Yeah um... Probably not. Considering how the future might be going, I will never finish it
By the time I finish one show I added like 10 plan to watch 💀

Nope, As I go through it I add more when more gets released. Not to mention I don't go through as much anime as I use to because of work.

I once had 500ish or something sitting and I looked at my list and said "I an't ever gonna watch this shit, why did I list it here? I don't remember putting this shit here"

So now I have a list titled "Anime of Interest" where I'd rather have a fun interest in picking something out versus something that feels like a chore. And the core sentence of "Plan to Watch" implies that you PLAN on watching which is never the case for I and many.

GLHF to those with 1,000+ PTW.

I used to have more than 100 Anime's on my ptw, but then I looked trough it and realized there was many shows that I didn't really have any interest in. So I removed a lot of them and now I have around 30 shows that I think I'll watch trough eventually.

No, and I keep adding them. Maybe I should just remove most of them and only leave the ones that have a higher priority.

If I wasn't occasionally adding onto it, probably, yeah.

But as it stands, I'm always adding new anime I want to check out every so often. So, I doubt it, lol.

100% no and nor do I plan to. I use my PTW list as a list to pick out anime that picked me interest or just looked interesting from the picture.

No way, ever. My PTW is simply a place I can go and easily pick something that I have *any* interest in watching, it's not my goal to clear it someday to begin with. It's just a way for me to narrow down all the anime from the website that I have remotely any interest in.

Clearly not. Because I use my plan to watch list as a reminder and I often find animes that I would love to see at a higher rate that I see them. Mostly because lack of time.

So... no, my plan to watch list is condemned to be always with some animes :D

Depends on how strict we are. If we are only talking about stuff on there right now, then almost definitlely. However, if you mean do you think the number will ever realstically hit 0? Naw, probably not I intend to watch anime till the day I die at least to some extent, so even if I finish all the stuff on there now I know I'm just gonna add new ones to replace them.

At the rate I'm going, hell no. I can't even watch anime nowadays, as I am incredibly busy with school. But once I have the time and dedication to do it, I can see it happening. Just don't add anything though, or it'll be the same number over and over.

No, never, I keep adding anime to it endlessly and I hardly even watch what I add to that list, it's more or less plan-to-never-watch list, it's the same with other sites I use like Letterboxd too.

My ptw list has around 80 anime, and i add a new anime i find every day or so. Plus, when i start an anime, i finish it after like five months lol. if we're talking about the 80 anime in my ptw NOW the i'll probably finish them all, but if we're talkin about me having zero anime in my ptw at some point in the future it's IMPOSSIBLE.

Nope. Even if I cut my PTW in half, removing the stuff I'm unlikely to ever watch (which I really should do) I don't see it happening. It doesn't even factor in shows I've never head of, or shows that don't exist yet that I will want to watch. It's not a goal of mine anyway. I watch because I like it, not just to check off a list.

No... I started the list 5-6 years ago, and I don't think I ever used it. It's more like a recommendation list. I have 105 shows in it, and looking at how every time I start a new anime, is something seasonal, I don't see myself ever watching it. To be fair, 100 anime, can be watched in a year... they can be watched in 3 months or less if you have nothing else happening in your life.

*coughs in 300+ ptw list*

I was able to watch around 200+ anime in like 4-5 months during this year, but with school starting up I've only been able to watch around 1-3 episodes on weekdays and like 1-5 on weekdays. I doubt I'll ever be able to watch at that same pace ever again, but I think I might be able to make it through my PTW list that's never ending and growing.

It's impossible to finish PTW, but that's only because other than aired shows during this quarter that I have yet to move to watching, it consists of only not yet aired entries.

The PTW will continue to be like that because I automatically add any sequels/prequels/related entires that I get a notification on.

As if now I only have 72 in there. So yeah, for sure. Can't say the same for people with like 500 or even 1000 tho, lol.

Although I'm always occasionally adding an anime here and there so, ultimately it's a never ending stream

IDK maybe in a decade lol. I keep adding stuff with new seasonals so I doubt it. Plus I probably still will keep watching maybe new shows only for maybe a bit more but honestly it's been such a long time since I have done some re-watches. Seeing new content isn't going to be as a big of a focus for me compared to say when I first joined MAL. So I am just going to say probably not.

Plan to watch list is useless. Most of the time people don't even watch the next anime from their plan to watch list

Hmmmm, I don't think so? I certainly add to it often, but I also make it a point to keep it under 100 shows. Gotta keep some sort of balance.

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.
