| hey there! i usually do the same thing you do. i tend to just watch one anime and then maaaybe start another one (esp. if my 'main anime' is a long one). i just realized that if i start too many shows i never tend to finish them or i just finish one of them and then find a new one while ignoring the 10 others i'm also "curently watching." Therefore i normally just focus on one anime at a time. This also works because i prefer binge watching over waiting for a new episode weekly so i dont really watch airing shows until all of the episodes are out. but thats just how i like doing things:) |

| I used to watch just a few anime at once because I wanted to fully enjoy an anime without being distracted by other anime, but then I realised that it's just a matter of how you organise your watching order. There are certain relatively slow paced anime that may not require your full attention, I mean that you don't really need to binge watch them, you can watch them at a slower pace. For instance, I watched Gintama, Yu Yu Hakusho and Slam Dunk ( all three with more than 100 episodes) at the same time and I had no problem with that, it was actually easier to watch them because of how I managed to organise my time. |

 |
| One at a time for me. My attention span is pitiful to begin with, if I had multiple series going on at once I would immediately get distracted with new ones and never finish any of them. |
 |
| Usually I prefer to watch one, but I can start a new one with a different genre if I get bored. I can't watch a lot at the same time, I kinda feel guilty for not paying enough attention to the story of the anime I watch. BUT I multiple about 4-5 ongoings and don't feel guilty about it (: |

| I watch 1-2 non airing shows at one point, and then additionally I watch quite a few seasonals during when they air. |

| I try to keep the number of shows I’m watching at once (excluding seasonals) under 3-4, because personally it’s a lot harder to binge shows when you have to keep tabs on a multitude of shows and I say that from experience, because at one point I was watching like 10 shows at the same time and it took me forever to finish them all because I would be watching an episode a day for each show granted this is my personal perspective, there’s probably some god out there watching 20 episodes a day and still managing their personal life properly |
 |
| If you spent some time with anime you’ll start watching more anime at any point, and eventually you’ll reach a point where you are watching 45 anime at the same time, like me. -_- |
 |
| real chad brains can handle as much anime, western shows and video games as possible and be fine |
| if you can handle watching multiple anime shows at once, why not. |
| I watch 40 anime at a time, it' more interesting this way for me |
    |
| I prefer 1 show at a time or at least 1 season. I think engaging in too many stories just ruin the feel |
 |
| I don’t watch multiple anime’s at once bc it can mess up on how I feel about either anime or make me more biased torwards the other. So I rarely watch seasonals week by week unless I really want to see it, but that’s the only time I’ll be watching multiple anime’s at once, if I’m watching a anime the same time I’m watching week by week. But it doesn’t really do any damage since it’s only one episode a week |
 |
| Recently for me I've been watching three anime at a time. I watch one show that's airing weekly that season, then another one that I watch with my friends all together and then another show that I watch by myself that I can go through at my own pace. |
| I've attempted to watch 3-4 anime at once about 2 weeks ago. It was fun, mainly slice of life shows that don't have a plot you have to follow. |
| I can't imagine not watching multiple anime at once at this point but it's mostly because of seasonal anime. But if all the episodes came out the same day for all new anime and it wasn't an episode per week anymore, things would be different. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| Usually I only watch one at a time, combined with some 'regular' Netflix shows. But I've now decided to participate in my first seasonal watch. So I'm watching about 5 at the same time, with one in the middle which I just watch like anything else. I kinda like both and now I understand why people do both. |
 |
| I watch seasonal anime so I tend to watch multiple at once. I mean, it's kind of like TV shows. You don't just watch one show and one show only. And they're easy to keep track of imo. Unless you have a habit of watching things with very similar storylines... |
 |
| It's fun binging 4 animes at the same time but its really tiring |
    ☁ |
| I watch at most 3 non-airing shows at a time so I can have a bit of variety and if a show isn't as easy to binge I can watch an episode in between. |
  |
| I much prefer to stick to 1 or 2 at a time. It makes me enjoy them much more. I think it's easier to immerse yourself if you aren't trying to experience 30 different worlds and stories at once. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| well lol im watching like A LOT of anime at the same time its not hard to follow it when it comes to episodic anime i always watch one ep per a few days and while watching episodic i binge-watch dozens of episodes of those non-episodic animes but then i need a break from em after all those episodes and so i start another and then another and then another ... its a cycle :DD |
 |
| I typically watch 1-2 non-airing shows but I'm starting to watch more seasonals alongside with those non-airing anime |
| I'm currently watching and keeping up with around 20 series every week (seasonals) and I have no trouble following the stories at all. It's like my brain stores every Anime in a separate room and whenever I watch the next episode, I'm able to recall what events occured in the previous ones. I usually don't lose any important information or confuse an Anime's storyline with another's, or whatever. Sometimes I'll binge-watch a series though. Depends on my mood and how much free time I got, honestly. Otherwise, I have the ability to keep up with many different series at once, so why wouldn't I watch 5-6 different series' episodes in a single day or 20+ per week? It feels like you progress slowly, sure, but you end up completing the series whenever they end almost without realizing it, instead of watching them separately once they're done airing. I feel like it becomes part of my daily routine to watch a few episodes of Anime and I don't even realize I spend ~2 hours watching episodes per day, versus binge-watching a 12-episode (or more) Anime in a single day (or 2 days), where almost all your free time goes towards that, you know? Anyway, that's my take on that. |

