I find myself only watching shows that are airing at the time. For example, my whole anime viewing list is dedicated to this spring season. There are many, many anime shows that I haven't seen, and I really want to see them, but I never get round to watching them.

There is the idea that currently airing series are easier to access, but that's never really an issue for me. If I wanted to watch, say, NGE right now I could easily get it, but I'd much rather invest time in this season's offerings, say, watch episode 3 of Hack roots though I'm not really *that* interested in it. NGE intrigues me more, actually.

For me, the discussion and anticipation that takes place in forums is a very large part of my anime viewing. For example, I don't think Higurashi would be as enjoyable if I had waited till it was finished, and then began to watch it. New anime are fresh. You are experiencing it for the first time at the same time others are experiencing it for their first time.
