Do you ever feel like you add too much to your lists, but never find the time to do so? Instead your lists only get longer, but you don't seem to be getting anywhere with them, even if you try and binge watch/ read?

I feel this. I have tons of books I want to read and tons of shows/anime I want to watch. I'm sort of getting somewhere with my anime list, but not so much with my book list. Hopefully I'll get to them soon.

Not in my case because there are very few anime spark my interest so my PTW list never gets bigger. By that, once I got time to watch anime, easily I will pick something on my PTW list.

I feel like if I add stuff to my PTW I'll feel guilty if I don't ever get to them. Most of my PTW is usually stuff that hasn't aired but recently I've been adding more to it.

YES! Oh God Yes, the list always grows, and just when i've chipped a chunk of the list down, I see another couple of Anime that makes me think "Yeah i'd enjoy that I think", add it to the list, then it just sits there until I get round to buying the set, then it sits on my desk with the rest of the pile lol

I used to not even use that function cuz I new I would add one million entries into it. I use it now it's hard to get through it. My video game backlog doesn't help either

I feel you. You look at it, and it's like well which show/ manga now? Would it be better to read/ watch this first? etc.

Yes, I have anime on my Plan To Watch list, that have been sitting there for quite sometime now lol. One of these days I'm going to just have to drop everything else and focus on completing them one by one.

I always buy mangas/books, but never have the time to read them.

And that's the same with anime. My have to watch list just gets longer and longer :/


I remember back then, no one would play with me.

Yes and no. On my anime PTW the more I have the more I feel satisfied because it just means I have a constant stream of new animes to watch. However, when it comes to manga it's a bit more of a chore since I have to be in a certain mood to read.

i have a huge plan to watch list, and i used to hate how big it was. but nowadays i feel zero pressure to complete it, so now i like seeing over 400 anime on there, just means i have plenty of variety in picking what i want to watch and have a pretty steady flow of stuff to watch

Only thing that suck is when I add something to my reading list but it isn't fully translated or translated at all.

Do you ever end up watching them at the same time? Just out of curiosity.

Despite its name, I don't explicitly plan to watch everything that's on my plan to watch list.
To me, it's just like a bookmark system where I put mildly interesting stuff that I may want to take a second look at again, at a later point.

A precursor to an actual plan to watch list, if you will.

That's why I don't add too much to my lists. I am aware I don't have much free time to watch/read everything, so I simply don't add.

i tend to add so many things to my ptr and ptw list, and sometimes when i feel like it's getting too big i remove a bunch of stuff so it becomes easier to clear the lists.

I add stuff to my list that grabs my attention at some point, and then they usually stay in the ptw list. Occasionally I'll remove a few in the list because I've realised I actually didn't want to watch them anyways. I'm rarely in the same mood I was when I added them, so I find a new show outsite of the ptw that seemed like a good fit at the time.

For not-yet aired shows, they'll stay if I find that my hype died by the time they started airing, or that I was too busy to start it seasonally.

*I like to look at the ptw as where anime goes to die*
