jackbw0890 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I could say I am on a break right now. Had to roam a lot lately and while it's been a nice departure from boring all-day desk job, I haven't got to watch a single ep or even a movie for more than a month. But with every hobby, I tend to check back every now and then. Makes catching up a lot less painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipyyz Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Random breaks here and there, max few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaiyanLove Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I have taken breaks from anime sporadically and I've always regretted it. Usually it's because I've been too busy or distracted by something else. Like.. I love to read, so if I'm on a book kick, I'm not watching anime during it. Or I've renewed my interest in sci fi recently so I've been watching things like the Orville, etc. There just isn't enough time in a day to watch, read, play everything I want to watch, read and play!

varthshenon Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Well, getting a job surely decrease my anime time greatly. But I still watch some from time to time. Especially movies because I go to movie theater weekly with my friends when there's anime airing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normalsomeplace Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 In the beginning , my anime schedule was only Naruto. Then we kinda moved to another place and I kinda forgot and stopped watching completely for close to a year. I resumed watching Naruto and found out it had a sequel . I watched for a few months and then stopped again completely for a year again. Just last summer I decided to branch out and tried anime like Knights of Sidonia , Noragami and GATE. I have always wanted to follow up more but either I forget or something else come in the way. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondNine Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Anyone have any current opinions on the way anime as a medium is being produced, consumed, and transmitted. I mean there is original anime series by Netflix and many major networks are trying to get or launch their own anime or anime inspired programing?  It could link to individuals taking a break , if one was to assume there was an influx of material, as not all shows can be watched due to an abundance of material  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(AC) Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I did a while back when I had games to play and tv series to catch up on.  Was for more or less 2 weeks then back to anime goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rert33 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I watch a series once a few month..Not enough time for watching non-stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazyash Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I took a break from 2010-2016. Anime was a huge part of my junior/senior year of high school (powered through ~100 shows/movies in under a year), but then college/SO took over my attention. Getting back into it was so satisfying, I forgot how much I loved anime!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versailles Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) I just realized that 2018 will be 20 years since I first became became an anime fan, as in actually understanding that this was a genre, rather than seeing random animes but not knowing what they were (e.g. Speed Racer, Voltron, Journey Through Fairyland).  Anyway, yes, there have been two big breaks in that time. Near the end of high school and throughout college (university), I didn't watch anything because I didn't really have time with everything that was going on at school. I got back into it when I was in grad school and only working part-time, but I dropped off again once I got more and more involved in full-time jobs, home ownership and things like that. It wasn't that my opinion toward anime changed, it's just that as life goes on, you have more real-world responsibilities that take up your time.  But I'm hoping to get back into it these days. Not that I have any more free-time now, but I'm hoping I can find *somewhere* to carve out a few extra minutes in the week to watch an episode.

benisboi Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 All media needs breaks to fully appreciate the differences between them. I took a break in 2016 and came back in 2017, e. The only problem is you don't get to see the discussion going on when a show is airing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannyphantom Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I took a 3 months break when I got addicted to a game called osu!. I dropped two animes because of it *sigh*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
