Post your new years resolutions in this thread, anime or otherwise.

Having just completed my toxx from last new years - I'm going to give myself the same challenge again.

30 anims, at least 15 must air in 2017. No more than 5 shorts. New clause: No more than 5 rewatches. Oh uh only one season of a thing counts

E: this is a :toxx: again

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

the anime toxx was fun, and this year i think i need to ramp up the stakes since i overshot the goal. and will actually be starting on it before june, lol. since i finished 50 shows and 14 shorts...i'll be :toxx:ing for 45 shows this year.

other, arbitrary, gimmick rules in the spirit of namtab-ness:
- At least 22 shows from 2017
- No rewatches!!!
- Only 5 shorts count
- At least 10 shows outside my wheelhouse
- At least 5 shows that are 22+ episodes

failure is a three-week probie! personal resolutions...who cares about those, in the anime forum???

e: i'm dumb

I usually have 'watch anime' down, so instead I'll expand in other areas.

Play through at least 7 VNs, 100 percenting at least 1.

Read at least 1000 manga chapters, with at least 70 of those being yuri manga.

And I'll make it a :toxx:, even if this seems difficult to enforce...

forgot this thread existed so I'll just quote myself here:

VostokProgram posted:

Happy new year everyone!

I would like to commit to a :toxx:

The challenge is to increase my days of anime watched statistic on MAL, up to 42.0 from it's current value 24.0. This is about 3 episodes per day if you assume 24 minutes per episode, but accounts for movies and shorts too.

It's about 1:20 AM PST on January 1st, 2017 right now, so I'd like to give myself until 1 AM PST on January 1st, 2018.




God save my soul

and I'd like a month probe if I fail

I'm gonna follow Vostok's lead and leave things open. my days watched on MAL is 15.5 and I'm shooting for a nice round 25. That's about 42 regular length cours by my math.

Not bothering with a toxx cause gently caress it.

I'm going to try buying some of the anime I like. Some of them are reasonably priced, except Aniplex because they're insane. $120 for the Madoka Magica set? No thanks.

anime resolution: translate at least 365 pages of manga

real life resolution: get my teaching certification or a job that makes that unnecessary

My resolution is to watch less stuff as it's currently airing, and also since in the second half of 2016 I had a great time watching a bunch of really long classic shows (defined as shows with an episode count over 52), to keep up that trend in 2017.

Didn't realize I'd jumped threads somehow...

I do have a resolution though: Write the games, write the book. If you aren't writing the games, be writing the book.

It doesn't mean anything to anybody else though.

Edit: I can get a scrolling version under 100kb by dropping the transparency, but it seems I'm too late for that.
