silverpikachu99 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 As in, how long have you ever watched anime, going from one episode to the next? Do you guys usually just watch one anime in a day or find another and keep going until you feel like dying of exhaustion? I personally just finish one and then keep going on to the next one.. ^^; I'm the kind of person that can stay up as long as they want and never get tired~ It's the best when I'm in an ultra Otaku mood :3 Here's a loli for ya~~ Quote
suikashoujo Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I think I once sat and watched seven episodes of School Days in a row. Usually 5-6 is about my limit (I recently watched the entire second half of Haganai NEXT in one day). Quote
JakeDPhil Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It's not uncommon that I'll watch a whole 13 episode anime in a day if I have no VNs to read. Other than that, I'll usually watch at least one or two anime episodes a day if I am busy. Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I can easily watch a 12 episode anime in a day and i've done it before. As long as i get into the show itself i can go through it easily. What you call ultra otaku mode I guess can be applied to this as well. If i find the anime boring i probably won't be able to do this though. I watched Elfen Lied in one day for example. It was a feels overload but it was so worth it. Although with time i notice i'm not as into marathoning shows as I was before. Maybe i'm getting old? I don't know but with almost 400 anime watched i don't have the same mentality I had when i first started. The longest i stayed up watching the same anime was most likely Gintama. I was just so into it I couldn't stop watching even if i wanted to. Quote
Jptje Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I usually watch 1-3 episodes a day. Over a year ago, when I first got into anime, I was watching naruto (in hindsight I think it's not that great, but I loved it at the time) and one day, I watched 23 episodes in one day. I wish I had that kind of free time now... Quote
ServeTheServant Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yesterday I watched angel beats from start to finish. Quote
Down Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I've long lost the ability to watch the same anime for more than 2-3 episodes at a time. Major exceptions being sports anime and certain specific slice of life. But I always have lots of stuff started at the same time so I just switch back and forth when I don't feel like doing something else. Edit: to answer the question, the longest I did was 18 episodes of TTGL in a day, with 2 episodes of Gintama inbetween iirc. I probably paused at some point but it must have been short. Quote
Kaguya Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Max I've done was when I first got into anime. I remember finishing a 24 episodes one and watching half of another. I only do this kind of thing with VNs now, though. I've gradually lost my interest for anime, now I only watch 2 or 3 per season whereas I used to watch 10~15. Quote
FruitsPunchSamurai Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Usually when i find an anime that i really like i can go watching it all through one day be it 12 episodes or 26 episodes. Even on long running anime like fairy tail or gintama i found myself watching nothing else until i was finished. Quote
cryofrzd Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It has happened that I've watched a whole anime 12 ep series in one run (maybe short pauses for instant food/drinks) on weekend/holidays. I remember I watched Madoka and Bakemonogatari and then Nisemonogatari like that. Now however I haven't actually watched anime in some time, the VNs keep me too entertained and busy. Quote

Flutterz Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I watched all of Acchi Kocchi in a single sitting. I also rewatched both seasons of Clannad starting on New Years Eve, but I was doing other stuff while watching. Quote
krill Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 all 52 eps of hayate the combat butler first season at once was my record Quote
Mevvrynne Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Back when I was in the prime of my anime days, like when I hadn't seen that much, I would watch for hours on end. My longest time was actually the second time I watched One Piece, which lasted about 33 hours. That's when you discover that humans actually DO pass out from fatigue when they don't sleep. Quote
Guest Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 The two seasons of K-on ~36 ep. I slept a lot right after and my eyes were hurting Wouldn't recommend Quote
Zhiroo Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 All Toradora epsiodes in a sitting when I rewatched it a few months ago. Quote
Tom Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 i think i win in this department i watched THE WHOLE FMA [2003] is one run - 51 episodes (didnt skip any episode except the openings) Quote
WinkBlinkel Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Two instances stick out in my mind. My first time watching Gurren Lagann I plowed through everything post time-skip in one sitting. (Don't do that, it will hurt your brain). Second was all of Nichijou in one day. Looking back, I don't actually regret either. Quote
coldwinter92 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 hmm My longest.... I think it is when i watched Clannad and Clannad after story non-stop from the first episode of clannad till the end of clannad after story. Well you get really tired after that but that anime is like art itself Quote
monkeysrumble Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 The longest I have ever marathon-ed an anime was probably Code Geass which I basically watched almost the entire first season in one sitting and finished the second season very soon after. I don't have exact numbers but the only time I took a break was when I needed to sleep. Another contender was when I was 11 years old and I started watching Bleach on the internet and finished a good deal of the Soul Society arc pretty quickly, that was my first anime marathon. Quote
Otaku1612 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 The longest anime run I'VE ever had was watching both seasons of Code Geass in about 3-5 days, can't remember exactly how long. I think I did it during exams as well. Totally worth it. Quote
Silvachief Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I think my longest was watching Sword Art Online over 1 day and the next morning. That was planned, though. I don't normally marathon anime. Quote
silverpikachu99 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 I think my longest was watching Sword Art Online over 1 day and the next morning. That was planned, though. I don't normally marathon anime. Woo same :0 I watched all of SAO in one day then the rest the next~ after I honestly didn't know what to do with my life though lol (・_・; Quote
littleblufish Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I was sick in bed a while back so I marathoned the entire Monogatari series, that was fun Quote
seihai Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 When it comes to anime my stamina is usually very high. I have no problems sitting through 26 episodes of something. I even tried to watch through 50+ episode animes before (like the entire Code Geass series or Law of Ueki and such) but I would sleep inbetween, at least take a nap, then continue to the end. Quote
