Binge

Do you guys binge watch anime?

I've noticed some folks here wait for the season to end to watch all episodes at once. Due to streaming and Netflix, binging is probably becoming more popular.

Nope, I watch it weekly, even if it was released all at once (Jashin-chan S2) because it's comfier that way

It lets what happened really sink in and I think you get a better appreciation for the pacing of the story

>let me just sit for 5 hours and steamroll an entire series
>months later
>oh yeah I watched that, i can't remember a thing about it tho

literally worse than sleeping, you're wasting your time and stop absorbing any information after several hours

i think it's fine to watch about 3 episodes at once

I think I watched 30 episodes of hikaru no go in one day.
But in terms of series. I finished midori no hibi in 1 night

The only anime I enjoy binging is Lucky Star

The term is "marathoning," newfag. I generally do, I can't usually be assed to follow releases as they come out unless I really like the franchise. By the time next episode comes out I've tried a bunch of other stuff in between and don't necessarily feel like watching that series' new episode right then.

It's entertainment, user. I don't care if I remember it months later, I'm not being tested on it.

how can you even remember if it's good if you cant remember it?

>wait for the season to end to watch all episodes at once
I never do this. For one thing, if I were to do it then I'd end up never watching it because my backlog is too long. Also I'm impatient and would rather watch the episodes immediately, even if they only come out once a week. You also miss out on the fun of discussing it on Zig Forums every week as a new episode comes out.

It depends. If I'm watching currently airing shows I just watch weekly but if I'm picking up older shows I either watch it all in one day or in a few days depending on how I feel.

I don't often watch ongoing anime but not because I'm waiting for them to be complete. I don't think I generally binge though, unless I'm really enjoying an anime. Like I may watch half a cour in a single day (for instance I just watched the SoreMachi adaptation over the last couple of days like 1, 5, 6), which I don't really consider binging. I know a lot of people want to wait for a manga to be finished to read it but that sounds kind of painful to me. I do have ongoing manga I want to read but it's mostly because I don't want to be reading too many ongoing manga at once. But even despite that I sometimes pick up ongoing manga that sound interesting.

I can't watch a finished anime (or read a finished manga) on a weekly schedule but at the same time I don't watch 13+ episodes in a single sitting generally. I may if the series is 50+ episodes long though (more likely I'll watch 10 or less in a day even if I try for more), since series of those lengths feel infinite to me. With Heartcatch Precure (which is 49 episodes) I averaged 4-5 episodes per day, though I may not have watched it every single day.

Binge-watching shit just reveals pacing flaws that would have otherwise been hidden watching episodes weekly.

doing this makes you watch a shit-load of unmemorable seasonal garbage where the anime is just an excuse to post on Zig Forums and don't care how shitty it is

>doing this makes you watch a shit-load of unmemorable seasonal garbage
I do this anyway when I go through my backlog. I've watched over 1500 shows, so I'm not picky. If you watch enough rubbish you learn to find ways to enjoy it.

I mostly remember feelings rather than concrete facts and details

>It's entertainment, user. I don't care if I remember it months later, I'm not being tested on it.
Good for you, but I'd rather savor something rather than just keep shoving it into my brain. Not all anime is mindless entertainment. Sometimes you just want to take a moment to think about what you just watched. Sometimes a day or two, or maybe even more to digest it.

Serial plots work better for binging.
MotW style shows suffer from consuming too much too quick.

Like said, but also why would I care if I can remember if it's good? After enough time you forget that anyway, and/or your taste changes enough that you can't tell anymore.

>I'd rather savor something rather than just keep shoving it into my brain
I'm not saying I fucking force myself to watch the whole thing at once if I'm not enjoying doing that, obviously. But my goal is to enjoy myself while watching it, I don't really care about remembering it or "absorbing information".

Based snek friend.

Comedy/SoL shows are awful to binge. Something with a story is fine.

It's not about forcing yourself, I find 3 the max amount of episodes I can actually digest in a night and not just have it all blur together.

I think if you do that you're losing some level of enjoyment from the show

Fuck yeah, last episode is tomorrow, I'm gonna cry ;_;

Don't worry, I get it. Many shows are mindless and are very adequate for "marathoning", I am just pointing out that a few shows are just better to be watched calmly.

1, maybe 2 episodes per day. I used to binge watch but I can easily get "fed up" with a series while doing it and needed a break from it.

I tend to binge-watch CGDCT when I'm sick

>I know a lot of people want to wait for a manga to be finished to read it but that sounds kind of painful to me
I just read manga in chunks. Like, I can't usually be assed to follow every chapter of all the billion different manga as they come out, so it's more like I just catch up to what's released when I first pick it up, and then if I care enough to revisit it I do so a year or two or three later and read what's come out since then (and reread everything from the start if necessary). From what I've gathered on Zig Forums over the years, I think this is what most people following a large number of things do.

I binge most anime but I sometimes pick up some slice of life anime that is very light on story while it's still airing

I find if I watch too much anime in one sitting I get tired easily so not really

a fever-addled brain is excellent for withstanding the numbing of a CGDCT marathon

>binge watch something good
>enjoy the fuck out of it
>6 months later
>forgotten most of what happens
>can rewatch it and enjoy the fuck out of it again
>can do it again a year or two later
Who is enjoying it the most now?

What is "Time for other things to watch"?

You're like those bitches on tinder that just re-watch the office constantly, completely and utterly personalityless

Are you seriously trying to shit on someone for rewatching a series they enjoy?

At the behest of watching new stuff? Yeah, of course

>Binge
in my time we called marathoned

>At the behest
user.

I rewatch anime when I have nothing else to watch between seasons

Yup, I fucked up my wording there

I wait a month for each episode because my brain isn't good and I need to process the episodes.
Fuck off idiots.
Only retards wait to watch shows. If a show is so fucking shit you can't recall anything because you watched 12 episodes over a few days to a week then the show is shit or your brain is fucked.
I am too busy to work around a network schedule so fuck that. I also don't pretend conversations are better because we are forced to wait for each episode. Only children would work their life around a forum discussion on a specific day 10 minutes after an episode "airs".
If these kids feel so strong about not 'binging' a show, then they can wait a week or year in between each episode while us adults watch it when we want and have time.

I'm sure there are anime from the past that you haven't watch that you can watch instead of rewatching the same stuff over and over again.

Lol, tantrum harder kiddo. I bet you think just reading a text book is the same as studying

>guy mentions rewatching anime
>SO YOU JUST REWATCH THE SAME ANIME FOREVER AND DON'T TRY ANYTHING ELSE, WHAT A CASUAL
What.

It's hard to find old anime I want to watch when I've watched over 2500 anime

Binging after is nice because it makes slower paced shows much more bearable, while also having the benefit of having all the events of the show fresh in your mind.
Watching weekly can also be fun though, especially if you're discussing the show on Zig Forums as it airs. There's also the benefit of having more time to digest the content of the episode especially for shows with a lot going on in them. Also during college it was nice having about a new episode each day to watch after classes depending on what was airing each season, and I able to appreciate much of it more by having something to look forward to each day after the daily classes.
