How fast did you watch your favorite anime?

Was wondering how many days/weeks it took you to complete your favorite shows. Me personally most of my 10s I watched over an unexpectedly large time regardless of length. (Granted almost all of them are 40+ episodes.) While the majority of my 9s were in the 12 - 24 episodes range. (And I watched pretty quick, 2 - 3 days if it wasn't airing) Anyways the 2 questions I wanted to ask were, how long it took you on average for each of your 10s. And how many episodes your 8 - 9 scores are.

Began in 2007 when it was airing and I kept rewatching Bleach over and over untill it ended so it took me around 5 years to finish it. [as the last episode aired in 2012, forgot the month]

For the other questions [gonna check anime+ and others so soon will edit]:
10s - when I watch the last episode and I know that I've enjoyed watching it. Exception are Bleach which I gave a rating before aswell as To your eternity S1 when I gave it a score after 12th episode. Most of them should have 12 around episodes, some will have 20-24 or more
8-9 - I guess same

According to anime+
10s: 852.23 hrs spent on all anime I've rated 10 which is 23.41% of my whole time in Mal
9s: 679.21hrs which is 18.6%.
8s: 595hrs which is 16.35%

Highest mean score for episode count is 8,73 for titles of 14-26 eps.

[When anime is good I can watch it in one day if it doesn't have more than 30 episodes - Yesterday I've got motivation and I've pulled 33 episodes watching marathon with a break to mow the grass from the last part of my garden so pehaps I'd be able to watch even more. Today I have already 14 and from what I plan to watch I guess maybe I'd hit 20+]

I watched Watamote over 2 days, it's only 12 episodes though. The longest show in my favorites is Ranma 1/2, which took me several months to watch. I think it is around 160 episodes. I usually watch at most two or three episodes a day these days, partly because if I'm watching a show that I like, I like to spread it out so that I don't watch the whole show in a couple days. Also I don't have as much free time as I used to so I don't watch as much anymore.

I finished 86 at around I think 3 days? If I rewatch it now, I could probably binge-watch it within a day.

Kind of forgot, I was playing the visual novel and watching the anime at the same time, sometimes 1 episode per day and sometimes 1 episode every a few days, so it was at least a month I guess.

One Piece- It was the first anime that I watched aside from Bakugan. I was and still am pretty obsessed with it. It was the only anime I watched until I got to the Dressrosa arc I think.

Mob Psycho- The two seasons were already out by then. So maybe two weeks or maybe even one. It was during pandemic

Ace of the Diamond- I can't give you an exact time frame but I was pretty obsessed with it. One time, I spent pretty much the whole day watching it.

Can't be bothered for the rest. Long story short, Most of my top rated shows, I enjoyed so I binged and then post-show depression kicked in.

12 weeks because I watched it when it was airing

14-15 episodes a day used to be my limit. Nowadays, I hardly surpass 6 episodes a day because real life responsibilities and all that shitty stuffs.

I watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes in around four months. I had to make a pause in between watching due to certain events in the series that really affected me, then basically binged the remaining episodes.

For the rest of my favorites, I usually take around a month or so to finish a shorter (12 to 26) episode series.

One franchise that I've kept up with for years is Gundam, I watched my first Gundam series around 2017/2018 and to this day I'm still watching some sequels and spinoffs.

Well, I haven't finished my favourites because I can't deal with the idea of them being over. Thus I left the last episode on hold.
But aside for the last episode, I watched them as they were ongoing

As quickly as humanly possible, accounting for things like sleeping, eating and bathroom breaks. Not anime, but I recently watched Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul back to back, took me like ten days to get through. Worth it.  Will do the same thing for anime I like, provided I have the time and it is complete. Watched Hunter x Hunter in 4 days.

Better to binge stuff, so your head is filled with all the information. If you space it out too much, you forget things and won't be able to appreciate the small details.

I'm a binger myself, once I'm super invested I start obsessing and I have to see what happens next. I first watched Evangelion late at night on a Thursday I stayed up all night until about episode 8 when Asuka was introduced, then when I got home from school the following day on Friday I binged straight from episode 9 all the way to End of Eva. It was like 1 am when I finished and I didn't even eat dinner lol.

