>>160151799

Probably something like 25, that's a lot already.

There once was a poll on /a/ in regards to this and the highest percentage was <100 anime. Which would also explain quite a lot.

Also, you're in for 1000

I haven't counted how many anime I watched.
I'm very picky though. I try to go quality over quantity. If I watch the first episode of an anime, and I can tell that it's shit, I won't continue to watch it, even if fuckers say "it gets better", but it never does. I fell for the "it gets better" meme once with Katekyo Hitman Reborn. The entire series is shit, from beginning to end.

>>160152008

I stopped counting once I hit a hundred.

Currently at 600~ shows, started back in 2010 with Haruhi.

The overwhelming majority of posters on /a/ are fairly average people who happen to enjoy some Japanese animation. Were you under the impression that everyone here was a weeb or something?

It should be around 350~400 now. Even if an anime has multiple seasons I only count it as one, so it should be a lot more if I used MAL standards.

>>160154082
You'd be surprised by the amount of people found in YGO! threads who state that apart from DB Super and LWA, there are no good anime this year.

Not to mention whenever there's a thread on rating seasonal anime, most people go for the same kind of inflated ratings MAL uses. And then there's the MAL profiles of /a/nons themselves. They don't really differ from the average anime fan at all.

Quite frankly, /a/ is nowhere near muh underground sekrit club-tier as it would like you to believe.

It's insanely easy to get over 300 completed if you actually watch anime. It takes less than 2 hours a night to watch every show that airs each season and still have time for backlog, which is almost 50 shows. It's been 300 for at least 3 years.

The reason to watch so many shows is to get taste. You will soon realize that the most popular shows aren't very good and there are several hidden gems out there that will make you happy you found them. Another reason is so you don't get spoiled here which is not a fun thing. 1000 is a little much but the usual is 300 to post here. Not just for our sake but for yours.

My hobby after manga and then anime is learning Japanese so I can read manga and not have to use subs eventually. Tell me, normalfag, how do i fit into your world of "doing something productive"?

I have a little over 200 watched, it slowly goes up as I watch a few seasonal shows and one backlog every season.

Which is a lie because I have stuff from 2015 seasons I never finished.

Maybe when you are new, but I still have it to keep track of things I started and haven't finished yet. There are currently 104 shows or OVA which I am in the middle of. I get easily distracted and can't bring myself to finish things I started. The list helps with that. I go in alphabetical order and watch 2 episodes of this "other" backlog every day, in addition to the seasonal viewing and backlog marathoning.

How does it do that? Unless you go to their cancerous forums and instead keep the list to yourself, I see no reason why you would watch something only for the sake of making your numbers greater.

>>160157320
Don't you mix things up when you watch that many at once? And when you can't bring yourself to finish things, doesn't that just mean you're fed up with it? That's how I see it anyways. for example, when I watched juuni kokuki, I started with ~5 a day, but after a while I had to force myself to watch episodes. After I took a break of it for a few weeks I found myself wondering what happened after that and finished it.

>>160157433

I'm a responsible adult kind of normie, so I haven't time for garbage like videogames, social media, or moeshit. My rule is only watching highly praised anime, I know that I'm missing some hidden gems, but if they were really good they would be more praised here.

>>160157715
No, it's usually because I leave out one week and then it spirals. For example, I started Arslan when it aired. Then I stopped at episode 11. Now, two years later, I really enjoyed watching the remaining 20+ episodes.

Watching One Piece would be equivalent to a little over 6% of that alone, if you were to divide all 800 of its episodes in one cour shows.

You'd have to be autistically splitting hairs to watch nothing but 12 episode runs in order to get your number watched high enough. Yes the entire run of One Piece counts as equally as Psycho Pass's eleven episode sequel but it's not about the numbers in the end. A anime aficionado is going to be well passed the three hundred mark to be confident to talk about anime. 300 is really arbitrary. It really comes down to whether or not you know enough about anime and manga to keep up in a discussion.

I'm at 150 days with just over 500 anime, but I've also done almost 500 rewatches because of my relatively large group of friends that I watch anime with either separately or as a group. Tell me, is being good at some random thing by default a better use of my time than being happy with my friends and enjoying the medium I love?

the vast majority has to be tv series, it can't be all OVA/special/movies because you could just watch 300 music videos. usually you've watched a good deal of the classics in each genre by 300 and still have room for seasonal stuff.

I watch anime ever since the early 90's and I only have 200 completed series. Why? Simply because I only watch shit that seems really interesting to me or when I'm really in the mood for anime. Some people will criticize this approach but I think it's great because
>I don't loath the medium and go around saying that everything is trash because I only watch things that fit my preferences or things I'm the mood for
>I don't become salty or burned out because I only watched few shows per year
>I actually enjoy discussing anime here because again, I'm not a self loathing faggot who hates the medium

>>160160680
You're certainly better than those toxic autists, but let's be honest and admit there are people out there who both enjoy anime and watch a lot of it often. They're just not going to stick around a board like this (or any discussion forum for that matter).

