| It's just a casual thing to happen when you consume a lot of things in a short time. Your desire to watch more anime will come back again to you... eventually. |

| Why does media burnout seem to be such an alien concept for so many anime fans? Just stop watching for a while and come back to it if/when you ever feel the desire to do so. It ain't rocket science. |
| Yes, take a break and try after some time. |
| Take a break, my friend. When you come back, you can look the recommendations for the animes you've watched. |
 |
| I browsed your completed, planned and dropped list and I'm seeing a lot of shows with very similar themes. Lots of harem/romcom type stuff. Harem anime almost never provides closure and anime romance usually lacks a satisfactory ending. Too much of that sort of disappointment will burn anyone out. |
 |
| No, force urself coz watch anime is a must u dont allowed miss any single day whatever problem u would face |
 |
| Take a break. When you feel like watching anime, watch something you think you'll like. |
| Ohh that, don't worry men, take two years off... And try again, it works for me I started watching anime again last year. So oooo |
| Sounds like you should probably watch something radically different from usual or stop watching altogether for a bit. |
| Hey, watching anime is a hobby, not an obligation! |
  |
| when this happens to me, I always go to my 3 options: 1- I see some anime that I really enjoy with dub since it makes me more comfortable, and I try not to concentrate on watching it too much, I just enjoy it calmly since I don't need to get into the plot. 2- I read manga, anything, I feel that it is more comfortable because you can go at the pace you want when reading. 3-I try any other media, video games, movies and western series, sometimes it is good to try stories in different ways. |

| Do you really need to watch so much at once? You shouldn't or shouldn't ever have felt compelled to watch a large amount for some reason and may derive more enjoyment from spreading it out. You say you started around a year ago? I started over 4 1/2 years ago in 2016 and even at the very beginning and any time since, I never watched 24 episodes of the same show in a day. Even shows I absolutely loved and cherished as my favorite piece of media in existence and have since rewatched and revisited in different forms for years. I still don't think I'd get pleasure from watching 24 episodes straight of anything. It would start to feel rushed and all blend together. The most I ever watched of a single show in a single day was 13 episodes, I believe, and even that was a rarity of only a few times. So maybe people who watch so much at such a high rate early on rather than enjoying it in a more slow-paced leisurely fashion will burn-out and feel "anime fatigue" sooner. |
Kvilt said: Same thing here. It feels like watching anime is a must so I thought that I need to watch all the anime on my list.I started watching anime a year ago, and it felt so good. I could watch a full 24 episode anime in one night, i loved it. Now i struggle to even watch one episode a day, its become so boring and dosent bring out the same emotions out like it did before. I dont know what to do because i love anime, and i would do anything to get the same feeling. Does anybody have any sugestions for what to do? Should i stop watching anime for a time, and start again. Should i force myself, idk i just want to start again |

| if you don't feel like it, take a break. Don't force yourself to do something you don't enjoy. |
 |
| Take a break. What I do to prevent burnouts or at least make it less frequent is to shuffle between genre. For example if I've watched something very action heavy then the next anime I will watch is probably some light hearted slice of life. It makes every series refreshing and you doesn't get sick of it too often. |
| Try to find something outside of your comfort zone. And don't think of it as 'watching anime,' just try to watch cool stuff and have fun. |
| Noooo! Come back! Anime must be watched! |

| You've achieved burnout, go touch grass and return someday. |
| then stop watching and give it a go again if it's return someday. |
| This happened to me so many times. Luckily, each time it did, there was always an anime that dragged me back. Try to watch something different. An anime that doesn't seem like any others you've watched before. Movies are fine, too. They might regain your interest in anime, and might change your taste also. |
 |
| Stop watching anime and go consume other media like videogames and tv series, anime isn't the only thing out there. Don't force yourself trying to like it. |
| But it does not like you have watched much shows yet considering your claim of binging 24 episodes series in a single night. |

Either take a break from it, or try to find other genres than what you usually watch. You have choices, it just depends on what you want to do about it. @epidemia78 brought up that kind of point but from the other side. You're bored/burned out on watching the same types of shows over and over. Maybe try some SOL, or CGDCT. You can slow your pace down by trying something currently airing. You can't binge and get burned out on what hasn't been released yet. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| I've experienced this a few times as well. Here's what I did to fill the time that was replaced with watching anime: picked up some new hobbies - reading, walking, playing piano played some games i enjoyed reading reviews and deep dives on some of my favorite anime consuming some other type of anime content - music, reviews, discussions and other things. after about a month past i was looking forward to looking back into some shows to watch and i enjoyed them probably more than i would have if i just keep watching through the "anime depression" |
My taste is trash. So is yours. |
| Either try things that are outside your preferred genre or just simply take a long break. Maybe it's just a simple case of anime burnout |

| I diversify what I watch by watching 1 episode of multiple anime a day. Make sure to drop series you do not like though. The will to complete everything will cause anime to become a drag. |
 |
| Maybe stopping for a while will help. Because sometimes I feel bored of watching too so i don't watch for a while and eventually I feel like watching it again |

I'm helping this guy get through his slump, I watch bad anime in order to trash it for being crimes against the good taste. If I serve as a filter for a guy lacking motivation, I'm doing my unpaid but righteous work |
A savior, you've been a huge help in this discussion, I personally thank you. |
My taste is trash. So is yours. |
| Take a break. It’s what everyone does and most of the time there back to watching anime after a month |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| Take a short break, maybe read some manga, watch some hentai. If that doesn't work, try movies, tv series and music. If that doesn't work try YouTube. Give it a few months, then try watching something. |

| Had the same problem at some point after literally blasting through so fking much Anime in a really short time . Either you take a break , or you can try to binge a long running series (HxH , Naruto , Bleach , yea you get my point) . In my case i binges One Piece and literally had no time to think about being bored . |

| If anything, please DO NOT WATCH anime to the point of burnout. Take ample breaks and do what you like doing IRL, unless you have friends that you do catch up anime with then that's an issue on its own. |
