SleepyLeoulf Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm not sure if anyone here has been through this before or it's just me. I have been in a anime block or slump lately and can't seem to shake it off and just watch an anime. I have though when I first joined here but now after a while I got into in this slump phase and can't seem to find something to watch and keep to that anime. Sometimes I can't make up my mind of what I want to watch first but its mainly just watching it and sticking to it. Anyone ever else felt like this before when it comes to anime? Any tips how to get out of it as well? It be much appreciated. Also anyone know of good anime old or new to watch? I don't mind either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beocat Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 That happens to me too. But I usually just flip to video gaming for a while. Seems my interests are cyclic in nature like that. It's not a bad thing really. I just sometimes am not feeling it. It helps when I'm in a slump like that to watch short anime (12 episode max anime) though occasionally a great one will cross my path that is longer and snare me all over again. It helps because the upfront commitment is much less time wise and I usually watch a greater variety in genres this way too (Which tend to pull me back in).

Mars Terra Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) I watch a lot of different genres and don't care much about what demographic a title falls under, as neither of those define my enjoyment of a anime. The most important thing to me is good characters and development of those characters. So my advice to you would be to find what you enjoy most about a show and pick titles based on that factor.

SleepyLeoulf Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 @Beocat Thank-you for the advice and I'll find some anime that's pretty short to start of with. @Mars Terra That makes sense and I've really never thought about like that before.. So yeah I'll look into finding stuff I'm into. Thank you again for the comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalLoliNobu Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have before, and I shook it off by watching something the completely opposite genre. For me, I watch a lot of plot heavy anime, like the Monogatari series or the Tatami Galaxy. I flipped to mecha and it worked well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyePotatoes Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 This happens to me a lot too. In my case, I just do something else. Like doing art, sketching, finishing a whole book or watch something that is not an anime (Preferably Disney Cartoons ). There are also times when I visit MAL and motivate myself to watch anime by reading the plots and see which I would find unique and worth watching It just depends really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi Hyuuga Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I've never had an anime slump, but whenever I'm feeling uncertain of what to watch next or what mood I'm in I'll just try some short anime in various genres, sometimes in a genre I usually don't watch. Some suggestions: The Royal Tutor Your Lie In April Orange Yona of the Dawn Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall Your Name Little Witch Academia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dojikko Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have that kind of feeling from time to time as well. It's not fun when a hobby starts to feel like a chore. I'd say don't fight it and let yourself rest until something sparks your interest again, or just watch something that doesn't require a lot of intellectual/emotional investment, like a slice of life or comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyLeoulf Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 UPDATE: Thank you for everyone's advice and how they deal with it if your in a slump or anime block. I am watching anime again but taking my time with it, and also currently making a list of what to watch next after I finish the one I'm watching now which is. Little Witch Academia on Netflix season 2. Take care everyone~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
