How do you organise your anime folders?

By alphabetical order?

>>143294020
yes

Weeb Stuff > 2D, 3D, To Sort Later, Unsorted Reaction, 4Chan Headers, etc

2D > anime name (plus a waifu folder) > character name

Stuff from 4chan goes in Pictures/Imageboard
Stuff from elsewhere goes in Pictures/Art, then /booru or /pixiv or wherever

1 anime folder. newfag here

My anime "folder" (which is just my downloads folder which is also my 4chan and everything else folder) is just like the rest of my life: complete and utter chaos.

I dump it all into a single folder and jack off with it on shuffle.

D:\stuff\anime

pretty simple:
anime (completed)
plan to watch
watching

1. External HDD (300 GB):
1/3 of my backlog, some watched shit
2. External HDD (500 GB):
2nd 1/3 of my backlog, most of my anime OST, VNs, Melty Blood, Some manga I like very much
3. 2 internal hard drives (1.5 TB together)
The last third of my backlog, a lot of anime I like rewatching (hale+guu for example), A lot of manga I downloaded in case I go away on trips so I can transfer to my phone/tablet.
Also until some time ago I still read LNs, so I did it on my NDS lite using MoonShell.

>>143294020
By name obviously

>archiving anime
>as if you're ever going to watch that shit again

20tb nas organized by series including all ova, specials, etc. custom app for playback and to keep track of metadata, downloads and my list. it was a two year project

Each Anime gets it's own folder, if it has a movie and OVAs they go in the same folder.
I also have a folder for Openings/Endings, for stand-alone movies and OVAs.
I'm not autistic so I don't separate the stuff I have and haven't watched.

For pictures I have an anime folder, again a series gets it's own folder where fanart and screenshots are gathered. If something gains meme status it goes to the 4chan maymay folder. Reaction images are sometimes saved in the anime folder or in the reaction image folder, a bit chaotic.
There's also an etc folder for anime that don't deserve their own folder and for artwork that looks like anime (like Miku fanart). The ecchi folder is for stuff that's not porn yet and would normally go into the etc folder.

anime > to watch, archive > movies, tv > title (year) > [group] title (release info)

Unwatched and Rewatch folders. There only 3 shows on my rewatch list though

>>143294020
I just have a single anime folder. I think this is already well organized

>>143294020
Isn't one folder enough?

ITT: People get really confused because they mistake folders which you put pictures from /a/ in for folders where you actually store anime

>>143294020
>current season

I just stream on kissanime

If I really like it, or its a nice movie, I'll download load it into my "Anime" folder.
There, each series has a folder with its name. The folder contains all episodes and then a text file stating all information about the DL, (name|year|subgroup|resolution|audio|language) and what not

>>143307180
Oh wait there is a third.

If it's in my folder, then its unwatched. Plain and simple

In the recycling bin, whenever I accidentally download anime.

Otherwise I stream. It's not a good anime if it's not on netflix or hulu.

>keeping gigs upon gigs of material you'll most like never have use for again

unless you rewatch most of your shows in a relatively short time period after finishing them or they are rare torrents/files it's pointless to bind storage space to them.

>>143307282
this is bait

>>143309425
I will keep them forever, even if I will have to pay for more hard drives in the future. HDDs aren't even that extensive so I really don't care.

>watching
>caught up with
>dropped
>backlog
>finished
The reason I keep dropped anime is because I'll usually give stuff a 2nd chance. And when I'm caught up with an anime, I like to then watch an arc at a time rather than watch weekly, with the exception of SoL.

>>143309731

it's not about HDDs being pricey.

it's about being efficient.

Classified by amount of cute girls in the show.

>>143294020

I only keep my absolute favorites and there are very few of those.

It is a mess.
External drive, laptop...

>>143314486
To expand:
External drive:
- Finished anime
- Not yet watched anime
- Downloaded (mix of finshed and unfinished anime)

Laptop:
- Downloads (1) (unwatched anime)
- Videos (unwatched anime I transfered from external drive)
- Downloads (2) (a few more unwatched anime
-Data:
-- Finished anime
--Unwatched anime

I kinda know where I keep most of them, but I don't exactly keep them in one place xD

>>143294020
By breast size.

>>143294020
Under my final copies that I plan to archive until I die I have arbitrary categorizations like by director or studio.

Otherwise I have the typical completed which I split into 2 parts for final and not final versions aka tv releases, watching and backlog.

I just have an Anime folder for what I've finished, and an Unwatched folder which includes everything I haven't seen yet, or am currently watching.
The anime folder is sorted alphabetically, with each series having its own folder. For stuff with multiple seasons, I keep each season's folder inside the series folder, along with and OVAs or movies that there might be.
On a side-note, series folders all have icons that are the logo or whatever of the show.

Manga

I'm the poorest poorfag autist highschool dropout loser on this planet so not only am I unable to watch anime at a decent rate, I only have a shitty old laptop from 2009 with 20GB of storage and a pair of $20 headphones that have been keep working by sheer willpower and rage.

So I can only watch one cour of a 480p series at a time, which of course with my ADHD, ADD, and OCD, makes finishing a series nearly impossible.

Why would you stockpile worthless data that you can get again in a few clicks unless you live in a third world country and have shitty and/or infrequent access to the internet?

I just watch a series and delete it when I'm done, there's like one or two exceptions for very obscure anime that are remarkable enough to want to watch again and i'll have a hard time finding a working torrent for, like Sexy Commando.

>>143328601
I live in a first world country and my internet was literally gone for an entire month just this year.
If you don't prepare for things that can actually happen then it's your own fault when you're caught with your pants down.

The ISP never found out. They sent me a surf stick after 3 weeks because that's when they realized that the problem might persist for a while. I didn't stick around for much longer so I don't know if they would have fixed it eventually.
I guess I could have acted a bit sooner, but they wouldn't have let me go for just a week of off-time.

Not likely. x265 1080p videos are so fucking small, far smaller than inefficiently encoded 480p stuff even. Besides, storage is cheap. I just upload my shit to MEGA for the time being, Used my 2 main emails and got a free 100GB to store my shit in.
