    Some people choose to watch their anime as the episodes come out week by week. By doing so you have the advantage of keeping up with the series and the ability to discuss recent episodes as it progresses without being ambushed by spoilers. However, once one episode is over, you'd have to wait an entire week before you can see the what happens next and can be left in suspense over some type of cliffhanger.

    Others decide to wait until the series is complete and marathon it. That way, they can watch the series from beginning to end without interruption and without the anticipation of having to wait for the next episode.

    What's your preference watching anime marathons or watching the episodes week by week?

    I pulled several marathons and I gotta say that it's great to just keep on watching, but I usually don't have the time to do so, so I end up catching up after a long time and if the anime is still running, I make sure that I keep up. Out of the two I still prefer marathons, since you can just keep on watching, without having to wait.

    I've Marathon'd a few but in general my anime watching is spotty, sometimes I only watch 2-3 episodes while I might watch 10 another time. It varies depending on my mood.

    There have been occasions when I have marathon watched some animes. The most recent one is probably Attack On Titan. I'm not really bothered these days about keeping up with the latest happenings in recently released anime episodes; I'm quite content to wait until the complete series is released and then watch it from start to finish.

    I usually marathon most anime's, but if it's a new anime, I usually watch week by week, especially if it's good. But, I don't do it that often though~

    I've marathoned quite a number of anime that have already finished by the time I've come to discover them but so far I've only pulled a week to week for Dog Days season 3 so far. I prefer watching it all at once since you don't have to wait for the next week episode but sometimes if you really like it and you know that it pops up every week, I'm willing to wait even though I hate waiting XD
