Up until recently I've been starting to get bored of anime and I've been watching for about 15 years is there a way to solve this?

You could take a break and watch some of the excellent tv shows with real people that have come out in the past few years.

The only reason I started to watch anime was filler between seasons of real shows.

Take a break. Don't force yourself to watch anime if you don't feel like it.

Wrong board

Thats a good thing, don't become a degenerate weeb like myself whos seen over 2.7k anime. Take a break, read some books, watch some western T.V and movies. Hell watch some Japanese Cinema. Lots of great shit out there. Remember Sturgeons Law, 90% of everything is crap and you gotta dig deep to find that 10% that is worthwhile. Don't get hung up on chineze kartoonz fam.

I usually limit myself to 2 or 3 animes per season. On a weekly routine, I maybe watch 3 anime episodes per week. Stops me from being bored... so yeah that's my suggestion.

Take a hiatus. Usually lasts a few months for me until I get this sudden urge to watch again.

And we had a really good chat. Then I slit his throat and ripped his heart out through his chest.
Does that make me a bad person?"

I switched to manga and it's been like 2 years since I've seriously watched an anime. I don't know if this is a bad thing, but I don't mind it either. I only watch anime whenever I go to my friend's house. My friend pulls me down and makes me watch anime (thanks to her I'm watching Yuri on Ice).

I'm always a little confused when people say things like this since watching anime is such a broad hobby. You could just say watching tv and it'd be pretty much the same. You don't need to continually watch anime, just do something else until a show catches your interest enough to watch it.

Anime is different from all the tv shows. When you've been watching anime for a number of years and suddenly lose interest, you don't know what to do with yourself. You start to question everything, and it all becomes weird. Anime makes a big impact.

Anime isn't different, it's just that you value it differently. It's just stories told with animation.

I take back what I said about not understanding why people feel lost I guess. Anything can have personal value to someone. It just surprises me that so many say that with anime in general when it's such a broad thing.

I've been watching for the last ten years and my interest usually comes and goes in waves. So if your bored, take a break like other people have recommended. Watch or do something else.

Sometimes that happens to me too, and as other people have suggested, just take a break and it eventually comes back to you.
When I'm not watching anime, I end up reading books/manga or just have a browse on the net.

I guess you could take a break forra bit, maybe watch Yojimbo or other type of Japanese 60s movies, how about watching American movies like 'The Avengers' or 'Dr Strange'. You got a console or gaming PC? Play some games innit, like Battlefield 1 or play the new pokemon sun and moon on the 3ds. What about doing some drawing, with a hint of anime into your drawings? How about watching YouTube videos man. Hope these replies helps you out :D
