Can you survive the challenge /a/?

>>156222267
No

I did. Even did a second pass with 1.5 times the episodes.

Sometimes these days I don't even think I can watch a single cour show in 30 days.

>>156223419
>watching at X 1.0

>>156222267

That's what, 4-5 hours a day? I watched Gurren Lagann in one sitting.

A 30 week challenge would be better honestly

>>156223604
I mean, it's okay to do shit like that once in a blue moon. I watched all of Brotherhood in a weekend. But when you're doing that for such an extended period of time, that becomes a real goddamn problem.

>>156223558
When you consider you can marathon a 12 episode series in roughly 4.5 hours it isn't that much.
Even working full time you could fit 4.5 hours of anime in a day if you really wanted to, just wouldn't have that much time for anything else.

>>156223525
You can only lose something if you intended to gain it in the first place. Anything else is just delusions on the part of others.

Would be trivial if I didn't have a job and social commitments, and the ~10 episodes I watch on weekdays anyway.

Watch 50/100 episodes of anime from a specific year each week.
You should be able to get 50 subbed episodes for 1970 onward.

>>156223745
I recommend trying it. I managed to find a schedule to make it work and kept at it for months. Ultimately I ran out of anime to watch.

>>156223656

Just watch Ouran it's self aware atleast.

I watched 19 eps of Haruhi in one sitting, including all of EE. Would not recommend again desu

>>156222267

Crazy what not wanting to study for exams will make you do

>>156224390
>Surely nobody does this for real
You'd be surprised.
A lot of shows that are slow paced would improve by watching at X 1.5, you usually start with X1.1 then slowly sped up.
Also after a while you'll notice that your reflexes are more keen.

What is the appeal to this?
>Watch a single cour [...] sreies in a day
That's six hours of straight bingewatching, something I've only done once (Prison School). Why would you do this? Making this a "challenge" in the first place defeats the purpose, it makes watching anime a chore/dare rather than something to be enjoyed.

>>156225582
I usually watch about 6 hours of anime, but not all of the same series. It's usually 6 episodes of an anime, then whatever airing series episodes I haven't watched yet, and then some episodes of another series or a manga.

>>156225582
It's less than five hours. If you skip OP and ED it's even less.
Giving up and making excuses before even trying is defeatism.

I've already watches a crapload of series, and could easily cover almost every one of those categories, except for the 70s and 80s shit. I have nothing to prove by doing this.
My viewing habits of seasonal series has ruined me, though. I very rarely have the patience to watch an entire series in one sitting anymore.

>>156222267
Cour?

>>156225780
Come on anon, it's the first result on google.

>>156225756
You seem like you have plenty to prove. Having seen an anime of every category is hardly a demanding task.
Instead of watching a cours a day you can watch an episode of a dozen series each day for two weeks.

>>156225650
Well, you *can* but making it a challenge and effectively forcing yourself to sit through a single cour? Just fucking watch anime, man. If you decide you've had enough for today after two episodes, stop. If you enjoy the anime so much you want to sit out the entire cour, do that. Setting "goals" for yourself isn't something you should do with your hobby, that's the kind of shit you do with work deadlines or exercise or other things you have to force yourself to do.

>>156225877
>Instead of watching a cours a day you can watch an episode of a dozen series each day for two weeks.
I already do that with airing series, but more like 30 series.

>>156225905
30 episodes per week is nothing. Aim for 100.

>>156225896
NEETs are just really desperate to have something to do and some kind of goal to work on, even if it's a pointless goal nobody will care about.

>>156222267

>>156225896
It helps get things done instead of procrastinating.
There is no actual force involved, just willpower not to distract yourself with some other menial task like browsing an image board.

>>156226024
Pff, you fucking casual. I watch 100 episodes of anime a DAY. And I don't even break a sweat. Why don't you lurk a few years before posting on my board.

>>156226024
I have better things to do with my time than watch 6 hours of anime per day.
Doing that shit consistently is just asking to get burned out.

