I watch series via livestream. I dont care about the loss in graphix. I prefer fast accesibility over graphics. I generally watch them for the story anyways. Looks come second to me. Watching FMA now, from after dinner (18.00 - 23.45) and in the weekends most of the day. Approx 12-13 eps a night during weekdays.
The only problem I get with watching episodes in this manner (watching a lot of them in a small timeframe) is that I get superattached to the main characters of the story because I spend so much time watching them. (18.00-23.45 is about all the free time I have during the weekdays as I have a fulltime job. So basically my life starts revolving around the series Im following in such a fashion.)
I was comletely shattered when I "marathonned" through Avatar: The Last Airbender. I know that's not an anime, but that's besides the point. At the end of the second season I realised there was nothing l could watch about them anymore..season three is still in development. I felt very sad for some reason. I wanted to know how they're lifestory progresses!! Yet I keep doing it, eventhough I know I will be sad when I reach the end I "marathonned" through Nana ( I know that's shōjo shadap >.>) and felt heartbroken afterwards. Currently marathonning FMA..which is great so far! (I know it's not real "marathonning" but I don't know what to call it.)
On the other hand Im watching Bleach on its weekly basis and it's boring the heck out of me. The annoying thing is, that when I can watch only one episode per week I tend to have a higher expectance from the series quality. Watching a "filler" episode is REALLY annoying if you can only watch one episode a week. When I can only one episode a week, I tend to line up several different series on a weekly cycle to fill the time, the same way I do with webcomics ( I read 17 webcomics weekly, some of them update twice a week). The annoying thing with that way, is that I sometimes mix up stories.. (allthough half of those webcomics are not story based though, they are just err solo comics)
Holy shi...I wrote down a lot more than I intended...soz for flooding the thread !!!
