As fans of anime, we watch anime- a lot. It’s what fans do. Some of us watch more than others, while some are the occasional anime fan, time permitting.
When I was first getting into anime, I watched some anime at least once a week. At the time, the longest I would go without watching anime would be about a week. The more I became interested in anime, the more I would watch. Eventually, I was watching anime three to four times a week and little else. Then things evened out, and watching anime became a regular bi-weekly habit.
These days, even if we’re (David and I) busy, we try and watch anime at least once a week. There was a time though, when we weren’t able to watch the anime which was piling up, due to circumstances beyond our control. I think the longest we went then was a month or two. We had to play hardcore catchup to stay up to date with all the anime we needed to watch, and I would like to forgo a repeat experience.
How long have you been deprived of anime, at the longest, either by your own will or against it? Was it a week, day, hour, month or was it more like years? What’s the longest you’ve gone without watching anime?
Feel free to comment about your anime abstinence below!
Technically about 8-9 years, since I didn’t start watching anime till I was 8 or 9.
Barring that….I don’t think I watched a single episode since the summer….so 6 months.
As I have mentioned in other posts, I had a gap of 25+ years between my regular viewing of anime…unless you want to count seeing bits and pieces of Transformers, Voltron, and Gigantor or quasi-anime like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors while channel surfing. I never watched more than 5 minutes at a time since I wasn’t really interested in anime during this period.
