I watch it the same way! Only I have a Laptop. Sometimes though I will fall asleep because I watch anime sometimes very late at night. Maybe 11 P.M. to 12 A.M. This is the most comfortable time for me to watch anime. Any other times I watch can have interruptions.

I also like to watch anime in a distraction-free environment, alone, and any time I have free time and a working computerXD

Interesting. I prefer watching anime alone, and I usually watch them in the morning when I woke up. Because I`m a neeto so I got nothing to do except for watching anime and blogging everyday. T.T

I rarely watch several episodes in a row now
usually I dl, then watch immediately, or wait a few hours if I’m busy
so just randomly watch episodes throughout the week

a while back in the summer when I was catching up on Bleach and Reborn though I’d watch literally 9-10 hours straight each day

For me, watching anime is very much a couple’s activity. My husband and I will decide what anime to watch next and load up the disks in the netflix queue. We prefer to watch shows that have been completed and then watch several episodes in a sitting depending on how much time we have available. We aren’t picky regarding time of day.

I usually watch anime at night or sometimes early in the morning.I usually watch two episodes and then take a break, then I might come back and watch two more episodes, or maybe just one more.I like to view anime alone the first time I see it.

@ 2DT

I always like when you comment so I’m glad you did =)

I know it would help me get through anime faster if I watched it at times other than nighttime and at places other than home. But I just can’t watch it in public places, at least not when it’s my first time watching something. Too many distractions and I can’t get as engrossed because I have to be more alert and aware in public than in my home. However, that’s just referring to here in the U.S. I wonder if I could find the motivation to watch it in public in Japan.

I don’t mind watching TV when I eat but it has to be something I can casually watch – definitely not an anime episode for the first time because I have to keep looking up and down between my food and the screen and I usually miss something.

I also can’t write blog posts other than the comfort of my home either. So yeah, when I’m not at work, I’m a homebody XD

I could swear I’d commented on this. But I guess I was wrong.

I’ve become kind of a guerrilla watcher, if that makes sense. I’ll watch a little bit over breakfast, quite a bit during the commute, a little bit over dinner if the food’s not messy, occasionally at a cafe if I don’t feel like writing. If I have headphones and a place where people can’t easily peek, it’s go time.

Nowadays, it’s actually harder for me to just sit down and watch at home. That’s prime time I could be using to keep up with the blogosphere, you know? :)

I guess most of us are wired the same way; the need to watch first-view anime without any disturbance. Is it because the show is Japanese and we (non-JP) need the extra brainpower to watch/read/translate/nuance/savor at the same time? But I don’t do that for Euro/Bollywood/JP or SK-shows.

@ Jan

You can put any computer file on a flash drive for easy transportation from one computer to another via a USB port. That’s how I transfer anime from my desktop computer to my laptop.

I usually don’t mind the weekly wait but I agree that marathoning is probably a more effective way to watch anime as far as getting the connectivity and involvement of the story in big chunks instead of “snippets” each week.
