I know I say this every season, but (1) I don't know how you can have enough time to watch all that, barring it being part of your job as a reviewer, and (2) I don't know why you'd want to; over half of it sucks or is mediocre. Sure, you might argue it's still "fun," but as I get older I start calculating how much of my life I've spent watching anime, look at the series I've watched, and I'd like at least half that time back because it wasn't worth spending the limited hours that we get in a maybe-75 year lifespan.

Well, what I usually do is calculate how much of my life isn't spent on anime.
I'm really having fun with all the shows I'm watching, though. But hey, that's not all. Still have Gosick, Beelzebub, Bleach, Cardfight, Fairy Fail, Naruto, Lost Canvas, and One Piece on the top of that, while also making my way through Fist of the North Star (currently at ep 100 first season), Eyeshield21 (episode 120 something), Lovely Complex (ep 10), Persona Trinity Soul (16 or something), and a bunch of re-watches + OVAs ONAs. I think that's about it. Oh, yeah, bloody Madoka still hasn't finished airing, has it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vte4HUoRDSI

18 shows? Pffft, amateur. I am currently watching 24 of the new spring shows and as soon as I finish watching the first eppie of Toriko, that'll be 25. If some nice fansubber ever gets around to doing Showa Monogatari, that'll be 26. Plus, I'm still watching Fairy Tail and Gosick from previous seasons.
... *cries at having no life* Actually, it is not as bad as it seems. Since most eppies are around 22-23 minutes (and two of the new shows Hen Zemi and Azazel-san are actually half that), even 30 shows represents only about 11.5 hours of viewing per week - slightly less than an hour and a half of viewing per day. ... *still cries at having no life* |

that's the funny and sad thing for me thought I have no life and no this isn't a self pity thing I am being dead serious. I do not want to go into personal details of my private life but but I will be honest only 5 of the shows on that list if they are picked up here I would by to own. "not counting naruto or bleach because i have no desire to own a series that has over 300 episodes each." That's just me though I mean you probably do have a life, wife and kids and have the time for other things to keep you happy. I don't this is what keeps me happy and sane for the most part. That's all I am going to say about it no need to get into a long discussion over this I am off to play the umineko novel on ps3 that I just got in the mail. Here is what it looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8TBIxWWpiI |

Meh. 3-6 hours on a hobby everyday doesn't really impose much trouble for someone who doesn't have to deal with a family, pets, or mother in law. So, I can't quite agree with this "too much anime = no life". And working an average of 30 hours weekly, added to average of 60 hours of sleep weekly, and subtracted by 168, leaves me with at least 10 hours everyday.

I don't know how you can follow that many at once. I am only following five (I dropped the other five) and of course I did previews myself for nine of them which that is in itself takes time to write and get my thoughts down on a page. Plus I also have two shows that I am watching for fun (non licensed shows) and one show that I am watching now that I am going to write a review for in the next week or so. |

Well [C] wasn't what I was expecting, instead much better. Think i'm going to have to rewatch it at some other point.
As it stands, i've got 5 new anime from this season that i've watched, another 3 from this season to make a start on, 2 on-going long series, marathoning 2 past season shows as well, catching up slowly with about 7 other shows and another show that I plan to make a start on tomorrow. |

Actually, Ano Hana got a 5/5 from Carl, so it's his top rated for this season so far. Blue Exorcist is tied for the number 2 spot though. |

I'm not planning to follow any shows from this season in streams or downloads, I intend to wait for DVDs or at least until several years have passed with no license for a given show. I actually wish I spent more time watching anime though, as I have a huge backlog: Air Aria Armored Trooper Votoms Azumanga Daioh Battle Athletes Victory (second half) Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 Cardcaptor Sakura (second half) Crest of the Stars Crusher Joe OVAs Fantastic Children Fullmetal Alchemist Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex 2nd GIG Gunslinger Girl Hidamari Sketch Hitohira Iria: Zeiram the Animation Kaleido Star Key the Metal Idol Kurau Phantom Memory Last Exile Legend of the Dog Warriors: The Hakkenden (The Super Dimensional Fortress) Macross Macross Plus Orguss 02 (it's meant to be in this position on the list as it is a related title) Magic User's Club Master Keaton The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (second half of first series) Moomin Mushishi Naruto Noein - To Your Other Self Noir Petite Princess Yucie Planetes Princess Nine Samurai 7 Sketchbook ~full color's~ Stellvia Soul Eater Toradora Touch Yokohama Shopping Log And that's just the shows that I have and actually want to watch, I've left out a bit of stuff that I own but have no interest in seeing any further. I actually have a lot of free time, but I spend most of it dealing with mental health issues or browsing the internet and then feeeling frustrated because I haven't made my way through any of this backlog. Yes I am aware of the irony (and I'm going to go and make some progress on Last Exile now that I've finished this post.) |

Hah, that backlog is nothing.
On MAL my currently watching is @ 21 series (most of these aren't really currently watching...) and my on hold is at 291 series. I think the last series I finished watching completely was Working.. I've seen 1-12 of Seitokai Yakuindomo.. yet to watch 13.. but watched the 14th episode released as an OAD... |

Carl, your rendition of C-Control epi 1 sounds like a frame by frame adaptation of a Terry Gilliam cinematic experiment titled "Brazil" released back in the mid-80's. This flick became 1 of my favs back then. It poked dark fun at the governing and corporate types whose organizations were saddled with ambivalence and inepititude while enforcement of societal mores outside the bureaucratic realm ran amok. I guess we'll see if this anime imitates art or vice versa.
