Completely, maybe not, but for the past couple of years I was only watching three or four shows a year, instead of three or four a month in my early 2000s heyday. I'm trying to get back into it, but almost everything I try is bad (which is why I slowed down in the first place) so it's not going very well.

It depends on what happens to the market. If studios decide to get lazy and just mass-produce titles that will sell, without actually bothering to make them interesting or fun to watch, I'll probably stop watching anime and stick to games at some point. Even now, I'm only following 4-5 series, but as long as the seasons have as many as a single good anime, I'll definitely give it a shot.

As long as it's easily accessible, as long as there's something to suit my taste however it changes, as long as western live action entertainment is intent on living episode by episode instead of having a clear end in mind, and as long teh waifus r purdy, I see no reason to stop. It helps this is less of a hobby and more my default choice for entertainment.

As long as there are relaxing slice-of-life anime in conjunction with a good sci-fi anime, not a chance in heck I'm stopping
Current anime are satisfactory as far as quality goes: just because an anime is current does not mean, by any means, that they're lacking.

I stopped for a while, I started watching back in the mid-late 90s, ran a some-what successful anime review site in the early 00s. Then I started college and began partying and I was also getting pretty deep into my car hobby with car shows and street racing. Then about 3-4 years ago me and my wife (then she was my girlfriend) got a apartment together and I was finishing my second time in college (partied a little bit to much the first time) so I was spending more time at home and started watching anime again. I'm not a otaku like I used to be, I only watch a couple shows a season, catching up on some shows I missed on my hiatus and I perfer dubs now, like I would rather watch a bad dub then a good sub lol. I was thinking of starting a anime review site or Youtube channel and focus on the average fan (some of the reviewers out there are way to obsessed and are hard till watch) but between my career, family life, and my car hobby I don't have the time

I completely dropped animes out of my freetime activities, together with 99% of manga reading. Not because it has gotten "bad", but I simply became indifferent about them or hugly annoyed (romance dramas!). It happend rather indirectly, though, so no "hard feelings" had been involved. I switched completely to gaming and - for my daily romance dosage - to Visual Novels.

Sometimes I got a pause for a year or two because of obsessing over something else or having real life issues, but I always come back. To make me stop perheps it has to be in war with Japan and all my collections destroyed, or I'm not in the condition to watch anything anymore
