I’m amazed that you can watch so many episodes within one day I can only watch a maximum of 5 per day, and that’s during summer too!

I dunno, if I can suggest a very addicting anime, but Seto no Hanayome made me laugh so hard! I also watch some romantic and dramatic anime, but I’m a mecha nut at heart…

XD @ usagijen with the TMC promotion

I really like Fs/n, so it just depends on what you’re interested in. Mecha and you get into TTGL or something? Yeah, your anime drive will likely be high. That’s what I was saying =P

watching animes is a form of escapism after all, so the drive you have probably stems from wanting to escape that certain reality aspect.

My anime/manga drive way back in college would be when I feel like taking a break from studying or making a project, or when I feel like I still have plenty of time to spare for those academic stuff. Or when I’m just plain bored. Otherwise, I’m pretty academics-oriented (though still a slacker most of the time… I just get “surges” of academic desires).

If you ever feel like taking a break from the usual animes, the action and moe, do give Tokyo Marble Chocolate (OAV) a try, though I’m not sure if romance stuff like this is your cup of tea
Otherwise, the drive-giving animes I can think of are all of the sports-genre…

super rats > It’s a good thing I have 2 screens, so I can watch and surf the net at the same time, if I want.

TP > It just feels really good to slack of just before and during your exams.

tj_han > I do everything except study during exam periods. Studying for each paper would be last minute cramming.

samejima >Otakus are weird. I’m weird, you’re weird, we’re all weird.

Icystorm > My anime drive wasn’t that high when I watched FS/N. It was much higher when I marathoned stuff like Black Lagoon and Full Metal Panic. There has got to be guns!!!

It really depends…

If I really get into a series early on, my drive will be high, like right now I’m watching Fate/stay night and it’s freaking awesome. Shuffle! on the other hand, let my drive become really low and I watched an episode like every 2 days.

Why do we otaku(s) hang around our fantasies at a crucial times as having an exam, doing things related to the real world, etc…
and anime & figure collecting boosts my drive and motivated to learn new things related to webpage designing and coding… weird.. no relevance in it.

Actually, same. I blog, read manga and watch anime a lot more during times when I should be studying.

Wow, you choose to get an anime drive at the wrong periods of the time… what are you, a dojikko?

In regards to the topic at hand, ~~sex~~anime drive is a good thing, depending on circumstances and events. I would say my drive will proportionate to periods of shows I’m currently watching in earnest. E.g. Gundam 00 is broadcasted every Saturdays, so 2 days before or after the said day, I will get this “drive” to watch anime.

For me, if there are no good shows, it’s usually Saturdays and Tuesdays, because Saturdays is a chill-out day (for me), and Tuesdays… well, I dunno why I like Tuesdays.

It definitely comes and goes. Depends on how bored I get with the Internet. Usually when I watch more anime, I’m barely online. Or if for some reason I get more active online I can go weeks without watching any. Most of the time I only watch anime on the weekend anyway. Internets only disrupt the Monday thru Friday watching.
