Have you ever DELIBERATELY delayed finishing a beloved anime??

[Animelvr789]

I do that for a lot of anime. I did it for Ouran, I was hesitant to start watching it because the plot description seemed dangerous( a student in an 800 million debt, crossdressing and all.) Now that I have watched it and more, and read manga, I now know that such plots are misleading. Basically, I have transformed and embraced the anime world. I stopped watching Itazura na kiss( Kotoko as a bit too much annoying!) and Yumeiro( WAY TOO DAMN LONG FOR ME. Also, the no. of seasons overwhelmed me. As of now, I am crying that Snk does not have a second season. )

This is actually happening to me right now. Though Sword art online season 1 is ranked one of my fav, I've delayed the season 2 because I heard how the ending is going to be and I don't like those kind of endings. I even avoid anime with tragedies. I'll just have to muster some courage and finish it.

Well when i watched D.Gray-man i deliberately delayded finishing because i was scared that the anime will be not continued!!! But i just end up to watching and hoping for an miracle!!! Thanks god i have informed that D.Gray-man will have a new series!!!!

For Hunter x Hunter 2011 I did.
I cried too much watching the last 20 episodes of that anime...

[PotatoStyle]

Yes, I've delayed Little Busters, because I just didn't want it to end. ;'(

I also get that kind of feeling so what I'd do is watch other animes until I come to its second to the last episode and then switch back to the original one that I had my eye on but if my mood is like "I really don't want to end this anime yet" so I tend to watch some other animes more

I used to do this very often in the past, but I realized how much time it wasted for me so i'd rather finish it as quickly as possible.. then perhaps relive it by re-watching it after a few months or even years..

The closest thing i've been doing to that is delaying myself from watching ongoing anime episodes so that I get to binge-watch them for later hahaha!

Delayed gratification it is!

I am a fan of brevity where appropriate. The original post was to be: yes

However, there is a restriction of 5 characters minimum. I understand that this is to prevent spamming, but still questions have to be formulated so that one word answers are not possible >>> These questions often lead to the most intense discussion from which all may learn something.

[Prudii]

All the time. I need to prepare myself mentally and emotionally strong for such eventuality.I have avoided such things by watching other series, avoiding anime for awhile.

[Tea Serpent]

I often do that with anime I really don't want to end. Sometimes I'll also stop watching an ongoing series if it looks really interesting so I can watch the whole thing at once after all the episodes are out.

Yes, it was with the last episode of Kuroko no Basket.
When the last chapter of the manga was released, I cried so hard that I couldn't open my eyes properly the next morning.
I was so sad that the anticipation I felt while waiting for the next updates would be gone, I couldn't handle the fact that I won't be following their highschool life anymore.
When I did watch the last episode of the anime, it was probably 2 months after already.
The first few minutes, I kept clenching my chest, trying to stop the tears, I had goosebumps all over my body, I was trying so hard not to cry but when they started talking about friendship, in the zone and that stuff, I burst out crying, it felt like my heart was being torn apart.
I'm not exaggerating this, as I'm typing this, I'm re-feeling the feels again and I'm trying to think happy thoughts.

I think, I'll be like this when Fairy Tail ends too.
I've been imagining in while I'm lying on my bed at night and sometimes, I cry because I don't want the their adventures to end.

I'm not an avid fan of Naruto but when I saw Naruto Last Movie and Boruto the Movie, I cried too.
I grew up with Naruto, I was a kid too when I first watched Naruto and team 7 was still together.
I was in complete denia..... Naruto grew up, so should I?
Well, nevermind. *wipes tears*

[Keyorempi]

I never tried delaying anime. Why would you do that?

[PerkZ]

Can't happen, when I'm watching some series, i just really need to finish it directly, cause if i can't it bugs me everyday wondering what will happened.. so i'd rather finish it already than delaying it.

[88ayanami]

I only got some delay series because it's not complete yet or no one have a full hd quality to watch and a bit hard to watch it only once a week if you enjoying the whole story

[GeekyOtaku]

Boku no Hero - I was guilty of this while waiting for the new season at that time :P

[Fastmine]

I don't delay them because while I get emotional that a good anime is coming to it's end and my journey with the characters will soon be over, I will have the same sad feeling of "soon it's all over" until I actually finish it. So to me dragging it out would be like torture.

[i1abnrk]

Made in Abyss. Just couldn't finish. I watched all the way to episode 10 3 times and have to stop.
P.S. There is like 25 volumes of manga for Nisekoi, too.