>>156226043
All goals are inherently pointless, all that it matters to you is if you want to work towards it or not. It's not like the rest of the universe would notice if humanity blew themselves and earth up.

>>156226110
Truly there is not greater or more noble test of willpower than to sit in a chair for several hours a day staring at a screen resisting the urge to so much as drag the mouse a few inches and click something else.

You must be very proud of yourself.

>>156226116
There's not enough hours in a day to watch that much.
300 per week is doable, 400 is pushing it, 500 is a theoretical limit.

>>156226139
People like you shouldn't be on this board.

>>156226143
Whoa man, if you give away all your wisdom for free on 4chan nobody will want to buy your philosophy book.

>>156226181
I watch anime on the toilet when I have to.

>>156226104
24 minutes * 13 episodes is about 5 hours it's doable but you would have to spend your entire free time on it. Things that are longer than 13 episodes would have to be done on the weekend.

>>156226214
>>156226104
>>156225549
You can do it.

>>156226241
One trick is to spend non-free time on it as well. Things like eating can be combined with watching anime.

>>156222267
If I had 30 days with nothing to do? Absolutely. It sounds fun. I can't see myself having that kind of time until I retire, though.

This sort of schedule leaves plenty of time to devote 2-4 hours per day on anime, but not 6+ consistently in 30 days.

>>156226413

>>156226211
I've watched shitloads of series (~400 finished), and I've consistently watch 20+ series per season for about 4 years now. There is certainly no shortage of crap I've watched.
However, trying to force yourself to hit absurdly high numbers of episodes watched is just stupid. You're just going to burn out. It's the same for anything.
I also have other hobbies besides anime. I spend time doing that shit too, so I'm not going to spend all of my free time spending 6 hours a day, every day, watching shit just to prove to nobody (because who really cares?) that I'm "better" than them.

>>156224390
Think about it this way. You have a show that has really shit pacing during some of its episodes. Shit that actually bores you because of how often it puts filler in like reused shots that just take up time without anything happening. You can suffer through it, drop it all together or speed up some parts. Personally I just start skipping ahead till theres actual content, but theres at least an argument to be made

>>156226355
I'm marathoning all of 0079 with a friend in two weeks over a day and a half. Last long break I had, I played Persona 5 for 4 days straight. When I have free time, I absolutely love marathoning things, it's really just a matter of not having time.

>>156226457
>You're just going to burn out.
I can assure you I didn't.
>to prove to nobody (because who really cares?)
(You). And you're not watching shit, with only 400 completed anime you have plenty out there to discover. You can always drop things and substitute them if you don't enjoy them. The important thing is keeping the pace.

I don't have time for this anymore.

>>156222267
I can watch 1 cour a day if it's a good anime. But I already watched all good anime I know of.

Haven't seen moetron in a while.

>>156226656
>But I already watched all good anime I know of.
That's because you have to watch an anime to know if it's good.

>>156226656
Unless your total watched anime is in the 4 digits, you need to stop pretending you're not a pleb.

>>156226457
Once you spend multiple years in this hobby you start running out of decent shit to watch as well. I used to be one of those watch everything types when i first got into anime many years ago but after like two years of that i had went through most of the good stuff and the stuff left just became a chore.
For the record, i did have a lot of free time during those years (AKA all day every day) so i was able to watch a lot more than normally expected.
That isnt to say i havent missed some, but for me, 30 episodes of something enjoyable is hard to find every week and I don't want to rush it anymore than I already have.
>>156226616
If the magic isnt lost on you after watching so much, thats great. I honestly mean it. I wish i could go back to watching multiple series a day and still enjoying every second of it. Though if you have been here long enough to decide what people shouldn't be on this board, you should already know this does happen to some people.

I'm fully aware of that, but I was just illustrating that I'm far beyond a casual viewer who maybe watches 1-2 series a season. I don't have some incessant need to watch everything though.
I don't even bother watching shit from before 2007 or so. There aren't enough hours in the day to watch all of that shit, and even then, I don't really like most older series.
>You can always drop things and substitute them if you don't enjoy them
There is plenty of shit I've dropped, although I don't keep count.

