i don't know if it's a good or bad thing i can't get myself to watch ongoing series. it prevents me from watching all of the never-ending anime (aka bleach, naruto, one piece) and all the other ongoing series until i have a chunk of episodes. is anime more enjoyable watching it week by week? and if it is then anyone have any tips to help me break my pet peeve of watching ongoing series?

morrefule:
it is the same for me so no worries.  I watch Naruto S. in 5 episode blocks cause i can't stand the waiting for the long drawn out fights, but bleach i'll watch weekly since it is generally like DBZ and I was a Big DBZ fan back in the day.

But I do the same thing for shorter series like Darker than Black i'll watch in 3 to 5 episode blocks and Canaan i'm going to marathon in one straight shot.

Depends.

Personally I don't mind watching it week by week but in saying that I am usually watching at least 5 other things from the current season of anime so it gets mixed in and I never really feel like I get bored of it. So I even download normal shows week by week as they come out.

For the main 3. Bleach, Naruto and One Piece. Bleach I used to watch in 2-3 week chucks but now I download week by week. Naruto I get off a friend once every 3 months or so. One Piece I am yet to catch up to current, only up to 199. And I see no problem with any of those methods.

Really though it personal preference. I know many people who can't stand the commitment to characters or usually get bored once the storyline evolves from its original story arc.

As for how to break the pet peeve. I wouldn't know. You could try watching it in season chunks and waiting till the next season ends before continuing. Or fill it in with series that are like your on-going series. If you are watching Naruto then watch something with ninjas or martial arts as a base. Bleach could focus on swords or something.

However you have to think. If you are getting annoyed at a series then maybe its not for you. Not everything is for everyone.

My problem with ongoing series is that. . .I cant fkin wait for the next episode.

dbml:
It depends on the series in question. If it's a short series (13 episodes or so) I have no problems watching it every week. If it's a longer series/never ending one, I wait until it's completed/in batches.
