Another Season Means a Whole new Anime more to Come or Another Season..!!
When Watching Them Which Do you Prefer:

1. "WAIT IT" Means Waiting it to Finish the Anime to Air then Watch it Straight..!!

or

2. "WATCH IT" Means Waiting for a whole 7 days for the New Episode to come..!

I watch as shows air because then I can pre-order figures of favorite characters as they come out instead of having to find them way after the fact and hope that it'd be at a decent price.

"Watch it" most of the time but it depends on the series and how busy my schedule is.

It really depends.

The past few seasons I haven't really followed anything but one or two shows - the rest just got immediately backlogged or dropped. The one currently being Space Brothers.

But other seasons I'll keep up with a bunch of shows as they air.

"Watch It", It's always good to have something to look forward to in the week. It makes the week go faster if you really enjoy the anime.

I did the waiting thing boy was I wrong to do so, it's soo painful. I hate that waiting. ESPECIALLY if in the end it turned out terrible. Only down side is if you wish to talk about the episode and you go into the forums for each one to discuss no ones there =[

Depends on the series.If the animation and story is amazing I wait for the BD for extra amazing animation and maybe extra scenes.

If it's a series I cant wait for,like FZ or * monogatari,then I will watch every ep every week.

If I think an adaptation sucks,like SAO, I will just watch the tv broadcast and wont bother with the BD.

I watch long running -shounen-series every week.

There are some exceptions like bakuman and Tonari no Kaibutsu that I watch every week.

It depends what anime it is. For example, I usually wait to all the episodes of an anime comes out, but BTOOOM! came out and I instantly got hooked into it so I couldn't help but marathon the 8 episodes (at the time) that came out! It all depends on the genre and what i'm interseted in

Why do you want everyone to visit your profile?
Anyway, I usually watch the anime when it airs. Then I have something I can look forward to every week. If the anime is good, that is.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

I wouldn't even bother with anime/manga communities if it wasn't for ongoing series. I more or less pick up most shows of the season. When I pick manga its also irrelevant whether its finished or still ongoing.

If you choose to wait, you won't get the opportunity to discuss the episodes of the series, miss out on the shit-storms and the anime communities themselves become kinda pointless etc..

I will watch it, but if I got bored along the way, I'll put it on hold until the whole series if finished airing or if I feel like I wanna continue watching it again.

Watch It. Better than having to wait a long time and watch it in one go. Safer as well. If the show becomes crap, I can drop it and not bother downloading the rest. If I waited, I would most likely download a load of episodes, meaning if the above situation were to happen, I had just wasted my time downloading crap. If I like a show enough, I marathon it after it finishes airing (currently Psycho-Pass and Shinsekai Yori only).

Watch it, then I get all the pauses between episodes that I am supposed to get.

Makes it all the more worthwhile when a new episode comes out.

WAIT, can't stand having to wait 7 days for 22 minutes of a show, and with something like Naruto that can be a death sentence (For me at least.) That being said I only watch shows that have been completed, as well as with manga. Kagerou Days being the one (AND ONLY) Exception lol

I've recently noticed I can enjoy anime better this way. But I don't mind watching a few series (such as adaptions) weekly contrary to the ones I'm looking forward to the most.

Weekly watching leaves a much better and more coherent impression of the series so I prefer that for airing series. Though I had exactly the opposite opinion when I started my MAL account.
I probably regret this post by now.

I usually watch airing shows along with whatever else I'm watching

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Wait it. I made an exception this season to get the feeling of following an anime along with other users. But... if it looks too interesting I watch it.

Unless there is something that I drool over, I choose to wait for the anime to finish or at least progress a fair amount before I watch it.

Besides, I still have various anime that I want to watch that are already completed. In case there was a lack of the latter, I'd pick a few more airing anime to watch as they come.

"WAIT IT"

I don't really have the time to watch anime some weeks and the anticipation after waiting a week could be too overwhelming.

I really love to marathon a anime and this works pretty well as most of the anime I plan to watch have finished airing.

When I watch tv series I like watching more than one episode at a time and fansubbers sometimes like to drop shows. So if I wait until the tv series is finished airing I can get all the episodes from a single fansubber and I can watch the 12-13 episode series in 3-4 days instead of 3 months.

It seems that most people Prefer to watch it than to wait..!! :3
I myself prefer to Wait..!!
Just Like Sinnamon said, i also hate waiting.. and sometimes it leaves you in crucial scenario..!! >.<
So I just find another anime to watch..!! Thats b.cuz My Goal was to Finish all Anime until the New Season Anime remains.. Well, I am still far behind though and my pace is kinda Slow..!! (>.<) LOL..!

I Don't Mind the Animation and the Story.. i really dont care bout that, besides All Anime Are Interesting we just have different Likes though and in My Experience Most of the Anime even though it Boring or Crappy at first it will get Interesting if the Anime is Almost Over..!!

I get easily hooked in Most of the Anime now.. So, I Can finish the anime Much faster than the Old one's..!! Just Like when i Watch Campione, and etc.. I Just watch in 1 Straight-Go..!!

But if you ask About the BIG 5 (Naruto, One Piece, etc...) or On-Going 100+ Episodes.. Well, we all know that if you wait about 150+ or 200+ or up.. it will take forever..
So, In My Case i just Collect about 30-60 Episodes then i watch them then wait another Episodes.. if i noticed that the Anime is starting to get into another ARC ill just stop then wait Again..!!
