    I’ll watch no anime for months, then I’ll find a show I really like and watch 6 episodes a day. Dungeon Meshi was that show recently.

      Same.

      In my case, Gundam: Witch from Mercury was the one that single-handedly brought me back into anime after 4?+ years of not watching.

        Man, WFM was so so good. I absolutely loved the sound design.

        I also really loved how they almost bamboozled us into thinking it was a lighthearted Mecha-School anime, and then BOOM. WAR CRIMES! WE’RE A REAL GUNDAM SERIES!! :::

          There’s proper spoiler tagging.

          Looks like this.

          This is hidden.

          You start it with ::: spoiler and put the content on a new line, then end it with :::.

          To give it a title just write it after the spoiler, on the same line.

            Ah, I see what’s happened - I’m on mobile with Sync, and it doesn’t support that markdown. I had to open this thread in a browser to even see your comment formatted correctly.

      I go weeks at a time without anime, find a show I really like, get 7 eps deep and then find another show I like, then end up watching Gunhed.

      I never go back to the unfinished anime, forget what it was or that I ever watched it, then find it again months later and wonder why the first 7 eps are already watched.

    I’m almost done with the first season of Frieren. Started last year. Awesome show so I’m taking my time with it.

    20 episodes in a single day is a slog, even for a show you like.

    Unless you’re watching a dub, you can’t just listen, you have to be watching the whole time otherwise you miss the sub and have to go back - so you have to be giving your full concentration.

    Personally I find it quite hard to my full concentration for more than a couple of hours - nevermind the 7 hours it would take to pull this off.

      I will often start a show I want to see the action on in dub, but the first picosecond of voice I hear that I don’t like I immediately switch to sub. But most romcom stuff or anything that isn’t a mecha or flashy action anime I just start directly in sub.

      My kids started getting into one piece, an Anime I admittedly never watched, so I watch it with them. I get the hype now, there have been several times we’ve torn through 8+ episodes in one sitting. Skip Intro makes it fly by.

    I rarely watch on my own, I usually invite friends over and we’ll marathon some shows on the projector.

    I prefer watching older anime or read the manga if it’s being adapted. Waiting a month for each episode is painful.

    Attack of titans made me wait a month for each installment though. I remember zooming in and appreciating the detailed art (not the best) to spend more time with each edition.
