Couple A’ Nerds Episode 39: Just Us – Binge-Worthy Anime Adventures

Are You Ready to Binge Some Anime? Here’s What You Need to Know!

In our latest podcast episode, we dive deep into the world of anime binging. As anime enthusiasts and long-time fans, we’ve seen the evolution of how anime is consumed—from the nostalgic days of VHS tapes to the convenience of modern streaming services.

The Evolution of Anime Binging

Back in the day, watching anime was a challenge. Dungeon Master Eguile recalls the days of VHS tapes and limited access. “I grew up a child of the nineties, so for me, it was mostly done on television. It was Toonami, HBO at midnight, or if you were lucky, a DVD box set,” he says. Fast forward to today, and we have a plethora of streaming services like Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netflix, and Hulu, making it easier than ever to dive into your favorite shows.

What Makes an Anime Binge-Worthy?

Not all anime are created equal when it comes to binging. Some shows are too heavy or dramatic to watch in one go. “You can’t really binge everything. Some shows are just too heavy or dramatic to watch in one go,” says DM Eguile. We’ve developed a checklist to help you determine if an anime is binge-worthy:

1. **Number of Episodes**: Shorter series (one to two seasons) are easier to binge.
2. **Commercials**: Ads can disrupt the flow, so consider ad-free options.
3. **Genre**: Slice of life and light-hearted shows are generally easier to binge.
4. **Availability**: Check multiple streaming services to find where your desired anime is available.
5. **Filler Episodes**: Be wary of shows with a lot of filler content.
