When I watch a new show on TV in the United States I watch each show as it is released, one episode a week. Until recently I watched anime in a very different way, I would watch anime after all the episodes were released, usually four or five episodes at each sitting. This led to different viewing experience compared to US shows, albeit one that I did not choose. But marathoning anime is not the only choice anymore. With streaming anime, available hours after the Japanese broadcast, I can now watch Japanese shows in the same way I watch American ones. Now I have to choose which is better, marathoning a show or taking my time to watch one episode each week.
