| I stopped watching anime for a half a year because of Inuyasha.. It was very hard to watch.. I had weird nightmares or dreams for a month. (and Inuyasha isn't even scary, it was just too weird). The same happened when I tried a second attempt on Inuyasha. I still haven't seen it until the end. And i took a small break because of Angel beats.. It was so sad, that I needed some time to let it sink in. |
| Yes. After finishing Chaos;Head and only watching the first 2 episodes of Robotics;Notes, I don't think I've watched anime in a long while. Need to get back to it soon. |
 |
| Somehow Katekyo Hitman Reborn made me take a break from anime for a while and now I watch way less episodes than before. ... But I seriously don't know why. It's not I like I hated it that much and it wasn't some sort of masterpiece so I don't understand why. I guess making fun of it was that much entertaining? Fran was too awesome? I don't get it. Beyond that, I don't really have any more anime that made me do that. |
| Probably every anime I watch unless it's a comedy skit type. I wouldn't say it's a huge break but like a week of just contemplation then I'm back. Otherwise I've never had a month(s) long break from anime unless I can't decide what genre I want to watch. |
| No. But reality has. |

| i tend to do this if i marathon a show or watch loads of episodes in a day, usually i only have time for an episode or two a day if im lucky now with work so anime is just a luxury as and when, but say i have a few days off and watch lots of it, i welcome when im back at work and go back to just watching it sparingly as i appreciate it so much more! |

I did take a long break from the manga during that. Haha, no. Edolas arc was still in the "gray" area. It was the S-Class trial arc that truly fucked things up. I don't think I've read/watched a worst storyline than the one presented in that arc. |

| i've been watching anime for the past 11 or so years (longer if you cound the old school toonami days) and there's been a couple times that i've taken some pretty big breaks just from growing tired of the medium. whether you like to admit it or not a lot of anime generally tends to share the same worn out character archetypes, themes, etc (like most mediums though) and after so much viewing it can get kind of old. my most recent break lasted a couple months, but i read a lot of manga in that time frame so i guess that doesn't really count. the longest was a little over a year. |
| "I’m just watching a bad dream I never wake up from." |
| I did take a break once. It's a long story. I'll shorten it - Started watching animes since I was 4. When I was 6 , Fushigi yugi was on TV, and so I was watching it. I found the plot intriguing. Welll, there was a weird perverted scene in it ( which now I know is a pretty typical scene for all animes )...anyways, it was too much for my young innocent mind to take. Swore to refrain from watching " Animax", the channel where it was airing. Meh.....After few months, continued watching anime again ( except that one ). I recall that was the only time I took a short break from all anime. |

Other than a coll soundtrack it was pretty lackluster. |
| Nope never had to stop, keep the anime train rolling |

Have you worshiped our Empress today? |

| Would say Queen's Blade, but... Two shows a year, and this was six months after I watched HOTD, which I liked. |
 |
| Steins;Gate, I really liked it, caused me to stop watching for 1 month. I watched Infinite Stratos after watching Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Never have I been this disappointed in a main character. The difference between Ichika and Hachiman is just too great I stopped watching for another month. |

| I dont get people who watched this entire Endless 8 thing, I really dont. When you notice after like 3 episodes that the same scenes and same patterns start to emerge, isnt it easy to just STOP WATCHING it then? Like what's the problem? When a new episode was released, wasnt it easy to just start the episode mid-way, see the similarities, and then click away the browser tab and start watching something else? Clearly i must be overlooking something... Otherwise... Yeah... It just sounds so stupid to me lol... Torturing yourself to see the same damn thing 8 times over. |
 |
| The anime Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt just made me take a break from anime and it's probably going to be until late July. There is no anime like it that I haven't watched. I actually loved the dubbed. Usually the dub censors stuff but it was even more vulgar. |
 |
| No. |
 |
| Four words. Brynhildr. In. The. Darkness. I think this might be my most hated anime of the year. |
| No. But the World Cup will. |

| Breaking Bad did. After it finished I had a severe case of post Breaking Bad depression and had to slowly and reluctantly be weaned back into anime. It was very difficult. :( The Pantsu helped a lot though. :) |
| After I watched Clannad I needed an emotional break. |
| P DOPE. |
| Well there certainly has been animes that have been grueling to watch but i don't really remember if stopped watching anime for while after seeing them. Usually i take a break's from videogames, films, reading and anime because i just have bad habit of getting exited about something burning myself by overdoing things. For instance during next month i could potentially get exited about JRPG's and because of that play lot of them and then end up not wanting to play them at all for while. That's usually my reason for taking a break. It doesn't necessarily take a bad anime to put things on hold. |
| nope |
 |
| Not in the way you'd think. My internet went down mid-serious-action scene in FMA:B, it killed my vibe and I didn't watch any eps of any anime for about a week or two. |
| nope |
|
| Hasn't happened to me yet and hopefully it won't, I still have a lot of anime I want to watch and many anime that I will watch that aren't in my plan to watch. |
| Raise it up, raise up the happiness. |
| After watching ga-rei: zero I took a one week break before I start to watch a new series. it's just sad |
 |
| Nope, I just stop randomly. |
 |
| After i watched Gurren Lagann for the first time i stopped for a few weeks, since i didn't think anything else would ever be as awesome (and i was right :P) Same exact thing happened with Steins; Gate haha. As for stopping if an anime is bad...i don't think i ever have, in fact, it drives me to start another anime as quickly as posssible, to get the bad anime out of my head xD |
| Kuroko no Basket made me stop being a shut-in watching anime and get back into sports.............. However after I Realize I suck at such sports I immediately went back into my reclusive lifestyle |
| No, an anime hasn't made me sick of watching anime. Just watching anime made me sick of watching anime, so I took a loooong break from it. |
   |
| Anohana gave me so many feels that I took a short break lol. |
 |

| Clannad: After Story, AIR, and White Album 2. I cried so much over them that I felt like doing nothing at all and just cry under my blankets. Little Busters! After I realized that it was pretty sad that I didn't have such good friends, I kinda despised anime for an hour or so. |

| [quote=Novelaer]Clannad: After Story, AIR, and White Album 2. I cried so much over them that I felt like doing nothing at all and just cry under my blankets. I cried in Clanned AS as well... I cryed when they didn't even kiss once after 50 episodes |
| Evangellion put me on a year long hiatus |
| ~Hime Hime~ |
| The ending of Clannad pissed me of so much that I stopped watching anime for a while. I knew the Nagisa eding was coming and I should just op hoping for Kyuo or Tomoyo, but when it actually happened I really just wanted to go to Japan and stab Ishihara Tatsuya repeatedly. I'm at least glad Fuko didn't win cause then I actually might have done it. |
