I was thinking about how much time has passed since the release of season 1 and the arrival of this movie and I realize that being anime only is quite frustrating for all the waiting times there are, I mean after this movie is released how long will we have to wait for a 2nd season? And how long for a 3rd season? Unfortunately one thing I noticed is that you can't even fully enjoy anime because the waiting times are very hellish, 2 examples are Jujutsu Kaisen and demon slayer of which I recovered the manga because waiting every time for a new season was very tiring and I'm sorry because I know that I enjoyed them more as anime since I prefer anime to manga, another factor is that you can't live on the internet because most of the things of mainestream anime are spoiled relentlessly: Attack on titan is a clear example of this. So ultimately tell me you anime only how do you survive resisting the temptation to approach the manga ๐? |

the manga is worth reading, it builds better anticipation as well |

i just wait for the series that are like masterpiece level (in my opinion of older seasons or other works of the same author) like for example attack on Titan , chainsaw man , one punch man and watch series that are very famous and mainstream like jjk, demon slayer and manga is superior than anime if done right like berzerk will always be |

You are right I used to be a anime only and it was quite frustrating. I got so many spoilers from the internet. So I started reading mangas eventually. As for the waiting time I just watch something else in a mean time. |

I watch like 10 anime every season, plus some older finished anime. It's nice to shift focus and see what else is good, instead of being worried about the same thing. I did that with Naruto, start to end, I didn't watch anything else. After I started branching out and realized what I was missing, I'll never do it again. It's one of the reasons I won't start One Piece anytime soon. CSM, JJK, KNY will be milked out to the last drop by their studios, with movies, 3 part seasons, etc, etc |

For chainsaw man Iโd just read the manga, the movie has a chance to be a let down. |

Absolutely frustrating, social media has been spoiling the manga to no end to the point Iโm getting spoiled on things that I wouldnโt have known was a spoiler if I didnโt see an earlier spoiler in the manga |

I donโt mind, I have a lot of patience. Regular Books, Shows, Movies, donโt usually have anything in between the waits for the next one, so Iโm used to that kind of format. I donโt read the written material, so I donโt care about anything needing to be written in the meantime. I donโt generally get spoiler of the stories, nothing for this anime either, Iโm not really on social media. If I choose to be anime only, then I know the risks, Iโll accept that I can see spoiler here and there, but havenโt see the whole story, so Iโll watch the anime when it comes out anyways. And people are saying there is written material to read, so I really donโt understand your comment. |

For those of us who are old enough to remember the days before streaming and the instant gratification of modern society, it is rather easy. Most shows, live action or animated, have about a year in between seasons. This is normal and doesn't affect my enjoyment at all. The down time is nice for redeveloping hype for the next installment. Also not living on the internet trying risking exposure to any spoilers helps. |

@Cyberslasher Skill issue, I can avoid most spoilers. Only CSM manga spoiler I know is the Makima one and it doesn't bother me much. |

first time? anime adaptations takes years to even a decade just look at bleach anime for example and even one punch man so ye you better read the manga if you cannot wait |
Jan 3, 11:31 AM

The anime will come out when itโs ready, and me stressing about the wait doesnโt make it any faster. Essentially, weโll get there when we get there |
Jan 3, 11:53 AM

like others had said, i stave myself off with other franchises. there is simply way too much out there to hyperfixate on one series in particular i had a blast with CSM but i don't spend every waking moment thinking about it |

The most frustrating thing about being anime only is the spoilers. Some people can't seem to avoid spreading them as soon as new chapters come out. Having to wait is just part of the business. It would be better to get a season quickly, but things take time to make. I'm also always watching other stuff, so... |

Truth is: If you're a Manga-Reader feeling special, cause you know whats gonna happen, in the story, because you read ahead, having a powerfantasy Moment, in the Forums... Let me disillusion you - Nobody cares what you know. - We're not interested in you - Be a human beeing and don't spoil us, it's not our fault that you're lonely |

Thank heavens I'm alr a manga reader before the anime so props to past me for reading it first before getting spoiled a freak ton. But yeah, I can feel how anime only feels for me as an example being Sakamoto Days. So far, I haven't got spoiled even if it's just a bit like when the arc starts getting good which I'm fine of. |

Iโm so glad Iโm not into modern anime and manga, I feel for you people lol. Back in the day the average animation quality wasnโt as good, the adaptations mightโve been flawed, and there was a lot of filler, but at least we didnโt have to wait years for a batch of 12 new episodes. The modern anime fan has gotten used to the seasonal format. These days they want to make anime into this highly refined, internationally recognized product, and that comes with extremely high production values and wait times. I think itโs absurd that Demon slayer will end with a movie trilogy over half a decade after the manga is finished. Or chainsaw man part 1 ending approximately in 2027. Ridiculous. Imagine if they split FMA brotherhood into three seasons over a 6 year span. Almost unthinkable. |

Also not living on the internet trying risking exposure to any spoilers helps. Anime used to function differently, thatโs the thing. These days it goes by the seasonal format. Back in the day it would be a new episode every week until the end of the series for most shows. |

yes because anime only hasnโt seen the crazy shit thatโs about to unfold. this is the first anime that made me go check out the manga because 12 episodes barely scratched the surface of what chainsaw man is actually about |

not really, since if you get spoilers for post what the anime covered and it takes a year or two for the next season/movie, in my experience, it feels fresh and new |

Well, the only way that I can easily resist for further seasons is by simply not caring enough, I have other hobbies other than anime so I can easily resist. BUT I have recently (about two months ago) started reading my first ever manga (Itโs Kaiju n.8, yeah probably not my best first option) and this actually made me more willingly to start reading more mangas so I donโt have to wait for series that I actually care a lot about. Chainsaw man goes at the top of this list. I donโt know when, but I think Iโll start reading its manga. |

I am 100% for real. I am totally fine waiting for CSM content. I'm anime only for most things I watch. Sometimes I get lucky a the anime premieres at a decent place in the manga that I can just hop on board like say Dr. Stone, but CSM wasn't like that so CSM has stayed anime only |

I can either watch the anime or read the manga. I don't have time for both. Sometimes people are that busy in real life because they have lives outside of anime and manga. I can do chores while watching anime. I can't really do chores while reading manga. |

@wurmdog No, in the dropped anime I put all the anime that I rate negatively, not just the ones I drop and if they don't get above 6 on average then they are considered bad anime |

Being an anime only person seems like a very frustrating experience. I didnt read dandandan yet but i watched the anime, for example. I saw online that the anime covers just the initial 36 chapters i think, and the s2 anime will only come in july. Not only an anime only fan will have to wait, but when it comes, the anime will likely only adapt another 35 something chapters... while the manga is now at the chapter 182... now imagine the yearly wait for each season until the anime gets there and WHEN it gets there... the manga is ongoing, so now the anime adaptation is on hold and the wait will increase. Same applies to chainsaw man. Imagine how many years are gonna pass until you get to chapter 193 of the manga on the anime format? Seems like a frustrating edging session haha My advice is for you to create the habit of reading manga more, getting more used to it, beyond the ones you already read. Chainsaw man for example is a VERY quick read, not much dialogue and the chapters are short in format so even if you dont have an easier time with manga you may enjoy it still. If not, then yes, you will have to wait a lot |
