look the same.

Personally, I started watching most of the seasonal ones, and I don't regret doing so. I can still follow the stories in all.

Outside of airing anime, I usually watch 3 at most simultaneously, and mostly just one, as I prefer binge-watching completed anime.

Hahaha!

Well, it depends, if all the anime you are watching are really good there's no limit. But when some along aren't that great it'll get hard to keep up if you have too many...
I think 7 is decent though, 1 per day. Good balance!

*Looks at my watching list of 47*.

As many as one personally handle. Nothing more to it than that. If some people can't keep up with multiple series, then they should only watch as many as they can. There's no magical number that's the 'correct' amount of anime that one should watch at any particular time.

Practically airing shows don't really matter cause you only get one episode a week. At the most I've only watched up to two completed shows at once.
