How do you find the time?

How do all of you find the time to watch so much anime?

I am personally a huge fan of anime and all, but I find it impossible to ever watch it between work, school and my personal life; I just watch it when I can find the time for it.
So, I was wondering -- How do you find the time to watch a lot of anime? Is anyone else in a similar situation as me ?

For me, I simply ignore homework for a few hours and bingewatch episodes. But that's during the school term. In summer, I just watch it over every few days. It's funny how much more active I am in watching anime when I'm supposed to be focusing on schoolwork.

Perhaps it is because anime can work as a stress reliever; school work can stress you out, and anime can de-stress you (or at least distract you).
You are probably just trying to get your mind off the stress of a student's life by distracting yourself with other things.

Just a hunch.

Since I finished school and it's summer I am watching anime back to back. But I mostly just sit and read manga. lol

I did this a few years ago when I didn't have a job, but now that I have a job I basically work every day.
I miss sitting around and doing nothing (gaming, anime, etc.) Enjoy it while it lasts!

Now that I mention it, you're probably right. It's probably how I passed most of my exams (just barely.)

I wouldn't feel bad about it, I did it too and probably will again.

Lose a few hours of sleep. Loosing 2 hours of sleep a night, you can get through a normal series in 2 days.

I disregard my life. My friends (that I know personally), my family, the only people I have contact with are my girlfriend, my gecko, and the people I talk to online. Between that time is anime, programming, working on my computer, or whatever else I find to take up my time.

Yeah, I don't really watch that much anime. When I do watch it, it goes as follows.... I go to the gym, come home, have a protein shake and re-hydrate while watching 1 - 2 episodes. Or, I get done with work, feel too tired to go to the gym, get a shower, watch 1-3 episodes while drinking my sorrows away.

Now take anime and replace it with video games, and that's also how I get any play time in.

Hosnetly, I never had time for anime and kept watching it until finally been watching it for years and got now nothing to watch but read light novels/manga and watch ongoing anime.

It's simple.

Just use school time, relax time, and your sleep time.

Best thing to do, watch anime all the day without sleeping, and when u go to school, sleep in class, I didnt even feel we had school, and just return home to watch anime, I did that for few days though, and stopped, you probably know why I stopped, don't even need to explain xD

That probably isn't healthy for your social life.

I did that as well for awhile there in a certain class, that quickly changed for obvious reasons as well. >.<
I also used to walk to school every day just so that I could watch anime on my phone for an hour whilst walking.

Damn NEET, get a job!
I am joking, relax.
No, seriously. Please calm down.

/me looks down in disappointment, lets out a long sigh, and looks back up at you with a "I'm done with your shit" facial expression

Sir, I am going to have to ask you to step outside.

In all seriousness, there is nothing wrong with that as long as you are still going to school. Well, that's my professional opinion on the matter anyway.

I never had any trouble finding the time for it. I usually watch up to 12 episodes (tho usually 4-7) each night. The reason is because I don't even need that much sleep, and I can cope just fine having 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Been like that for 4 years now with no significant changes in health or anything so I don't care, I just roll with it.

It's summer vacation right now, but even during school I usually don't get homework done or I get it done last minute. My friends and I don't hangout that often, like once, maybe twice so I'm usually home. I'm also unemployed so there's that, living the NEET life during summers.

I currently don't have time to watch anime right now, my backlog just keeps piling up more and more. I only really have enough time to read manga nowadays.

I've been busy doing other things recently. Since April I've been able to finish I think six series on and off?
I'm actually a really big fan of anime, and I can actually relate to right now.

I think Lokorfi is right, I'm the same as him I guess. I watch a lot more anime on school days than I do on the holidays.
I kind of skip homework for anime, but I won't be able to do that soon. ;3; So I guess I won't be able to watch as much anime.

During the summer I have a lot of free time so I just watch it when ever I feel like it, but during the school year I can only watch it at night or on the weekends.

I find to watch a few episode of anime or read some manga an hour or so before sleeping to be quite relaxing, so that's when I usually do it. Rarely, if I'm on holiday with a free slack day at home I'll do a marathon.
