Do you guys know someone who has seen lots lots of anime and is still active? I've read this today and I got curious.

I've noticed that spacecowboy is still active but most people were doubting if they were legit and I too am not really sure.

it doesn't mean that can't be one now, almost 4 years had passed so maybe people could be interested in it again now.

There is this one: https://myanimelist.net/profile/DateYutaka
But pretty hard to believe. That would mean he spent every minute he was awake (with 6 hours of sleep a day) watching anime in the past 8 years and even at this, we ignored the twice as much time spent on manga. That's just physically impossible to consume this much even in 20 years. That would mean you literally don't do anything else, but watching anime and reading manga.

An this one too, with a much lesser number compared to the previous suggestion, but still quite a lot by my standards ( he's also the news section mod): https://myanimelist.net/profile/Stark700

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Fake as fuck. With only 8 hours a day spent on anime alone would be 15 years tho achieve this. And then I assumed that on top of the 6 hours sleep time he had at least a part time job and miscellaneous activities when he couldn't watch. A consistent 8 hours every single day is still unbelievably high.

And then, there is the manga which brings up that to around 40 years. Someone who's that much of a shut in otaku for that long would just die.

Yeah, but IF your list is up to date, you don't have an insane number. Less 1.5 completed anime a week since you registered here. There are some longer stuff, 23 anime longer than 30 episodes, but also over 100 that are 6 episodes or shorter to compensate. The rest (~200) is mostly average 12-26 episodes long TV anime. That means 1.5 hours a day on average.

We are talking about someone who mathematically had to watch 5 times as many hours a day as you did for almost 2 decades. I can easily accept that he is well over 1 or 2 thousand, that would already give him way more than average experience with anime. But near 7k anime with over 14k manga? Over 14 years worth of content? Maybe if he is around 50 years old and consuming japanese media is directly related to his carreer.

saying that won't change anything i watched mirai nikki at that speedor 4x don't remember and i understood it all but i didn't put it in my list until i watched it again normally because it will be unfair for the people who have to watch it normally and making those 20 min ep need a lot of money so i should watch each min so don't show off if u reach 10000 anime with that speed because any one would be able to do that with that speed like now i can watch anime on 3 tv at the same time with a speed of 4x and i will probably beat you

And you shouldn't be. That 14 years is a continous total play+read time, meaning to achieve that in 14 years, you must read manga and watch anime in every minute of your life for 14 years without sleep, going to work or school or even to the bathroom.

I would say "understanding" or even "watching" anime is pretty relative in that case. There's a reason why something is made to be 20/40/90 minutes long. By speeding that up you're not experiencing the work the way it's intended to be seen.
It's like driving through a museum with a moped and bragging about having seen more paintings than everybody else.

My mind absorbs the words quicker than the average person and my eyes gotten used to the speed. I can understand 8x perfect thanks to this.

btw you don't have to watch 20 min of a 20 min episode, just understand and remember it. I always make sure I know the story very well.

so i watched an anime ep of 24 min with a 8x speed which made the ep ration 3minutes and 2 sec
this sentence in the sub 'he doesn't understand a thing about the greatness or value of magic' took 5.6 sec to end
but with a speed of 8x it took 0.67 sec to end
there are no way u could read that in 0.67 sec and even if u could you wouldn't be able to concentrate on the movement or action of the character at the same time

I said I can understand 8x, I didn't say I watch anime in 8x all the time. From watching that 3 min, I can understand the episode as a whole. It's the fact I remember it and know what happened. When you have goals that you want to fulfil in limited time, a few missed lines isn't important. I'm not a perfectionist who just has to read every single line in normal speed.

I think Stark or Tsubasa or users like that are probably the top? People who seem to watch most airing shows and be the first to post discussion threads about them.

To each their own, but if someone is watching anime at an increased speed, that doesn't count for me (at least in a competition sense. If they enjoy it they can do that, but I wouldn't consider them as having "seen the most").

i watched all the ep in 8x speed and 3.5 speed and i guess u were right you can understand the ep as a hole but still some important scene may be missed and those can be extremely important at least watch anime at a speed of 2.5 not 3.5

But you probably didn't. Tablets and smartphones like today just didn't exist 14 years ago. You had to bring a physical copy of manga with yourself. Anime is a bit easier. The cellphones like this one were able to play videos at the time, but their built in memory were laughable and the memory cards you could buy couldn't hold more than a few episodes. Back then I had this with a 256MB MMC card and this was far from low-end. And cellphones fully capable of this weren't a thing until around 10 years ago. And even then, only high-end. So it had to be a laptop or nothing, and that's much bigger so it's unlikely that he can watch or anything during class unnoticed.

Depending where you live it would be possible to spend more than 10 hours a day watching illegal streams wihtout a job. But That also means your life is non existent and also I dont believe these people watch their stuff with high concentration and just let the TV/PC monitor on being in a lethargic half coma state.. Also some people are too self centered and dont contemplate that there are people older than 30 and 40 still watching anime.

But, unless you dont speak Japanese I think its impossible to have watched a lot before the mid 90s. Because the data transfer rate was too low (just google when it was possible to burn CDs) fan sub groups didnt have a big market, so not much was translated, also it wasnt easy to manage without PC technology. My first HDD had about 1000 MB. Thats not really much space for digital videos with a decent quality. Thus Subbing was done by pros.

What Im trying to say is, that you really couldnt have gained a Wide knowledge of animes before that time, at least not without much effort. That means the main part of someone's anime knowledge must come from the last 20 years, which reduces the possible "watched time".
