| I'm currently a college sophomore and most of my anime time is spent at night (between 11pm and 3am). I have late afternoon classes, so I can watch/read plenty at night. Though I end up watching only a couple episodes because The Walking Dead is life right now. |
 |
| I'm already graduated. and done with my previous job. and now I live as a shut in. and do some freelance design sometimes for extra income. |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
| fortunately i never had to do much in school or university to achieve good/average grades and since im lazy that's enough for me. you can save lot of time if you skip a few lectures and read (+ understand) the script on your own bottle said: When you're both good in maths and medic, also know how write program, you can write program to invest in stocks no, no you can't. btw. i think the people with 500-800 anime just started earlier and keeping up with seasonal shows isn't that hard. i mean 15anime/season is like 5 hours a week - not much if you ask me |
 |
| I have more than 800 anime completed. But then again,I'm already 27 years old with job/work. I started watching anime more than 10 years ago so I guess it's given I will have that many anime completed in my list. You need to take into consideration anime movies as well. Unlike TV series, anime movies are not that long to be completed and instead, can be completed in one go. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Some of the animes and mangas in my list are from way way back when I was a student. When I was studying, I normally watch anime after school. But during college, watching became less and less. I can onlt manage during school breaks. Now I manage to watch during my lunch break at work and read manga during my travel to and from work or when waiting or something. |
| I study as a college student. Though i doubt i will continue being at this college where i am now |
 |
| I'm still a student going to school. I haven't watched as much anime as I wish I have, but I don't always have time to devote to anime. Homework comes first, although I do procrastinate. However, most of the time I unfortunately put anime before studying, if I can. I'm bad at studying, but my grades are average, so I live with it. I don't expect myself to work my head off by studying all the time, I trust myself to give it my all when I take tests and exams. I just try my best. I don't expect much from me, just that I don't make my life miserable. If I study too much, it will mask my true potential and ability. I want to see how well I can achieve by myself and yet have a basic, hopefully at least a little enjoyable lifestyle that does not keep me stuck with my depression all the time. |
 |
| Yes, I do and I still have time to watch almost all seasonal anime. |
| Haha,theyre probably jammed all the anime into the list first,then watch it time by time.That means theyre lying. I believe most of the users work |
 Life is empty without anime |
There's only one way. I believe in you, OP. |
 |
| During weekdays i watch one or two episodes of already complete anime or maybe a movie/ova/special per day. During the weekend i catch up on the seasonals i'm watching. It's all up to planning your schedule and find some time to watch chinese cartoons. If you think that you don't have time to watch anime afterschool you can always transfer one or two episodes to your smartphone and watch them during lunch break |
 "Be who you are and say what you mean, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind" - Dr. Seuss |
| I really don't think it's that hard, just by watching 2-3 episodes a day you can finish a 1 cour show in 4-5 days. That is barely 1 hour of your time, doubt you would be that busy that you can't clear at least one hour of free time for your hobbies. For me personally, I have been watching anime for over 10 years so it just piled up over time although I have been watching a lot of anime last year but very little as of this year, still manage to watch 2 episodes a day and read a couple of manga/comics no matter how busy I am. |
 "One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle." |
| im still new got nowhere near those numbers |
| Scream! |
| Watch it during lunch breaks in my office (Mall Manager) or before I go to sleep |
| Watch anime after work? No magic to it. |
 |
| Balance and planning. I'm a very slow consumer of anime, but that's because I have MANY interests beyond my job. If I actually went and cut out my youtube channel or gaming, sure, I could easily double, triple, or maybe even quadruple the amount of anime I consume, |

| I'm about to finish my vocational highschool, and either pursue further education so i can get a higher paying job after, or just get a job right after this school ends so i have plenty of time, then again i don't spend much time watching anime. I guess study less, watch more anime. (But that's stupid) |

| Yes and Yes, 38 hour working week and studying for exams on the side. Wasting time is part of life, might as well be on anime. |
| Of course I work and I got an old car waiting for me to paint outside. |
| I binge on my Friday evenings, since that's the best time to do it. |
| No, we dedicate our lives to anime and shitposting on MAL. |
Beatex said: I see so much people with 500-800 animes and still watching all(most) season animes. I'm currently in college and i don't have time to watch anything. Summarizing HOW DO U GUYS DO IT?????? seriously teach me. I work 40+ hours every week, but outside of that I have few responsibilities that consume large chunks of time. I can easily fit in 6-7 hours of anime time (1 cour) every day after work. On weekends or vacation days off, I can at least double that. You just need to manage your time better. For instance.. queue up several episodes to play, and save restroom breaks for opening/ending credits. Learn to cook with a microwave. Pause the video for a couple mins to stir your food, and pause again when it's done. Sit to eat within sight of your monitor/tv and eat while you watch. Learn to live on less sleep. Each hour you shave off sleep time is typically 2 more episodes. It adds up over time. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| I study, but yea, hobbies like that may disrupt it a little. |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| It's not that hard. Watch an episode or two before you fall asleep. |
| Shoot even if you have all the free time in the world I don't know how some watch so much anime. After a while it would seem like you'll get tired of it, and plus most likely you have other hobbies/things for entertainment. |
| Yeah, I have a pretty serious and time consuming job, but I still manage to watch it, usually at night before bed or something. |

