Do you prefer to watching an anime's episodes spaced out from each other or pretty close together in a short time span?
I've noticed some people prefer finishing an anime series very quickly (sometimes on the same day) while others prefer spacing out their episodes. My friend at work often waits until an anime is two or three episodes from completing before starting to watch it and then he'll usually finish 24-26 episode series within three to five days.
I prefer the spaced out approach, but most of the people I've talked to seem to prefer the faster approach.
Honestly, it depends on my backlog. If the backlog is light, I tend to watch things as I get them. If it's heavy, I'll tend to watch things that are complete so that I have a series off my list when I'm done with it.
Really now that is an interesting fact I hadn't heard before. Aren't you usually honest?

1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

You built up quite a backlog didn't you with all that gameplaying you were doing.

I almost always wait for a half season to be done and then blast thru 13 episodes in a couple of days and then move on to something else until the next batch is up

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
That is interesting: down to 8 antique cars said it wait for a half season to be done and then blast thru 13 episodes in a couple of days and then move on to something else until the next batch is up 8. Really always?

I like to space out my anime watching. I hate watching a whole bunch of episodes at once because then it's over too quickly. I like to take my time and think about what might happen to the characters as the anime progresses. Also, I can't sit still for more than 4 episodes usually. Too many things to do in RL.
I'd prefer not to even watch two episodes from the same show on the same day if I can help it.
This probably stems from several years ago when somebody asked me if I was able to figure out plot points in an anime before they got revealed. I didn't have an answer to give to give him. I watched the anime so quickly that I didn't have time to think about potential plot possibilities. I think after that incident I tended to watch things a little bit slower.
Yeah, it depends on what is happening in the week. If I am fortunate enough to get a complete day off I will sit and watch a whole series. But most of the time I get to watch one or two episodes every few days. But I do prefer to just sit down and watch them one after the other.

I consider myself a power-anime-watcher. When I got into Naruto and Bleach, I started a little late, it took 12 days to get current on Naruto and another week for Bleach; I love all this free time in college!
Depends on how hooked I am. I can go anywhere from 50+ eps in a weekend... Or as slow as 1 ep per week (or two). What I don't like about the marathons is that it's usually a show that I love and it ends so quickly, so now I try to have a schedule... But lately I'm too busy to even watch anything.

I just hope it doesn't get stuck in my head.
