| If you don't really have any other hobbies or friends to hang out with it's quite easy to spend a lot of time on watching anime. |

| Been watching since like 2002, no life'd anime when I was like 11-15. |
| I don't log my anime much any more in the database but I do watch a fair bit. Plus i work full-time, go to the gym every day, busy with church, go out with social groups, etc.... During the week, I set aside enough for two episodes per day. On weekends, depends if I am socialising or not. If not, I will try and get through 12 episodes and an OVA for the weekend, more or less. Sometimes it takes me a while to find something i want to watch, but when I do find it, the world has to stay still because it will be my focus! |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
| I had the same question too. Like Im not super busy but I still cant manage to have enough time left over to watch anime . I just dont know how these people do it. |
| @shirakawa_megumi Yeah I bet he is a Normie. What a loser lol |
| 60 anime in 4 years ? You're definitely a normie |
 |
| I find this strategy to work really well: Never go outside unless it absolutely necessary Ditch your IRL friends and make some REAL online friends so they can't ask to hangout Live with your parents as long as possible Don't get a job |
 |
| I got nothing better to do, sometimes masturbating gets bland (Ik its almost impossible but it happens) sometimes my awesome gamer skills can't keep me excited so I just lock myself up in my room and watch lesbian Lolicons |
 |
| Yeah it's pretty crazy when i see someone who says they started anime a year ago and yet they've already almost watched as much as me, which took about 10 years for me to accumulate lol. It's even worse when they're younger than me and have seen over a year's worth of anime, that's mind blowing to me. A year of their life looking at a screen when they're so young is kind of depressing. I just always tend to feel sorry for people who've seen so much, but i don't know their circumstances so i shouldn't be so judgemental really. I just tend to assume they're a NEET or something. In my case i watched a ton of anime during my school life, but i spent a ton of time hanging out with friends and doing school work too. I think i had a good balance. I have a full time job now and i tend to watch anime episodes in the mornings and when i get back from work. On the weekends any time goes; of course sometimes i'll be reading manga or playing video games instead. I've been watching anime since i was around 10 years old i'd say. |
| i'm a shut in neet, if you check my anime history you'll see that i actually rarely even binge stuff, so i should have it higher than i do. |
on 
| I swear this same question is posted weekly it is not hard to watch one anime with 24 episodes a week or 1-2 anime with 12 episodes a week. I used to do it all the time when I 1st started watching anime and you have plenty of time to also watch the seasonal anime also. There is 52 weeks in a year so then if you watch anime a week you can complete 52 a year and then if you are like me who also keeps up with seasonal anime I watch about 10-15 seasonal anime a season then you have watched 92-112 anime a year after 5 years of watching anime you will have almost 500 watched anime and that is without watching movies, ovas and shorts. |
| Surely this isn't such a hard concept to grasp. People have time to watch a lot of anime because everyone lives different lives. They have different priorities and obligations. They might be better at time management. They might have a job that allows them more free time, or no job at all. You're under an illusion if you think everyone on this site is employed, married, and has kids. If you care about something, you'll make time for it. So obviously someone who's very much into anime will choose to sit at home and watch anime instead of watching a sports game or going out drinking. Idk why this is even being asked. |

| Finding enough time: - having absolutely zero friends - live with your parents - study - don't work - no hobbies Trying to hard: - watch anime 24/7, basically while driving, pooping, eating, walking, fapping, sleeping, studying, ... while missing important parts of the anime, just because "I like it" mixed with self destruction. That's what I imagine the extreme ones doing. |
| The major I choose is Law, which doesn't take much time to study for, and thank god Ik how to mange my time. |
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.  |
| Thread Moved from Casual Discussion With that out of the way, depending on how busy I get with modding/gaming, I'm lucky if I get in around an hour of watching anime/day. Used to be that I could do more, remember binging 12 episode series in a single day. |
    Summertime days, passing gentlySunlight, leading to an encounter; Dreams that don't want to end Continue onwards toward the next day While she waits in the air. |
| Depends on what a person does in a day and how much free time they have. |
  |
| I've been watching anime for like 20 years and during that time I spent the majority of the free time that I don't spend going out and hanging out with friends on anime. According to MALGraph it averages out to maybe 4 hours a day, which still allows for plenty of time to study/work, meet friends, sleep, eat, read books and even watch western TV Series and Movies as well (albeit in smaller quantities than anime). There's a lot of hours in a day/week/year. I think I'm just very efficient, I don't take breaks between episodes when I watch a show and I don't spend much time randomly browsing memes or youtube videos or whatever else distracts people when they're on the computer. MAL forums, and in recent years discord, is really the only thing I do on my computer other than watching stuff. When I spend 4 hours in front of my computer I'm likely to watch 4 hours worth of anime during that time, while I feel others might watch half of that without even realizing where the other two hours went. It's the same with studying too. I know too many people irl whose idea of studying is lounging around the house with their lecture material lying around, doing random stuff and occasionaly looking at their notes but making less progress in a day than I do in an hour or two of focused studying. I assume many people have issues focusing on one thing at a time these days and I think it leads to them feeling that they have less free time than they actually have on paper. I mean it's not like I never get distracted, it's too easy when you have internet, but I always actively try not to and focus on one thing at a time, be it studying or watching anime or doing chores around the house. And it's working out pretty well for me. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Its not that hard, an average one cour season only takes about 4 hours to complete, instead of watching a movie you can watch half a season before bed and you'd finish one anime entry in 2 days. I on the other hand have nothing to do other then socializing and occasionally popping to college to see how everyone is doing. If i want to stay at home and watch anime i just wont do outside, and i avoid college anyways, so i have a bunch of free time. |
| It's easy, I don't really have any other hobbies aside from watching anime. And I gotta agree with Pullman on some parts. I think that compared to many other users who seem to spend a lot of their time on other anime related stuff, I'm actually, you know, watching stuff. |

