TIL binge-watching ruined my anime experience for years
I used to plow through 12 episodes in a night, but after taking a week to watch Frieren one episode at a time, I realized how much detail and emotion I was missing. Has anyone else noticed a big difference in how they feel about a show after slowing down?

Yeah same, I barely remembered anything from binge watching Attack on Titan the first time.

Oh man, this totally hit home for me. I did the exact same thing with Frieren actually, I binged the first four episodes in one go and barely remembered what happened. Then I forced myself to watch one per night and it was like a completely different show, I caught so many little facial expressions and quiet moments I totally missed before. It's wild how our brains just sort of gloss over stuff when we're in that mode of trying to finish as fast as possible. Sometimes slowing down makes the good parts stick with you way longer, you know?
