tl;dr

Are you really already bored with anime after only completing 63?
Animu gets old pretty quickly-

Read some good manga, then, some day, you'll say "I want to watch some stupid anime" and you'll enjoy it


Needs to read that TLR: Darkness manga.

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.

It's probably just losing the magic in everything, including anime. I'm not sure anyone's ever been to avoid that. It usually happens in your teens.

You've probably just need to take a break from it for awhile. It's happened to me on more than a few occasions. You'll eventually see something that catches your interest and be back into it. Till then relax, read a book, or play some video games.

Lately anime hasnt felt the same, but sometimes it does.
Bad anime makes me not want to watch anime. Good anime makes me want to watch more anime.

Solution: Drop any anime that isn't addictive to watch.

Just drop the bad ones and move on.

Only pick up a few shows at a time and drop the ones you don't like? Might help you appreciate the good ones better and therefore makes you enjoy anime again.

The problem is that anime nowadays is usually very boring and stupid. Try something older, especially from the 1995~2007 era. There are a lot of gems in that period.

And don't be scared. If you eventually get fed up with anime, it will not hurt you because you'll naturally want to stop watching. It happened to me with video-games.

You always have manga. For example i stopped watching anime (as long as there will be moe and fanservice, for me the Japanese animation is dead) but I switched to manga because I've realized that this industry is still free from otaku and there is a great variety of genres/stories

Just dropping by to say thanks for you comment but i disagree with the "anime used to be better" nonsense.

Anime was always a bunch of shit with the occasional great series.

Most of us were just young in that era and feel nostalgic about it.
