Not sure.. whatever I'm in the mood for.. ; ^ ^
At least 7-10 hrs.. but usually more.. ^ ^
I don't know what my top five series/movies are.. O_O Too many choices..

I buy them at the best prices I can find. Which lately has been eBay, but once in a while Bestprices.com.

I decide based upon what I've read. I don't listen to the opinions of others too much any more as I've ended up with a few series that I think suck. No titles will be mentioned, I'm not going to start a flame war here.

5. AT Votoms

I'm with you on Gundam ..... all except G Gundam. Didn't like the art. Didn't like the story. Just didn' like it.

>No titles will be mentioned, I'm not going to start a flame war here.

++You know, I don't have any problem with people saying they don't like a particular anime as long as they don't call someone else stupid that does. I especially like it when someone explains why they didn't like it.

Watch it on tv

I basically watch whatevers on and if I like it I'll keep watching it.

Favorite anime's are...

1. Yu Yu Hakusho
2. Gundam Seed
3. Rorouni Kenshin
4. Inuyasha ( See I like this anime but I've only seen about three episodes, it's on too late for me to watch)
5. dbgt ( I don't really like this show, but its the only one that I'm familiar with)

Basically what I just listed is the ones that I watch or have interest in.

I watch about 2 hours a week.


Favorite characters are.....

1. Kurama from yyh ( Both Shuuichi and Yoko forms)
2. Hiei from yyh
3. Cagalli from gundam seed
4. Yusuke from yyh
5. Sniper from yyh

... See this is my problam I'm only very familiar with one anime and that's yyh. The rest of the anime's I don't know that much about. I don't even know all the characters names. I guess I'm strange. I only "really" watch one anime and know a lot about it.

I watch what is on TV, if I like it.
I also like to borrow, and buy as well.

I try to watch what my friends say they like, and based on descriptions of a series/movie.

The amount of time I spend watching anime varies. Probably about 2-4 hours a week.

Favorite Animes
Slayers
El Hazard
Excel Saga
Inu-Yasha
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
R.O.D (OAV)
Magic Knight Rayearth

My thanks to those participating. If I ever get enough replies to make it wourthwhile, I'll crunch the numbers and post the results.

Here goes...

I both buy and borrow anime, and so do my friends. Anime is sort of a swap-meet thing we do at the gaming shop every Friday.

I decide what to watch both through word of mouth (which has very seldom steered me wrong) and fam publication (specifically, Protoculture Addicts, which has never steered me wrong).

I devote usually 4-6 hours a week to watching anime. I set aside a night for the DVD player instead of TV, set up the DVD player, and decide what anime is worth another looksee for that night.

Top 5 anime for me:
5. Colorful
4. Excel Saga
3. Grave of the Fireflies
2. You're Under Arrest
and #1...
1. Serial Experiments: Lain.
Hope this helps.

Hey Dark Lilly, you know, G Gundam's plot does get very intriguing towards the latter half of the series (Although it doesn't make up for the poor 1st half)

Where do you get your Anime?

I use fansubs, buy DVDs and VCDs, sometimes I trade with friends

How do you decide what to watch?

I just use word of mouth and fan websites, or if said anime has big robots in it

How many hours of Anime do you watch in an average week?

About 9 or 10, but right now I haven't gotten anything new, so its dropped down to about 4
