Watch currently airing or wait until done? - severos - Apr 20, 2018
The ever lasting question...
If there's good anime going, do you wait for it to finish airing before watching it (watch other stuff while waiting ofc)? or do you stick to the one episode per week rule??
I usually wait until the season is done and watch it in one go (maybe 2, depending on length), but rarely I find my self addicted to some shows that I watch them as they air.
What about you guys? which strategy do you follow?

Well I prefer to watch shows when they’re finished and binge watch
Exception is if my mates are watching the show which is currently airing like (dragon ball super was) I would watch it weekly

I prefer waiting for them to finish, or at least get a few episodes in. Unless it's a series like DB Super, or My Hero Academia then I'll watch everytime the episode drops to support it.

All the anime I'm watching is currently airing.
It's a pain when you've seen every fucking anime.

I prefer watch watch as they air. Far easier to avoid spoilers and you can get excited thinking about the next episode. Sometimes I'll leave something for after the season, usually because I didn't have time to watch weekly.

Pretty much this, the internet loves to spoil shit the second it happens. Also I like to get invested in a few anime but generally I'll pick up a few random anime here and there to also watch and binge with airing anime

The best way to counter this is not watching anime at all

A more efficient alternative would be to have the thought of going back in time to stop anime from ever being created so your future self can go back and rid us of the cancer before it can even begin

Back in the old days , where I have not much goals and have a lot of free time so I just idle around. During those times I used to watch while it airs.
But after couple years , where my life starts to get busy and I have my own personal goals.
That's where I start to forget about watching and watch them when I'm done with my personal stuff.
So yeah , this is how i build the habit of watching it after it airs all the episodes.
Edit: I'm not really a hardcore anime fan myself , so yeah. Waiting for it airs out is not really a big deal for me. But its different for Manga, I only start reading them when it release like 5 or 6 chapters.

Yes sir; Master Weeb.
On topic, I'd rather wait until the end, especially with DB Super.
BUT... My Hero Academia has been a weekly thing for me.

Yup, social media. I follow a lot of anime related pages on Facebook so I'll see a lot of spoilers there.

While airing.
Life's been busy, I can't bother to marathon and waste many hours on a single day anymore. I can better manage my time if its a single episode per week

What would be the point? I'd rather just have everything in the one place.
