So...How often do you watch....

Postby -MD » Fri Feb 11, 2011 10:31 pm

How often do you watch anime? ._. There really doesn't seem to be any GOOD new shit to watch....but it doesn't have to be new....I mean.....do you watch anime daily, a few eps a week, a few eps a month, every 2 months? Added bonus....What was the last anime you watched and rate it on a 1-10 scale (doesn't have to be a first time watch).

Lately, I watch like an avg of 2 to 3 eps a month.....that is if I'm lucky. I re-watched FMP:TSR last....only 2 eps though...

Rarely. Don't care for the recent stuff in terms of anime, the animation and aproach to them used don't really appeal to me for the most part

I usually catch the latest BEst Wishes episode airing in Japan, and I try my best to attempt to find a new show here and there [I recently got Higurashi], but my time is so limited that I generally watch them in one burst on weekends. But those are few and far in between.

Every 3-4 months I'll go on a binge and watch 1 or 2 short series. Haven't followed things weekly since early 2008 or so. Had so much more free time back in college. :|

I usually watch a ton of stuff new and old during my anime club meetings at the college on Friday nights. About 6 hours worth of stuff. From time to time I'll sit down a binge a series on DVD or other depending on if I own it or it's new. I haven't really followed any show as it was airing for quite a while. I'm more of a marathon kind of guy anyway. I'd rather wait till the show is all out and watch it all in one stint. As for new stuff, haven't seen a series I really liked since DRRR! HOTD was ok.

I used to watch several hours a week.. now I can't remember the last time I watched anything anywhere but in my clip preview window. It's been a good 3+ years since I watched anything new. I even dumped regular TV during the 2007-08 Writers Strike and never went back.

I fill all my time with reading and writing fanfiction, cuz that way my favorite shows will continue forever rather than going off the air.

Sadly I haven't watched anime in a long long long time. I don't even remember the last thing I saw. I haven't even watched the Evangelion Rebuild movies yet. :( I know, I'm pretty pathetic.

But the anime industry at the same time isn't doing so good either. One of the reasons it's not doing so well is because the majority of people who watch anime don't take the effort to buy it. I guess that's what happens when video sharing technology grows so rapidly.

The last things I've watched were the 2 new Eva movies. The last series I watched was Gurenn Laggan (or however you spell it) like, 2-3 years ago, and it was fuckin awesome.

I don't follow stuff regularly, to be honest, although I watch very little stuff (movies, anime, TV) in general. However I do end up seeing a few movies/series every year. So probably a few hours every month, albeit irregularly. I don't have an anime-watching pattern and do not make a point of checking out new things as they come out. But when impulse hits me, and it occasionally does, I'm up for some anime etc.

I haven't watched anything super good in a while. I recently finished Mushishi about a month ago I think? It was brilliant, really good. I find a lot of newer anime's miss a lot of the sentimental and depth that can be in an animation, but Mushishi was just wow. Some epissodes really got you thinking, and I think they did an amazing job making it. Makes me want to read the manga, and I'm not even a manga reader really if at all XD

Usually I only have time to watch a series maybe once every 2-3 months (maybe maybe)

Per week? Maybe 2½ hours. And that's during a high pitch season, like this one is (currently following 7 series, with a sporadic 8th*). On an off season? Maybe an hour per week, for weekly shows.

*Freezing, Index II, Infinite Stratos, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka, Dragon Crisis, Fractale, Bleach, with the sporadic one being The World God Only Knows

As funny as it sounds, even that 2½ hours makes me feel torn in so many directions it's uncomfortable and with everything else going on I end up feeling burnt out. My computer being an artifact** does not help this at all. A good part of that discomfort is the necessity to transcode the stuff to SD or sub-SD XviD so it can actually be watched. Thankfully I have access to setups that can do those conversions in 10-15 minutes, as opposed to 2+ hours, for a 24-minute episode. And then I have a balancing act with Internet browsing, compiling software, converting stuff (AMVs, trailers, or so forth) in preparation for DVD, and so on. Most of which I am stuck with this thing for.

**The specs are listed on my profile. Prior to New Year's 2010 the graphics card and half of the RAM weren't there (and the LCD I got maybe 5? months ago, I think; before that it was a couple of CRTs, but they have individual problems that are either completely impossible to work around or are incredibly annoying).

I will admit that some of that apprehension might be due to finding some shows - that I do have all the episodes of - exceptionally taxing to watch (*cough* Durarara!! *cough*, that took me five months to get through, since this past September), which makes it seem like a chore to even watch other stuff. I tend to avoid this situation well, but sometimes recommendations from others or wanting to know what all the buzz is about gets the better of me; it doesn't always pan out. If I had a better computer setup and a far more comfortable place to sit while watching, it would likely be a much different story.

I don't watch animes too often, maybe once or twice in a month? it depends on other things though (how much I have to study and how much I want to actualy watch something) also, it's hard to watch animes, cuz e.g. if I have to study a lot then I can't watch them at the student hostel, and because I only have the weekends to edit, I would rather edit than watch animes probably. ( or I would reather read manga xD they are quite distracting :') )

I only watch Dragon Ball Kai and Naruto Shippuden. If I see an anime that looks interesting in an AMV, I'll go out and see it (like detroit metal city).

I basically don't. The only series I care about this season is Wandering Son.

All days, though I don't find yet something that excites me enough. Currently with SSLost Canvas and trying to finish Death Note again