Good. Manga is just a bad LN.

>>156227054
Thats excluding watching things that have already aired. Lets put this into perspective as well. If you only watch 5 shows per season, thats around 5 episodes a week. Which means you arent even watching 30 minutes a day of anime. Thats less than two hours per week considering most anime is around 20 minutes an episode. Considering the goal is to have quality discussions, that casual amount of watching wont really allow them to add to the discussion. lets not fool ourselves here, either, 2 hours a week is extremely casual, even people swamped with work have that a day. You can't expect to be part of a hobby community if you don't actively participate in that hobby

Oh shove it up your ass. You know damn well you don't care about that. None of you do. No matter how much you say "lurk 2 years before posting" or "watch 1000 anime before posting" you don't actually want everyone on /a/ to do that. After all if everyone actually DID do that, you'd no longer have your favorite go-to insult to spam at people and make yourself feel superior without actually doing anything. If there truly could be a magically enforced barrier that stopped people from posting unless they met whatever standards you make up, you could no longer constantly insult people for not meeting them.

That's what I dislike about it. About almost all of 4chan frankly. No matter what board or community or whatever pretty much everyone just prefers to copy-paste the exact same dumb insults because actually formulating their own original thoughts and analyzing the thoughts of others is too hard for them.

There are plenty of places for you to do that. Its become a meme, but the go back to ___ meme has some relevance here. To the older anons you guys came in to a non casual environment en masse and complained when we bitched at you. At the very least, if you are casual, don't participate in meta like this and simply stick to what you do watch. Since anime itself isnt your interest, simply the couple shows you are watching each season.

>>156227357
>Y-You guys can't tell anyways
Right, that's why newfags, casuals and crossboarders get called out all the time. Do you know what they do when they're spotted? Let's not pretend you faggots stop and say "Gee, I guess I'll lurk for a while and watch more anime."

This logic is flawed. You have no way to determine the accuracy of such calling outs.

>>156226777

I do. I don't watch anime for years and even if I do, it's just for two or four series at most that I got interested in. Don't you have tastes? You can easily judge the quality of an anime based on the source material and if it's anime-original, they're easily dogshit 99% of the time.

>>156227417
To be fair, calling someone a newfag became a meme after a while. We can't pretend only newfags were called newfags.

Because, lately, anime originals are mostly train wrecks.
And old OVAs were all style and no substance.

>>156227417
No they get "called out" all the time because people like you just use it as a blanket insult for anyone you disagree with for any reason. And you call them a newfag instead of actually addressing what they say because if you did that, there's the possibility they could actually argue back, and you could actually wind up being wrong.

Much easier to just stick to "they're a newfag and I'm not. Nothing they say can prove me wrong because everything a newfag says is wrong, so in my own mind once I've called someone a newfag I can never in any way lose the argument".

To play your own game, no different than someone from tumblr throwing around accusations of being a racist or a sexist.

>>156227416
>At the very least, if you are casual, don't participate in meta like this and simply stick to what you do watch. Since anime itself isnt your interest, simply the couple shows you are watching each season.
I do in fact spend most of my time in threads for series I watch as opposed to shows I don't. You're also very much right in saying I'm more a fan of many particular series than of the medium in general. There are a shitton of us, we aren't going anywhere, and we're not necessarily more ignorant about the particular series that we do watch than you are (depending on the depth of our convictions).

>>156227531
The only way to win when "called out" is either not to respond, or to engage in some sort of more-oldfag-than-thou pissing war. I usually ignore it.

I find anime adaptations of manga and novels to be worse than the source by and large.

In cases like this i have no problem since as you said you know about as much as anyone else watching. Some could argue you don't understand the animation and whatnot however if you don't engage in those discussions theres no issue. The only issue I have right now is that you are in here, not threads about your currently watching anime. As a casual you would simply have no relevance to the challenge itself and shouldn't have joined in on the thread.