Tendo_GM said: If you spent some time with anime you’ll start watching more anime at any point, and eventually you’ll reach a point where you are watching 45 anime at the same time, like me. -_- Far too relatable. I much prefer sticking to one anime, but somehow that never seems to happen. I can't stop myself from bouncing around. |
| I limit my active watches to one anime. Maybe two if I'm watching another with a friend. |
| It depends on what kind of anime I'm watching. If it's a seasonal or an anime that needs to be 'serious', I usually only watch 1-2 anime for a day. But if it's a light anime like comedy, slice of life, I can watch a few anime at once. |
 |
| I'm a binge-watcher. That's how I started from day one. Two times I've tried to watch an anime while it was airing, first with Grisaia no Rakuen and second with Rewrite Second Season. It really didn't work out well. Since it's only one episode per week I had to watch other anime in-between and it would just take away from my enjoyment of the shows. There's also the thing about simply forgetting what is happening in the shows, had a hard time rating Rewrite season 2 in particular 'cause I'd forgotten like half of it by the end. I like to focus on one show entirely and I never drop an anime once I start it. I feel like this way I can fully enjoy it without other distractions. I do pick my anime carefully, though. |
| I usually only watch one non airing show at a time along with all the airing shows I'm watching. I don't think it makes sense to watch multiple non airing shows at a time. |

YungSinatra1 said: This what you said, Is really, really relatable to me. I love to pay attention to one and only one anime, do research about it and just not getting distracted by others.. Also I feel like dropping anime, if it's not.. 100+ episodes and more, I just couldn't drop, cause It might just get better. Since I haven't seen many shows yet, I pick my anime carefully too, before I rush and dive into something. I know right. I've said to myself I'll probably never watch something like Naruto and it's 500 episodes. There's no way I won't get bored midway through. The only really long anime I've watched is Yu-gi-oh duel monsters but that's for childhood nostalgia reasons. I'll finish it one day. |
| I flipping hate watching multiple anime at once and I have no idea how people are completely fine with doing that Unless if it's for the reason that you are watching weekly episodes other than that, not a chance |
| Anime is overrated |
| I always used to solely focus at one anime at a time, recently I started watching around 3 or 4 and really didn't enjoyed that style one bit. Now I've to finish them in order and never repeat that mistake ever again lol |
| It's fun binging 4 animes at the same time :D |
| Watching one at a time would exclude all the seasonals. Simulcast junkies would have major withdrawals. |

| In terms of finished series, I watch one at a time. I don't see how people can focus on multiple plots happening simultaneously. 2 to 3 is okay in my mind for other people but I see some people who watch like 13 at a time and I'm bewildered. For ongoing series though, I think you can watch a few at a time because they're ongoing and you kind of have no choice but to wait in-between. Unless, you want to wait till the whole series is done to binge. I've done that before. |

| Unless I´m watching it weekly (like I do with one piece and Boruto) I can´t watch multiple animes at once, since I´m a monkey I can only follow one storylibe at a time |

Sqream said: Honestly, i think there's nothing wrong with watching a lot of anime at the same time. Sometimes, you just don't feel like watching an anime today that you've enjoyed so much just the evening before. I usually go through my watching list and pick something that fits my mood at that moment. I always have one comedy, one shounen and a romcom in my watching list to keep the variety. I rarely binge anime. Also, I think you should just start an anime if it interests even if it really long, you don't really have to commit to the whole thing, I feel like what you're enjoying at the moment is the most important thing when it comes to entertainment. Like nobody's gonna give you shit for watching naruto over like, say, a few years. Well different people have different preferences. I know that a lot of people if not most watch seasonal anime while they're airing. It's just that for me that doesn't work. If I split my attention between multiple shows I feel like I'll end up enjoying each less than if I watched them separately. Also if the show is reeeeally good I can't resist watching more and more. |

| Nah I like to keep the amount at a given time low |
 |
| I usually watch 30-40+ seasonals along side one anime that's already concluded |
