Best way to watch anime. Don't spoil yourself, enjoy the nostalgia, and watch in one or two sittings easily. Cheddar popcorn is a must.

Going in blind: I don't read reviews, don't watch trailers, any promotional material, etc. I just start series following "hunches", if I found them randomly on a TV network and said to mylself "I kinda liked it"....or following friends unspoiled reccomendations.

Up to date: Dragon Ball Super is the first (and only) series I have watched while currently airing, and I've seen all of its aired episodes so far.

Well-versed in the classics: not counting movies, updated versions of a same series (like DBZ Kai), and OVAS continuing a series premiered pre-2000 (like the Saint Seiya and HXH ones), 83% of my completed list consists of pre-2000 shows

Going in Blind - You don't let yourself get tainted by promotional material, reviews, or previews.

I pretty much 99% of the time go by anime descriptions, so I don't look at promos/reviews/previews. Well... I check out promos sometimes but they don't do much. Just need the synopsis for the show to know if I'm intrigued or not.

For Love of the Plot - Save the panty-shots and gratuitous swimwear episodes for someone else: you watch your anime for the plot. No, really. It's not your fault every anime feels the need to include some cleavage, now is it?

I guess... I watch for entertainment which would include the plot, don't care about the panty shots and what not really, so I guess I got this? lol.

Expert Binger - You have the skill (and time) to sit down and watch every anime of up to 26 episodes in one or two sittings.

I've done this, but don't anymore. Does that count?

Seiyuu Recognition - Does that voice sound familiar? It does to you. You've developed the skill to recognize anime voice actors by their voice alone. You can name Yui Horie from two lines of dialogue. You are the seiyuu expert.

If I watch dubbed (english), I can do this usually. I tend to notice the characters voice sounding similar. Although I can't name the actual VAs since I don't know their names to begin with. I don't read the credits and I don't look them up, so it's more like "Sounds like.... -insert character here- from -insert anime here-. Cool."

4/15, not bad I guess?

I would put Going in Blind too, but a lot of the time I watch shows based on reviews and overall recognition.

I don't bingewatch that much anymore though. Last time I binged more than 10 episodes was over a year ago o.

Used to have a No Drop Policy, but Re:Zero and Chobits are just sooooo bad. I might finish them and go back to that policy though.

Probably Going in Blind and Expert Binger
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.

Earned:
No Drop Policy - I might lose this one. Not sure if I'll ever actually finish Naruto: Shippuuden after already finishing the manga.
For Love of the Plot - Of course I watch it for the plot, what else is there to see?
Expert Binger - Not everytime, but it's no problem if I'm really hooked.

Not quite:
Going in Blind - I don't intentionally watch trailers or previews, but I do usually skim through one or two reviews before adding it to my "to watch" list. And with the amount of anime I have on that list I probably saw some footage from at least half of them by this point.

To do:
Endless Patience - I'm still wondering if I should first read the novel, the manga, or watch the anime and what order I should even watch it in. :P
One List to Rule Them All - Endless struggle since it seems to be growing faster than I can watch it.

No Drop Policy - No thanks, I don't hate myself that much just yet

Perfect 10 Only - My IQ is over 10 making me able to differentiate.

Going in Blind - I never read reviews/previews and almost never watch trailers so I guess I qualify

Nostalgia Addict - I resent the implication that I only rewatch for nostalgia and not because the best just deserves to be experienced multiple times. But I do barely qualify, having watched Bebop 3 times.


Up to Date - No Conan here so I guess not, but I've watched every long-runner from the last 10 years or so while they aired (from FT and BLeach to Toriko HxH and World Trigger to Ace of Diamond and whatnot. Only missing DBS I guess, but I eventually plan to get to it just like I did with DB Kai

For Love of the Plot - yeah don't need sexual fanservice

Genre Addict - the description implies not watching much aside from that genre so I guess it doesn't fit because I value variety a lot but I actually do consider myself addicted to certain genres that I keep coming back to, watching everything that I can get my hands on. Mainly sports, battle shounen and mystery.

Recommendation Guru - I recommended my fair share of anime over the years, even got people into the medium. But having seen so much it's often hard to limit myself to one or two recs, it's impossible to choose just a small amount when so many shows usually come to my mind. So I try to stick with recommending the stuff people are unlikely to get recommended by other people, the niche and/or older titles.

Expert Binger - the description of this one contradicts itself, first it talks about binging shows you really like (I do that) and then about binging every show under 26 episodes (I don't do that). But I decided to count it.