For me its typically 2 - 4 days for my nines, typically they are 12-13 episodes. While my 10's seemed to take way longer even when taking in episode length. Appreciate the response.

 A long series being one of your favorites sounds really nice. Gintama is the only show I have like that, if you had to estimate, how many times do you think you rewatched it?

I watched Maison Ikkoku over a very long period of time and it used to be my favorite show of all time, since its by the same author would you recommend it still? Does it feel dated at all when watching it now?

I can't watch an entire show by itself within a days time personally, (maybe when I first started). But I have heard good things about 86 if you could tell me what you liked so much about it I would love to hear it and maybe watch it soon.

Do you typically watch shows while playing things? I mainly do it for things I'm not too interested in. What was the show if you don't mind me asking? Always glad to check a show out at the very least that people think is really good.

I feel you about the post show depression. When I finished Gintama it felt like a part of my daily routine was missing. If you had to put a time frame on One Piece what would it be? (Also I heard One Piece pace slows down around Dressrosa is this true or would you just recommend reading the manga?)

I saw that most of your favorites were around 12 episodes. I tried watching To Love Ru in 2018-19ish and don't remember anything about it besides the ecchi. Would you recommend it at all?

I feel the same, but getting moneys more important than the shows. Anyways if you had to explain what and why your favorite is and how long it took I would love to hear it.

Not very fast. I prefer to savour it in small sips like a good wine.
I watched most of my 10s very slow (not sure if its because they are longer or if I just enjoyed taking them in more). While most of my 9's were shorter and I breezed through, appreciate the information.

I loved everything about 86, but the elements that stuck out to me the most was the storyboarding/telling, music, and the characters. I'm not good at explaining things, but do check it out if you have the time!

I feel as if everyone has LOTGH on their PTW. Anything about it you can say that would get someone into watching it? And Gundam feels as if it appeals to certain group, I feel as if Lupin III has the same kinda thing with it going. Either you like it or you you hate it. Appreciate the reply

It's good if you have simple humor and like anime tiddies. I prefer the manga a bit more over the anime. Note that the anime is barely based on the manga and mostly original, so you could consume both for the maximal dose.

Have a friend who absolutely loves breaking bad. (Who doesn't?) But I watched a run down of all seasons, so I know what happens. And he said I ruined it for myself Do you think its still worth the watch or did I ruin it for myself?

Depends.  As short a time as a few hours and as long a time a a year or two depending on the format (movie, OVA, series), length, how much free time I had, and whether or not it was completed at the time or currently airing.

If I have the time, I can easily finish a completed 13 episode series in under 6 hours and 26 episode show in under 12 hours.  Series longer than that take a few days.  Currently airing series air one episode per week for how many episodes there are of said series and take months or years to finish.

I'd say that LotGH is not as pretentious as many people think it is, it's actually a quite grounded war drama with endearing characters. It's not for everyone though, being far more similar to a historical documentary than to a regular anime in terms of pacing.

And yes, the Gundam franchise can be polarizing and varies heavily in terms of quality from one entry to another. I don't like Lupin myself, but I can see the similarities between the loyal fandoms of both franchises.

I haven't watched Maison Ikkoku yet so I don't know how similar it is, but I would recommend it. So far I have liked everything that I've seen from Rumiko Takahashi. Ranma 1/2 is a little weird and I guess some parts might be a little dated, but I don't think that really takes away from the show much. The show is pretty funny and the characters are pretty over the top most of the time, but it does have some genuinely sweet moments in it from time to time. There is also a lot of random nudity in it,

Pre-burnout I would finish a 24 episode anime in less than two days. 
Post-burnout I would finish a 24 episode anime over the course of months. 

If we're talking about one particular anime, it took me two years to finish YuYu Hakusho.

I've been meaning to watch LotGH for a long time, but with it's reputation I'm kind of intimidated by it. It sounds like a show I'd really enjoy, but I don't want to go into it with with the expectation that it is going to be the 'greatest masterpiece of all time', if that makes sense.

To be honest I'm a little bit intimidated by Gundam too, but I think that is more because there are so many different entries for it.

I watched LoGH without any prior knowledge but a friend's recommendation so can'tell you about expectations. I do know most people who actually finish it like it.

