If you think you there isn't any more anime to watch, then you really need to broaden your horizons or something. My backlog and to-watch list is an endlessly growing monster, and I've probably even watched more animes than the average anime-watcher.

Doesn't your MAL have like 100's of Animes on it. That's definitely more than the average anime-watcher

You have to remember average is probably people who've seen like 20-30 shows. All the people on MAL with 100+ are probably in the top percentile of anime-watchers.

I most definitely never said there aren't any more to watch! It's just a matter of finding the right show to watch at the right time. I have probably 10-15 shows sitting on my external that I haven't watched yet, because they're not the genre I want to watch at the time.

It's sinful to many, but I still haven't seen FMA:B, just because I haven't felt like investing a ton of time into an intense/heavy anime, instead I could watch something dumb/light/silly for 12 episodes and be entertained and not get exhausted watching it.

My anime watching habits are very unusual, I like pretty much every genre, just depends on what I'm in the mood for. My favorites tend to be intense, psychological, dark shows, but I can only watch them every so often, otherwise it gets tiring/depressing, lol.


I'm watching Barakamon next, which I've heard is pretty fun.


edit: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/leyrasc only 90 entries, I'm weak. :D in my defense like 90% of those are since summer of last year.

If someone has only watched 30 shows, then IDK how someone could have trouble finding a new show to watch lol...

Well if you are bored and have time, I don't see why episode length should be a concern. I see it brought up a lot, but I've never really seen the issue. Its not like completing anime has a due date or something. Echo and I have been rewatching Space Bros at a slow pace, for like the past 2 months or something, and are at episode 60. The best thing about going through your backlog is that you can set the pace for yourself. You can marathon the crap out of it, or you can take it slowly.

btw FMAB is good and imo you should watch it

It's not really a concern, my thought process is just "Do i want to invest that much time into it."

It's probably just a difference in how you consume your entertainment! When I read books, watch shows, etc. I like to go on big binges of watching a bunch at a time. Part of why I like watching currently airing shows is they force me to just watch an episode a week, lol. Some shows I don't mind watching at a slower pace (Lucky Star, Aria, k-on etc.), shows that episodes are independent of one another, with minor underlying stories tend to be easier to watch more sporadically. Other shows that have a compelling driving plot (Steins;gate, toradora, etc) I find myself itching for the next episode so I watch one after another, because I want to know what happens :D


Thankfully I have no true "Shortage" of shows I haven't seen, it's just a matter of finding them, is all! That's why I read threads like this, because I learn about shows that people like and it helps me add to my backlog. Different types of people post here so there's different preferences. Gets me out of only watching certain types.

This feels like a silly discussion of semantics spawned from my inability to properly convey my thoughts, my apologies D:

Basically it's like this: I like to binge watch shows, if I binge watch a 1 cour show, I can quickly resume my other activities (Dota, other anime, other games etc). Longer shows just require more free time in which I don't have other things I want to do, or more motivation/self-convincing. If I could get myself to watch shows one or two episodes here or there, it probably wouldn't be a problem, but most shows I really just want to see what happens next. Addictive personality or something, idk.
