I can only speak for myself, but outside of tuning into the weekly new episode of the shows I'm into, I haven't really sat down and dug into a show for quite a while. Back when I was rediscovering toku in 2012, I went on a consuming spree of watching a ton of different Rider and Sentai shows and their associated side-materials. I didn't get through all of it, probably because I either stopped having the free time and/or my excitement calmed down a little bit.

Every now and then I get the urge to re-watch a well-liked series (or at least, some specific episodes) or a movie, though even then it's not often I actually follow up on that thought by doing it.

As for the question the thread asks in the first place, I think I went through Gaim quicker than other shows, since the very serialised nature made it really easy for me to just thoughtlessly load up the next episode, and there's not a lot of natural 'stopping points' that occurred to me while binging.

It was only around the middle of Ghost/start of Ex-Aid where I started tuning in regularly to each week of Rider and haven't stopped since.
