[CHALLENGE] Watching 50(+) anime in 2018!

Ever look at your ‘Plan to Watch’ list, and think ‘how in the HELL, am I ever going to get through all of that?’. As I log into MyAnimeList to add yet another entry onto mine, I notice I’m nearing 300. 300 ENTRIES, that I want to watch. Help me.

Whilst I originally planned to do MAL’s own anime watching challenge to help me cut it down, their categories left a lot to be desired, and would lead me in some cases to build it up even more (an anime from 1917 – really?!). So, I’ll set my own challenge. This year, I am challenging myself to watch 50 (+) shows from my PTW! The + indicates that I will inevitably be watching sequels (hello Attack on Titan and Bungou Stray Dogs), so they will send me over my threshold. I will also not be counting seasonal shows towards my final count. Oh yeah, I mean business.

I used spin.moe to randomly select a show from my list. The only time I respun (is that a word? Respan? Spinned again?) was if multiple 50+ episode shows were coming up, or if a sequel appeared. I also included the 2 shows I am currently watching.

So, without further ado…here’s my schedule for the rest of the year! Help me. (Seriously help me if I end up with 48 Slice of Life shows!)

Bold indicates I’m particularly looking forward to watching the show. Italics indicates apprehension. If both – I’m sensing either big disappointment or a big surprise.
