| Not normal on you, it's kinda rare even when u have watched tons of series and have some years into anime, I think you just don't enjoy anime |
| Well I never really get burned out because I migrate between different mediums... It's good to get a taste for everything... So you never get bored of anything because it's always different... |
| Yes it's natural, it's called law of demand; the more you consume of something in a given period of time, the less value you extract from the marginal consumption of that something. The solution is pretty straight: reduce your rate of consumption, up to the point where you'll never get this feeling of completely losing interest in watching it. |
| Most of what you've watched is pretty similar so bound to get boring after a while. Try going out of your comfort zone and watching some different genres to mix it up a bit. |
| >burnout cuz i have watched like 21 anime LOL...sorry But yeah it's natural. Take a break or watch some great old stuff. |
| Pretty much what everyone else has said; time to switch it up and step out of your comfort zone. You can't watch the same thing all the time and not expect to get at least a little tired of it. Not binging everything might help too. Those cliffhangers will keep you coming back the next time. Do what i do, and many others i'm assuming. I like to randomly skip around the recommendations and add anything to my plan to watch that i find even remotely interesting. |
| What's your rush now? Everyone will have his day to die. |
kaneki112 said: maybe i just should take a long break and do some other hobbies in the mean time. probably learn japanese ;) Learning japanese is a good idea as it can boost your enjoyment in watching anime significantly. Anyway, my advice is, find out what exactly things that you enjoy in an anime. It could be that you're a picky anime watcher unknowingly and so you can't enjoy just any anime. It has to be "this kind" of anime. So, I think you should find out what exactly you're looking for in anime. I see you like Mirai Nikki, so maybe you like yandere, battle royale, action. Maybe you could try Juuni Taisen? or any yandere + action anime? Try to understand your anime preferences better ;D |

| Like everyone else has said try something out of your confort zone. If you only watch battle shounen it's bound to get boring after a while. Try watching genres you haven't seen like drama or horror (Tokyo Ghoul apparently doesn't count) and see if you like them or watch some of the real old stuff like Akira or Hokuto no Ken. |

I always thought the main highlight of Mirai Nikki is the legendary yandere, Yuno, lol So, it's action packed battle royale then? Maybe Juuni Taisen would be your cup of tea. |

| Take a break dude. After taking a break I watched over 100 tv series in a year and probably more if ovas are included. |

 |

| After looking at your list I can see why you're burnt out, or at least feel that way. Just as everyone else said, go out of your comfort zone and watch something different than you normally would. Take a break and focus on something else. Sometimes I don't watch anything for a couple months and will get back into as if I hadn't left anime on the back burner at all. Another thing I noticed is that I watch 'top -insert title here- of anime', like best fantasy or sport anime. Which is actually would I would suggest for stepping out of the heavy battle and high action genre, maybe a sport anime to start off with as something different. |
 |
| This has never happened to me yet despite watching more than 400 anime. If you are feeling burned out, I suggest taking a break. Do something else like your other hobbies. |

| Well how did you get into the medium? Cause I feel most ppl who end up like this got into it through someone else |
   |
| Haven't happened to me for over 10 years now since I got into it in high school but I also don't watch so much I burn out I also do other things like playing games, read manga etc sometimes so not like it's the only thing I consume. I just get tired at certain genres sometimes instead, not really anime in general. |
 |
| NOT LIKING ANIME, HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBELE???!!! Actually, as an actual answer, maybe a change of pace would be nice, also maybe change the activities you do, or try new things, and then you can come back next season or after a while, and trust me by experience when I say that, but if you lower the quantity of things you watch, and then restart watching stuff, you only have more things to watch in the end! Hope this was helpful^v^ |
| Was sick of gaming ---> Boredom led me to try anime on a whim, despite having strong aversions ---> watched hundreds of anime ---> started enjoying gaming again ---> healthy 50/50 entertainment mix, can't see myself getting sick of any of the two again. That said, I've been less productive making music and tabletop/ CCG gaming have been basically mothballed as hobbies. TL;DR you need to balance more than 1 hobby. |
 |
| I remember a couple years back I stopped watching anime almost entirely. I didn't fully invest myself again until two years later. Basically what I'm getting at is you can take breaks from anime and still come back full force. During that time I had watched the same amount of series as you too (I think I was at 30-ish). And change your intensity every once in a while too. I binged about 50 series over the summer, but now that school's started I've only watched 15 shows in the same amount of time. |

| Burning out is a normal thing, happens to me too, I take a break by playing games. And it's easier to regain my drive by watching anime with friends. |
 |
| Get out now while you still have this chance! |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
Tencent__Weeb said: I don't want to say this, but watch a few Misty Chonexia video(that's what I did for a year) That dude is hella cringy, especially when he tries to vlog. But anyways take a break, I once decided to stop watching anime and told myself I would never watch any more again. I ended up not watching a single episode for 2 whole months, but I couldn't take it anymore and returned to watching anime. Now I just think back to all the anime I could have seen during those 2 months. |
