None

5 so far.
>>152037120
Same. Everything seems boring.
>>152037055
None yet, I'm waiting 2 or 3 more weeks for the internet to tell me what might be good instead of sifting through all the shit.
Other than that, Rakugo and Konosuba. Maybe Gintama if I catch up in time.

2 or 3 I forget. Not that important right now.
6 so far
I'm only watching LWA.
Looks like there's only 3 that I should give a chance. Pretty poor offerings this season.
LWA.
I'll probably watch that kyoani one with the gay dragon maid too.
>>152037055
I've added 8 to my RSS feed reader so they get automatically downloaded, but I only expect to properly watch two or three of them.

what the fuck am i doing
>>152037055
There are some shows I know I'm gonna watch like Konosuba and LWA
And there are a lot of shows I watched the first episode of like Ururu and Youjo Senki that I kinda liked.
But I'm at the point where I'm wondering if I should only watch the shows I'm really digging and just forget the 6/10 filler in favor of my backlog. Well, I know what a responsible anime watcher would do but I feel callous for not giving the alright shows at least a fair shot to woo me to the end.
To answer the question there's 5 I'm watching for sure and possibly 12 I'll keep up with.
>>152037055
4 so far: Rakugo, Urara, Nyanko and LWA.
>>152038309
>3.1 so far
ftfy
>>152037055
22 this season, 5 leftovers from fall.
2, dropped everything else
13, waiting for at least 5 more. That's 5 more than my last year average so 2017 looks good so far.
14 currently on trial mode. I'll probably have dropped about half of those after 3 weeks have passed. There are still a handful I haven't even checked out though.
>>152038191
That's what the 3 episode rule is for.
>>152039006
3 episodes of 7-10 series is 21 to 30 episodes. It doesn't scale well when you're trying to evaluate shows in batches, just equates to a lot of wasted time. Also I can think of very few shows where the 3rd episode made a difference in how engaging it was. Madoka is a famous example but Madoka was already a very visually appealing show with an interesting atmosphere before Mami got her head bitten off. No, typically if something is shit it will stay shit by 3 episodes, and if something is only "okay" it will stay "okay" by 3 episodes, and 13 as well.
tl;dr- You're not telling me anything I don't already know, and I've given this matter far more thought than you obviously.
>>152037055
2, which is about average for me.
14
Not sure how many of those will pas the third episode though.
Only one (1!)
One for sure. I'll be waiting a couple of weeks for the obligatory 3-4 episode judging.
>>152037055
It's probably going to be around 15 again.
>tfw everyone picking up just one show is watching___LWA___Amirite?
>>152037055
LWA andFuuka.
>>152040961
Fuuka is okay. LWA had kind of a shitty start. I'm starting to suspect Trigger ought to have left it alone and not tried to cash in on it.
2 so far. 3 if Kobayashi is good.
Is there anyone who still watches 15+ anime a season after say 5+ years of watching anime?
I used to binge like that back when I was getting into anime, but as the years kept coming my ability to keep up with that many shows dwindled to about the point where I'm only watching 2-3 shows on average (last season for unusual with 6) a season.
None.
It's a problem. Used to follow several series at a time, look forward to the days of the week they came out. But it's all gotten too... inbred, I guess. Recent anime just seems to be based on other anime, it's all a copy of a copy of a copy. The characters all act like anime characters, rather than like people. It's formulaic, it's derivative, it's embarrassing. Even the "artistic" stuff is artistic in well-established, predictable ways.
I need something good to watch, dammit. Let me know if anything surprises you this season.

I don't usually pick up anime as I prefer going with and watching whatever piques my interest, but I like Gintama and Konosuba.
Anticipating to watch 13 shows, 17 if you include shorts. Won't be surprised if I end up dropping a few of them.
>>152042203
Last season, yeah. A few of them were shorts though so maybe that doesn't count for as much.
Only Rakugo and Ai Mai Mii.
I'll probably add LWA after I watch the movie.
Only Rakugo. I'll check out Onihei, but everything else seems terrible.
>>152042256
>Let me know if anything surprises you this season.
No.
>>152042203
Yeah sure, low-performance escapism is my life.
>>152042256
It's always been like that anon, you've just seen enough of it to figure out the patterns. Come back in a decade or so and the patterns will have evolved enough to keep you entertained for a while more.
>>152042203
One hour a day. Unless you dislike the current anime trends, watching that much anime shouldn't be hard.
