| I'm not sure why, but after watching a couple hundred it's getting harder to stick with something compared to when I first began anime. For example, I thoroughly enjoyed Prince of tennis, yet why did I stop at 80 episodes? It's the same thing with Hajime no Ippo and a couple of others. Is it just that my attention span has shortened or is this some effect from having watched too much? |
| I have to agree. After finishing gintama, trying to catch up on one piece is gonna take me a while but it also depends on how much you enjoy the anime. |
  |
| I could never watch more than 3 episodes at a stretch since god knows when. Then I watched Monster. After that, I've watched quite a number of anime but again couldn't find myself to marathon them. Then I watched LoGH. |

| I agree I've found that recently for me it's harder to finish any anime unless I can do so in one sitting. |
| I go through phases when it comes to marathoning. I can hardly marathon so I shitpost on MAL half the time, and then when I get banned, I start marathoning again. |
| yes, thats why i mostly watch short anime this days an exception is hunter x hunter 2011 |
| It got harder until it got limp easier again. Doing Ippo would never have been hard for me though, that show basically asks to be swallowed in one gulp. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The only time I can't marathon like I want to is during the school year because I feel discouraged from watching anime. It's a different story when summer vacation hits. |
 |
| Ive been on a set pattern for a while now. Im shocked i actually watched 40 eps of One Piece in one sitting, I could never do that now. |
 |
| Depends entirely upon the show, really. I guess I don't do it quite as often anymore, though. |

| I agree with others that it depends on the show. I am currently watching Hajime no Ippo, and I am going slower than I'd have expected for a long-runner. On the other hand, I started Magi and I've been more motivated to go through that faster. Another major reason for me is that I've watched pretty much all the shows I really wanted to view when starting anime. Although I still have some series I want to watch, the motivation is not as high as for the first few. |

| Marathons are a thing of the past for me now... |
| Yeah at first it was fine, but after a while you find yourself staring at the computer screen rather than watching the show. I try to gie mself a break after a few episodes; so I don't fry my brain out |
| ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... |
| I really think it just depends on the anime. If it's not really long and it keeps you interested all the way through, it can be pretty easy to marathon. However, if the anime has boring points in it, then it won't be so easy. |

| It's pretty easy for me to sit down and watch an anime in 1-2 days. 24 episode+ take me a little longer though. |
 |
| Not really..... Once I get completely immersed into an anime that I like, I just mindlessly marathon it until I'm done o_o; |
| No. The only difference is that I used to only watch one show at a time and marathon it in 1-3 days. Since the start of this spring season I've changed it and watch a bunch of shows instead of focusing on one. The same amount of episodes get watched. |
 |
| yes its gets harder, but now I have watched the best stuff already so the things I watch nowdays arent as appealing! |
| Munch munch, chomp chomp, gobble gobble, gulp. |
| Yes, and it's inevitable. As you watch more and more shows, you tend to become less impressed with newer ones, so it's much harder to marathon anime. |
 |
Ryukatsuka said: Yes, and it's inevitable. As you watch more and more shows, you tend to become less impressed with newer ones, so it's much harder to marathon anime. Yeah, pretty much. Also my standards get higher because I've been finding series I've really liked lately :> |
 |
| I marathoned lots of anime when i started watching. then I moved to manga, I learned that anime takes away precious time you can use to read manga |
 |
| Never really marathoned anime, I just stick to my schedule The only anime I marathoned was Angel beats, that shit was amazing |
| Raise it up, raise up the happiness. |
| Yes, I used to marathon 1 series per day when I first got into anime, now I barely watch 2-3 episodes per day (airing anime included). |
| I go through random phases where I'll marathon shows no problems. At other times, I just tend to watch an episode or 2 and take a break like right now. |
| Yeah, I can't watch more than 3 episodes at a time in one sitting now, but I used to be able to. |

Is it just that my attention span has shortened or is this some effect from having watched too much? Not exactly no, also it depends on my mood. Earlier today I was about to play League of Legends, but then I was just so tired thanks to the heat that I just signed on my playstation, went to the crunchyroll app and just had a marathon of one of my favorite animes, Ano Natsu De Matteru and watched it pretty much all day. The only time I find it hard to marathon an anime is when I'm physically unable to. Most of the anime I watch these days tend to be part of the season line up, so unless I'm behind 5 episodes, it's pretty hard to marathon a series that has yet to be completed. |
| Not necessarily, but I do find it harder to commit myself to one show. I often get side tracked as I want to see how other shows start out and go see their first episodes. |
 |
| yes, unless its madhouse |
 |
| I can't marathon worth shit. Longest marathon I did was 12 episodes and that was it. |
 |
| Its the same with me, it is good to know i am not the only one... i guess its because when we first really start its something new and fresh not to mention usually when you first really getting into anime you watch the best ones like code geass/ death note etc... watching great anime like those i marathon in 1 to 2 days. But after awhile you find yourself watching most of the hype stuff. I t may just be me but i only marathon great anime since it keeps my interest and keeps me on that wow factor |
| Be It 10 or 1000 Men, The End Result Will Be The Same.. |
| Yes indeed. Over time I've gotten increasingly bored of anime, and found it much harder to marathon them. Most of the time I just get distracted by other things, but on a rare occasion, if the anime keeps my interest for more than 3 episodes I may or may not marathon it depending on my mood. |
 |
| Not really. After 3 years watching anime I didn't reach the point were I get bored watching the ones with 100+ episodes. You were talking about Prince of tennis, I've finished watching it a couple of weeks ago, it took almost 2 weeks finishing it, including all the specials, movies, OVA's and of course New Prince of tennis and the specials. |
 |
| When I first started watching anime I was marathoning that crap for days, now its hard to watch a lot in one day or a week, so I don't get to watch much anymore. I just watch airing anime now and the occasional anime that i find good. |
| It depends on how long and entertaining the anime is. I usually watch two series at the same time in order to switch it up and not burn myself out. Yet, if I find the series interesting I'll marathon it without a problem. |
  |
| That's probably your brain informing you that you need to take a break or something. While this does happen from time to time, I'd rather not suffer the consequences of watching weekly. |
 |
| I've never been able to marathon anything. My attention span is shit. Some shows are easier to watch than others, though. For example, I've been stuck on the Impel Down arc for 4 years. |

| Back when I started watching anime I could watch 40-50 episodes on one go easily, but nowadays watching even 10 episodes takes a toll on me. At the moment, with so much other things to do, I haven't even been able to keep up with all my series this season. |
| I just marathoned Samurai Champloo. It's not too hard for me to marathon if I'm on break from school, but if I have classes coming up then I tend to watch anime in small intervals instead. |
 |
| Yeah, but I got used to it. I'm just marathoning 12-15 to 25 episode anime. |
 |
| Haven't even seen that many anime but I'm already starting slow down in terms of how many episodes I watch per day. |
| I don't know why, but I had a long period where I just could not get into mucchanime at all, letalone marathon. MAL has helped me get back into it. owever I'm not sure I could ever marathon. |
"Fuck this shit, fun things are fun!" |
| yeah .... i only stop when ineed to eat and sleep also when my back hurts |
| I started to get more picky, and only anime that I thought were really good made me marathon them, not just once. If the anime is boring it's kinda hard to do it though |
| Depends on what I'm watching. If I really like the show I can get to around 14 episodes before I have to stop for a few hours. I used to be to be able to get through 25 but life gets in the way now. |
| I guess though I usually associated it more with getting older. |
