I used to be like that.

One piece was getting popular while I was in college. But so did 100 other shonens, and I was aging out of it.

So to see it still here 20 years later, I decided to "wait" because I heard the whole Wano Arc was going to be the penultimate arc. But that pandemic hit hard and so I binged on everything.

And now I'm fucked as every few months since 2021, I'm wondering what the Straw Hats are up to.

One year I said fk it and decided to binge detective Conan (all episodes up released at that point). No it wasn't worth it. Don't do it.

Me too. It was exhausting, but I don't regret it.

I didn't watch Harry Potter for that reason.

When the final movie came out, I binged. And best part, was able to skip huge chunks of movies and get straight to the good stuff!

I'm reading so fucking slowly and it might still not be slow enough

I'm binge watching Frieren right now. Anime of the year for sure.

Personally I just do it because I’ve been burned by modern streaming too often: Find an interesting new show, watch the first season or two. The show picks up steam, people like it and the actors ask for more money on renewal. Streaming site drops the show and makes something else with cheaper actors, interesting story goes unfinished.
