Do another thing like sports or something.
I usually play videogames two months and I don't watch anime and other times is on the contrary. Sometimes the only thing I do is read books, these kind of things.

For most people it's inevitable, you have that initial phase where you watch a burst of anime and as time wears on you find other interests/activities that take your time, so anime becomes more of a past time as opposed to a "hobby". Nothing wrong with that, just means you're probably bored with the average recycled anime anyway. I don't think you'll stop liking anime, you'll just have other things to like as well so the impact of its absence won't be as severe as you would think.

you can make a little pause with watching anime and read some manga. someday you will just go on with watching them.

I stopped watching anime for six years except for Miyazaki films. I will love them whether or not I love anime at the moment.

I'm not as obsessed now as I was then, but taking a break gave me time to come back and appreciate my old favorites again. It's like watching my favorite series for the first time again.

But, inevitably, you'll grow out of anime. At least out of obsession with it. I only watch the best of the best nowadays.

I kind of feel the same way although I'm sure I won't be able to watch as much anime. I wont stop but probably I will only watch a few ( based on popularity) which is not something to be proud of but I think you should just enjoy it and watch as many anime as you can right now.

I'm not sure if its a self fulfilling prophecy.

I come to you for help mal. Hel me.


i think the only reason you would stop liking anime is because you found something more interesting to do.

maybe you just don't find something that good enough for you to watch these day that's make you felt that way, or that you just already watch all the best stuff and you think the rest of it is a crap that makes you felt like anime doesn't felt the same.

I am a very impatient person when it comes to anything really, even anime. So I usually stick with short series (11-13 eps). A series needs to keep my attention 24/7 for me to continue watching it basically. I always struggle to start a new series, I'm never in the mood. I have to always rewatch a series I've favored to get back into it. Maybe it's the storylines that aren't original anymore so you expect something different in a new series, when you can't find that you stop watching anime until next season to hopefully find an original series. I suppose now, normal is boring. But also, original storylines can be boring too, how slow each episode progresses. I haven't watched a single episode of anything in almost 3 weeks, I would love to watch more anime, I just need to know how to keep my interest up to finish/start a series ha

If you want originality then maybe anime is not for you.

Anime are based in cliche and basic plot, using the same foundations over and over again.

Take a break I guess. Watch too much and you'll burn yourself out far too fast. I'm sure there are other things you can be doing while not watching anime, like playing games or whatever.

Watching a variety of shows and experimentation with genres you haven't explored yet. That seems to have worked for me.

Personally, I've been watching anime for almost two decades and while I sometimes tire of individual shows I've never burned out on the medium.

To keep it as simple as possible, I just mix things up and choose titles from various genres and styles at random. That's it. For example, I'm hogging down a bunch of ecchi right now but I'm looking at starting up LotGH in the next week or two. And then after that who knows? I might even pick up a shounen-ai after that if I'm really in the mood.

Usually during weekdays/any day I have to work or go to school, I'll maybe watch like an episode or two of a long anime (Gintama, One Piece, etc.)

During breaks and free weekends, if I feel like binging on anime, I'll watch a bunch of short series/read some shorter manga.

I also tend to watch a ton of American TV (sitcoms, crime shows, Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad) and a lot of movies as well. So that generally prevents me from ever getting bored with anime, especially since I don't watch anime year-round.

When I get bored, I just stop watching for awhile. That really helps because I tend to come back refresh, and yearning for some good ol' anime. Sometimes, I just read manga until I get bored of that,,,

I just watch anime when I'm in a mood for it (which is most of the time), and I often switch genres so I can get a little bit of variation.
I rarely take a break, but it can happen from time to time when I got important stuff to do.

This happened to me some months ago.
I felt so bored about anime and I stopped watching for 5 months. Then today, I feel like watching anime again.
I think this is not a thing to worry about, you will feel like enjoying anime sometime.