You don't really watch an anime adaptation for the plot or detailed developments, it's for simpler but vital things like voices, settings, scenes or battles for immersion. There's a reason why we always tell people to read the source material before watching the anime because that's the correct sequence to do it. The anime and source material goes hand in hand for fully enjoying a series.

I feel like these challenges mostly exist for the purpose of watching anime for the sake of having watched anime (or for casuals to bootstrap themselves into serious mode, maybe). I mean, if you've watched 700 shows, do you really feel a need to increase that to 730 in a month based on a guide?

Some people honestly do. If you came in here to really strap in and get going, talk about what you are planning to watch and all that, then no problem. However i feel like you would be in the minority in that case.

>>156227888
I never stated any such thing, though I should know that doesn't matter to someone like you.

Forgive me for how jumbled this is going to be im on no sleep right now.
Now lets get right into it. Newfag shaming, in my opinion, helps us keep away the idiots and more special snowflake types that really only derail discussion. People who let newfag shaming get to them are the type of people that feed trolls (which there are plenty who use newfag calling as their preferred method of shitposting),as really should be evident considering how this thread went, and push us farther away from a decent board. Think of it like a test, if you get mad at being called a newfag you aren't ready to post on this board.

>>156228072
Well, that's most likely because I was new to imageboards in general and I was 16 at the time(in 2010)

>>156227919
You forgot to call me sweetie. That's how you're supposed to finish off a "I need to pretend to be smart and mature, despite being an idiot in the wrong." post.

>>156227929
I started posting after two weeks and was never called out for it(though at the time I was lurking for like 5 hours a day).
All you need is a rough grasp of board culture, and you should avoid posting about things you know little about. Watching well known and often mentioned shows like K-On, Geass, Gundam, Madoka etc. helps.

>>156228115
I wait all that time for your post and all it boils down to is "We were just pretending to be retarded"?

Whatever, I'll try to work with it. Your explanation still doesn't prove anything I said wrong. In fact you're inadvertently admitting it's all true. You call someone a newfag because you want them to not respond. You can claim it's just a "test" but what it actually means is you don't want any actual discussion to be had, you just want to insult them and not have them insult you back. Making an insult for no other reason than to make an insult means you just say it because it makes you feel good. Like you're better than them in whatever arbitrary way you want to feel.

You didn't disprove absolutely anything I said and actually just admitted to all of it. I shouldn't have bothered thinking one of you might be different.

>>156228293

>Making an insult for no other reason than to make an insult means you just say it because it makes you feel good
Incorrect. Nothing in my post implied or said that.
>You can claim it's just a "test" but what it actually means is you don't want any actual discussion to be had, you just want to insult them and not have them insult you back.
There is no logic to this one, its simply you distrusting me to tell you my true beliefs, which by default means you didnt have any intention to discuss this at all. heres hoping im wrong about that

You yourself have said nothing to go against newfag shaming, you have simply raged at it.
>>156228344
Makes a decent point, I can reply to this and make a discussion since its clear what his issue is and he doesn't assume my intentions like you have.
>>156228344
Its less of actively participating in the shitposting, but allowing it to happen. Trolls will always exist, that will never change. With this however, we have a sort of mutually beneficial agreement, they do what they normally do and we get to see some of the posters who cant control themselves shamed off the board(hopefully). Its in no way a perfect system, but i argue instead of bitching and freaking out, why don't you stop feeding the trolls?

>>156228446
A bigger problem: when will I have time for self loathing?

>>156228293
I would also claim that this teaches newer members how to spot trolls and ignore them, thus decreasing the amount of people derailing the discussion in the future

>>156228293
actually now that i think about it
>you just want to insult them and not have them insult you back
makes no sense. Clearly these people get insulted back since you are doing it right now.

To the contrary I have explained many times how people just say "newfag" and other insults as a cheap substitute for having to make real arguments, and would not say I have "raged" in any way.

