Low right now. I was watching 3-4 seasonals during summer but right now I haven't even finished watching the last couple of eps that I'm missing from those shows and I don't really feel like doing it either.

Low. 2 - 4 episodes a week. I feel like the past several years the anime seasons in general is in a mid-low stage, unlike in 2011 - 2014 (which personally i think is the golden years of anime in 2010s).

The last good season I think was probably Winter 2019.

On a low and probably the end of it all.

I have been watching lots of shows this year, not from this year but in general. I feel like nothing can bring me the enjoyment I used to have when consuming anime and that I have reached a point where I should give it up. Have also been re-watching anime from the past that I used to like. New stuff just ain't appealing as it used to be.

Last time I used to watch anime daily was like 4 years ago, now I am lucky even finishing an episode every two weeks or such.

I started seriously watching this year, so this year is my high. I guess I'm starting to slow down because of school though, but I won't stop regularly watching anytime soon.

Happens all the time. For the past two months I was at a low because I worked a lot and also got addicted to a gacha game at the same time and thus didn't feel like watching much anime. Watching a bit more right now but I wouldn't call it a high.

THE DUALITY OF CHAT

Looking through responses, so many people have been on an anime low all year. On the other hand, they are still browsing MAL so that means interest hasn't disappeared completely. Personally, I've completely phased out of anime and spent more time on manga. Occasionally watching shows with friends is fun, but manga is my avenue when seeking a story.

I'm at a mid...if I'm allowed to say that. Like, 5-6 episodes is a "medium" level of episodes for me. My highs would be 10+ episodes a day (like when I was trying to binge ZZ Gundam). My lows are like 1-3 episodes a day, when I'm just too fuckin' beat.

I try to moderate my anime intake, so even my "highs" are about 4 a day. When I was unemployed, that was a long anime high.

New job = less time for anime. Though ironically, I bought Bakemonogatari to celebrate so I'm still (re)watching a fair amount. That said, the sensation I'm having is that if it wasn't a show I was really into, I'd probably not be watching anything right now.

Everyone does lmao, just got out of my low recently since my friend started watching anime and that hyped me up since I have an irl i can talk to about with my fav series.

I've finished like 5 anime in about less than 2 months, it's been years since I watched anime (I only read manga for like 3 years). I even picked up a couple of shows I dropped a long time ago.

Definitely on a low. I was bawling my eyes out last night. I was questioning if I should still continue watching. The reason is because two of the characters died, TWO. I'll still watch it though because I like making bad decisions.

My highs and lows would probably look like a seismograph if I were to draw it out. I'm on a high right now, watching around 4-5 eps a day, though I can (and will) easily revert back to a low.

definitely. i had a massive low a few years ago where nothing was really entertaining me as much as it had used to, but then i got back on it more recently. now, i'm on a bit of a low, because i recently finished hunter x hunter and nothing is quite as good by comparison anymore XD

Low to none, I watch Japanese animation/cartoons based of directors or whether it looks interesting to me or not. Not solely because it is an "anime" anymore, it's quite shallow when you think about it.

It's also quite sad how Korean animation is basically left in the dust due to anime.

Yes I do. In the past months I have watched on average 12 episodes a day and in the past few weeks it decreased to 6 episodes a day. Mainly because of recently entertaining games released.

At a SUPER HIGH right now, keeping up with about 8 seasonals, also watching about 10-18 episodes too.

I was rushing desperately, trying to reach the light. When I thought I did, I reached a dead end instead. Then I decided I wanted to enter that light. And at the edge of it, I found you.

Highs during the summer and winter breaks when I have more free time, lows during the semester when I have so many commitments to juggle that it's difficult just trying to keep up with a few seasonals. Though a high can instantly turn into a low for several weeks if I complete an anime that hits me in the feels.

My anime progress has been pretty steady for over a year which means 4-7 episodes per day.

Honestly, for me that's the perfect amount of anime.

I'm at the low stage
I just feel bored whenever I start an episode of the anime I'm currently watching even though I was very excited when I started and binged them in the beginning. There's no way I'm starting any new anime shows without finishing some of the ones I'm currently watching. I'm at the stage where I might not touch an anime episode for weeks or months, but am binging Americans series on Netflix like I've got all the time in the world.

I think I have three stages. Either I binge:
K-dramas
Netflix shows or other American shows
or Anime (no in-between)
