Marathoning anime ruins the experience. You should watch no more than one episode a week of each series that you're watching. You must also view it on a TV that is away from your computer and all other distractions.
Marathoning anime ruins the experience...
Helo sir
Time to watch my Plastic Little VHS!
There's some truth to that, TV and marketing studies show that audiences give a series lower ratings is they binge instead of waiting days between eps
any time spent not consuming is wasted time
>You should watch no more than one episode a week of each series that you're watching
Isn't that basically the definition of marathoning? It's only missing that it must be done at 1x speed.
If so why did you recommend me to ruin my own experience?
Nonsense. People have marathoned anime for decades ever since home media became commom place and nobody ever made this claim until recently. Stop unknowingly falling for TV station propaganda.
I'll just do whatever I want faggot
Why one per week? One per day should be sufficient to let it sink in and 'reset' your mind between episodes. What benefit does adding more delay have?
Doing that would require remembering an unholy amount of names, terminology and plot points, unless you're fine watching less than an hour of anime in total per day.
The existence of Netflix and those who hate it so much that they conflate marathoning with it won't stop me from watching stuff at my preferred pace.
beans on round toast??
Also, be sure to watch in a well-lit room at least 3 meters away from the TV.
I know this is a shitpost but I legitimately do that.
I sit down every friday with a schedule of which show I watch at which time-slot, reminiscent of a TV programming block like Toonami and watch one episode a week of like 6-8 shows.That way I can watch some new stuff while also working on my backlog and I try to always have a healthy balance of genres and time-periods, so it doesn't become boring.
I might be autistic
You're missing out on the anticipation of the next episode, which is a critical part of the enjoyment. Those days of waiting for the next episode, imagining what might happen, etc, all builds within your mind an appreciation and love for the series.
I like to download a series onto a flashdrive, put the flashdrive in a blender with whatever fruits/liquids I think best match the anime, and then drink it. I really think it imbues the essence of the series into my brain
>Marathoning anime ruins the experience
I agree 100%
>You should watch no more than one episode a week
Kinda agree, some series can be good with a couple of episodes per day, some are better with a weekly schedule, some are like a daily rite and you watch it one and wait for the next day
>You must also view it on a TV that is away from your computer and all other distractions.
My sight is becoming worse each passing day and my PC is my best monitor, I can't do otherwise
This. Netflix obsessed Any Forums tourists really ought to shut the hell up.
>watching it on 1.5x speed while multitasking
horrific
Is there an app or something that will help remind me of the shows I'm watching? If I tried to do this I feel like I would just forget about it during that week in between
I either binge multiple shows and movies in a day, or watch one episode a month. No in between.
That's only fun if you have friends or Any Forums to talk about the episodes with. If you're behind and watching solo, there's not much point.
>Marathoning anime ruins the experience.
Yes.
>You should watch no more than one episode a week of each series that you're watching
No, fuck off.
>You must also view it on a TV that is away from your computer and all other distractions.
Plug your computer to your OLED TV, old man.
I just use an excel sheet
Experiencing a complete story without any breaks to cloud your memory is bad? Why?
what sad looking burger
In practice that anticipation wanes within 24 hours and by the time I start the next episode of a currently airing series I have to think back 'where did the story leave off again?'. It actually ruins the effect of those cliffhanger endings that don't get resolved until halfway through the next episode (you know, those episodes where they start post-cliffhanger and don't reveal how that ended until a bit further in) because I forget about the cliffhanger until they go back to it.
Don't kid yourself. Marathoning is garbage for retention. This isn't limited to just media by the way.
>Marathoning is garbage for retention.
I take it you've never watched a movie before?
I'm not taking the bait.
