If I didn't have much interest in the show to begin with, but still curious about it then yes. I'll quit watching it and keep it in to watch later category. I have a few like that I completely forgot, or can't be bothered to keep watching in my watch list.

I paused too. Only because of the hype I saw on here did I start up again. And I fell hard. I binged like GOT season 1 style binge. Laughed, cried, you name it. Crazy thinking back about it.

I've done that with other shows. It's funny realizing I was halfway through a season and got distracted.

Yes, it has happened a few times. I started to watch a show and like 6 episodes in, something else came up in life and I forgot I was watching that anime, then I start another series, but later find that anime and don’t remember anything.

🤦🏻‍♂️😅😂
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

I usually do that with shonen anime. Needless to say, they have a history of being long, so it’s easy to get distracted by some new shiny thing and put the longer animes on hold for a while.
It'll all be okay in the end. If you're not okay, it's not the end.

Yes I’ve put stuff on hold if I’m watching a lot or just busy with life and I don’t have time to devote to a series but I want to come back to it

No, cause changing the MaL Button from "On Hold" to "Watching" isn't what actually makes me go watch something...

Life ia so busy that you forgot to put punctuations down properly, but still got time to create a purposeless thread on this God-forsaken shite.

It happens all the time for me, especially if it's a seasonal anime.

Yeah I’ve done that with shows that go on hiatus. Once they come back I’m usually watching too many other shows. I’ll eventually get to them.

Only with lengthier anime (30+ episodes) like some Jojo parts or Blood+, or with anime I was struggling to finish because they became disappointing after a certain point, like Shield Hero.

your acting like I'm hating on the show, I'm not, I m just asking if anyone forgot they were watching any show they were watching, but forgot they were watching, so who knew asking a question is pointless.

It's nothing personal, but people have brains to circulate thoughts before taking actions. Life must be that busy so that you even forgot you had one.

Frankly, I wait generally for the diffusion to end in order to watch the anime at my own pace afterwards. I find harder to follow the story with only one episode per week because you tend to forgot the details or events of older episodes.

This is effect is especially true for anime with many episodes.

It happened to me already quite a few times. I even put on hold shows I personally like, mainly because I had other things to do with life at the time, but I find it pretty hard to get back into it. I'm trying to break that habit though, because there are a lot great episodes I could have missed otherwise.