>>156228712
Now you're just jumping from buzzword to buzzword. Saying "they're wrong because they're a troll" is no more valid than saying "they're wrong because they're a newfag". There is no magical word to fill in the blank that will suddenly turn it into a logical argument. At some point you have to actually point out what they're wrong about. You're the one who doesn't want discussion. There is no possible discussion that can come from
>You're a _____
What do they say in response to that? "No I'm not". You won't believe them. In fact your logic is basically trying to claim if they do respond, then they've apparently admitted they're a _____.

Hell it just dawned on me. You're the fucking troll in this situation. You've admitted you say things purely for the purpose of getting them to respond and rage or make a show. You claim you don't like people derailing discussions, yet you respond to them with off-topic insults, and then if they respond back somehow they're the one derailing the thread. It all makes sense now.

>>156228966
>people just say "newfag" and other insults as a cheap substitute for having to make real arguments
You are half right. Yes, there are cases where people do that because of what you said. However, I've observed that often, at some point, 'newfag' is indeed all you can hurl at them because attempts at proper argument falls to deaf ears. Argument and discussions is a two way street. Time and time again, I've seen someone who is blatantly ignorant of a subject but act like they know it all and then when get called out, they just double down on it even after pointing them to evidences.

At which point all that's left is call them newfag, less of an insult and more of in exasperation because they're too egoistic to admit they're wrong and you can reason all you like with links, evidence etc and it's all pointless.

Basically, it boils down to the fact that /a/ isn't a hivemind and you're generalizing things, thereby ignoring the other factors and reasoning behing.

>>156228787
Well, it doesn't say it has to be a show with full-length episodes.

>>156228966
>Saying "they're wrong because they're a troll" is no more valid than saying "they're wrong because they're a newfag".
Excuse me? You have no argument then. In this situation we are your trolls. we are your newfag. By your own argument you are incorrect. UNLESS you are simply arent reading what ive typed. Since once again, you say ive said something I havent, claimed things without basis (I don't want discussion) or a completely false basis at least. You aren't attempting to read the other side at all. You are content with your original idea and aren't going to discuss mine. Unlike you however im going to give straightforward reasoning to why i believe that, you simply lie about what i said, just fucking scroll up. I want you to quote me. Where did i ever say that i join in on this? Ive left that as an unknown for a reason. Every response to me is filled with this shit, you aren't talking to me, you are talking to some imaginary friend of yours. Thats what this seems like. Honestly, i was trying to help you understand so you could enjoy the damned board, but i think you are too far gone. Go cool down, then re-read my posts, maybe you will learn something, im done trying to spoonfeed someone who wont read what they respond to

Stop being a shitposter apologist. Calling someone a newfag after exhausting good-faith discussion is one thing, but the shit festival in this thread started with >>156227417, which was nothing of the sort.

The only thing that's been proven in this thread is that calling everyone you don't like a newfag is a good way to shit on people you don't like with impunity. I generally don't respond to the retards who call me newfags because the resulting pissing match shits up the thread 100% of the time.

If you don't respond, you accept that you're an X. If you do respond, you've proven that you're an X. >>156229207 has the right of it.

20KB, 600x342px

"The newfag battle" as I'll refer to it is sort of like a dumb reverse western showdown, where whoever draws first and most shamelessly "wins". So long as you call him a newfag first you can just keep calling him one over and over any number of replies you want, and like someone else pointed out (if i'm to borrow his phrasing) If you don't respond, you accept that you're an X. If you do respond, you've proven that you're an X

It's functionally no different than saying "u mad", but communities like /a/ that like to pretend they're any different or more mature from the rest of the internet and that wrapping it in a different package makes it any different. It also has the emergency backup defense in case someone actually presses you by being able to say "No it's different it's a legitimate criticism because you're going against board culture". And if they try and say otherwise, well they've already lost, since they're a newfag and therefore couldn't possibly know board culture better than you.

