Is it better to watch an Anime all in one go? or to watch it once a week as it's aired?

If it doesn't grab my attention in the first ep or two, I'll drop it. Sometimes I'll come back to it after for a marathon. I like watching weekly, but spoilers crop up sometimes, especially if someones read the manga.

If I become very interested in a particular series, then it would be hell to wait one week. I generally watch a few episodes at a time, sometimes more. There is also the chance I may forget some of what has happened if I wait a week.

Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 4/11/12 i like watching anime all in one go... but you know... waiting for the episode once every week adds to the suspense of it and often makes a series better. it's actually sometimes what i use to see if i actually like the series or not. if i look forward to the next episode, it's definitely a keeper.

Shows with cliffhangers are the ones where I REALLY want access to the entire series. On the other hand, I watched the "Haruhi-chan" web episodes as they came out, and that was fine to watch once a week. So it really depends on the series in the end.

lord0bacon 15446 cr points Send Message: 20 / M / Indiana Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 4/11/12 I typically watch the series all in one go (12-24 episodes a day), but with some series, I really liked watching it as a series. Waiting in the Summer was probably the best example - It coincided with the start of my college career, so the memories are nice. It made me appreciate the show a bit more as well. Overall though, I suggest in one go.

So i basically w8 for it to finish and download the whole thing for better viewing... Only disadvantage: Get Fricking Pissed that you finished the anime in just 1 sitting makes you want more but you know its over
