Pro tip: a guy at the anime club in Reno told me to stop watching 3 episodes at 2x speed and it stuck with me
Last month at the Tuesday meetup in Reno, this guy named Dev saw my watch list and asked how much of it I actually remembered, and I couldn't name a single arc from the four shows I'd binged that week. He said he watches one episode a night, then sits with it for ten minutes before bed and writes one line about it, which sounded annoying but I tried it. Do you actually remember the shows you speed through, or is finishing the season the only part that matters to you?
the sitting with it part is what gets me, cause thats where the show actually stays with you. like if you speed through 12 eps in a night its just noise by the end, but one ep plus a few minutes of actually letting it sink in does way more. kinda makes me wonder how much of my "watched" list is just stuff i scrolled past with my eyes honestly.
