Man, WFM was so so good.
I absolutely loved the sound design.

Ah, I see what's happened - I'm on mobile with Sync, and it doesn't support that markdown.
I had to open this thread in a browser to even see your comment formatted correctly.
I go weeks at a time without anime, find a show I really like, get 7 eps deep and then find another show I like, then end up watching Gunhed.
I never go back to the unfinished anime, forget what it was or that I ever watched it, then find it again months later and wonder why the first 7 eps are already watched.
20 episodes in a single day is a slog, even for a show you like.
Unless you're watching a dub, you can't just listen, you have to be watching the whole time otherwise you miss the sub and have to go back - so you have to be giving your full concentration.
Personally I find it quite hard to my full concentration for more than a couple of hours - nevermind the 7 hours it would take to pull this off.
I will often start a show I want to see the action on in dub, but the first picosecond of voice I hear that I don't like I immediately switch to sub. But most romcom stuff or anything that isn't a mecha or flashy action anime I just start directly in sub.
My kids started getting into one piece, an Anime I admittedly never watched, so I watch it with them. I get the hype now, there have been several times we've torn through 8+ episodes in one sitting. Skip Intro makes it fly by.
I prefer watching older anime or read the manga if it's being adapted. Waiting a month for each episode is painful.
Attack of titans made me wait a month for each installment though. I remember zooming in and appreciating the detailed art (not the best) to spend more time with each edition.

I'll watch no anime for months, then I'll find a show I really like and watch 6 episodes a day. Dungeon Meshi was that show recently.

Same.
In my case, Gundam: Witch from Mercury was the one that single-handedly brought me back into anime after 4?+ years of not watching.

I'm almost done with the first season of Frieren. Started last year. Awesome show so I'm taking my time with it.

It's what Himmel would have done.

Me either. Not of a new series at least. Why can't I find something that catches my attention? Time to rewatch all the ghost in the shells I guess

If I'm really into a show I am still able to pull a marathon like the days of old.
Vaeril@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y
3 episodes in one sitting is like my max, even if the show is interesting.

Im a seasonal andy and I watch 1-3 episodes of different shows a day. Depends on how the seasons stacks up for what shows I like are on what days
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 2y
I rarely watch on my own, I usually invite friends over and we'll marathon some shows on the projector.

I wait until all the episode is release and see if its faithful to the manga or not.

I don’t read manga so don’t have to worry about that.
