After watching a few series over the last few weeks, I feel like I messed up by not taking my time through each one which has left me with longing for more which will never happen. I know self control is there but with boredom it flies out the window. What's your opinion on binge watching an entire series?

Well, that was an obvious answer. I can't be the only one to get sucked into watching something though. This maybe my first post, but I thought it to be a valid question.

I don't see a single reason not to binge. If I feel like it - I will marathon.

I think it's fine. That is, if you're watching an anime with 12/13 episodes only. I've only finished series in one day when my internet feels like cooperating with me or there's some sort of cliffhanger and I get the urge I need to find out again and again.

I often tell myself "I'm already at episode x huh? I guess I'll watch the next one and stop there" at every episode.

This thread need the magic phrase "it depends"
Coz it depends what should I binge watch or not (episodics are not good to marathon but I do it anyway)
Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race

I don't understand why some people watch anime so aggressively. A lot of work goes into each title. Just take your time with it, and enjoy and appreciate it (if it's worth appreciating).

That, is the question.

I prefer not to, but when I do, I watch Tokusatsus.

It depends on what kind of show you are binge watching. I can easily do it with action or mindless fun anime while I have difficulties when it's slow slice-of-life or psychological thrillers.

I remember watching 30 episodes of One Piece in one day

I agree completely. This is one of things I feel that you would miss if you just throw yourself at the next episode. I will have to show more restraint in future for sure. I guess what it comes down to is the better the anime, slow the hell down. Take a break and reflect on what you just watched.

It's almost made for someone to do that, its not like you'll run out of episodes to watch.