Gundam basically has a main timeline known as the Universal Century (Gundam UC) and several different alternative universes unrelated to UC (Gundam Wing, 00, SEED and others) that are pretty much standalone entries. I would recommend either starting with an AU series or looking into the UC timeline (Gundam 0080 is a pretty short and beginner friendly entry)

@EverRealm I started One Piece back in 2017. I didn't start from the beginning tho. I had already read the manga up to Thriller Bark so I started from there. I caught up maybe at the end of 2020 or the beginning of 2021. So It took me 4 years, more or less. I definitely had weeks where I was speeding through episodes and some other times, I was watching some show on Netflix.

According to the episode details, it took me 3 weeks to watch Clannad After Story... the first half of it anyways, the rest (and definitely best) part was a big binge.

When I rewatched it it took me 6 days.

Well, I haven't finished my favourites because I can't deal with the idea of them being over. Thus I left the last episode on hold.
But aside for the last episode, I watched them as they were ongoing
What were your favorites and how long did they take. Did you have any that you watched post airing?

3 gatsu is a slow burner so pretty long actually. Maybe 2-3 weeks.
Heard good things about that, anything you can say to get someone to watch it?

As quickly as humanly possible, accounting for things like sleeping, eating and bathroom breaks. Not anime, but I recently watched Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul back to back, took me like ten days to get through. Worth it.  Will do the same thing for anime I like, provided I have the time and it is complete. Watched Hunter x Hunter in 4 days.

Better to binge stuff, so your head is filled with all the information. If you space it out too much, you forget things and won't be able to appreciate the small details.
Have a friend who absolutely loves breaking bad. (Who doesn't?) But I watched a run down of all seasons, so I know what happens. And he said I ruined it for myself Do you think its still worth the watch or did I ruin it for myself?

Yep. I knew a lot of spoilers going in and watched like 30 minutes of clips of it (those are the reasons why I decided to give it a go in the first place). It's fantastic in every area. And this is coming from a person who hates the live action medium and hasn't completed a series in over a decade. I've heard people say good things about Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and decided to check them out. Came in with high expectations and even they were blow away. A must-watch, easily the pinnacle of TV. 

Take some time to get the info out of your head, then give it a watch. One after the other, for optimal viewing pleasure.

I paused it initially after a few eps so I don't have a good estimate, but I want to say maybe 2 weeks for 38 eps + the movie? It usually doesn't take me that long to finish stuff. I don't rate stuff anymore but I hold in somewhat high regard anime i've finished in less than a day - 3

I think watched all of Legend of the Galactic Heroes in like 2 1/2 weeks. It was great I wasn't doing much at the time had a lot free time. After watching like the first main arch I just got so drawn in and then watched like 60-70 episodes in one week which is one of the highest amount of episodes i have watched in a week. Slow down after that where I finished up the late 20 or some episodes the next week.

Technically it took me a year from start to end, because Netflix released the first batch of episodes on December 1st 2021 and the last batch on December 1st 2022, but if we're just talking about the time it took me to actually watch each individual batch of episodes when they dropped, just a couple of hours. I stayed up until midnight so I could watch them as soon as possible and I binged them the second that they dropped. (I already read the manga, so I knew what to expect, but I was very excited to see it adapted into anime. Especially the last batch of episodes)

I finished 86 at around I think 3 days? If I rewatch it now, I could probably binge-watch it within a day.
I can't watch an entire show by itself within a days time personally, (maybe when I first started). But I have heard good things about 86

Sorry to butt in, there are alternative views on 86:
- Instead of actually serious show it's practically a "cry porn", just for the sake of it.
- Its messages make sense, but they are quite superficial. Like screaming "Racism is bad" at everybody's face, but not actually doing much in political sense against it.
Some problems in the worlbuilding too:
- Racism or not the way how the war efforts are organized is nonsensical if those guys actually want to win.
- The circumstances who led to said war are quite weird too.
- The MC is never prosecuted for her ant-racism propaganda by the supposedly authoritarian government she speaks against.

On the first watch, if it's a 12 episode anime, probably like two days. I definitely binge watch shows if I like them.
On the second to infinite watch, it'd be 4-6 days, or 2 weeks.

