  1. I really think if you slow down and watch maybe 2 or 3 episodes at a time, that will do a lot to help you actually finish an anime. If you watch 90% of an anime in one day, no matter how good it is, it won't feel nearly as grand as it really should and you'll never be satisfied. It's my belief that when you take your time and give yourself breaks, you're able to not only experience the story for longer, but you also give yourself a lot more time to fully absorb the events of the story. When you go full "binge" there isn't any time to reflect on past events, it's just a constant uninterupted flow. As a whole, I think we'll be able to recognize more true classics in the future if the anime community as a whole practices this. If we all binge anime at top speed, the magic just kinda fades. Grand stories aren't meant to be experienced in their entirety from 11am to 9pm on a Tuesday in July.

  2. That's awesome man! I'm glad to know you've been able to get so much out of anime for so long! It almost seems like a skill, just being able to appeciate the medium that much. I could definitely stand to learn a bit from you about that lol

  3. I kind of agree. I don’t usually start an anime unless I have time to finish it within a day or two. I don’t agree on the magic fading part. I’ve been seriously(?) watching anime at least since high school. I’m now 55. If it hasn’t faded yet then I don’t think it is going to. (Not that everything I watch is awesome of course, but even after all these years I keep finding anime worth the time.) Same with books for that matter.

  5. I don’t have a problem finishing single couer series or double couer when they’re interesting. But beyond that I tend to burn out after awhile & need to take a break from them. Case in point I left off One Piece somewhere in the Skypeia arc & still need to watch the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter. I watched about 6 episodes of the original Fate/Stay Night over a decade ago but stopped (don’t even remember why). Finally watched Fate Zero last year & had planned to watch the original & UBW thys year, but doubt it will happen since I’m currently trying to finish Inuyasha before the sequel and am only around episode 25 There’s also alot of older series I still want to watch despite starting close to 40 years ago. Things aren’t helped by the fact that I tend to watch 15 - 20 weekly series per season. Should really cut back, but watching anime as it airs is still something fairly new to me. Plus, it’s hard to tell if a series will live up to it’s potential or not.
