| Is it worth or no ? I mean, aren't you confused with all these anime? Personally I like having 2-3 animes of different kind according to my different moods but I see some who look at tens at the same time and it always intrigued me xD Sometimes I would like to start more anime too but I'm afraid of getting too confused So what do you think ? Peace guys! |

| Never understood how people watch so many anime at a time lol, I once tried watching 4 anime at once and I didnt enjoy that much, so went back to watching one at a time(Detective Conan and Gintama are exceptions, I sometimes watch one or two episodes of these after I finish some other anime) |
 |
| Just because you get confused watching multiple shows at a time, doesn't mean other people do. It's that simple. To each his own watchlist. |
| People can do that. That's all. What's the point of seasonal if they can't? |
| I sometimes usually try not to get too immersed so I'll watch like maybe 2-3 episodes of one show at a time, and then maybe I'll go do something else. Then maybe the next day, I'll watch another 2-3 episodes of a separate show. I'd like to say that I have a decent memory, so I don't really get confused with two different things happening in two other different settings. |

| It's like studying multiple subjects at once. Of course, if you try to cram everything in 1 day it won't work, so you do some schedule of what you wanna watch in a week or so. That's why watching seasonal shows are good since they have a fixed schedule. |
 |
| The amount of shows that have a real plot are minimal, that is one huge help at the time of watching lot of shows. Also, in my case, I just remember almost everything I watch because I pay attention and especially if I'm enjoying it. |
 |
| Watching multiple anime at a time lets you watch what you're in the mood for. Plenty of series aren't good to binge so splitting time between 2 or more series works well in my experience. Remembering what was happening and in which series has never been a problem for me. I could return to a show after months and have no trouble after checking the end of the last episode I watched. Plot heavy shows are the hardest to keep track of but I'll usually binge those anyway so it's never been a problem. |
| Interspersing episodes, as in not watching all episodes of one show before watching another, I sometimes do that. Watching two episodes literally playing at the same time, no. |

| for sure it's worth. I usually watch around ~10 nonseasonal's (5 1-cour, 5 2-cour) just so there's that variety always there. Unless the show is 10 worthy and in some cases 9, or if it's laughably bad then I don't think I could sit through from start to finish without losing interest |

avdx101 said: > If it makes the list grow, it is worth it.With all these people talking about watching anime at x2 speed, I wouldn't be surprised at all. If it makes the list grow, it is worth it. OT: I usually watch an anime or tv show that finished airing, and a few ongoing others. I feel like I'm more invested this way. This is, like, the Rita Repulsa approach to watching anime "MAKE MY LIST GROW!!" |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| No, watch one at a time to be more immersed and understand the story better. Only watch 2-3 Anime if you are watching weekly (which is what I did with TPM and Mob Psycho last season) |
| Totally depends. Right now I'm watching Monster, but since it's 74 episodes I like to pace myself and watch other things in between. I do the same for any longer series. In terms of shorter one/two-cour series, it depends on how invested I am. If I really love the show, I can easily binge it in a day or two (I recently watched Welcome to the NHK and binged it in 48 hours). At this very moment, I'm watching 7 different series and reading 4 manga, and I can pick any of them up right where I left off with no issues. To each their own; I just like variety. |

| Its hard for me to watch the same thing dozens of times without getting bored, with very few exceptions. I like to have at least a couple of shows and swap between them when I am getting bored. Oh yeah and watching anime at 2x speed is a no-no. Its supposed to be something fun, not a chore that you gotta rush through. You aren't speed running a video game or something. You are just ruining the experience for yourself just to up some number nobody cares about. |

| Besides seasonal, which I watch because keeping myself on a schedule helps me get through more things because I'm making sure to watch a certain amount each week, I tend to watch at least 2 series at the same time, usually with different tones about them because sometimes, I'm in the mood for one thing and sometimes I'm in the mood for something else. Especially with longer series, it helps keep me from getting burnt out of a show. For shorter shows, it's usually only 1 at a time though. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| No. Watching multiple shows every day is pretty normal, and everyone around the world did this before the internet. Some people keep saying "I don't get how these guys watch multiple shows at the same time" Have you heard of television? That's how it works. An episode of a show airs once a week or every day and people watch multiple shows in one day. It's not difficult to keep up at all. |
 |
| My watch list looks pretty packed, but it's actually not a big deal. If you break it down, there are long runner, seasonals(many of them are ok weekly, maybe even better than watching them in a few sittings), long episodic series like Lupin III and Patlabor TV which don't suffer either. Touch, well it's really slow paced and you don't miss anything if you just watch a few episodes every now and then. So yeah, effictively I'm only focussing on 4 other series atm. Many anime don't even demand an isolated focus, unless it's a heavily plot driven story. |

| I switch between two at a time + seasonal anime. I feel like I can at least balance that much if there aren't too many seasonals that is. I don't wanna mix/mess up my perception of different anime, and i'm afraid that'll happen in case I watch too many. |

