I watched the entire Yama no Susume first season in 1 day (not much, since it's a short) and immediately afterwards rewatched the entire Usagi Drop series (meaning I also watched the specials). That's all.

You should also try Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. :)

I probably have watched it 2-3x already and it still makes me laugh a lot! Seriously!

I have also watched Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! - lol its crazy, I hope they could have done more episodes of her actually making progress, lol!

I don't know what did it, but Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! Really got to me, maybe It was because I could relate? Maybe because I found the MC somewhat attractive? Either way, I'm having the biggest anime hangover over it, right now ;-;

There's quite a few to choose from but these are my most unique.

Saki - I don't even know why, but something about how the characters reacted while playing a game I don't know squat about (mahjong) was just so amusing and addicting. Also the super powers kept me going as well.

fantasista Doll - I actually didn't like this and gave it a 4/10, but it was so campy and cheesy that I ate it right up in one sitting.

True, true, but when you watch 4-5 hours of anime on regular occasions, that must have some affect on your health. (not that I do it regularly myself)

The last anime I can remember finishing in one day was Evangelion, and though I like Eva quite a bit, I wouldn't say me finishing it quicker was because I thought it was the best thing ever. I think I just didn't have anything better to do that day.

Generally what I enjoy most are longer series that I can take my time with. For me, watching stuff at a slower pace allows it to sink in better than marathoning it does. Binge watching shows makes me feel like I've done the show a disservice -- like I'm not giving the show the proper attention deserved.

Attack on Titan almost, I would've watched it all in one day if the day didn't end before I could finish.
I watched no game no life in one day.

Hasn't everybody?

I don't remember all the shows I marathoned off the top of my head but for me it was: Madoka Magica, Dance in the Vampire Bund, Deadman Wonderland, Free!, Ga-Rei Zero, Higashi no Eden, and I think H.O.T.D. I always get this weird feeling after spending hoes watching the same show until the end.

Holy shit, what have I been doing with my life?

It's not uncommon for me to marathon a shorter, 12 episode series in a day, but I've never managed to fit a full 25 episodes into a single day.

mmmm yes


i try to marathon most, or watch a lot at one time. i hate waiting weekly to watch the next episode, so i usually dont even bother until the show's season ends.

I do it all the time even regardless of how good a show is. Most 12ish episode series I watch in one day since it only takes like 4 hours. For 24ish episode shows it normally takes me 2 maybe 3 days depending on how much free time I have.

That's how I prefer to watch shows. I typically don't watch them simultaneously and don't watch anything that is still airing. I like to sit down and bang out a whole show in one sitting about once every week or two.

The comedy in that show was so good that I marathoned the entire season in one sitting without doing anything else in between but click on the next episode

I'd say something like 30% of anime I have seen were watched in one day. NHK,School Days,Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou,Wolf's Rain,True Tears,Ef: a Tale of Memories/Melodies. Can't remember all of them

No, but I watched some small ones:

Golden Boy (6 episodes, finished in one night, give it a 7)

Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail (5 episodes, finished in one night, give it a 7)

Tamayura (4 short episodes, finished in one random day after lunch, give it a 6)

Gunbuster (6 episodes, finished in one day, give it a 7)

Diebuster (6 episodes, finished in one night, give it a 7)

For some coincidence, they were all pretty good. But not "so good that I couldn't stop", is just that they were short enough to watch in a row. Aside that, I don't watch things in one day.

I've marathoned a 24 episode show in a day before. A one cour show is only about 4 and half hours of time, so I have done that plenty of times. It's not really that weird, it's like watching two movies back to back. I am sure many people have done that (if you can find two movies to watch on Netflix. I usually spend more time looking for something than I do watching lately.)

I marathon most of the anime I watch :)

But the most memorable is probably Kore wa Zombie desu ka?. It was too funny and random to stop watching >.<

I also really liked Elfen Lied and Another, but I watched those over a few days.
