| I was watching Welcome to the NHK the other day and I stopped at the middle of the episode which indicates a commercial break. During this time, I got something to eat and was watching the rest of the episode within five minutes. Just curious if anyone has ever stopped watching during an episode or maybe even multiple times during an episode. |
 |
| I watch entire seasons at once all the way through without breaks, i was made for marathoning =) |
| Sig deleted for being too large. |
| I do it a lot as I'm easily distracted. |
 |
| Only when MAL distracts me. FUUUUU. D: |
| When you gotta pee, you've gotta pee. |
| Usually if I'm called to eat. If I don't eat when I'm called they will take out the food of the table and refuse to feed me. =( If the anime is very boring I will walk away to do things without even stopping. Important things, like going to the toilet or going to look at Gackt's poster. |

| If nature calls. |
| Yeah, quite a bit. Usually something comes to mind and I'll start browsing the internet for a few hours. |

Depends on what I'm watching of course, the less intriguing, the bigger the chance that I'll suddenly think of something I need to do and wander off. I think my record was five hours or something. I can't recall exactly what it was I was doing, or which series it was, but I imagine it must have been a rather trite one. |
| Yes. Usually for food. The same with manga, leaving half-read manga chapter open for hours, sometimes even days. My FireFox is always open aswell. |
| It completely depends on the anime. If it's mind-blowingly awesome, I'll hold all bodily functions and desires (food, sleep, bathroom breaks, ect.) until I've not only finished THAT episode, but a few ones after it. If it's extremely boring, I'll probably stop halfway through and just go take a nap, even if it's in the middle of the day. |
 |
| It happens when I'm distracted... pretty much all the time then. Sadly I have a short attention span. |
| depends of series, show's liek Sayonara senbotsu sensei are very random so you can actually stop the show and drink some juice or eat an apple lol |
| Depends on the anime/episode. If it's heavy on the plot or just awesome, I tend to watch the entire episode without any breaks. If not, I can stop in the middle of an episode for a bathroom break or if I have to eat something. Sometimes I usually start browsing the internet and chat too. I usually do this stuff in between episodes if I'm watching a good anime though. |
 |
| I usually try to finish an ep then write something on few different forums, check facebook and watch again. But I sometimes answer skype calls etc while in the middle of an episode. |
| No sig :( |
| Yes actually. I get too excited XD. Also hungry. |
| <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/angelfire892&sclick=1"> Being sane is over rated :) |
| Yeah i got this sometimes, - When hungry, thirsty and other things - When it's not interesting enough, i watch 1 episode in like an hour (10mins, 20mins other stuff, rest of it) |
 |
| I always watch anime while doing something else. So I don't look at the screen all the time (and no, I don't pause the show either). |
| In any hurrys i quit. |
 |
| Only if I need to: - Pee. - Eat. - Prevent the world from total destruction. - Erase some distraction such as: - Alien attack. - Demon trying to steal my milk. |
| Gotta love this xD: a few weeks ago i came home from a party at 4 am and i was really tired , but i decided to just watch one episode from KHR because i was curious about how the story continues... but i just fell asleep right in the middle :P so when i woke up my laptop was next to my bed , ( it had survided a fall from 70 cm xD) luckily nothing was damaged. it was really weird :P, wohoo ^^ |

| Usually when ~ Someone knocks at my door/comes in ~ I gotta sastify my texting addiction ~ Bathroom break ~ I have a sudden urge to listen to music instead ~ The anime is hella boring ~ The internet distracts me I eat when I watch anime in my room as I am a prisoner in my own home due to emotional abuse. No srsly. According to my Oma and Opa, I'm a failure in life because I chose college over finding a job. |
| Since I play most of my anime through the PS3, if things start getting a bit tedious I pause and go play a match of Modern Warfare 2. |
 |
| i do. sometimes for a long a time such as: -taking a shower -going to the store to buy some soda and chips and candy -surf the web -work out |
| not often but sometimes only when -need the bathroom since when its going to happen it will -need a new drink since the previous ran out -possible snack -parents talking to me or needing something from me |
 |
| Sometimes, if the episode is boring or dragging on, I do a lot and get distracted too easily: > listen to a song, which leads to listening to DDR, which leads to playing DDR for the next hour or two > to get a snack, then possibly just end up having breakfast/lunch/dinner > to play a video games > to stretch, then maybe do a full workout, then maybe a nap > bathroom break, then maybe a bath or shower Doesn't happen often though.. Probably once or twice? |
" ... carpenters fashion wood; wise people fashion themselves" - Buddhism |
| Only if I need to do something else or when it gets boring.. |
 |
| If the episode is boring I take frequent breaks, if it's an episode I like I still take breaks...check emails, facebook, eat, take a shower, do house work, go and work out, do something with friends etc...then I come back and watch it...sometimes can take me almost all day to watch 1 episode lol. |
 |
| I always pause my anime episodes and refresh my other pages to check for anything new. |
| Yes.. When new chapter of my fav manga is out When my mom's calling out When i'm hungry When i want to take a pee or something bigger When my fav TV shows is airing XD |
 |
| No, I watch the episode without breaks. If I take a break, then I would just forget what happened in the past few minutes in that episode, so I need to rewind it. I'm lazy when it comes to rewinding. |
| nup i make sure i dont need to do anything before i watch an ep |
 |
| when I decide to make a cup of coffee or get food... when my brother call me over to watch NBA top 10 plays of the week... when my brother call me over because he did a cool play while playing NBA2k10... When my parents arrive in the living room... When my brother complain cause he want to play internet game... because anime is downloaded thus I can watch anytime I want and his game is not... that's about it. |

| AIM + anime= takes me 1-2 hours to watch one episode. So yeaaaaaa. I take a break quite often. |
     |
| Normally, I don't, but I mutlitask depending on what I'm watching; I multitask better with a 4:3 series as it doesn't eat up my screen space (and I don't like fullscreening 4:3 shows on my 16:9 laptop). If somethings boring me, I'll pay more attention to something else than what I was watching, which usually leads me to just trying to understand the dialogue. |
| Yeah, especially if I watch them online. It's tiring to keep staring at the screen. |
| I rarely do this since knowing me if i stop at any part of the episode I might get distracted and not finish watching said episode. .___. But when it does happen it tends to go for 5-10min. |

Veronin said: Yeah, quite a bit. Usually something comes to mind and I'll start browsing the internet for a few hours. This. Omg xD It just pops up in my head, and I'll do a lot of other things, and after a while it's like: "Oh shoot! I was watching that!" xD |
| all the time. Sometimes I even watch part of an episode while eating breakfast, then go to class for 3 hours, and then come back and watch the rest. Of course it can be a problem if I forgot what was happening. |
| Only when the episode has to load up or if I'm watching 3 or 4 episodes at a time. |
 |
Jimbow said: Tachii said: When you gotta pee, you've gotta pee. |
| All the time. Whether it's to grab something to eat or the bathroom or sometimes I just grab something from my room. Sometimes 3-4 times an episode. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| I do it all the time since I get distracted. I think it took me about 8 hours to watch one episode once. |
| Often! At times The episode just doen't have my attention. Other times, I want to look up a reference. My latest thing is to find the external shot on google earth street veiw. The last Duradura epi, they had the big plaza in ikebukuro - found it. The anime version was identical to the actual location. with google street view, it's like standing right where the animator skeched it! |
