Just curious to find how long it generally takes people to start a new series? I've found so far the better the anime the harder it is for me to start something new since I end up lurking the internet to find more information on the anime I've just finished.

I usually watch 1 anime per day. For example if I finish an 11 episodes show on a day I start another the next day. If I finish a 150 episodes show I wait forthe day after watching episode 150 to start something else. And if I watch a movie I wait 'til the next day to watch something else

I probably regret this post by now.

A day or two. Depends on how impactful the show was.

Yeah I've found that, the more impact the anime has on me the longer it takes me to start something fresh

I typically watch anime at night and in the morning, so about twelve hours. I actually have two backlogged anime that I'm watching right now. I'm not including short anime. I once watched 34 anime in one day, but they were short.

Less than a minute. It only takes as long as it takes to pop in the next disc or click on the new file/streaming episode.

That depends often when I watch a really good show I'ts hard for me to watch a new series for example after I finished Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood I didnt finish any other series in a month cuz Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was so good that I got tired of every other show ^^"

Same here. I'm not that sentimental.

Just depends on my mood. I usually end up wasting time browsing the internet though, when I could be starting on my next damn anime lol

Depends. There are a lot of variables that make up my decision (Including real life circumstances), but I'll never wait to watch another anime just because the anime I just watched was impact or some shit. Even for Steins;Gate it only took as long as to find a new title that was worth watching (Tokyo Ghoul, was it? I dunno, that was at the start of September). I just took a few weeks break because I felt I had nothing I really wanted to watch.

Depends on what time it is. If I still have time, I'll watch more. If I have to go to bed or go somewhere, I'll watch it after that.

As soon as I finish the last episode of the last series.

There's no reason to wait. Life is short.

Really depends on the mood, but most of the time it takes me only a day to start a new show.

I prefer going immediately to another anime, to forget the previous one I watched if it had an emotional ending or was really good and saddens me that it ended

Depends on what anime it was. Nowadays though I usually can barely finish an anime before starting another and dropping the last one, even if it was good and I liked it.. just can't finish things for some reason.

Well I didn't think of this maybe in a 5 to 10 seconds. It depends how fast I manage to pick one. But most of the time I already have plans on what to watch.

Depends on how much I enjoyed it. If it was crap I can start a new one immediately, but if it was really, really good I will need a couple of days to let it sink in.

1 day to recover from the awesomeness of the anime I saw or 1 day to forget I saw something crappy.

It's been taking longer lately.... come to think of it, the moment I returned to Lanka, my desire to watch anime has dwindled down again.
