How many of you still prefer to binge watch anime instead of watching new episodes each weak.
And how many of you watch older shows on your backlog.
And how many of you only watch the latest stuff.
I personally binge watch anime and sometimes i may even postpone good anime for months.
And often hunt down older but good shows.
It's been years since I binge watched anything. I watch both current and older shows but rarely more than a couple of episodes in one sitting. I find I appreciate and remember a series better if I let each part sink in for a bit before watching the next.

Binge watching may be the wrong word for it, but i definitely prefer to watch stuff after it aired in chunks of a few episodes at a time. Kinda like >>160898185 i like to give stuff some time to sink in for a bit.
For current anime there are maybe one or two shows i watch week to week, if that; often i watch a few weeks worth at a time.
For shows that aren't a top priority but that i'd like to talk about i catch up to them in the week(s) leading up to the final episode so i can be part of the conversation.
I've stopped with the week to week shit after Jojo 4. Severely undercuts the enjoyment of a series for me. Though I think watching one episode when it first starts just to gauge your own interest or whatever is fine. I do that occasionally then just watch the rest after it finishes airing.
Switching from weekly to "regular" was a little hard for shows I was invested in though.
I dont really binge nowadays but when I frst started watching anime in 2012 watching a 12 episode show completely in one day was totally normal. I think the longest show I binged in one day was steins;gate.
I prefer seeing completed stuff, and mainly on weekends.
This is so I can binge 20+ eps overnight and be maddened with sleep-deprived second-wind images of war, wonder, and waifus, blearily labor through visions of espers and magicians and invisible cyborg ninja ghouls battling in the streets, etc., etc., feel those feels, fap those faps, and be back on Earth by monday morning. Excited for mediocrity.
