I have a ton of Japanese media for the sake of language-learning outside of Japan. It started out with frustrations over "free" anime streaming sites not letting me turn the subtitles off, and then paid sites not having the less-than-mainstream shows I want to watch at all. At some point I found out that torrenters also don't like having burning in subtitles that weren't part of the animation in the first place, and that torrents for more obscure stuff was easier to find.

Then I branched out to live-action films and TV dramas from private trackers that expect me to seed back, and I thought, "Screw it, I have the storage space. Let's build up some BP!"

It hasn't gotten so bad that I'm running out of space. Honestly I could fit more. Plus I'm compressing whatever I want to keep since my eyesight wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless I nitpick, and that would take away precious language learning time. However, this has had the effect of making it seem impossible to get through the backlog I've built up for myself.

Yeah, I could just get off Reddit and watch, but I'm considering a gameplan and would appreciate your input so that I get through a good chunk of it without uprooting other aspects of my life and also not burning myself out.
