does everyone JUST watch while watching anime or do you do other things to get more out of your time? i usually do weights while watching anime and then when i see really buff people in anime (full metal alchemist armstrong) it motivates me to work out more.

Well, if I have to do something but can't miss an anime, I do that thing and watch anime at the same time but, as much as I can, I want to just watch it without doing anything, it makes it more worthwhile that way.

I have a tendency to draw when I'm bored while watching it, but then I have to rewind all the time because I miss what they say in the subs. Missing the subtleties and the generic info subbers put in is a bad thing.

some day when we've watched so much anime that we're able to watch without subtitles we may be able to simply watch anime 24/7

I eat, work out, or do home work while watching anime. I get so much done when i do. I don't think I'll be able to watch anime 24/7 or watch it without subtitles. But, we'll see. Maybe I can learn Japanese.

I live my life completely in multi-task mode.

While doing coursework, I'm talking with friends, listening to music, watching TV and reading.

While in class, I usually talk to someone else, read and think while listening to the teachers lecture.

While watching anime, I usually read, talk with friends and watch TV (watch anime on my computer).

If I do anything else, it's almost always with music and the TV on. Even while getting ready for bed and actually waiting for sleep (I'm a long time insomniac) I usually read, plan for the day ahead, think about various things, play with my cats and listen to music.

I've pissed off plenty of people, my parents included, with my 'talents' at being able to multi-task. I can't simply do 1 thing at one time, it's too hard.

Well for me its pretty hard, having to read subs, and take in the animation while doing something else that requires my eyesight is kinda hard, normally the max ill do is eat. if its an english anime i "might" do something else like homework during, but no normally i'll either sit about 2 feet from the screen, or lie on top or underneath(underneath blankets i mean) my bed 3 feet away from screen(small room, hdtv:D, 16 inch:( )

Yes, I do multi-tasking while watching anime. Reading the subs comes first then underneath the video window, I am converting and burning videos. ^^ Sometimes, I also chat with my friends... but consequence is I don't understand the anime and will just stop watching it and rewatch later. XD

When watching anime, i can't do any other things i would pay all my attention on it as i dun 1 2 miss any interesting part... however i can multitasking

when watching movies and tv drama -- i hv my lunch/dinner -- i do household chores like washing dishes and plates, sweeping the floor... when playing on9 games -- i listen 2 music, chat with frens through msn and even argue with my little brother :P when surfing the nets like AP, online games official websites -- i check my mail, chat with frens, listening music...

overall i just can't stand 2 do other activities when watching my favourite tv programme ^_^

If I really, really like the show and it's my first time watching---I try my best to pay dire attention. If I've seen it a few times and just 'wanna see that really cool part' then I'll talk on the phone or play on my computer.

Oh God, I totally fail at multi-tasking. Like, really. I can't concentrate on homework when there's my laptop in front of me, because I'll end up watching instead of doing my homework.

The only times I "multi-task" are when I'm folding laundry (I'll fold them in the balcony and bring my laptop there) or when I'm eating. Though I guess that isn't really multi-tasking, ahahaha. XD But I do like munching on something while watching TV (or anime) but my mom doesn't like us eating in our rooms.

Multitasking while watching Anime ? only if the anime is really boring :P

I may check websites while watching anime sometimes (dual screen ftw) but then again not very often since I need to read the subs, I'm not that good at Japanese yet.

I multitask a lot but definitely not while watching anime :P

Im fully attentive to my anime when its in japanese & subtitles. Otherwise Id miss out on what they are saying. Otherwise in english, the first time through Im also attentive, then the second run I can just listen to the majority of it when I multi-task. Considering what I do, I do homework, write fanfiction, work on my cosplay costumes, and miscellaneous.
