How I Time Manage Anime Into My Life
With all that said, my time spent focusing on anime, falls amoung all the other hours in a night I can spare. In every anime season, there are one or two days that have a lot of anime that air that I’m really enjoying (this time it’s Monday), on those days, I make sure to watch them always on the day they air. With all the other anime that I like but don’t love, I simply download anyway and watch those series all at once on the days where I have the most time.
If I somehow manage to find any other time for anime, then its for any older series I’m also watching at the time. I like to marathon thins a lot, but that’s a whole other story and mostly happens when I have a free weekend or decide to skip all my classes for the day…
I also said I had some sort of social life didn’t I? That may have been a lie…

Interesting to get some insight into how you watch anime/your movie schedule. I’m much the same, watching things as I get them. Since I have two busy days a week now, where I’m at college from 11 am until 8 at night, it has cut a little into my ability to keep up with ongoing shows, to the point that I’ve had to put Lagrange on hold and drop Kill Me Baby.
Still, I admit that my schedule isn’t at all strenuous. Being a sociology student who’s just knocking out some core classes, I still have a ridiculous amount of free time on my days off, even if I’m getting more and more of a social life. Hell, I’m only sleeping two or three hours earlier on average, which is still usually around daybreak.
Also, get on Skype so you can have a little more of a social life. *Nods*

Don’t feel bad about dropping Kill Me Baby. I dropped it after episode 2. My busy day is only one day in a week, on Wednesday. Well even if we have a lot of time, there are also those little things that always manage to take so long.
Also, I’m totally on Skype now like a cool kid.

I’m about to graduate. So in between interviewing for jobs and wrapping up those last few credits, I have time to dedicate to my hobby. I even had enough time to join NHRV! Obviously, I’ll start to get crunched when work starts, but that’s still down the road. Just do what’s important and time for stuff you love will always sneak its way in.

I definitely agree! I’ll have to start trying to get a job soon. It’ll be sad when I do, but then I won’t have school for a bit so I guess it’ll even out.

Ha ha. Your post was very entertaining to read
I too have a lot of free time on my hands which means I spent a lot of time with anime. As for school, my career path is currently undecided so I have this semester pretty easy. It’s cool that you’re into filming and movies. As for me, movies and television are not as interesting anymore – ever since anime became a part of my life. You can guess how my social life is lol.

Thank you! Even if I am interested in films, I’m still unsure what I really want to do in my life, much like you I’ll deal with that next semester. And yes, I totally understand what it’s like to have no social life! xD

With every season you watch 15+ anime, damn
I honestly couldn’t keep up with so many, at most, I watch around 10 but that’s already a really rare occasion. Anyhow, thanks for participating my project^^

Thank you for making the project! If there’s more I hope to participate again! Because I have a decent amount of time on my hands, I can afford to watch over 15 anime. Still, it is hard to keep track of!

Your schedule sounds like mine, except that you seem to actually get things accomplished.

Well, I work 40 hours a week for a local gov’t entity (public library) and also have to get in some physical fitness and social “face time” with my parents…which basically leaves my evenings after 9pm free to devote to Anime. I usually watch one rental anime DVD per night, or the equivalent thereof on streaming. I’m sometimes able to get in more on weekends, and sometimes I catch the live screenings hosted by FUNImation and Sentai Filmworks here in Houston, at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema (seeing Anime on the big screen is pretty awesome). If I lived alone I would probably watch significantly more Anime than I currently do.

ya, real life gets in the way all the time >:( you get to see screenings by Funimation and Sentai! How lucky! I only get to see a few anime films that make it to theatres around three times a year.

Hug the hime-sama for not having a social life either and is kind of a night owl.

“I’ve always just been a person who did what I wanted when I felt like it… The idea of getting ahead of work is beyond me.”
Hehe, you and me both, darling. ^ ^ Unfortunately, it’s starting to not work so well for me though. I’m always struggling for more time and wishing I had managed it.
Anyway, I’m impressed even without a strict system of time budgeting, you still manage to cram a lot of fun into each week. You’re a natural!

That’s the first time anyone has ever complimented me on my time managing skills! xD Although I make it sound nice, my work load does pick up around midterm, which is when I hate my life for a few days before things get back to normal!