| It's worth it, I think. I see some people comparing it to watching regular TV and I agree. I can't just keep watching only one thing at a time or I would get bored of it quickly. Especially for seasonal, which has you waiting an entire week between episodes. It would probably eventually get confusing the more shows you start, but that's why I have a strict <20 rule. I also have different types of shows, but I space them out for different time constraints, instead of for different moods; sequels, seasonal, new shows, slice of life, and long shows. I cycle between each of those depending on how much time I have to watch anime. If you're worried about keeping track of more shows then don't do it. I'm also a completionist that likes to have my rotation of shows finished within the year, so more often than not I'm watching a lot at once for times-sake, not always to circumvent boredom. |

| I don't watch seasonal but I watch 1-4 shows every month so I don't think I can watch multiple anime at the same time. |
 |
| If you have never seen One Piece or Naruto, would you watch those all the way through without watching other shows? I watched a little over 300 episodes of OP when I first started but now I watch a few episodes here and there. I'm around the 405 at this point. I thought I could watch the whole series and catch up. I like to watch multiple series at once and finish a few of them the same day. That way I can mix genres and not get sick of them. I have 260 "watching," but most of those are because I was too lazy to select PTW and just clicked. That being said, I'm still in the process of finishing over 50 series (10-26 eps) with only a handful of longer series such as OP, Kenichi , Maison Ikkoku. If it's something where I need to really pay attention(Steins Gate), I'll watch as much as I can in a sitting rather than a few episodes here and there. |

| Yeah it is worth it if you have a decent memory. I understand why younger people or people newer to anime might now want to though. |

Peace guys! Speaking for myself, at least, I'm not watching hundreds of shows at the same time. Some of them, I haven't seen in years, but I also have no reason to place them on hold. |

| Weekly releases aside, I usually watch 1 or 2 anime at a time, and only 1 or 2 episodes a day for each. More than that and I feel I'm not giving the series the 'attention' they need. I try to pick anime from different genres, so I can choose what to watch depending on my mood. I apply that same rule to live action series and cartoons, too. |
| I usually watch around 5-15 shows, which is usually a combination of shows from the current season and older completed shows I haven't seen. I don't confuse what I'm watching, no, since they all have different casts and stories. Although, I do max-out at around 15+ shows simply because I just don't have the time with work and such. |

| I'm currently watching 8 shows and I find I don't really forget anything or I get reminded in the new ep if I did forget anything. |
 |
| i agree, i think my limit is 10 shows at once more than that and i will not much enjoy each of them but who will replace Stark700 to make new episodes discussion threads? lol |
| I usually watch up to atleast 2-5 titles unless im up for it |

| back in days where I watched stuff weekly (seasonals/TV releases) I used to watch up to 25 Anime at once. I were fairly used to it so didn't have much of an Issue. Though having time for it became an issue. |
 |
| I would not recommend this. At first it's easy to keep track of it, but if you take a break or struggle to find time for watching, you will probably just focus on one show over the others and those will be stuck in "watching" list forever (that's what happened to me ;_; ) |
| I always watch seasonal anime and then amongst all the seasonal anime I then just watch 1 aired anime at a time thou as I don't have a lot of time for binge watching anime so I usually watch a episdoe or 2 a day of the already aired anime |
| Wait, i though watching 20+ anime per season is normal. |
 |
| I'm watching over 80 anime at a time for about two years now. I just can't just watch the same show when I want to watch anime. Ah, and most of them aren't seasonals. My memory is great, I can't see how you could mess up a story with another in your head. |

| I can handle 2 anime at the same time, but the progress of watching takes so long ~.~ |
| I'd say it's hard for me to watch just one anime at a time, I need some variety for different mood and to not get bored. Anime itself is not a rocket science so keeping track on multiple shows is not a challenge, besides they are different, in story, style and characters, that itself makes it impossible to get confused. |
  |
| When it comes to seasonal anime i don't mind how much i watch at the same time. But for already completed anime i like to stick to 2 at a time at most. |
| I watch about 20 something series in the same time, I like it better this way. I don't see what's confusing about it. |
    |
| I don't watch more than more than 3-4 finished at the same time, and there are also about 6-10 seasonals I watch per season. I also don't really get how people can watch tens at the same time, but to each their own. |
 |
| I can handle many series at once but usually i'll focus on one and ignore the rest. Seasonal watching is the exception as long as they don't release on the same day |
| Objectivity? In my anime scoring? Of course not... |
| I can watch 2 series at the same time possibly with different genre. For example if the first one seems getting darker or heavy to watch I will switch to the second one which has a lighter genre. |

| I tried to watch a lot of animes all at once but ended up watching 1-3 episodes of each and pick up another anime without ever finishing anything until it became a habit. Nowadays I watch 4-7 animes; I pick a few seasonal animes to watch and while waiting on new episodes I watch other animes which finished airing long ago. It isn't as overwhelming as what I was doing before and feels much better for me. I tend to lose interest and focus pretty fast if I watch too many animes at the same time, but that's just me. |
