Normally, no. Just on occasions when the context/dialogue is interesting enough for me to share/discuss with some friends, but I will delete them after. I don't collect screenshots. It hasn't harmed my experience, but it may if I do it every second. Then again, I usually wait until a whole scene ends before going back to the part where I want to take a screenshot of.

Yes, almost like an impulse. Mostly for references, quotes & scenic frames.

I do, but not that often. Just when I see a cool wallpaper potential or if I need to translate something that the fansub didn't :/

Sometimes I take a screenshot to something that I can use as a pfp or as a wallpaper, but I do it occasionally since I need to remove the subtitles

Yes, although only started 2-3 years ago (hence, I still lack for most of my favorites) and increased the amount with time. If you don't want to ruin the flow and you just saw something worth-screening just take a screenshot a few seconds afterwards without pausing and once the ep is done you get it right with the timestamp.

Right now I have ~11000. More than 400 stitches as well, which I might share a few now because why not:

I mean if they're your favorites, they probably deserve a rewatch since the past 3 years.

Yes, I used to post episode review in my blog, so I have to screenshot most scenes of a certain anime.

But lately I'm too lazy to do that, I rather reviewing the whole anime instead

yeah I used to do that until I realized how useless it was since a majority of them would just stay in my gallery forever

I have never thought about doing that before, mostly because I don't want to break immersion.

a lot, sometimes it's because it's a cute moment, or the reactions of the characters were funny or they look hella good

fascinating, isn't it, how often heroic and foolish turn out to be one and the same

Maybe, when I finish an episode which has gorgeous art or scenery.

An anime that is literally that would be 5 cm per seconds, or as some call it, 5 wallpapers per second.

Sometimes if the dialogue said is epic or if it can be used as a good meme material

I do take screenshots, but of great scenes, or of a great phrases. Which makes the anime in question that much more memorable.

Only when there's a frame that I want to use as a display picture, of when I need the three frames of a character talking for lip syncing in AMVs; not while watching the show, but after I'm done watching.

I delete them right after unless they can be used as reaction pic, but for some series I like I do it all the time, especially for comedies. After that I post them on discord in the channel for that series and delete the pic from my computer.

Usually not.

Only have I for I think the 'what anime from this season do you recommend' scene in Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui.

Never done so for any scenery.

I usually remember most scenes the same as in video games and never use the photo mode.