| A lot of hobby shaming ITT. People spend hours watching youtube videos, watch anime instead of endlessly scrolling. Not that hard. I mean I've watched almost all of the anime on my list since I've made my account, and I don't feel like my time is dominated by anime. |

| Coud say anime is medicin for me right now. I'm sick, can't work, can't meet up with friends, I get tierd to just go and meet a doctor, it more or less fucks up days afterward. And if that was not everything my damn parents got a divorced recently. So much of my time is spent watching anime, thanks to I don't have any strengh at all. Doing things in real life breaks me. And anime gives me a bit of happiness so I'm happy to have it in my life. That's the reason why I have so much "free time" |
 |
| I am in my 30's so I have been watching it for a long time and I still I haven't seen as much as a lot of people I have seen on here, I am almost halfway to 700. I still find time to watch but not as much as when I was like 12 and in my teens. |
         |
| I'm older than most users here on mal, but I've found over the last 20 years that my watching pattern has changed over time. I was busy in my 20's, but in periods when I was out of work (a couple of periods looking for work for up to 6 months) then I consumed a lot more anime. Sometimes when life was busy I wouldn't watch any anime for up to a year. But due to poor health in the last couple of years I've had more free time, so have got back into watching anime again. I'm trying to watch as much as possible as I know that one day soon my life will get busy again, probably kids at some point. So up until then I want to get in as much anime as possible. |
 |
| I don't, or more accurately, I don't really want to, because I don't enjoy anime as much if I watch it too fast, so I basically wait until I feel I've "digested" a previous episode before moving onto the next. Instead I just fill my time putzing around with something else. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| College gave me a lot of free time. Most of the shows on my list I watched during those three years and, at the time, I was watching seasonal shows, plus whatever was on my watch list. Now I'm in university and working a job at the same time, I really don't have time for anime. I can get a series in during a holiday, but not during a semester, there's just too much work to do. Hell, I've straight up don't watch seasonal anime anymore, not even because I don't have time, but just because I end up hating them all. Next time I get a big gap of free time, I'm probably gonna save it to watch Nana. |
| They're called completionists. I stopped watching anime in 2017 but I'm slowly back on the reins. I completed 250 anime in 13 years, that's average 19 series a year. Also, it really depends on the person's taste, you can complete over 500 anime if you only watch series with 12 episodes or less. |

| I run my businesses online from home, so I can always watch it while I'm working. I also watch it while I'm working out to pass the time, and I do long workouts, so I get a lot seen that way. Then, if I have the chance, I'll binge it on the weekends. So, that's pretty much how I watch so much. But, I've also been watching anime since the days of Dragonball and Ronin Warriors. So, I've got a lot of mileage. |
| It's not like anime really takes so much time. If you make time for 2 episodes per day then you'll complete a series every week. I guess if you need to reserve time for sports, musical instruments, ect. then that might be difficult, but most of my hobbies are anime related so I've never found it difficult to find time for. Sometimes I'll even dedicate an entire day just to binging a bunch of anime. |
  |
| it's easy to get through 12 episodes of anime within 1/2 days depending on how much time you have. I have 10 hours free in the afternoons so I can watch about a series a day if I want. (not a boast...its kinda sad how much free time I have lol) Coming closer to exams however I have about 2 hours a day for free time which is still about half a series. It honestly depends how much you are dedicated and how much free time you have. Binging series on the weekend is a way to go for me. |
 |
| I honestly dont know how peeps do it yo. I went through a stage of not doing anything but watching anime, I even didnt work in that time period but Im nowhere close to most here. Now Im still mostly a loner but do work and occasionally hangout out so my watching has dropped plus my interest kinda fell off too. Watching a years worth of anime is crazy thats literally just staying home and watch anime all day and never getting sick of it. |
| Well first off, a certain percentage of anime on my list were completed prior to me joining MAL. Secondly, I literally have no other hobbies besides this and video games. Even when I'm out with friends thats pretty much all we do. |
| You don't. That's why reading manga is a lot better. |
mannygoesawol said: Most of the user's profile I see on MAL have so many completed Anime titles and some even claim to have just started watching Anime maybe just a year ago. I have just been able to complete about 60 or so anime in 4 years and now I am barely able to keep up with seasonal shows. So where do you all get so much time from ? It is not hard to watch seasonal anime. If you spend just 50 minutes a day to watch like 2 episodes. Everyday I watch atleast one seasonal anime episode |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| A good portion of my series came before my time on MAL, and the ones I've added since then are because I have a job where I work from home and can set my own schedule. Due to this, I have a lot of time to finally watch all of the series I've intended to watch, but haven't had the time to do so. |

| Well, one episode a day is like 20 minutes. So 20min in a day is nothing really. |

| With the years you build it up. And looking for gaps to watch an episode or two isn't difficult. If you travel by public transport, you can watch or if you have a break. Even if its just a few minutes it leads to a completed episode and eventually a completed serie. |
