I'm just curious to see if people watch one or multiple anime at a time. I used to watch one at a time, but now I'm starting to watch 3 or 4 at a time.

I watch multiple at a time, but my "watching" list is not accurate, seeing as I haven't watched an episode of a lot of them in a while.

I try to stick to just one but I always end up picking up more and putting the others on pause. Right now it says i have 30 on Currently watching but that's not right. I just keep them there so I won't forget. Right now I'm watching 2 constantly.
For seasonals, i don't watch weekly. I just wait till they end.

usually 3/4 but during seasons they go up to 6/7 or even 8 sometimes. I try to finish 1 and get back to the rest though.

Only one at a time. More than that and it feels like a chore trying to watch several anime.

Sometimes I watch more than one at a time if both/all are airing still. I recently tried to watch two at a time since both were a little not my style. Mainly I like to focus on one though...

5 anime per season is about right. My "watching" list is actually an extension of "on-hold" list now that the season has ended.

if the anime is great and finished i will watch it in one day
but usually i watch like 7-10 anime at the same time
Since Koe no Katachi has a very high rating her on MAL, rated by nearly 100k users currently should we try to upvote the movie on the worlds largest database related to films? This movie only has around 4,5k votes at the moment. Let's all vote and make the rating higher?

if we make it more popular it will raise more money so it will support the anime industry and make anime more popular between all the peoples since IMDb is not an anime site
so more quality anime will be made

If we're talking seasonal then I have been able to do up to 20 per season.
If not, I don't try to watch multiple series at a time if I'm binge-watching through something else.

For Seasonals, I begin off with watching about 15-20 at most but then by the end of the season it comes down to about 5-10. Whereas, for the Completed series, I usually watch one at a time but I'm currently watching two at the moment. Sometimes, when I'm not in the mood of watching a particular anime even halfway through at times, I tend to pick another and keep the others on hold.

Three is typically the magic number for me. It's enough to where I can typically watch whatever genre I'm in the mood for without forgetting what happened previously due to watching other shows at the same time. The few times my desired genre isn't on my watch list are when I tend to watch movies.

For seasonal anime all depends, but if we talk seasonal I can watch around 20+ seasonal series. But recently I put the stuff that I am more interested in priority, the others I would put them on-hold.

If we talk about the stuff that I keep seasonally or binge... well, mixing them or without mixing them I can try to watch to 3-5 or maybe six at a time. But that's just in daily basis.

I used to be able to watch 45-52 seasonals with 3-7 old shows each month before I got burned out. That's around 15-23 episodes a day on average. It wasn't that hard for me to watch every new episode release because I don't talk with anyone and I did other things while watching anime.

Usually only 1-2 plus maybe another 1-2 that are airing. If it's a good season maybe a few more but there are usually only 1-2 worth finishing per season.

Every season, I usually pick 3-6 anime to watch at the same time, but the one that last to the end decreased.

Usually like 5-7, one completely new, some airing sequels or spin-offs, there's always one I'm rewatching, and that's about it.

Can watch up to 15 or so until I start dropping some bad ones as episodes start to come out. If not during season I just marathon one anime at a time.

It really depends, normally I like to watch 2 show plus the seasonals, and that 2 shows should be one chill and one with more action and plot.
But well, in times that I have more time, I usually watch more, maybe 3 shows at the same time plus seasonals.

Earlier, I used to watch just one anime at a time.
But completing an anime within a short time ruins the suspense and enjoyment. Now 3-4 at the same time feels good.

I have to limit myself to one at a time otherwise my low concentration span would cause me to start multiple at a time and never go back to them. Though this does also mean it takes me a long time to finish that One.

Wait. Am I missing something? What does this mean "at the same time?" like 2 MP4s open at the same time on minimized windows and watching them simultaneously ? Cuz I swear, someone does that?

Anyways, in seasonal, I watch everything as long as it's not a prequel (Even though I dont have much time). Although I drop some of em when they didnt spark my interest by episode 4.

I go back and forth all the time. Sometimes I'll be watching anywhere between 20-30 at the same time and other times I have a sort of "epiphany" and put everything on-hold and stick to just one at a time. That usually doesn't last very long because I'm the type of person that gets bored easily, but I'm also extremely easily amused, too, so having different shows to turn to a week really helps with not getting bored of anime in general (I don't want that to ever happen and I don't think it will, but I don't want to force myself through something no mater how good it is). Because of this, it's very rare for me to binge watch shows anymore unless someone in my real life does so with me (which is also very rare xD)

It's pretty simple in my case. One older and 10~20 seasonal.

I tend to stick with watching just one. It's easier to focus on a single story, than a couple. Plus it helps to prevent getting lost in the storyline.

I can watch many, but if I want to focus and judge an anime fairly, 2 at a time.

This should have a poll imho

I could never just watch one show, I'd get sick of it real quick. Normally have a few shows going of very different genres to spice it up. Personally limit myself to a 5 max so that I don't start forgetting stuff about one. In practice, I'm typically between 3-5 at all times.