Hunter x Hunter took me like a month or two the first time I watched it probably?

around two months to finish a 50 episode series, so i watched like 1 episode a day, reason being that its my favourite so i wanted to slowly consume it and stay relieved to think that i still have more of it left in the coming future. sad that it finished, and also sad that it hadnt gotten a new season for over 5 years

I finished Hunter x Hunter (148 eps) in 48 days...it was in the middle of college entrance exams too. Curse my horrible self-control, wouldn't have started it then if I knew I would like it so much. My other two 10s, Haikyuu (25 eps) and Chihayafuru (24 eps), took me 2 days (rewatch) and 5 days, respectively. I usually like to binge-watch shows so most of my 8-9s probably took under 5 days for me to finish too. Unless it was airing at the time, in which case I'd watched it weekly on the day the episodes came out.

A long series being one of your favorites sounds really nice. Gintama is the only show I have like that, if you had to estimate, how many times do you think you rewatched it?


I've made once "calculations" just assumption on how many times I've seen Bleach it was made for fun so the margin of mistake is huge just in case. [In addition to this: Project Senpai stopped posting due to copystrikes, BrianxStephanie's and Awaken stays as it was and I know about 3-4+ more youtube reactors for which I might go later when I'd go bored and wouldn't find anything to watch]

My fav: Bleach - 16 times whole rewatch. Canon arcs over 20-40 times. Seen around 10+ reaction series in Youtube
Bleach TYBW - One watch, over 20 reaction youtube, few analyses + was reading Manga at college during lectures, when it was airing so I was fresh with what is gonna to happen + analyses of Flame of Rebirth youtube + his discord discussions and debates about the episodes.
Bleach TYBW Seperation - Same as with Part 1, but it will be in summer of this year.
Movie 1 of Bleach - One watch, 5+ Reactions youtube
Movie 2 of Bleach - One watch, 1-2 reactions
Movie 3 of Bleach - One watch, 1-2 reactions
Movie 4 of Bleach - One watch, 5+ reactions
Bleach Ova - 2 watches, 1-3+ reactions
Cyberpunk Edgerunners - One watch [JP], One watch [PL Dub], 10+ reactions
Ace of Diamond - One watch, Ayola xzone reactions.

Around 1/3 of my whole episode counts are just Bleach rewatches
16x366 = 5856 episodes. Considering that I've watched again for the same amount of Canon episodes [very possible tbh that I've seen them that much as in Primary School/Middle School when I was bored and had nothing to watch while eating I was repeating the Soul Society arc or Hueco Mundo arc etc.] -> 166 [I am counting here also 342 and 343 episodes as they are mixed canon] x 16 = 2656
Reactions are not counted in Mal but in that case -> 26560 "episodes" [For those who might not believe that I found around 10 reactions: Heisuten -> He was recording with Rice till Arrancar arc than later separated [Rice Reacts past nick was Lil Chinq], Dee Bee Geek Sama DBG has deleted already due to copystrikes, JamiUwu [SuperMechaFrieza], Rice Reacts, Struckbybelz, Neel Desai, According to Lucky, Black Genie, Helwa, Kejsi] -> 35072 episode counts when it comes only to Bleach Season 1 watches x)
If we would count Reaction watches in Mal than most likely around 90-95% of my whole episode count including Reactions on Youtube it would be only Bleach


Now for the neat part, if I'll take all my Reactions watches from Youtube, Rewatches of Sub-Arcs, Rewatches of Whole Bleach etc. which are 35072 "episodes" and if I will divide it through all 366 episodes including Fillers here:
35072/366= 95,825.

I've almost "seen" whole Bleach 96 times.

+ I am in process of watching 3 another Reactions -> Brian x Stephanie [Began Soul Society Arc], Awake Productions [She is in the same pace as BrianSteph] and Project Senpai [Soon they'll begin Hueco Mundo arc]. so I am not done with Bleach yet. Later maybe I'll force myself to watch The Normies who watches Bleach with English Dub.

That's not even a joke.

It took me a week to watch all of Monster. Every episode was so captivating that I couldn't stop watching.

FMAB and Attack on Titan took like 1-2 weeks. Shinsekai Yori took 2 days and LoGH took almost 6 months mainly because I was watching it during a busy period of my life and it's kinda dense so I preferred to take it slow.
