  In my opinion, 3-6 episodes of a show per day is better than bingeing 7+ episodes or even the entire season in one day.
  
  Watching 3 episodes is a lot better because from my experience, after watching 12 episodes in one day it's hard to remember things from the show, whereas stretching it out more helps you develop and enjoy the show more thoroughly.
  
  The show can easily become forgettable if you watch it super fast.
  
  It's like fine wine, the show grows on you when you let it sit for a bit.
  
  I'm also not saying NOT to binge 12-24 episode shows, I'm just expressing this idea of how a show might be more enjoyable when stretched out a bit further.
  
  That said, I do not enjoy as much watching shows only 1 episode per week as I think it's too much of a stretch in episodes (seasonal anime).
Mishti0107 5y
I agree with your logic
its hard for me to binge watch anime cos
1) I have no time to
2) I cant remember anything like you said
Ratchet231 5y
Binging for me is usually very case by case.

I enjoy binging certain types of shows and less so others. Slice of Life I cannot binge unless they're like romance heavy. Usually if I binge anything, it's action focused Shounen.
nonsama 5y
It depends on the person, of course. For me personally, I find watching 3-6 eps at a time is the most comfortable, but I can binge a season and still remember details from the show.
Creature247 5y
Yeah I agree, I find things that I've watched over a longer period of time (2-3) days per season, I enjoyed much more than when I've watched 36-40 episodes per day

Well, I usually have my time for watching something because it might affect my opinion on the show.

  I been on a binge watching spree for the past couple of weeks now, which explains why I have seen so many animes because every once in a while I go on a binge watching spree
  
  Like imagine yourself having an urge to binge watch a series or franchise and you want more of it or like it or just everything because you like watching anime while there be a shit ton to watch that will keep you occupied forever

  I have a problem. I've been watching multiple animes but getting bored halfwaythrough and skipping to a new one. Should I sit down and watch them one at a time or should I still skip around? I've seen 800 eps. of One Piece, 20 or so of FMAB, the first season of Jojo, rewatching the first 6 eps. of Parasyte, rewatching the first 10 eps. of Tokyo Ghoul, 362 eps. of Shippuden, 5 eps. of Gintama, just started Gurren Lagann 3 eps, just started Tanaka-Kun 1 ep., thinking of rewatching Noragami, and I'm starting Haikyu! right now. These are just the ones that I have started but haven't finished and how far I've gotten in each one. If I should stick to one please tell me which one I should stick to.
NOsleepSadge 5y
I normally binge all the episodes in 1 sitting or try to cause this happens to me a lot but i got better I think you should finish the anime if its good and keeps you invested in the story out of the ones u listed I think parasyte is the best
reenreen 5y
Maybe your problem is that you're binging every series too fast. You might want to take a slower approach with each series, maybe only watch 2-3 eps per day. You can always switch between a few series, but I'm not sure about switching between this many, since it may hinder your enjoyment with each of them (this is a very personal preferences tho so I'm not gonna strongly suggest anything)
Another problem I see is that some of these shows are very long, very shonen, and well, have many fillers that are indeed boring (One Piece, Shippuden, and first season of Jojo is just not that good). If you get bored with a show, try starting a new one from a different genre. You may get genre-fatigue from watching too many of the same genre at once
Last thing I'll say is remember to take breaks, otherwise you might get burnt out from the medium in general
DibDibs 5y
I would normally stick to a show until I finish it. I'm taking a wild guess and say that you've just recently discovered anime and you're in that binge-watch phase. Just stick to a show that you feel you want to watch, if you're not in the mood for shounen, then don't start on one. For the longer shows, try watching until the end of an arc, that way it's be less difficult to come back to it. All of the shows you're currently watching are good, but it depends on which one you feel like watching so I can't really suggest one you should stick to.

Lmao you should check out my profile lol I started watching anime in July 2020. 91 days now. Finished BNHA without stopping

  i sit down to watch an anime and then get distracted by a sheep eating grass help please
Schrez 5y
Kill the sheep
- Blu3Bird 5y
  yes.
  ok but seriously idk if i have ADHD or if im just a dumb ass who*e
- 4TH4RV 5y
  a small price
BaronS 5y
That usually means you're not that interested on the show. Maybe you've just been watching really mediocre shows
- Blu3Bird 5y
  wait thats true
  im watching chill shows atm like pokemon and i usually get distracted while watching it while for attack on titan season 4 im just staring at the screen cuz im having fun
4TH4RV 5y
Probably because the show is slow paced or boring. I get distracted often too, more than often tbh. But I watched Erased a few days ago and I couldn't stop watching next episode because it was so interesting. So yeah I think it depends on the show
CleddyfGwyn 5y
You need your favourite hot drink and a bowl of whatever food or snack you like the most, if you can lay down and get comfy under a blanket or something then that's a good idea. Also, turn off the lights/close the curtains.

Create an enclosed world with just you, the screen and whatever food and drink to keep you comfortable.

Cinemas are successful for a reason.
;)

Good luck.

  OMG THANKS SM THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

  May sound weird or stupid but do you have tips for binge watching?
  
  I usually have to have something to fiddle with in my hands or I have to take breaks.
chiraxxz 5y
When I started watching anime I could binge anything easily.
But now there are hardly any anime I watch without taking breaks.
NatsumiKagami 5y
I wouldn't force yourself to binge - it'll hinder your enjoyment a lot.
- dxlusion 5y
  it's not that im not enjoying it when I binge, its I just get a bit restless. but I agree, especially with episodic anime, its nice to watch a couple eps at a time
- Ermac97 5y
  12 episodes seasons are fine to binge but the longer it is can really feel tiresome. Even can feel like not continue watching. Tried to binge Monogatari and watched from Bake to Hana in 2 weeks. It has been 3 weeks since i took a break.
  xXDisappointmentXx 5y
  Yeah I feel you, I did Bake to Hana in about three weeks maybe four months ago and have only watched two more parts since.
  Ermac97 5y
  That sucks and almost at the finish line :( after making this comment I might give it another try.
proma21 5y
It depends. What are you watching? Are you old enough?
If I am watching something trashy, I like to watch it either drunk or High
If I am watching something really hype, energy drinks or coffe would do
If I am watching romance Ice Cream and Chocolate if single. Girlfriend or Boyfriend if in a relationship.
- IdiotKun 5y
  boi
- Wertys 5y
  I second the comment on romance. Drowning your sorrows in ice cream as you simp over 2D men or women is very effective.
  
  Not speaking from personal experience of course...
lunimez 5y
it depends on the animes length

if it has around 12-13 episodes (or less) then you can finish it a couple hours - though, you can take breaks if you want too, but if it has wayy wayy more episodes, breaks are very necessary

i dont have any tips though, i just sit and watch the anime until im done
- ZaeWarudo 5y
  it also depends if the anime is good if its good you'll finish it in a day easily if it isnt then i'd take a few days cuz of lack of motivation to watch it tho there are some exceptions an anime could be trashy but so trashy thats its good as in scums wish i binged that surprisingly
  lunimez 5y
  yeah that too, if an anime isnt good the binge wont be enjoyable + you probably just wasted your time watching all those episodes
  ZaeWarudo 5y
  yeah that sucks
