| I know damn well that everyone here who watches/reads anime long enough has gone to this phase. |
| I did but never again. Cuz I don't binge anymore. |
 |
| Many times but with time I discover interesting stuff to watch and I always return. |
| Yes, I completely stopped watching anime for 2 years because of that. |
| The longest it happened was for 2 days and that too due to drowsiness. |
| 99,99% of this people that feel this way, is just hanged up on a sort of genre. it's that easy. |
 |
| most of the time, however whenever I decide to watch/read, it is always the best decision ever made |
  |
| Maybe I had it like in 2015 when I stopped watching anime (don't remember well why I stopped) but since I came back last year, I haven't experienced that yet. There's too much to watch so I don't think I will in a long time. Also, I'm really busy with studies rn so I can't binge. |
 |
| yes, i have. back around december of last year i had no motivation to watch anime and read manga, but i do now, which is nice. |
| Yup, back in 2018. I got back to watching anime again in 2019. Good times, good times... |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| every fuckin month im a true gentleman , im into kdramas right now ^_^ |
 OBAMOS |
| Yeah it happened with me a few months ago I just completely lost interest to watch any anime where there are lots of good anime are there to watch but I didn't got any motivations to begin with |
 |
| You can read Anime? Yes, I have and i just do my other hobby when it happens to me |
  |
| Yes I felt that way in early 2019 before that I was that guy who was watching 10+ seasonals every season. After fall 2018 I just stopped when the new year started nothing interested me even shows that were on my plan to watch or that I had started none of them and it took me watching some old shows like LOGH and onisama to restart watching again though I still don't really watch seasonals even now. |
| Back when I binged many series in a short span of time, yes, I would get sick for a few days or weeks. But now I mostly watch seasonals, so it does not happen anymore. I only watch on certain days of the week, and then spend the rest of my time doing other things. |
| At first, I was taking breaks for just a couple of days, and those buffer periods were scattered for me atleast. But the biggest gap was throughout the Spring season this year, a time where I was just can't do anything and just watch or read whatever I even can. Now I'm recovering and doing the stuff that I normally do, but I can imagine that it will happen to me pretty soon. |
 |
| Yea it happens for me once every few years. Lately I don't have much free time so it seems I will not catch up with everything so fast... |
| I haven't lost motivation, it's just that I've been so incredibly busy that I haven't had the chance to sit down and binge shows like I used to before February this year. I'm working 45 hours a week, so my life currently consists of either working or sleeping, which I don't mind since I'm making good money, even throughout the pandemic. It really goes to show that time is a commodity. And because I'm always sleeping, I don't have the urge to watch anime like I used to. If I were to match my numbers from last year, then I would have to complete another 500-600 anime titles (which is possible with MVs) within the next 3 months. |

| you mean *read manga* right? well i was obsessed with genshin impact for like 2 months or something and that's why i didn't watch anime for shit in that time, but losing the motivation... i can actually relate way too much i just need the right words lol wait i. i have borrowed manga and books 1 (one) *year* ago. I have not touched them since. The guilt has been overflowing me for a whole year straight so i'm planning on giving them all away at once the next few weeks. the point is, i procrastinated things i adore for a year straight because i simply had neither the motivation nor the energy to simply. read. i can't read my favourite books anymore, it hurts so yeah i know the feeling and i'm glad it hasn't really happened with anime yet...i'm anxious it will<x |

| sometimes, but i always keep coming back |
| Plenty of times, particularly given the amount I've seen/read of anime/manga/light novels/even some visual novels. I've even gone through the phase of rewatching most I wanted to rewatch at some point when it comes to great shows. I'm still somehow alive and kicking when it comes to consuming stuff, for now. |
| I have these days every now and then. |

| I have been there countless times, but due to the lack of interest for me in other forms of media nowadays, I always find myself coming back for more. |
 |
| It's happens to me every once in a while for a few weeks I won't watch anime. It mainly occurs when I watch several bad or boring anime in a row. |
| well I guess it happens but even during those phases I just find different genres I usually don’t watch to ignite my interest for anime again |
 |
| I'm in it right now, and have been for a loooong time now. I just rewatch the same thing over and over again, and read some new stuff. Haven't watched anything new a while. |

YaBoiMick said: I know damn well that everyone here who watches/reads anime long enough has gone to this phase. lol you might want to edit your title... But responding to your question, yes. It's a seasonal thing either due to not having time available, not being interested in anything, just not feeling it or all combined. Thankfully it's something that if you give it time, it fixes itself. Just gotta enjoy other hobbies in the meantime... or hope for that amazing title that keeps you on the edge of your chair ;D |
| it's called burnout, you can't move on since everything is not enjoyable,same like me who binged chimera ant and cried a lot in the ending or stressed out in assignment hell in school |
 |
| Yeah, I've gone through that phase for almost a year in the past. |
| 2 years ago... But I am back Nowwwww babybbbbbbb......!!! |
| Yes when I tried overexerting myself but then I started to take it slow and be there for the journey rather than rush things, it makes it more enjoyable anyways. |
| Yep, a few times. Usually waiting it out and taking a small break does the job |
