    Is this possible? Has anyone done it? Maybe you should not start watching anything unless you honestly don't have anything to do, so you can marathon at least one season or a round number like 10eps or 5eps?

    As someone who absolutely lacks discipline, the only way to watch just one episode (a day I assume) is if I'm not that interested. The other way is if you're following anime/series that's just coming out one episode a day/week, so you have no choice in the matter. I avoid doing that since I got burned by some dramas with a sad ending...

    The trick is to be busy and stressed out. Then you feel incredible pressure to stop after a single episode. If you have nothing else to do then there's no issue with watching more.

    I've reached such point in my life that I'm procrastinating from watching anime.

    I still haven't finished the S1 of Fire Force which I started watching a year ago.

    Just watch something new that still only have one episode. You can only watch one episode if there is only one episode.

    ha?
    just one per week?
    that normal when this cat still kitten~
    anime only aired once a week on sunday, despite there plenty of series on one day, one anime one episode once a week~ cartoon depend on series be it looney tunes, popeye, old cartoon network or tom and jerry~
    tv drama twice, 5, 6 times a week or everyday~ quiz also same~
    thats for thing you want to watch
    for so so interest watch one episode then forget the rest really easy~ anime, tv series, drama series just name it~

    if this cat watch only one then not watch da rest it mean boring, so~so, or have no way to access which usually money problem~

    If it’s a really great show and its completed, then it’s just impossible to watch one episode/week or day. It would probably be really easy if youre not really into it, but for me I just tend to lose interest especially if I don’t really have anything to do and just decreased my binge tendency to that much, cause I tend to finish mine in one sitting lol.

    You mean 1 season (12ep) in one sitting.
    Yeah, you can..

    Though in my experience of my current life style, anymore than that.. I would stop and do some dailies of JPEG waifu game before continue

    Same I also haven't finished many animes from last year including fire force.
    Same goes for k-dramas haven't finished a single one from last six months.
    Only thing covid has done is to increase sloth powers.

    I don't know what you're talking about, I watch all my series and movies on fmovies.wtf for free.
    A season of anything I guess unless the episodes are super long or there are a lot of them. I'm not talking about anime, but sure anime is included.

    Usually if I’m rewatching something for the third time- then I could manage one or two episodes... and even skip the “boring” parts. But then sometimes I wouldn’t even finish all the episodes for that third run-through. Same goes for reading (like when you are waiting for more chapters). I think I’ve re-read the legendary mechanic 500 first chapters more than two full times already and four times if I count when I skip stuff...

    It depends..
    Most of the show(Japanese or Korean) is around 22 min or 50+ min
    At most I would stick my butt on my chair for 5~6 hour most

    This is the only right answer. You can't watch 2 episodes if there is only 1 episode available~