Karaoke Master - I certainly do skip OPs and EDs but I also sung along countless times so based on the title of the 'achievement' I think I qualify :P

Seiyuu Recognition - I definitely recognize a few seiyuus, and even more I recognize the voice without knowing the name by heart

Well-versed in the Classics - It's far from the majority (partly due to watching a lot of seasonals for a lot of years, partly due to how many shorts/music videos/commercials are in the DB from the post 2000 era, but I've still watched more pre-2000 anime than most people so I decide to count that ^^

Endless Patience - I did watch every episode of the endless eight arc, if that's what they were getting at. But I never rewatched Haruhi.


One List to Rule Them All - far from it, I only managed to reduce it to under 500 titles, it used to be over 700.

No Anime No Life - I watched my 1000th anime in 2014 :>
I probably regret this post by now.

-Karaoke Master (I'm ashamed of this....)

Going in Blind - I don't even watch the majority of trailers in the first place, only the good stuff like Keijo and Nekopara. For new seasons, a good majority of shows I just watch the first episode and go from there. (Most get dropped).

Nostalgia Addict - Might not really apply to me since it's been less than a year since I rewatched something I considered my favorite but definitely seen it more than 3 times.

Recommendation Guru - I'd say more than half of my posts are in the recommendation section.

Expert Binger - Finish a 2 cour show I'm enjoying in 1 sitting? Easy peasy. Shame I haven't seen anything like that in a while though.

Seiyuu Recognition - I'm all about dem seiyuus.

No Anime No Life - It only says watch, so easily clear this if I include all the shows I've dropped and stuff I forget to add and all the hentai I've seen.

Might qualify for a few others.

One list to rule them all: my cw is simply decorative, I never bothered to update it.

Going in Blind:Well, if you exclude source material ofc

No anime, no life: Don't bother to add ova, some shorts, forgot plenty of movies and a few titles

Endless Patience: watched it, watched it with friends, as well as that one time with the cousins

Recommendation guru: pretty much

Expert binger: not much now, but back in college, oh man, those sweet long summer vacations.

Seiyuu Recognition: Don't know the names, but I can recognize the voices, especially funny when I said, holy shit, that's Kirito when Betelgeuse appeared in Re:Zero while watching at a mate's flat, he was in disbelief at first.

Nostalgia Addict: well not all of them, but some.

Genre Addict: fantasy and SoL masterrace

I kinda doubt the Well Versed in the Classics. Despite watching plenty of those, I don't think I have more than 500 under my belt. Maybe 200 or so at least.

Nostalgia Addict: Specifically No Game No Life (I've seen it like 5 times already.)
For Love of the Plot: While I don't have a problem with fanservicey shows, they have to have at least some other reason for me to watch it (that includes deals with some of my friends, who are ecchi fans, so yeah. I don't choose those ones myself.)
Recommendation Guru (partial): Only offline, and usually to the uncultured swine people who haven't started watching anime yet. Sometimes I suggest things for my experienced friends, but they usually have their own lists to go through anyway.
Karaoke Master (partial): I'm pretty sure my lyrics are usually an insult to all Japanese people out there, but I usually have the notes and rhythm down and can bs the Japanese enough to fool people IRL.

Going in Blind - Don't know if reading the paragraph that gives a description of the anime counts or not, on MAL or Kissanime for example. I certainly don't read reviews, watch promotional stuff or watch trailers, so I'll count it, I guess.

Nostalgia Addict - I've seen multiple anime more than 3 times.

Up to Date - I don't watch Naruto and One Piece weekly since I get bored of doing that but I do catchup on them at the end of the year. Then once I've caught up I stop again until its end of the year and repeat. So I guess I don't earn this one but I'm always close to it.

For Love of the Plot - Always watch for the story/plot of the anime. If fan-service becomes over-bearing I tend to stop watching.

Genre Addict - Do love watching slice of life and comedy anime.

One List to Rule Them All - Never used the plan to watch section. So that probably the easiest achievement I've got.

The rest of them, I'm not even close to achieving except for endless patience but I'd rather not see that again.

Going in Blind- I give almost anything a try and going in without knowing anything about the show makes it even more interesting
Nostalgia Addict- I've seen my favorite shows at least 10 times or more, I'm a rewatch master
Recommendation Guru- you need an anime to watch? I'm your guy
Expert Binger - I've finished 26 episode seasons in a sitting before, I'm no novice to binging
Karaoke Master- Half the reason I watch shows is to listen to the OP and ending, love the music
Seiyuu Recognition- im kinda ashamed to admit it, but ya I notice the voice actors
Endless Patience- this is kinda like banging your head against a wall for 8 episodes, then rewatching those 8 episodes and doing it all over again.....

After reading this I can't believe how many categories I fit in......not too proud of that to be honest lol

It's funny how some of these "achievements" are easier for casuals (all 10s, no drops, rewatched your favourites, and zero PTW), while others are dedicated to people who have seen a lot (recommendations, 1000 completed, and seiyuu).
