One show at a time or back and forth.

I was wondering do most of you pick one show and then watch the entire thing before you start another show. or do you go back and forth between several shows. Most shows I don't watch them all the way through before watching something else. Unless its really good. Which has been a few shows. Right now I think I'm in the middle of like 5 different series. What do you guys do?

I like watching when they're airing normally, that means in one week I can watch more than 10 different series.

What Kaimax said. I usually don't focus on just a single show.

I usually watch something exclusively until a stopping point, then, I either continue to the next stopping point, switch to a different anime, or just drop the show.

I try to watch them when they are airing, but I usually end up losing interest in shows I would otherwise finish in a day or two of straight watching. At least I keep watching the shows I think are worth it to remember.
Thus I generally spend some of my time on days off watching a series from start to finish, or at least half of it.

I watch multiple anime at once. But you have to learn how to balance them, one anime I might just sit and watch till I finish it or till I get bored and switch to a different one and come back the the first one later. Rinse, repeat, cash the fucking check.

I like watching 1-2 show all at once or at the same time but if viewing shows in a few episodes a week I prefer to watch about 2 to 3 shows preferably more than one episode in a week of each show.

I watch the ones I like when they air, finished series's on the other hand I like to finish in one go, unless I don't like em'. so the short answer would be back and forth between shows.

I watch them as they air so it's many series a week.

I watch shows as they air and older shows as well, I'm watching like 16 shows right now and some I breeze through but some take me forever (I've been trying to get through Lain for like 3 months now).

I watch episodes as they are available. For airing series this usually means an episode a week, and for completed series this mean ALL AT ONCE.

It's rather rare I do anything in between.

I like to just watch one at a time.

Right now I've been on my longest anime dry spell in a while. Last thing I watched that was currently airing was the second season of Kimi ni Todoke. Sad really, because I do want to watch the third season of Natsume Yuujinchou, but just can't bring myself to watch anything right now.

Anyway to get to the point, I prefer to watch one thing at a time. Moreover, I often wait for an anime to finish or be nearly finished before I start. Weekly episodes are such a pain in the ass, and I start to feel disconnected to a series if I'm limited to that time frame regardless of how intriguing the anime is. I guess that is just how bad my attention span is.

I usually watch two series, three episodes of each per day at max, excluding hentai. Yes, I have a quota.

I find it hard to follow the plot if I watch too many at the same time, especially if they are similar series. Only one at the time woul be otherwise good, but if there is a streak of boring episodes I'd be tempted to drop it.

Multiple per week.

Mostly: One Piece, Bleach, Fate/Zero, and 2 others.. that's airing right now. I'm not really interested to watch other complete, or incomplete series right now so... yeah.

a lot of you are saying that you watch shows as they air. I actually don't like doing that. I like to wait until they are completed that way If I want I can watch the whole series in one day with out having to wait for the new episode. Of course the exception to that is extremely long shows like Naruto or Bleach, they have so many episodes and with no end in sight you have no choice but to watch them as they air.

I like to be behind a few episodes for shows still airing. I hate getting that "I can't wait for the next episode!" feeling. Waiting one week is agony sometimes, especially when I wait and the next episode still leaves you hanging. I'm looking at you, Bleach and One Piece. Shame on you.

Pretty much the same as me. I always prefer to wait till the show is completed to watch them, as I can easily finish them in one or two days like that. I don't wanna watch too many shows at once as my brain will be absorbing too many different plots. One anime would be talking about rape (lol, just an example), another, would be showing some shounen fights, then another, would be some sci-fi infodumping. I can handle it, but it's just no fun to mix in so many plots into my brain like that.

Other then that, for shows like Sket Dance where the total amount of episodes are questionable, I'll mostly watch once there are quite a moderate amount of episodes released first.

I only watch one and when I start watching it, I don't stop until the final episode. Lol.

I find a few slice of life series and rotate between. Watching all the last episodes at once is painful as fuck though.
