How many anime do you think you'll watch in your lifetime?

Seeing as how I'm pretty much watching 10+ anime per month right now, I have a feeling that I'll at least reach around 400. My interest will probably die down too, but I feel that I won't ever give it up entirely. I also don't want to waste my time with shows that I think are just "average". So I'd say around 300-500 for me.

This is pure speculation. If you really don't want to give any details because "lol how can I possibly know" then I suggest not commenting. You could be completely wrong, but it's just fun to see what you think now so that you can laugh at what you said 20 years from now

I can't be sure either since my interests shift too often.
I'd say....maybe 300. Hopefully I'm wrong, there's so much out there!

Double or triple of what I have already completed.

Probably about 250-300 assuming I grow tired of it sometime in University. If not then around 500.

Never enough. There will always be something that I wanted to watch that I will never see. I mean, I have a huge plan to watch list, however every season something new is added to it. So I will never see everything I want to see.

Yes I realize that my mal list says twenty on my ptw, however, I store everything else I want to watch in a list on my computer and I just go straight down it.

I'm getting on for 700 completed series and I'm only 21, if I were to stick with this hobby til I die then in theory, if I carry on at the same pace, I'll have completed around 2600 series, assuming I'll live to around 80.

I can only hope I regain my obsession I had the first 1 ½ year. If that happens I will easily get over 1000 in a lifetime...

...But that will probably, sadly, not happen. Such is life.

Haha, funny. I don't think any of us plan to stop any time soon, although as we start growing up, we might not have as much time for anime and manga because of responsibilities and other things, right?

I don't plan on stopping anytime soon and I'm already at 1,130 and have been watching anime for about 7 years. I could see myself easily going over 3,000, maybe even a little higher but that would be when I would be older, probably at least 40.

I'm absolutely sure that I'll at least complete 150 though. Beyond that number is speculation on my part.

A lot of things are starting to seem cliched and unoriginal to me, and I've only completed 60, so I'd say around 200.

Hopefully at least 300-500. Would like to get to 1000+ but i'm so slow. Been watching anime for years and have only completed a little over a hundred.

~700 max.

In the past year i've watched 263 titles.
I have 251 in my PTW.

Assuming I watch those at the same rate, that'll be over 500 this time next year.


In reality though, these days I am much more inclined to manga/LNs and I am going to find a new job soon (hopefully at least). I'll also probably find other more productive things to do with my life in the near-future so who knows.

666, 1337 or 9001. I haven't decided which one is the stupider choice yet.

Honestly, probably somewhere around 500+. It took me nearly 20-some years to get to where I am already.

That took me until the last two words to get. Funny, but I'm aiming to be more of a spacecowboy, over 60 years old with over 5000 anime completed.

At the rate I'm going, if I continue to watch anime for the next 50 years, I'll probably finish around 1000 and drop around 1000, by the time I'm 80.

Depends on how long I keep following airing series(since thats all I watch).

I assume it'll be in 30(or maybe 40)~ years. I try out 25-30 anime per season. I complete around 20~ anime per season. That puts me at 100-120 anime seen and 60-80 anime completed per year. Which is only 20 episodes per week

in 30 years : 4100 seen, 2700 completed.
in 40 years : 5300 seen, 3600 completed.
in 50 years : 6500 seen, 4400 completed.
in 60 years(if i'm still alive) : 7700 seen, 5200 completed. I really doubt the last 2 will hapen though.

Lifetime is a VERY long time so its really hard to actually make a good guess. Probably around 1200...? Maybe? Anime doesn't seem like something I would just stop watching, just start watching less.

I'm at 212 either finished or in-progress and I'll continue watching until absolutely nothing interests me.

Or until I die, whichever comes first.

I figure somewhere around the 500 mark, optimistically.
I'm dead. Don't come looking for me.

10000+ as I watch 20+ animes a month that is around 300 animes a year so in next 40-50 years that I probably have it will be more than 10000.Of course that is if animes continue to be made for next 40-50 years.

i don't know but if i were to continue watching for another 10-20 years then it would be quite a lot. but all good things must come to an end so i doubt i would go on watching for so long.

In my case, definitely nowhere near 1000 anime. I don't even think i'll even reach 500 so possibly a little over 300 or close to 400.
