| "How do you deal with anime burnout ?" So far, I have never had one. |
 |
| For me its more like "anime droughts" than burnouts that I have to deal with. I have to look harder and harder to find stuff I enjoy, and to look further and further out of my comfort zone. I would say, taking a break is one of the better things you can do. Other than that, I think revisiting some of the shows that got you into anime might reignite your passion, or it could be something else too, like maybe there is something you had always wanted to do, or that you had been saving, that you could dust off to get excited again. |
| How do you deal with anime burnout? A day of binging Friends or other western contain. |
 |
| * do other things: like job work, house work + healthy stuff like working out and going outside * watch more varied stuff, you'll get burnout because you're watching the same show with different titles (but same tropes and all basically), so watch more varied stuff and even live action series (if you like any) * mix in other entertainment methods like gaming, reading books, reading manga will also help |
| i start dropping or lessening the amount of anime i watch |
| By doing anything other than watching anime, such as reading manga. |

| The trick is just to pace it. If you feel like you are watching too much anime dial it down and watch over stuff too. I once set myself a target of at least 5 episodes a day. Now It's more varied or very rarely no episodes at all |
 |
| Taking a break from anime usually helps. And focusing on some other hobbies in the meantime. |
 |
| Dropping anything that bored me as soon as possible helped me avoiding any kind of burnout. A drop is not always forever, though. I'm giving some of my dropped anime another try after a few years: sometimes I surprisingly enjoy them, some other times I drop them again. What matters is not torturing yourself right now. |

Never had a burnout.. there always is a title I wanna watch or re-watch.. I dunno how can watching for entertainment be exhausting or stressful.. Maybe only if it's treated as a job, or consuming beyond preferences.. Well, in any case, if I ever suffer from it, I'd turn to listing to audio-stories or reading.. or working.. |
 |
| I Don't have a anime burnout maybe because I used as a kid is more like a cartoon to me, mostly combing anime and cartoon so that you have different variety. |
 |
| I just watch live-action movies/TV shows or play video games in the meantime. I try not to force myself to watch anime. Eventually I'll come across an anime that sounds interesting and that should be enough to spark my interest again. |
 |
| I took a break for two years and now I feel like watching a lot of anime again |
| Usually I don't have such thing as burnout, I just watch anime when I feel I'd like to a random one/seasonal/something which I was waiting for doesn't matter. So far the only long breaks from anime were due to vacation trips, being in places with no internet/very low connection etc. At everyday stuff when I ain't watching anime I just simply do either my real life stuff job or related stuff, hang out with someone, play video games, do some workout, go for a walk etc. |
| People usually feel burnout when they watch too much anime, the only way to get out of this is to stop watching them for a while or watch less, or you can just watch moderate amount of anime to not get in the phase of burnout in the first place. |
| Stop watching anything new. Rewatch your favourite anime or anime that you had an urge of rewatching. |
| I never get one so. I watch a show or 2 then I play games for 2-3 weeks with 0 anime watching and if I find a fun game or 2 that takes time it can go 2-3 months |
 |
| just take a break. duration of the break is proportional to the severity of the burnout. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I cut everything related to anime, and challenge myself on a 800 pages novel read. Sometimes a week is enough. |
 |
| Watch less and do other stuff instead. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| So far I havent had any. What I do have had is that suddenly most of my time gets consumed and I barely got time to watch any anime. If I ever had one, I will do just like any other hobby burn out: do other stuff and return to it. Just satying on these community, the memes and stuff like that will bring me back |
