I miss it, discovering an anime and binging it. Nowadays, I know all the anime, so I have to resort to watching an anime each week a new episode comes out. I feel like a fucking caveman. Thank god for Edgerunners. Like, I haven't binged anything like that in forever. It's just a completely different vibe, forgetting all time, all that exists is the next episode, the experience, the moment. Can anyone relate? Does anyone have a strong enough will to just wait? Another thing I hate about the weekly sodes, realizing you don't like a series 5 episodes in. Like wtf man, I've been keeping up with the series for like a month now, and now what am I supposed to do with all this anticipation that's just filled up. Disappointing, that's what it is. Just watched the first episode of chainsaw man and that's what's got me feeling this way. My god that first episode was good. That fake out, though I think it would've been way more interesting played straight. But omg, it affected me way more than the manga did, like I actually almost cried. And that's the closest I ever am to crying. How'd everyone else feel about chainsaw man first ep? Now I'mma give the manga a second try. Later
Nah, I have the sentiments about discovering and binge-ing an anime in the past, but not anymore now. Maybe, it's because the plots have become too generic or fanservice-ee. Chainsaw Man anime is so fking awesomeeeeee. I'm totally slayeddd. The manga is also good. lmao. Too funny, gory, and unpredictable
I’m pretty sure you will never know or watch every single anime out there. Go find a random button on an anime watching site to press. Or rewatch Lucky Star for the 100th time!
Abstaining is a classic Stoic technique to stymie hedonic adaptation & put the zest back into daily life. Personally, I just got out of the habit watching anime. The ratio of story/time is so much lower than the written medium. Reading webnovels & light novel feels like mainlining these worlds. So I just catch an interesting title here and there.
I can't wait for anime, hence I turned to manga. I can't wait for manga, hence I turned to novel. I can't wait for novel, hence I sent knife to author house.
I'm the type of person to focus wholeheartedly on a single topic for several months at a time. By the time I get back to anime there's already a bunch of new stuff out I can check out. It's the opposite of patience that keeps me supplied.
I don't watch anime often, and when I do, I usually prefer to wait until a season has been completed, so as to let me binge it~ Like, I don't dread watching weekly stuff, but it's just so much more satisfying to binge an anime in a single day~
