| I go through a great series, im hooked! Then after i go to sleep after around 10 episodes, im bored of it the next day and i struggle to go back to anime - this has happened to like the past 5 anime ive watched. And for each one, i have been interested, just after an amount of time i cant watch any more and end up having a break for around a month. But during this time.. i really want to finish it, but while i also think i dont want to. This is torture.. ;c |
| maybe try different genres? a change of pace is great. |
 |
| Yeah, watching several anime concurrently (is this the right word?) might be the answer. Otherwise, just force yourself to watch that anime the next day. It usually works for me, and after a few minutes I'm interested in it again. |
Salokannel2 said: maybe try different genres? a change of pace is great. Thats what i try to do. I usually go on a cycle of more action filled and eventful anime, to chilled back ones. I always try different types (while avoiding sports and mechs.) |
| I experience that everyday. Its annoying |
| turn around walk away never look back you won't be missed |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
Woah, why so mean? I still want to watch anime, its just that i struggle to continue watching anime without having big breaks in the middle. Why you say i wont be missed? I cri ;c people on this website seem so meannnnn |

| I recommend not thinking about whether or not you feel like watching right now so much and instead just start watching and decide afterwards. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| When I get bored of watching chinese cartoons I just lurk forums where people argue over chinese cartoons for a while, if it doesn't work there's a thing called outside, always reminds me how reality is scary and I'd much rather watch chinese cartoons |

If you guys want to pamper every teenager with a mundane dilemma, so be it. |

| I hope I can be like OP.. Want to stop watching anime but.. This addiction is too strong..!! This is torture.. ;c |

I was asking for a thread like "board rules", except instead of rules it would have a list of popular questions and appropriate answers for them. 1) If the answer was obvious, the OP would not have asked the question, right? You must be very young if you assume everybody shares your competence. And if the answer is really obvious, it should be easy to write it into a FAQ, right? 2) Politeness is useful.

There are better things to do in life" is a lot more likely to be followed. |

| Just don't marathon series. Split it up so it doesn't get you burnt out. Besides there are plenty of other things to do. Or you could watch something that isn't anime.

If you guys want to pamper every teenager with a mundane dilemma, so be it. I agree, being blunt and frank is good. But, being as jaded as you seem, wouldn't it be better to just ignore such threads and let them die as quickly as possible? I think you're easily one of the better posters on this forum right now and I'd rather not see you turn into a shitposter. |

| mood changes only affect when i watch finished anime and how long it takes me to finish it. sometimes its less than a day, sometimes i break it up into a week or 2 but as far as airing shows go i just tend to watch them as soon as possible the day they're out, so ill "watch anime everyday" as long as there's a new episode of an airing show im watching out but i NEVER feel the need to "take a break" anymore, i only did that when i was still too afraid to let people know i was this into it, and i was taking more classes at a time i just enjoy anime way too much and i can't ever get bored of it |

| That happens to me too. Quite a bit actually I think the most recent time was when I finished K-On. It took me 2 days to fully go back to anime after finishing that anime. It usually happens to me after I finish an anime I think is really good or an anime I didn't fully enjoy and get turned off from watching anime altogether. It's usually the former though. Today was also a day when I felt more like coding and photoshopping than watching anime. |
| Well, I can definitely relate as this is happening to me at the moment. Can't really put my tongue on it, but I guess the best way to put it is that it's a stage where you're growing out of Anime. Believe it or not, after being so excited for Anime Expo and finally going to it, my taste and interest for Anime significantly decrease and ever since then I haven't watched Anime as I used to. Binge watching Anime used to be cake, however nowadays it seems like one episode takes a day to watch. >_< |

| Happens to me all the time. I've got so many anime downloaded in my PC but rarely get myself to watch them. Also , time is an important factor |
 |
Im not bored of it, i absolutely love anime, its just times when i find it hard to get back into watching the shows. |
| Have a similar problem. My problem is that every time I think I'm done with anime completely something else that looks interesting to me pops up. Then once I get started I can't bring myself to drop something even if I loose interest in it. |
| I think a big part of the issue is that doing other things - ESPECIALLY randomly derping around on the internet - is much easier than meaningfully engaging with fiction. This goes for books, films, etc. as well as anime. So we become hesitant to start watching something because we're being lazy and it would be easier to veg. TV has a reputation for requiring little brain-power, but the simple act of following a plot and engaging with characters and themes is rocket science compared to the literal braindrain of unfocused internet browsing. Not sure if any of this really applies to you OP, but generally that's what's often the reason I randomly don't feel like watching more of a show, even one I really like. Case in point, I'm posting on this thread rather than watching Planetes which is a fantastic show. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go do that, enough screwing around. |

| I usually feel like shit after watching that much anime all at once. If you space it out over the course of the day then it's more manageable. Watching fewer episodes every day could also be a good idea. Watching both a slice of life anime and an action anime at the same time could cover your bases and help you to not get bored of watching the same thing. |

| lol, I'm going through the same thing right now. I'm watching Jojo and K-On at the same time and I'm like "Broooo these two anime are like polar opposites of each other lmfao. Moe vs. GAR, awwww yassss." I don't know what to do with my life anymore. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| How about try to read some mangas? Or LNs |
