What do you want us to do about it? Some people average 800 expired cards per day.

Ooops.

Da hast du ja ganz schön was vor dir. Ein wenig Timeboxing, ein wenig gute Musik dazu, und du solltest es in +-1 oder 1 1/2h geschafft haben.

Ouch! On the up side, you must be pretty far advanced and working pretty hard. I'm impressed.

Get it done.

I'm a slacker and almost dropped learning Japanese. 4 weeks without learning and I have 500 cards to review. Then I bought iBunko (the book reader for the iPad) and regained my faith in the Japanese language. I'll do it this time (but I've said it a hundred times before except that I remember most of the kanjis now, maybe I should "stop learning Japanese" more often )

How do people let their reviews get so high? I start to panic after not reviewing for a day. Been doing it for so long now that it feels weird not to.

Yeah, same here. I get this adrenaline in my blood while being on vacation and knowing reviews pile up like 2000/3000 cards..

yep...I'm in the same boat right now.  at 1050 expired/failed kanji.  I look at it as if I'm learning kanji again.  It's really fun and is a nice change from all the reps that i do.  Take this opportunity to strengthen your stories and make them more memorable (funnier, crazier gorier) you get the picture .  Your awesome!

1775 ready to be reviewed in anki.  Finished the book, stopped reviewing a year later, tried to pick it up again here and there but gave up and moved on.

"Moral of the story".... If you don't want to do all the reviews, you don't need to.  Just make sure you start reading stuff instead.  Do what's fun and interesting and forget about the stuff  you don't like.

But if you want/like to continue reviewing, nothing wrong with that.

I'm 600 behind in Kanji and 1300 behind overall. A combination of enjoying my last days in Japan last week and enjoying the break from japanese here in America. Not completely Japanese free but enough where it is finally time to switch my brain to Japanese mode again. Let's see how long this takes to recover from. Wish me luck guys.

Game Plan:
100 Kanji reps
50 Core6000 reps
50 Mined Reps
Rinse and repeat as needed.

Should take about 7-10 repeats depending on how much I fail over the course of 2-4 days. Not counting the amount of reviews that accumulate over the days I haven't yet finished my reviews. I'm lazy and doing math will just delay my reviews. I'm Off!!!
