I think I found myself at an impasse. I love watching anime but in the past months I barely get to watch anything because other things keep me from it. That means my backlog is piling up a lot. And even though a reduced my anime list for this season it's still too much. At my current pace I think even watching 5 animes in a season would be too much.

My backlog still contains stuff from last season I will have to drop and I will also have to drop a lot from the current season. It really sucks though be cause there are so many awesome ones that I want to experience but can't :(

For now I had to drop Sakura Quest, Hina Logi, Re Creators, Clockwork Planet and Zero, Hajimete no Gal. It felt awful. That bhrings my current watch list down to 14 but Istill leaves over 70 episodes in my backlog.

Help?

Anime Backlogs are the reason why I watch anime 1 at a time, and not until the seasons are fully released. That way when I do find time, I spam that show until finish. Technically I have an eternal backlog, and it can't ever be conquered. But at least I can just say I have 13 episodes to watch and then move on to the next 13 or so.

Switching from full seasons to ongoing ones was a measure I took to increase my watching speed. It's way easier for me to watch one episode at a time. When I see a long list I get intimidated and watch less or not at all. That's one of the reasons why why a big backlog is keeping me from watching more.

Every weekend I say to myself to just power through it but so far I always got distracted. I just can't watch too many episodes at a time. While watching anime is a lot of fun, gaming always wins out because it's more interactive and occupies more of my senses at a given time. I can't binge watch a full season in a day like I did when I started watching animes anymore. Hell, I can't even sit through a whole anime movie without taking a break.

I feel like my life needs some serious reconstruction.
