Inspired by this post, I’ve decided to try out this:
in several steps…
Weekly vs. Marathoning
- Is it a loli/moe show or a drama/action show? If loli/moe, go to #3; If drama/action, go to #2.
- Is the show heavy on fanservice and yuri? If Yes, go to #4; If No, go to #6.
- Do moe lolis excite you or make you want to vomit? Excite, go to #15; Vomit, go to #18.
- Do you have a tolerance for fanservice and yuri or does it put you in a rage? Tolerance, go to#5; Rage, go to #18.
- Is your tolerance high or low? High, go to #15; Low, go to #7.
- Does this anime have lots of kissing? If Yes, go to #9; If No, go to #8.
- Does the anime have at least the semblance of an interesting plot? If Yes, go to #17; if No, go to #18.
- Does this anime have a long story arc with lots of cliffhangers, or is it more slice-of life/episodic? Long arc, go to #10; Episodic, go to #11.
- Are you Hinano? If Yes, go to #16; if No, go to #8.
- Do you have time to watch a lot of this anime at once? If Yes, go to #16; if No, go to #17.
- Do you really love the characters and situations in this anime, or do you find them kind of meh? Really love, go to #12; Meh, go to #13.
- Would love turn to hate if you had “too much of a good thing?” If Yes, go to #17; if No, go to #16.
- Does this anime put you to sleep? If Yes, go to #14; if No, go to #17.
- Are you an insomniac who needs to get to sleep right away? If Yes, go to #16; if No, go to #18.
- Are you into long fapping sessions or short bursts? Long #16; Short #17
- Marathon this anime RIGHT AWAY!
- Watch an episode a week of this anime!
- Do not watch this anime!
I think all the number paths work out… Anyway, you can see that this list could be expanded vastly with many new paths and sub-paths!


Interesting flowchart. Many people go through similar criteria relevant to their preferences without thinking when making their seasonal anime picks.
In fact, I’ve often thought of making one for myself since I kept hovering between the two, but in the end I just keep coming to the conclusion that no matter what I do, I’ll end up procrastinating, and losing interest. I just can’t do it weekly anymore, unless the anime in question has a mesmerizingly good story. Also, not following a rule can be relieving too, once in a while. It’s a matter of motivation and general attention span.
#9 made me lol. xD
I prefer Marathoning on weekly shows that don’t intrest me as much as others.
someone really needs to draw this :P
ROFLOL.. ^_^ Did Hinano see this? I mostly marathon, since I have no time.
