TIL I picked the 12 episode show over the 50 episode one and finished it in 4 days
So last month I was stuck between two shows for my weeknight wind down. One was a long shonen thing with like 50 episodes, the other was a short 12 episode one that everyone kept saying was a slow burn. I went with the short one because I wanted to actually finish something instead of adding to my pile. Turned out to be the right call. I watched it in 4 days flat, and the pacing felt tight the whole way, no filler arcs, no recap episodes. My buddy picked the long one and he's still on episode 31 and keeps texting me that he's losing steam. Now I'm wondering if I dodged a bullet or if I'm just too impatient for the long haul stuff anymore. How do you all decide when to commit to something that long?
