| By “Stray away” I mean when you avoid anime/manga, either intentionally or unintentionally. It can be due to burnout, being busy in life, simply loosing interest, consuming other media etc. there can various reasons. I personally never really get burnout because i never watch such an overwhelming amount of anime at one time to make me feel that way. It’s either when I'm busy or consuming other stuff, specifically games as I hardly watch any live action media anymore. |
| An anime being too boring or not pertaining to my preference. |
| Nothing at the moment. I mean, if we are talking about anime in general, not a particular show. |

| I never burn out of the medium, but I do drop what bores me. Melodrama being the main culprit. |
 |
| Watching too much seasonal trash at once. |
| I tend to take breaks for my mental health or to pursue my other hobbies. Right now I have been focusing more on video games right now as Yakuza 0 consumes most of my free time. |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| Anime is never really worth watching for the plot anyways. Anyone watching it for the plot must not be very bright. |

| @DesuMaiden Tic tac , tic tac, you have only two months to make exactly 4306 post |

| When I'm either too busy or feeling too lazy to watch anime. |
 |
| All of the above, probably in combination. I was busy + losing interest as I was getting into another hobby, and eventually got burnt out that I finally stopped watching for a while. |
  |
| Not having the time to speed through lots of episodes/chapters in one go. |
 |
| The garbage community? Yea,, that. |
 |
| Yeah jus being busy is a big thing. Also sometimes I just lose interest as other forms of media, or other hobbies are more fun at that time. Burnout was prolyl a big reason in the past cuz I forced myself to watch shows I didn't like, also the fact it was basically my only hobby so overconsumption was a prtial reason as well. Nowadays I don't struggle with that too much so its more relaxing to watch anime. |
 |
| None is either too busy to work or playing Jrpgs. |
| I've took a few breaks from anime and MAL over the years my longest being 10 months, but I had a lot going on in my personal life so I was dealing with that instead of watching anime. Although the break was great, as when I returned I had loads of new anime to watch. |
| usually busy in life or when i am watching a good TV Show..sometimes when im in a reading spree as well..or maybe a movie marathon... in conclusion when im more into other thing..anime feels nice once in a while..i dont really care about it like i used to... live action TV has always been my bread & butter for entertainment and escapism although anime has made its way very deep in my life, i preferably feel smarter after a life action TV lmao obviously |
 |
| Once in a while, I'm not in the mood. It just happens. |
 |
| Usually when I have exams coming up or when I have full day in Uni and I don't have the energy to watch anime or have to put some time in studying. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| The length. I gravitate towards shorter stuff. |
 |
| Back when K_anime existed, my past bookmark list was in the hundreds of completed Anime? When you watch a lot of shows, you eventually realize it is okay to reduce Anime intake by a huge amount for various reasons or so? For Manga though, I do steer away from new stories that explore degrading plots. Like "just because you can draw it, does not mean you should." |
| I'm new! |
| If you're talking about stray away from all anime or manga, it would be because too busy with irl activities. |

| nothing really. it is pretty much all I watch |
| Too busy in real life, the record was 1.5 years, too occupied with the job. And I never really touched the anime/manga again until 2024 hit and try making this myanimelist acc. it's such a cycle for me. |

| @DesuMaiden Dude, watch more anime first or at least the good ones and only then comment xD |
| I don't know, probably because of seasonal garbage and forcing myself to watch popular anime just because they are popular and I want to be up to date xD |
