Another solution is to watch an anime from a genre you don't usually delve into.

When it happens to me, I search for a nice video game to vary a bit. That's what i'm doing right now with Dragon's Crown. No need to force yourself watching anime, or it gets annoying rather than entertaining.

When I'm not into watching anything for a longer time, I just force myself to watch episode or two - after that I'm usually in normal mood for anime again.

Its frustrating. Although i still like Anime/Manga more than everything else i have the feeling that ive been letting down and usually cant even complete one episode a day. I currently only read LN and Manga. Does anyone know how i can reignite the desire to watch Anime?


I agree with most people here. It happened to me too and taking a break is the best course of action in that situation. Just don't try to force yourself to finish a series if you can't get any enjoyment out of it because it never ends well. Take it as an opportunity to find other hobbies you might enjoy or simply to spend more time with your family/friends.

Or just watch something you already enjoyed alot, and after that you're probably hyped so you can watch anime again.. :)

What got me back into anime after a semi-long hiatus is broadening genres, which is probably kinda redundant for you. It can often be that one show, for me it was knk (though that got me more into the nasuverse more than anime in general but oh well). I also had a lot of fun this summer, watching a few eps of higurashi each night. A good example of horizon broadening because 2 years ago I wouldn't of touched it with a 10ft barge pole. Thinking about it, moving away from shounen was the best (even though I'm still in my mid teens)

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Eh maybe, it could work for OP but I have my doubts. If it's a real burnout, even rewatching your favorite show won't motivate you to continue watching anime. Imho, it's healthier to not force it.

I just take a 1-3 month break before re-watching some good one's to get me back into it.

Same is happening with me right now. I just flow with it. Don't really care all that much either, and it is a good time to let go of anime. HxH is finished, Stardust Crusaders finished s1, few more are done from last season so why the hell not. I am going to college anyway, there won't be any time for anime. And truth be told, 99% of today's anime is shit.

Just hang out with peepz or game for a while, thats what i always do when I need a break. also if you are watching material that isnt easily digestible and leaves you thinking a lot try watching some light hearted show to refresh your mind

Well it doesn't matter how you do it, if you get back into anime it is all good.

Haha thanks a lot for all these nice comments. I guess i phrased it kinda wrong. I really really like Anime and its still really frustrating , but i do other things besides Anime like making music, drawing and practicing martial arts. Although im not really sociable but thats not because of Anime. Its just that i spend most of the time i should sleep watching Anime. Thats why i manage to watch that much. I dont even play Video games since they distract me from my hobbys. But i´ll probably take a break for now (Although it has been already 4 weeks). After all ,i still enjoy Manga and LN really much. So i got that going for me.

Been hit with this before as well. After two straight years of going crazy on anime I hit a wall one summer where I just lost the urge thus I took about a 3 month break of anime. I watched tv and gamed or did other things to fill the time I used on anime. Then finally it all came back to me. A good ol break is probably your best course of action.

Agreed with everyone who said take a break. Its just like getting burned out on your favorite type of music. Happens to me, I just switch to a different type of music for a bit, and shortly I come back to my favorite. That's happened with games too.

Every1 had experienced this be4, so dont worry, its juzt simply a matter of repetitiveness, this is usually caused by havin 2 phuckin much free timez in ur lyfe right now.... Once in a while, u need 2 take a break from it. Do other things, like playin basketball or any kind of sports with ur friends/families or juzt hang out with em, or playin sum games ;). Or better, go find a part-time job, & if possible, use this as ur advantage 2 finding a new hobby ;).
best wishes.

Just take a break for a few days/weeks. And when you get back, start with a good anime.
I noticed you only watched the fifth movie of Kara no Kyoukai, but none of the other. Start with movie number one first and do it in order.

Take a break. Watch some western movies and Tv. Read a book. Take a walk.
Then, after some time has passed, find an anime that sounds genuinely great to you. Hopefully, it will be, and the flame will be re-ignited!
