The slower you watch things, the longer you can enjoy them. Having no backlog and being forced to wait on seasonal garbage would be the worst kind of hell.

It's been 15+ years since I last started watching Anime in any real sense (maybe watch one "mainstream" popular Anime every other year).

Just browsing /a/ and the last 6-7 years of Anime has been exhausting. I am essentially going the pleb route and just watching highest rating on down.

At least the second season of SC is enjoyable
I really disliked the pre-egypt arc, every episode felt like an hour

so im planing to watch these shows:

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei
Karas
Koe de Oshigoto! The Animation
Nana Toshi Monogatari: Hokkyokukai Sensen
Armitage III
Gunsmith Cats
Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal
Birdy the Mighty
Attack on Titan: Junior High
Shonan Junai Gumi!

after i get trough those, i can finally move on to my backlog.

>>139384914
>Attack on Titan: Junior High
But why?
I would say watch Nana Toshi Monogatari

>>139384782
i dislike the final battle. The whole show was just a slow and tedious build up to a disappointing finale.

The final fight was 100 times better in the old ova.

I haven t watched a single episode of anime for two seasons because im completely burned out.

Fuck you.
>>
My problem with my backlog is that it's mostly 24+ episode series so it's hard for me to just jump into something that I know will take a while to finish.

I just want like a nice 12 episode series I can marathon in a day.

This is totally not a recommendation request in disguise
>>
>>139386181

Can you not just watch a few Anime at a time? I usually shuffle between at least 3. If I finish one I will pick up another one.
>>
>>139386368
I have tried in the past but I usually end up stopping one series at some random episode so I have a hard time going back months later because the continuity in my brain is all fucked up

I'm a retard
>>
>>139386492

Just do one at a time if that is the case. I know what you are saying though. I have yet to watch Steins;Gate (I mean I am 5 episodes in from months ago) and I might just start it over.
>>
>>139386612
Then I just get tired of marathoning one series if it's too long and I always want to start a new one.

I hate anime, I quit

I wanted to enjoy myself watching Hell Girl and from what I can tell from watching first 3 episodes it's unwatchable kind of bad. Now I'm trying to force myself to finish reading a book but vidya is tempting me.

>>139387084
Drop Azumanga Daioh
Drop Red Garden

Watch Nozaki-kun if you want some decent comedy that you can get through pretty quickly
Watch Parasyte
Watch Eden of the East
Watch Usagi Drop

I have pleb taste though so don't listen to anything I say

>>139386368
I usually pick a batch of anime consisting of 2 shows that look meh, 2 that look good and 2 that look great.

Prioritize GITS, Planetes, FMP and Casshern (may seem slow due to melancholic mood), Shiki, SZS, Penguindrum, Jinrui, Gankutsuou, Texhnolyze, Ryvius.
Damn right I don't like light-hearted anime, but I can assure these are good.

I already watched some of the type moon things like:
Fate/zero (10/10)
UBW (2/10)
KNK (dropped after 4)

Looks like i dont like nasu's works (except for Zero) and i dislike visual novels (played some of the fate route).
I just want to see what those old shows are like. I mean, i watched chaos;head, without reading the visual novel, and it was decent.

bretty gud. just started watching anime again so it's pretty easy right now

I have trouble finishing stuff from this season already. I still watch movies and and an episode of Sunred once in a while.
>>
>>139387084
I watched nearly everything on your backlog list and most of the stuff are either good or 5/10.

Have no idea why did you pick Fortune Arterial up since it wasn't popular anywhere and pretty avarege and bland show itself. Felt like water. I would have dropped it.
Also Aku no Hana worked better as manga and rotoscoped shit were done pretty bad in the show.
Also wait for a better quality of Kyomigatari in summer. Right now it is only rips from mobile app.

About CLAMP. Watch Angelic Layer at first and then Chobits. They are having the same universe and even though the content, main characters and genre are different, in Chobits you'll find out fates of some characters from AL.
Rayearth wasn't connected to this two or to any CLAMP universe I can think of.

Go with the most recent shows that are still discussed and hyped there like KonoSuba which has only 10 episodes and easy to marathon or Nozaki kun. Discussing stuff makes the ride more interesting and fun.
>>
>>139388354
>KNK (dropped after 4)
But anon, the 5th movie is the best one and where all the love comes from, it's like Zero to Fate franchise, after the 4th movie shit is going chronological and more easily to follow.

azumanga daioh is THE best anime about high school girls