>>160160744
I think that you will start to find too many flaws and/or will get tired of something if you do it too much, not matter what it is.
Or It would be more accurate to say that the problem isn't watching too much anime, but making watching anime the only thing in your life. You will get salty with about any hobby if you start to support your entire life around it.

>>160160983
I have heard another view on it, which is that once you embrace genre cliches and various tropes you can allow yourself watch shows that you previously couldn't put up with and actually discover what new things they bring to the table despite their other similarities. Everything that was old and stale suddenly becomes new and fresh, in certain aspects of curse.

Still, I do agree you have to not burn yourself out. What would burn me out could be a cakewalk for another person though, so there's no sense turning it into a competition.

Wrong retard. The majority of the board is made of lurkers who don't contribute to anything, while the minority makes posts and partake in discussions, it's not just on /a/, literally every place on the internet is like that. So newfags who watched less than 100 anime may be the majority, but they aren't the ones who shape the culture of the board, nor they should get any say in about anything.

Elitism is literally the only way to have a decent community and a healthy board culture in the long term

Look at 99% of the posts on the board there's no sense saying they came from someone who has seen a lot of anime. Yes there are the occasional posts which are obviously knowledge backed but those are the exception.

I've finished about 600 anime. I think I've reached about my limit. Every other show I watch is uninspiring or an incomplete/bad adaptation of a manga. If we're including all that I've dropped I'm pretty sure I'm easily over a thousand.

I hope to have 5000 completed anime by the end of the year. I'm at 4910 right now.

>>160159722

> Yes there are the occasional posts which are obviously knowledge backed but those are the exception.
I think that the ''you have to watch at least X anime to post here'' is just a way to filter newfags. It's one of the many mechanism that /a/ developed as a way to keep the board's culture from being infected. I think that quality of posting in general has less to do with the number of anime watched and more to how long the poster lurked/posted here and how well he can use common sense.

I can agree with aspects of this argument. I was once unable and uncomfortable to be attracted to 2D. I hated harems and fanservice because it would conflict me emotionally. Once I accepted that I could be attracted to 2D it opened up the entire subcategory of ecchi to me and I was able to enjoy series that I previously would have hated.

Or do you just spend most of the time you could use watching anime and forming your own opinions lurking to see what people call a 'good show'. The ability to detect quality comes from dipping your toe in several pools, anon.

If we're talking about the canon anime for Galaxy Angel that actually follows the plot of the dating sim, sure.

Really though. /a/ will never agree on a single chart. Don't bother with them. A better way to go about it is to lurk more and see what is being discussed the most and watch those so you can take part in the discussion too. Easier way to find what is popular now.

So drinking before the age of 12 is normal? Lol. I live in Japan. My friends are all Japanese. Pretty much everyone here who's not autistic views all anime like Americans view SpongeBob.
>>160166319
I can enjoy myself in plenty of other ways, there's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself to the fullest though.

>>160166445
Thank you very much.

>>160166463
what's AnJ?

>>160166557
Ashita no Joe. I just googled it to add it to my plan to watch list and the first suggestion was "ashita no Joe death" lol. Dropped

>>160166486
>So drinking before the age of 12 is normal?
If the opposite of degenerate is normal by all means.

>My friends are all Japanese
How is this relevant? Why would you want to live in Japan? Why would you want to be friends with japanese? Spongebob is fucking great.

>>160166557
>>160166601
AnJ is mandatory classic tier. It is referenced in literally hundreds of shows.

>>160166486
>there's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself to the fullest though.
Yes there is. Not all habits are healthy.

>>160155992
>this thread is in fact the first time I have used the term on /a/ and not had a bunch of people bandwagon to REEEE at me for the slightest implication that being a weeaboo is a bad thing.
Then your a fucking newfag because weeaboo is generally a term for fags who watch naruto and go on /r/anime

>>160151799
watched 100
dropped 900

do you guys eat shit out of the toilet bowl too?

>>160166486
>My friends are all Japanese.
If a normalfag by any other name should smell as sweet? That's Shakespeare, normalfag in an outsider culture.

>>160166603
Because unlike bluepilled Americans based Japs are redpilled on anime (kids shows)

>>160155992
>that being a weeaboo is a bad thing.
Weeb was always a bad thing. The problem is the definition got so bastardized by the ironic-weebshit culture that blew up in recent years it lost its original meaning. Weeaboo is someone who renounces where they were from and wishes they were born in Japan and acts obsessive over their culture. Watching 1000 anime doesn't make you a weeb, walking around a supermarket in a fucking kimono does.

