| Ive been going at it for about a year now, completed 120 series and was enjoying it until a couple days ago. While anime is still good and interesting, i have this feeling where i cant be bothered sitting it out and finishing the series. I feel like doing something else all the time. I get the same feeling as when im doing homework. So how about you? |
| Needs more Drill Hair. |
| you get the same feeling watching anime as doing homework then? u poor poor thing. |
| Maybe its because you're watching it lie its a chore or something. Just watch whatever you want and if its boring move on to something else |
 Don't recommend me something that is still publishing, unless its close to being finished. Don't recommend me anything that isn't licensed. |
| It happens; I usually just take a few months break. |

| Anime >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Homework That said im also kinda not interested. I dont think im bored of anime more likely i dont have motivation to watch new shows that is. The reason is since i watched most of the best anime around i find other mediciocre ones boring... |
 |
| currently i dont have the motivation like u say, to finish haruka no himitsu and vampire knight, i got myself to finish samurai shamploo and minami ke lately but i didnt get that good feeling of finishing an anime like i used to. of course in spite of all this it could be that i havnt got enough sleep and im fairly deprived. |

| I think a lot of people should give older anime a try, either that or just stop watching altogether if its boring to you. |
LaiLidE said: currently i dont have the motivation like u say, to finish haruka no himitsu and vampire knight You know, I don't believe anyone could not get bored while watching stuff like Nogizaka or Vampire Knight. So it's perfectly normal. Just watch better shows. |
| Are you watching anime you enjoy? I know it kills me to watch anime I don't like. I'd sooner drop an anime halfway through than force myself to continue if I didn't enjoy it. |
 |
| As others have said, give it a break for a while. Come back in a month or two (or six) and give it a fresh start. Burnout can happen in any hobby. You just have to find something else to do. I've been a bit burnt out lately, barely watched a few dozen episodes in the past month, but I've been filling my spare time with gaming, TV and other stuff. Quite a bit of regular TV and movies actually. 120 series in a year is over two series a week, which is quite an intense regime. Give it a break, catch up on sleep, kill time doing other stuff, then just get back to anime again in the future. You'll be better off for it. I speak from experience as i go through phases where I can watch a great deal, then periods where I barely watch anything; that's how I've managed for so long. Too much can certainly be a bad thing. |
| Just watch Anime that suits you or your style. If you watch an Anime that doesn't suit you, then it'll be boring for you. |
| Hmmm.... well if you don't mind me asking a couple of questions LaiLidE: 1) Do you usually watch the same types of genres in anime? And if so, what are those genres? 2) Do you see the same pattern in a majority of animes you watch? Like you see the same types of jokes, the same types of characters, or the same type of general plots SOO many times, that it seems repetitive? 3) Do you see the scenarios where you wonder why this happens in "that" anime and yet you can never find a definitive answer? |
| You really have to take a break. This happened to me many times, but I still kept watching. I do not recommend that, so yeah, take a break. |
 |
| You must be stressed out or something try watching some porn to calm you down. T_T Edit: Just finished myself, now I can watch anime XD |

| When I start to watch anime I don't get bored. It's just getting started is the hard part since I've been lazy to start the download lately. |
| It happens to me sometimes too. I get bored and can't watch anything. Just take a little break and you'll get motivated again. You can try new things in the meantime, like playing visual novels for instance. That's what I usually do when I take an anime break. |
| Like most things in life, we can get tired of them from time to time. Perhaps it's just overkill for you? Maybe if you took a break from anime for a while, you would appreciate it more when you came back to it. :) |
| No problemo I also watch House MD and Startrek, good for variation :-) |

| Try watching some other shows you do like? |
| My motivation to watch anime has been dragging lately too. Once school starts I'm pretty much going to have no time to watch, especially the summer shows that I'm way behind on. I've also started to get back into video games too, but since I've already spent so much money on anime I'll probably be watching for a long time so I still have years to finish the stuff I want to see. |

| Same here. Of course, last time that happened I stopped watching anime for two years. |

| I haven't watched anime in 5 months. Mostly out of laziness and I'm just a little bored of it as well. Manga is still interesting though. |
| sad |
| I've taken a pretty long break from anime, just started again this summer. Mainly because as stated earlier ; it can get rather tiring to watch too much. |
 |
| Pretty weird i can't take even a day break from anime. |

rTz said: Same here. Of course, last time that happened I stopped watching anime for two years. This is what happened for me too. Until last winter, I hadn't been watching anime for almost three years. I too seem to be slowing in my viewings, however there a number of series I am simply waiting to run their TV course before I get down to watching them. I think it's a come and go hobby, for me. Not a constant, like painting and reading. |

| It lost a lot of it's charm after I finished LoGH. But there's still some old classics around, and even some good new series airing, so there's always something to fall back to. |
| I got bored of anime quite a long time ago. I think it might just be that I was never that into it. It's cool and all, but you can only watch so much. I watch like maybe a few episodes a week nowadays. |

| all the time. it's why it's taken me almost 10 years to watch 97 series. for people to have watched four or five times that amount in just a couple of years blows my mind. i usually get fed up of watching something after just a few episodes and have to take a break for a while. |

| Nope and neva ( i hope) lolz but dam only a year?? O.o |
Shame on u !! |
 |
| sometimes i do get a bit bored also. But only happens every now and then. |
| I get bored sometimes too, but after a one-two months of break (filled with gaming/books) I feel like watching something again^^ |
| Yeah, this was recently my problem, too. I found myself more and more bored as I continued to watch things so I stopped. Well, 3 weeks was my limit. Haha, just try taking a break. And you'll realize how much you miss it & how awesome it is. My advice, pick a kickass series to watch, too. |

| Watched Haruhi S2 and my love for anime has rekindled. Endless Eight is not that bad. |
 |
| Have same problem when watching anime with 50-60+ episodes. If I am bored by it, I usually stop watching it and begin to watch other not so long anime with 12-24 series. After this, I am again ready to watch that long anime. =) |
    |
| Yeah; I've been pretty much bored of anime and manga for about a year now. XD It's why I'm just now starting to use MAL again. I guess I've just gotten more picky. |

| |
| Sometimes it just takes a push to watch anime/read manga. I usually find myself watching more anime than I should before homework and tests lol.. not a good thing to do. Or a good friend could recommend you something like this: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yotsuba/c001/ |
 |
| @canephalanx: Totally. That's how I was when I was a little kid and watching anime; now that I've gotten much older, I've become so picky that I might as well not watch anything, ha ha. |

| it happens sometimes but then you get back in the mood a few days later |
 |
| Yeah, i've had this a few times.Took a break , watch 1 or 2 of the series i was keeping up on when ever it came out during the week, And just did something else with my freetime Play more video games, go fishing more and such. Then i decided to take a break from those and check out an anime i didn't watch yet, and poof.... Just feels like a roller coaster at times to me. |
 |
| I can't find anything I like anymore, so I rarely watch anything. Used to watch like 7-10 episodes a day. |
