>>121297I go between phases of doing this and just watching seasonal anime while gaming hard. Right now I'm gaming hard and so I don't watch much of my backlog at all, though I am somewhat keeping up with a lot of seasonals.
https://haiji.kissu.moe/secret/src/1710092108432.pngMy goal right now is to learn JP well enough to where I can watch raws on the TV, and then I'll really start cranking out my backlog. (Or I'll start with my VN backlog first...)

>>121302Try watching some anime without subs. Most video players let you hotkey the subtitles on/off. I'm more or less in your position and watching anime raw while occasionally jumping back 5 seconds with subs on to catch words or sentences that I couldn't piece together has worked really well for me.

This is just my second season watching seasonal anime, but I'm currently watching 14 shows. Having different things to watch every day really helps. Thinking of watching eight to nine shows next season.

As an average over all the time since I started watching anime, it comes out to about 1.5 episodes per day.
I go through stages of watching much more or less though, so it varies a lot - over the past year it has been more like 3 episodes per day.

I used to watch ~250 shows a year, like 20-25 from each season and a backlog show every week or so plus slowly grinding through long series like precure or LotGH alongside that. The last few years I've only watched 100-150, the vast majority of which are seasonals. There are still plenty of classics I haven't gotten around to, but I tend to end up playing games in my spare time instead. It's funny since I do the opposite thing with games and hardly ever touch new releases, but older games tend to retain discussion and cultural relevancy better than all but the most important of old anime do.

>>121348I think it says something about the LNs that become popular enough to get anime adaptions than anything else (not good, usually). I'm more interested in the good LNs that are worth reading in Japanese as learning material after watching the anime like Hyouka or Euphonium, because I agree with what you said about it being pointless in English.
I'm not familiar with the monogatari series but it has an infamous reputation for being hard to translate.

>>121348There's certainly no shortage of trash LNs that anime can use to prop up its isekai addiction, but adaptations of LNs are, more often than not, really poorly done. They're similar to VNs, which also had a period of heavy adaptation, in that the amount of content in them is typically too much to fit into an anime. With VNs the anime had to either get creative with some kind of new arc or commit to enough cours to get through everything. With LNs a huge deciding factor is whether the anime is willing to take things slow and devote a whole cour to one or two volumes or cram in 3-5 where you just hit the highlights. Of course, that only works if the source material is good enough to warrant it.
I heard the new official Monogatari translations are pretty solid. The thing is that most of the awful LN MTLs being shat out are for equally awful isekai/romcom/battle harem trash that no sane person would learn a language to be able to read. The good stuff tends to attract better translators. All of Kamachi's stuff, for example, gets translated by the same guy and so is of consistently good quality. There's also a growing number of official LN translations which, while certainly not good, are at least readable.

There was a time I tried to watch a lot of seasonals, but I found that in a typical season there isn't actually a single show I want to finish. On average I think I add about 4 shows per year to my backlog, though I usually watch older anime anyway. Maybe around 3-5 episodes per month on average, but it varies. I spend more time reading manga. There are shows I started 15+ years ago that I haven't finished but still don't consider dropped.
Does anyone else share my glacial pace of viewing? Seems like in these kinds of discussions everyone watches a lot more.

I get not being that into watching things, but doesn't the drive to watch it come and go?
Do you even like TV that much if you're that slow to watch it?
No.121368
>>121365I like anime, but whether I'm in the mood to watch it is another matter. But yes, it comes and goes. Sometimes I binge a show in a day or two, other times I go years without watching any anime at all. It's the same with video games, or anything really. Maybe I'm just very fickle, and I never sit down to do something I'm not in the mood for if it's for leisure.
I also have specific shows I've been saving for years, that I know I would love, but feel like I need a specific mood for.
