| Or you just use it with an "anime I might give a try some day" purpose? Not really wanting to decidedly watch all of them eventually? I myself use it this way. There is stuff I definitely will check some day, but most of it is just a "maybe" (and my guess is that this is the same for users with like really humongous PTW lists, with over 1k or even 2k titles), so it's highly likely that I will actually never watch some of them I've put there. What about you? Do you think using the list this way kind of "kills its spirit" somehow? |
| No, I don't use my PTW list as intended. Titles that I have there have been there for ~3 years. My real PTW is in the back of my head. |
 |
| And that is exactly why you should always put into your PTW only shows that are not yet aired. |
 |
| Yeah, that's why I put them on ptw in the first place. |

| I just put there shows that caught my attention in some way, I might not be interested in them anymore after some time and that's why I check my PTW once every few months and remove shows I don't think I'll watch. |
 |
| My PTW is mostly for anime that I don´t want to forget they exist. |
| :v |
| Of course, that's what it's there for. 29/49 of my PTW has not yet aired (+ more that have only been in theaters/closed premiere). Everything that isn't are things i deem essential in some way. Define what essential means to you and purge everything else. Some things are just hot during a season. Otherwise you can define it by it's impact on a genre, the industry, culturally, for discussion, elitism etc. Don't give into half ass reasons. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Yes. I intend to watch everything on my PTW. Otherwise, I wouldn't have add to my PTW. I went as far ahead as to pretty much plan on the general order of what I'm going to watch from the beginning to the end. (excluding not yet aired ones) I keep track a list separately for any I might want to add to my PTW in the future once I hardly have anything left to watch and I still want to watch them. |

| I will try most of them if not all of them eventualy. but watch them all? hell I'd be surprised if 1 third of them end up as completed. they're all animes I was like" ho this looks cool I'll try it eventualy and put it in my PTW to remember it". |
| Of course. If I don't, then my PTW list is useless since I'm not using its purpose. |
 |
| Yes, I'm intending to check every anime in my PTW list. |
 |
| There are a lot shows i wanna watch that have already aired and are also airing so i dont have time to watch everyone of them but any series that catches my interest i put it in my PTW so that i will be reminded and come back to it someday. |
| yeah, im working on shin sekai yori right now, and cells at work |
| I mainly use it as a reminder for titles i might be interested in but i definitely plan to check them out. Already checked off Bakuman last week. But my PTW isn't a priority. I usually only get to it i don't care for the seasonals or i'm just bored and don't know what to watch |

| My PTW list is more of a "Don't forget this show exists" list. |
     |
| Yes, that is the whole purpose of PTW. It's easy to commit to it during holidays. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| I think it might be realistic to keep about 5 titles there, but eventually it'll be more trouble than its worth. I just keep a mental map and if something slips my mind... well, that's not really a problem. I'll just make another search, which is probably more relevant to my current interests than something I thought would be a good idea years ago. |
| I intended to use it as the way it's supposed to be, but no, now I have it as a "remainder". I have a few titles there which I added back when I first joined and that was before I realized I watch whatever I feel like at the moment. |
 |
| Whenever I see an obscure show I add it there, with every new anime I watch I decide which show from my PTW to watch next, I intend to finish all those shows even if they take years unfortunately the amount in my PTW just keeps increasing. |
| My PTW turned out in some kinda list as "Animes that I will never watch", cuz I never watch animes that I put there... idk I always lose my will to watch them after put there. |

| I intend to watch them eventually, but only if it werent for those damn seasonals |
| Inuyashiki is the Best Mecha ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| yes i plan to watch them all eventually even if it might take years of my life |

| This is the reason I don't use the PTW feature; I have barely enough time to watch seasonals, so I'll probably never have the time to get round watching the old goodies on my PTW if I maintain one. It's taken me 3 months to watch half of Shinsekai Yori, bloody hell |
| Most of the stuff of my PTW list have been there for ages. I've not even actively been adding anything to it, because I've mostly just stuck with watching 1 thing at a time. I'll only decide what to watch next after I'm done. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I mean why not?The PTW list is there for a reason lol.Though I dont adđ too many anime on it,I just think about the present,not the future,I see a cool looking anime cover,I watch^^ |
| I always keep my PTW small so I could actually finish it. Right now most of my PTW is just a list of unaired anime though, with the exception of Gurren & NHK Anyway having a big PTW list feels like you're compensating for something... |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| They are in my PTW because I intend to watch them. What I don't know is when, maybe I don't get to watch everything, maybe I do, the future is uncertain. But as long as they are on the list I'll consider them. |
| Do I intend to watch everything on my PTW list? Sure I do. Do I see me finishing my list any time in the near future? Hellll no. I'm constantly adding stuff to it that interests me and when I choose something random to watch, there could be a chance I could stumble upon something I added forever ago, forgot about, and end up watching it. |
 |
| This is why I never add anything to my PTW, because I know that if I do I will end up adding everything and never end up watching it all. |
| I currently don't watch anime and only read manga. But I do intend to read everything on my ptr list, when I don't know what to read I just close my eyes and stop on a random manga. |
| yeah ofcourse, but we need times to complete it.... and we need time to stop!!! |
 |
| I probably won't watch everything.. well mostly because I literally couldn't... |
| Yes I intend to watch every single anime from my PTW list. I always watch all the upcoming anime that are on my PTW and for the other anime I usually make a poll with 5 randomly selected anime on an anime community and the one that has more votes is the one I watch next 😉 |
 |
| Do I intend to watch everything,yes. Will I watch everything, probably. |
| Most of it. I probably won't get around to EVERYTHING, and some things may not even be available outside of specific events or parks. The rest I do plan on watching someday, though. |
 |
| Since I'm a curious type, I always end up adding a lot of obscure and highly acclaimed ones into my PTW as years went by. And also, I mostly watch anime in a slowish pace (it makes even worse imo). With that being said, I intend to watch all of my PTW, no matter how long it takes. It is one of my life goals--to complete my lists someday. |
| My PTW is bit of an enigma. Nowadays it mostly serves as a list of shows I should like in comparison to other shows I've watched, but for reasons unknown to me, never interest me enough to actually start watching. Granted I have watched some of them off there. It used to be much bigger than it is. |
| ? Yeah, isn't that it's function? Why would you add something if you aren't going to watch it? |
 |
| I try to avoid puttin' anime and shit in my PTW as much as possible and I intend to watch them some day. |
  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo So many anime, So little time! |
| I only put sequels and related anime in there. But I keep a google document for shows I'm interested in watching from 2010 onwards, I guess it's not exactly a 'plan to watch' thing for me. |
 |
| I download complete series and add them to my PTW list, that way I ensure I'll watch them sooner or later |
