the only thing that can keeping me up for that long is playing CK2. my longest watching spree is like 10 hours, more or less. im not capable anymore to watch something that long, it hurts my eyes.

good luck for OP though, make sure to enjoying it to the fullest.


Thanks, ya my eyes are starting to buzz a bit, but its manageble haha

What exactly is the point of this?

A challenge usually entails something difficult or impressive. I suppose watching something for 24 hours may be difficult, but I feel like it is severely underscored by how unimpressive it is.

Why would you be excited to surrender 24 hours of your own time, especially when it is certain to amount to being very uncomfortable?

Man, I don't know what you're watching, you should have totally went thematic and watched series in a similar vein.. Maybe like existential shit such as GITS, Tex, Lain etc, that'd be interesting :0

Good luck.
It's always fun to take on challenges. I guess you are really bored huh?

Make sure you don't push yourself too much. Doesn't matter even if you failed. Atleast you tried. :)

Btw what are you watching?

Well like I was saying earlier, I have nothing to gain from it really. It's just simply a challenge to see if I can do it or not I suppose haha. It may seem silly but the fact that I can go on knowing I did it at least once in my life is comforting. Who knows what the future holds but no matter what happens I can alway look back and think to myself at one point I was able to dunk a basketball, play bass almost as much as i wanted and was able to complete a silly 24 hour anime challenge haha

This will be my third attempt. I'm only doing this as a challenge not for overall viewing experience. The anime I'm watching aren't that important to me and are typically slice of life shows with a handful of older movies thrown in. Thoughts?


Oi mate, you can definitely do it. But I'd have picked shows that I was really excited about watching, I feel like the boredom level + chance of deciding to quit partway through will be higher if you're watching shows that you're less interested in. I'm a bit of a mental masochist but damn lol 24 hours of watching something that I'm not really into? Idk if I could do it. a 12-13 ep that I'm not into? No problem. But that's about 70+ haha

My all time best was 70 episodes of Naruto: Shippuden in a 24-hour period. But that's also a show I love and adore, and Naruto is my Lord & Savior (as you can tell from my profile) haha.

I saved some stuff for the end that im interested in. For me personally watching things im not as into is less work on my brain. I've got 7 hours and 14 min left haha.

Damn, Man. Good luck. It's quite the accomplishment if you do. How many episodes and films will that rack up to?

God I wish I was still a kid with no priorities or work. I would love to go for a whole day binge watch. I think the most I've ever been able to do now is a whole 12 epsiode season about... Once. As a kid I managed to watch the entire first season of Prison Break in one sitting XD

But that literally means nothing. Why not pick an actual challenge or at least something that will benefit you. Like, pick a challenge to walk 50km in one day, or to read a book in a week. At least something of value to yourself.

Torturing yourself for a meaningless achievement is just dumb. I'd understand if you had monetary incentive, but you don't.

Shouldn't accomplishments mean something? Be worth something? If you accomplish something, other people should want to do it as well. I can hardly see someone having the desire to follow in your footsteps for the same reasons.

Man, I don't think I have the willpower to watch that much of anything. The last time I spent 24 hours awake was when I was a bored college student. I watched both seasons of Sora no Otoshimono then tried to watch some other show but couldn't focus on the subtitles.
