Have you ever gone to the phase where you don't have any motivation to watch/read an anime?

Yes. I stopped watching from 2014-2018 iirc. College really took anime out of me. I mean watch youtube clips but not any full show, even 1 cour shows. I slowly came back 2019 and until now. Honestly work from home setup really helped.

It happens from time to time. Finding an interesting show usually helps to get out of the slump.

Yea. I did that a lot, watch some shows, stop watching them for months, and then pick it back up. I wish to end this cycle.

No, I haven't, but at some point I'm forced to stop because I'm running out of good anime sooner or later. I can't binge forever.

Yes happens all the time. In fact I'm in such a phase right now.

Yeah, twice... but I always came back. Still going strong. I think that if someone didn't had that phase it's because they haven't been around that much.

Never. In fact, I'm watching more than before.

Tbh its very normal to happen and happened a lot with me so
now when i watch anime i actually watch 10-15 series and
i keep them 2-5 episodes a day and i don't watch from one series
so it keeps fresh for me.

For reading manga i do the same 8-12 chapters from 3-5
different manga series.
2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year.

Yes, I think it has lasted since maybe 2015 and I don't think there will be a return to the glory days. I might occasionally watch/read something but it's not more than maybe one or two series a year. The only thing I do is play VNs pretty much.

Yeah, during 2015 when I first saw Evangelion. It was so bad it got me to quit anime for 3 months but then I watched JoJo and got back into anime again.

I go through this phase at least once in every month... Most of the time it lasts for 3/4 days... But sometimes it lasts for more than 2 weeks... I think the longest time I took break was about one and half month or more... After that break, I've started watching "One Piece" and finished more than 600 episodes within 20 days...

Not really, since I just watch whenever I want to.


In this world shrouded in darkness, I learned there was someone who’d been struggling along with me. That alone is enough.

Not atm, not with anime at least, and I don't see it happening any time soon, I'm pretty satisfied with anime atm.