>>156229969

>>156230278

I don't need to try to learn "if" I could sit on my ass for 6+ hours and watch anime, of course I could. The question is if I want to.

Usually I try to watch 1-2 cours of backlog a week next to current anime.
I don't like speeding through stuff. I rather focus on one thing and spread it out.
Trying to watch a cour a day over a prolonged time period just feels like hollow consumption to me.

>>156230282
If you have a standard 8 hour work day and nothing else you can do it fairly easily. Sync up the 26-70 day with a weekend or day off.

You're half right though, it is a challenge for neets. Not because they're the only ones with the free time for it, but because they're the only ones with a life so lacking in meaning and sense of time that they'd consider sitting in chair for all those hours straight being even LESS active than usual a worthwhile challenge.

>>156222267
I can't watch more than 5 episodes a day even when I really love the anime. Usually I watch like 0-2 episodes per day. This does not look healthy.

>>156229629
People call you a newfag because you're clearly a stupid newfag. It's not all that complicated, newfag.

>>156231118
the one who says newfag is the newfag, newfag

>>156231085
It's from /a/. If you see it on tumblr or elsewhere it's going to be a repost.

>>156222267
Can I just watch Boku no Pico for 30 days?

>>156231151
BAKA BAKA

>>156231078
How do you even know you don't enjoy it if you haven't tried an action show in 15 years?

>>156224494
Now read the LNs and realize how much stuff was left out.

>>156222267
You could finish this challenge by watching about 6 anime over and over again.

I can't finish series

I dropped 3 shows on episode 10 or so in the last month, and have started 5 more which I'll probably drop in a few weeks.

>>156231194
>unironic use of exclamation points
>from /a/
Yeah, no.
Google search the image and the only results you get are tumblr and MAL reposting it from tumblr.

>>156231303
Because the archives for 2012 are toast.
I have the file timestamped as 1352676568922 which translates to 11/11/2012. The original version in the thread was slightly different.
Do people even care about Pico outside of /a/?

>>156231303
Current /a/ and /a/ from like pre 2007 is a very different place. That chart is old. Super old. I'm pretty sure I saw it floating around here around 2006 or maybe even earlier.

>>156231397
The 2012 archive is fine.
Here's a random thread from 2012.

I've got jobs dude.

>>156231481
Moetron isn't that old.

>>156231535
Newfag spotted. Try posting 'epic' and 'lol' now and you'll get shit on. But back then, that was fine.

>>156231582
Older that the typical poster here. Like this >>156231535 retard here.

>>156231594
>objectively gets proven wrong

Good stuff.

Watch sabagebu.

No, firstly because I work and secondly because fuck watching that much anime in 30 days

>>156231806
8 hours work
8 hours sleep
8 hours anime

that's two cours a day easy

>>156231993
That's only if you watch anime
A lot of people have more than one hobby

>>156231993
That only applies if you work at home

>>156232095
>A lot of people have more than one hobby
And you know how we think of those people.

>>156232453
No, bragging about watching anime and not reading manga/VNs is what a casual would do.

>>156232533
Those are part of the same hobby.

tfw not NEET

>>156232660
Don't lump me with anime-only fags.

>>156226323
Its not his fault that you cant watch multiple series TRULY in parallel. If you watch 100 eps in parallel its just 21min per ep.

>>156224390

Meh, there ain't enough quality anime I haven't seen already that make doing this worthwhile.

How does this happen?
Are lurkers literally braindead? How dumb do you have to be to watch an entire series and never form a thought anything? Do you just stare at the screen and have no comprehension at all?

I have work. I could have done this when I was a neet but it's too late now.

>>156236545
Give it a try, it's 5 hours per day.
Or try a weaker version with one cours every two days or a bunch of OVA episodes each day.

itt: 16 year olds because anyone who is adult would never have time for this shit.

>>156236878
16 year olds have to go to school and stuff.
It's easier for adults.

