I know it's a silly topic, but everyone has that certain time of the week that they look forward to, the time that they can kick back and watch their favorite series.

Although I assume that most will say the weekend, I'm still interested in what everyone else will say Cool

Monday Mornings- I don't have school. I usually watch sappy love and drama story Anime at this time.

Friday Aftermidnight- My school is over. I usually watch action, psychological, and other related theme Anime at this time.

Random Around the Week- I do this in case I missed some episodes when I am busy around the times I usually watch anime.

I watch Anime everyday, so there isn't an specific day that I'm looking more foward to. I have a favourite moment of the day though, I always anticipate the nightime very much. Eleven PM seems to be the perfect time for me to watch and read. But sometimes reading Manga that late can make my head hurt a little...

The truth is I don't like people around when I'm looking Anime, so the night gives me the privacy I look for so much.

I watch it mostly on the weekend. When I watch it on weekdays its usually when I am not busy at all, or when I'm super busy studying/doing homework, I obviously don't watch subs during this time, lol.

I can relate. When my parents sees me watching anime, I feel uncomfortable. I usually try to go off subject and change the channel or pause the video. My parents usually ask "What are you watching?", like there is something wrong with it. I blush and talk to them about something else. It feels so embarrassing.

I don't watch every day, but when I do it's usually between 3:30 and 5:30 on a weekday. I get home from work at 3:30, and my wife gets home at 5:30, so I have a two hour window in which I can watch anime without hearing complaints or snide remarks.

Yeah, do that all the time. My parent once told me tht they thought I was looking at porn or something because I paused my Anime all the time they got in the room. I was just watching Kanon...

I watch anime usually everyday, except for friday. I don't watch anime during the day, but I watch it at night everyday before I go to sleep.

Right now it's on a Thursday evening when I get done with school for the week and I don't have to work till Friday afternoon. So that way, I pretty much have the whole night on Thursdays to watch what I feel like watching.

Depends what I'm watching and where I'm watching it. Most of the time, I watch anime on the computer, which is in the basement and has very little activity, so I'll watch it whenever I'm on the computer and feel like doing so. If I watch it on the TV however, it's usually at night or right after I get home from school. In both cases there's usually nobody home or awake that will speak to me in a condescending tone and immaturely mock whatever I'm watching (or in the case of one of my brothers, ask me what I'm watching and what it's about...I hate giving summaries). But some series, like Elfen Lied, I will not watch unless it is nighttime, although I still run the risk of someone waking up. My family thinks anime like Noein are messed up, I can just hear their voices if they saw Elfen Lied.

My case with my parents is they think it is weird me watching something Japanese. They always ask "Can you understand that?" My room is pretty wired so my computer is attach to my tv, and my keyboard and mouse are wireless. So in a notice of my door opening, I pause the video and ask them what they want. Yes, maybe being a closet Anime enthusiast has its disadvantages.

Yeah, it seems as if sometimes you just feel more comfortable doing certain things alone, such as viewing anime. My parents have seen me watching subbed anime before, and gave me a bewildered look. It does get embarrassing at times, but when my parents ask about it, I just tell them I'm a 16 year old guy in high school trying to relax, so give me a break Confused

A) For stuff on TV, Saturday mornings after I tape it or it becomes posted on a website. [adultswim]

B) For internet, whenever the 'rents aren't home. Usually Tuesday.

C) For DVDs, which is most stuff, about 11:00 PM to 1 AM-ish. It's almost a habit that I always watch at that time so I can be totally immersed.

OH yeah. I watch anime while I am laying back on my bed (Damn, I just love my room setup, Computer hooked to my 37" and my surround sound). So relaxing, Monday mornings (really early like 7 am). It feels like you are watching a Soap Opera.

This reminds me I need to invest in a better chair. My back is in pain when I watch too much...