Summarizing HOW DO U GUYS DO IT?????? seriously teach me. That's easy. I just have regularly watched anime for about 10 years (starting from university, and continuing into working life). Surely you can spend a hour or two on entertainment every day? Days off and holidays are for watching even more anime, especially the complicated stuff. If you don't have any time for entertainment, you're doing something wrong, and you might collapse at any moment. |
| I study and i'm searching for a part time job. How do I watch a lot of anime? I usually watch anime in the evening and I don't do homework :p |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| 5 hours a day studying. 5 hours a day watching anime 3 hours for food 4 hours for personal things (such as pooping) 7 hours sleeping. It works. If you don't like sleeping you can do 7 hours animu/5 hours sleeping OR if you like eating and sleeping then 3 hours for study, 8 hours for sleeping, 4 hours for food. However, u'll still drop because 5 hours is NOT ENOUGH |
   |
| I usually dedicate 6pm-8pm to anime, and aim to finish whatever homework or studying that I have to do before that (so, the 3 hours after getting home). Free/study periods during the school day also help quite a bit ^u^ Or just wake up at like 7am on weekends to watch anime. I do that too :v |
 Once we seize space, we'll all... |
| When I get too obsessed in an anime, I also watch during my working hours. Then go home and eat dinner, shower and watch until 3am. |
 |
| anime > college i dont study unless there's a midterm or exam coming up. im not doing too bad in college so life is still good. |
| I study, do extracurricular activities and I can not see more than 5 episodes of some anime a day, do not know how these people live (if they live). |
| "There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths." ― Friedrich Nietzsche |
| I am an university student, I am going to take an exam on Wednesday but I am here watching anime XD |
| I work 5 days a week from 7-16 and it takes about 1 hour to commute (I bike). I have all weekend and 5 or so hours per day to work out, chill with friends, unwind and watch anime. Not that hard tbh. |
 |
| Yeah I work and honestly I haven't had much time for anime lately and recently started reading manga which took more time away from anime. Unfortunately keeping up with a season also kills time for a social life aswell. It's all about time management and prioritizing in the end. |
demonskul777 said: you watch anime and fail all your classes Exactly. That's how it works for me. |
| Depends what you're majoring in. When I was doing Software Engineering I had absolutely no time. But since I changed directions and went to a new major I have plenty of time now. I can't say it will be the same when I graduate at the end of the year and start working though. I definitely can't keep up with what I could do in High school, not enough free time. Also, not many of us sleep as much as we probably should. I had times where I would prioritize anime over sleep just to get a couple episodes in a day. Then again college is easy for those people that are okay with sliding by on Cs and Ds, I have no time because I hate getting anything less than an A. I take pride in my gpa, a lot of college students could care less. |
 |
| no, obviously everyone on mal just sits around all day and watches anime; nobody here has lives |
 Freddy Nicholas said: have control, be yourself, god is dead |
| Fuck yes, gotta be doing at least one or the other when you're over 18, or you're basically a NEET. Though now that I got a job since I graduated college, I literally only have free time on Sunday and a little bit of Saturday. Since then I've become pretty inactive here which is sad since even college gave me more free time than this. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| I was watching anime since the tender age of 5 years old, and gobbled up all anime I could find on TV until I turned 15. That's where 200 or so of my watched stuff came from. After that DVD's and internet became my main source (and thanks to the net, I also discovered manga and much later on, light novels). I graduated through primary, high school, and university with honors, and is working full-time for several years now. Right now I still watch around 10-15 anime per season (which is an all time high TBH). There is only one tip I can give you. If you want to continue enjoying anime (and other stuff like video games) without sacrificing your school/work and vice versa, learn to delay gratification. Watch after you've done your homework. Stop (and I mean STOP) all anime viewing (and hobbies in general, even reading novels) during heavy exam periods such as midterms and finals. If you're still studying that's great because you still have school breaks to look forward to (binge watch, binge whatever!). Anyways, treat your hobby as a reward not a duty , and you should be fine. Good luck! ^_^ |
