Shoutout to the guy who told me to stop binging seasonal anime weekly

I used to watch 12 shows a season and burned out hard by week 6 last spring. Now I stick to 3 and actually remember the plots. Has anyone else found a sweet spot for how many shows they can follow at once?

Used to be one of those "more is better" people, like 10+ shows a season was a flex or something. Then I hit winter 2022 with like 14 shows and by week 5 I couldn't even tell you what half of them were about, just watching to check a box. Your 3 show cap actually makes sense. I got stubborn about dropping things too, like I had to finish everything I started. Now I'm at 4-5 but I'm way more willing to just bail if something sucks. The quality of watching actually went up, I remember character names and stuff now.

Heard some podcast guy call it "anime burnout" and honestly that's exactly what it is, you just stop caring about anything. Glad you found a better system lol.