>>156237019
Yeah but if toy stay up late you can sleep in school or at least risk it
Sleeping during work is too much a risk

>>156222267
I don't even watch anime anymore, it's so dog shit and it's not worth digging through a mountain of shit just for the hope of finding something decent. At least there's still good ongoing manga, or I would have ended it all and left forever long ago.

I'll do it, but y'all have to tell me which ones to watch.

<- backlog

>>156237681
Just pick the first 30.

>>156222267
This is impossible for anyone who isn't a student on break. Meals can be produced ahead of time for binge watching, but not for an entire month. No one gets a month vacation for work, and who would even want one.

Shit doesn't work. Even in high school I think watching that much TV straight would have destroyed my immune system.

>>156237019
Any adult who has less time then a teenager is doing it wrong.

>>156238149
Are you completely out of touch with reality?
Preparing food takes a few minutes. Even the most demanding dishes shouldn't take more than one hour of active work. Unless of course you are a farmer/hunter and include the time to acquire ingredients.

The only thing I watched in a day was Gurren Lagann, and I regret nothing

what the fuck does "cour" mean in this context

I haven't finished a backlogged anime since December

>>156238350
>Even the most demanding dishes shouldn't take more than one hour of active work.
You also have to clean up. That's 2-3 hours total for kitchen time if you're me. Bread needs to be made in the morning, followed by breakfast and something to eat at work. Then there's work from 9-6. Then supper. Then the house needs cleaned or the grass needs cut, or there's some chore to do. That leaves only 2-4 hours of free time on the weekday. I only have time to watch anime on Saturday or Sunday.

>>156238392
I'm no slave. Everything I do is for myself.

>>156238542
Cours

>>156238542
It's a season in the sense of an actual season, not a television season. So 12 episodes normally.

>>156238629
Don't forget carrying water from the well.

>>156238745
I have an electric well. It carries water from itself.

>>156222267
>watching anime

>>156238764
What about firewood?

>>156238795
I dislike smoke. I my house runs on gas.

I mean, okay, maybe I do some things that other people don't. But my more conventional friends don't have any more time then I do. Their homes are dirtier, their meals either more costly or poorer, but they have to deal with other shit. They have about the same amount of free time as I do or less. Either they work 7 days a week, or they married a stupid high maintenance woman. They have to do shit with their kids. So and and so forth.

>>156238909
If you don't want to reduce your work, add anime to it.
If you really have to knead bread for 30 minutes each day, do it while watching an episode.

>>156238542
Cour = 12-13 episodes, one TV season, one three-month airing period (usually Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec).

A 12-episode show has one cour.

A 25-episode show has 2 cours.

The exact number of episodes in a cour varies due to holidays and timing, but is usually 12-13 episodes. Sometimes 11 episodes, sometimes 14.

>>156238770

>>156242983

/a/ is your society and you do us a great favor by watching as much anime as you can.

>>156223558
Single cour a day isn't difficult task, I ever watched 3 cours for a day when I didn't have any mood to move around.

>>156222267
I did some calculations and saw that the ideal pace is 1 anime cour and 35 manga chapters per day for people with full time jobs.
>12 episodes x 20 min (skipping op and ed) = 240 min
>35 chapters x 5 min = 175 min
>240 + 175 = 415 min
>415 min ~ 6 hrs 45 min
>Schedule:
>2 hrs before work (watch)
>30 min lunch break (read)
>2 hrs after work (watch)
>2 hrs 15 min at night (read)
If the cour has 13 episodes, either spend more time or watch at 1.25x speed to stay on schedule.

>>156243751
>skipping op and ed
Do that math again, skipping ops and eds is against the law.

>>156243823
Not skipping the op and ed (although there is no reason to watch it more than once or twice) adds about 48 minutes, so just extend the after work watching session or watch at a higher speed, although watching anything but slice of life at more than 1.5x gets dizzying after a while.

>>156223604
watched all episodes in 2 days... I regret nothing

>>156241110
>Dodango
I have no idea what this word means, even after a quick google search.
