| After watching Mirai Nikki, I stopped watching anime for some weeks because I was blinded by its masterpiece I lost my faith in the medium. |

| I quit woman after Mirai Nikki. |
| The Second Barrage as a whole Hansel and Gretel made me lose my mojo for a bit, I guess. And/or the Time-Wasting arc of Higurashi. That arc was poo. |

Da Capo III Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro Na Magi Setokai no Ichizon I remember it being average; was it really that bad that it made you wanna kick the bucket? |

| I didn't care too much for Magi (aside from Sinbad & morgiana) but I wouldn't say it was gut wrenching..... |
mythical020 said: Ah... I think I know what you mean. This is what's happening to me now. After finishing Gin no Saji 2, I can't focus on any other anime in my watch list. It's just so good and brilliant that my mind subconsciously think that there would be nothing better than it. (and the manga isn't updated yet *sigh*) Check out Uchuu Kyoudai! Same type of comedy, the whole "reach your dreams" kind of theme and even more :D They both focus on non-mainstream topics: Space & Agriculture.

It made me take a break from sports anime for me. |
| Clannad. I watched the first episode because I was curious about why everyone praised it. I then took a few hours to ponder what is wrong with humanity, why everyone is an idiot, and when did we take a wrong turn. Then I watched something good. |
| I think I started watching Guilty Crown and after the first few episodes I took quite a long break. Possibly a year long. |
 |
| Major not only made me start to watch anime again a lot more, but it also made me watch a lot of sports anime, especially baseball related. By the way, I have never watched a single baseball match in real life and probably never will. |
 |
| I took a week long break after watching Monster. Its rare for me to get immensely invested into an anime like that. |
| Yes. It's called Cowboy Bebop. The most overrated garbage on the planet. I'd rather watch a live stream of Call of Duty for the rest of my life. |
| Anime>Breaking bad. |
| No. One show is not representative of the entire vast medium that is anime. I don't really see the logic in self-banning yourself from the medium because of one self-contained show when you can just stop watching the show you had the bad experience with and just watch something else. I mean, I didn't quit "movies" after watching Battlefield Earth or The Cell despite how much they suck. |

| edolas arc in fairy tail made me take a two month break from all anime. Watched lost during that time :P |
jorgensen said: edolas arc in fairy tail made me take a two month break from all anime. Watched lost during that time :P Haha yeah that was officially the worst arc imo. I did take a long break from the manga during that. |
| Haibane Renmei (in a good way) It was really thought provoking and well made. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (in a bad way) |
| 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 |

| 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. |
