It's really easy to hear about a show, put it on your plan to watch list, and then never watch it. As shows pile up, you begin to struggle on what to actually watch. How do you deal with long plan to watch lists like this?

I....honestly end up never watching them or they sit for ages hahaha. :droplet: At some point I was almost convinced to watch One Piece by a formerly active member here, but just couldn't do it because the show is so. darn. long. Maybe if I skip all the fillers it'd be more bearable but it feels pointless to 'watch' something and skip out on over half the episodes.
I've many series on my to-watch list that aren't so long though, and my actual plan-to-watch list has series that are of a more normal length. In these cases, I just randomly get urges to watch a series from the list. Most of them will probably sit there for a while, like I said above.

I have no plan to watch list, I have a literal anime schedule instead. And plan anime months and months in advance so I don't have a "plan to watch" list, my list is already put before me.
Whatever my list says, I watch. That's just how it is.

Mostly what I do is keep adding to it knowing it will take me literally decades to ever finish my list.

I don't. At this point it's basically a last resort and bookmark list to find series that have at some point piqued my interest as well as a way to find related works to series I've finished. Mine is 849 series long and I kinda just stopped adding to it for my own sanity lol.
i'm a bubble. pop me.
What words would satisfy you?

I just don't stress over anime.