>>160166776
>do you guys eat shit out of the toilet bowl too?
No, I prefer a cereal bowl. Easier to get the last bits out.

>>160166806
Why are you even here? Go fuck off to reddit or something.

>>160166806
I think all that drinking affected your brain mass too much. You're spouting incoherent crap and are making broad generalizations all off-topic at that.

>>160166856
Why the fuck are you even here? Like, on this planet? To watch degenerate cartoons?

Well if nobody can blame you if you don't have a whole lot of time. But you can't patronise other people for wanting to define quality on their own accord by sifting through shows instead of sifting through recommendations.

>>160160680
I'm >>160159900 and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Usually mass-consuming anime means you don't hold onto stuff as well. I remember when anime was treated like art and there were entire websites dedicated to dissecting a series.

That's what wapanese was until moot made a filter from wapanese to weeaboo. Now that 4chan culture IS internet culture you have normalfags calling anyone that watches AoT and have 5 watched in their MAL a weeb and faggots with 50 watched in their MAL unironically cally themselves weebs we have come full circle.Those whom don't have anime as a hobby or at least a low level passing interest are called weebs whereas what we would consider weeaboos back in the day are neo-/a/ wanting to escape the throngs of normalfags but not dedicated enough to actually take up anime or manga as a dedicated hobby. It's pathetic really but there is no secret base for us to go to.

>>160166892
Honestly the fact his go-to age was 12 for drinking alcohol raises some concerning questions

I've watched 14 anime in my life. I've read over 700 manga though, so my powerlevel isn't that low

>>160166978
Yes.
>>160167059
It is unless you're mentally ill and relate to all the mentally ill characters in which case you should make like your pic related Dr. Grant and ask the ghost in your room to shoot through your frontal cortex.

>>160157169
It's unproductive because there's already a shitton of manga being translated in your nigger language, and the anime you watch aren't awesome enough that you'd need to rewatch it without any subtitles to understand the dialogue.

>>160167227
Not him but eroge is very important.

>>160167073
No, that was me. It's more of an excuse because you're still a child.

>>160167086
What is your favorite manga? Why don't you watch more anime?

>>160167227
>learning a language is unproductive
You are retarded. Hobbies don't even have to be """productive""".

>>160167227
>your nigger language,
Our nigger language. The one the rest of the world struggles to learn for economic benefit. Our nigger language.
>the anime you watch aren't awesome enough that you'd need to rewatch it without any subtitles to understand the dialogue.
I'm not even there yet but one of my goals is to translate manga because there is a glut of manga I would love to know the end of and if you want the job done right you've got to do it yourself. That said I am years away from being there. That also said I'm willing to give the next few years to getting there. Where will you be in a few years?

Nah, manga typically isn't hard to read. Even with limited vocabulary, you can usually slog through without too much trouble.

>>160167443
You're gonna be one of those losers who abandons the scanlation of a manga halfway after you got into some e-drama with some other scanlation group about who should translate what.

I don't know, I don't keep track of this sort of bullshit. Like anyone gives a shit what chinese cartoons I watch.

I used to keep track. I stopped counting at 1,235, not including one-shot OVAs and movies.

Many were not good. I regret nothing.

>>160167508
I can read doujins just fine because most of it is 「あ」. I'm learning kanji now with whatever new grammar I stumble across. The vocab is the sticking point and I learn from every new kanji I come across. That said I'm still a beginner and have thousands of characters to learn.
>>160167550
You assume too much about my character without an inkling of who I am. Let not your past experiences make absolutes of everyone you meet. You will only live in a coffin made of your limitations.

not him but when i was over 500 i lost the notepad i was keeping track in and moved to taiga. a lot of stuff i have marked plan to watch because i want to rewatch it or not marked as completed at all so i actually have no clue what my completed count is. somewhere around 1k

No matter how much you try to inflate the number of anime shows watched, you still won't get an achievement.

>>160167948
>>>/v/
Fuck off

>>160167948
You don't get 'achievements' this isn't a video game

>>160161664

This is when you start watching old, obscure anime. I stopped watching seasonal things awhile ago. Usually there's only a few really good shows per year for anime lately. Sometimes we get better seasons/years. Better off watching what you missed over the years.

>>160167688
I think with like 2000 kanji you'll be good for the vast majority of things. I'm sure there's some manga out there where the author is a dick and uses weird kanji, but most of it that I've seen is relatively simple. I'm not out of the manga phase yet since I'm still pretty slow on longer sentences, but it won't take you years to be able to read manga comfortably.
