I'm Curious! How do you watch anime?

On a scale from 1 to 5 with 5 being total attention span devoted to watching anime, rate how much you pay attention to the show you're watching. If you feel the need to categorize based on genre, sub/dub, or anything else please do so. Personally I would say I operate at a 4 or 5 depending on how engaging the show is. Occasionally I'll throw on a dubbed show and use it as background noise, but I've usually watched the show at least once.

When I read the title of this thread, the first thing that crossed my mind was this is going to about legal vs illegal streaming xD

Let me introduce myself! Here comes trouble! *Laughing like a sadist*

Hhhmmmm..... If I am interested with the plot I keenly watch it but when things get bored and repetitive, I watch in x2 like that one time in Diamond no Ace, I was like hhhmmm They swing and then they throw and then in between those there are mental and emotional turmoil and it kinda got repetitive for me then after a couple of episodes, I accidentally stopped watching it.

I thought you meant how often.Well it depends on the Title.The last sub I watched was Dance with Devils so any anime with the words devil or vampire in it I'll watch it.If it has a sword in it like Tenjho Tenge I'll watch it.Mainly it has to be action/horror.No slice of life I can't relate to that stuff.I don't like zombies so I would never watch anything weird.And for magical girls it depends on how pretty the cover looks but,I did not like Puella Magi Madoka Magica.Everytime a girl died I had to take a break from watching but,I did finish and I'm not a fan of fan service.I want more reverse harems.

Betwewn 1 and 2. I also turn down non '80s~early 2000s anime, even when they are actually objectively great. That is because I have a nostalgia towards the time I didn't live. This passed down to fashion, aesthetic and gaming, too. This makes it harder to binge anime...
