Weekly watching.
It allows time for the viewer to digest each episode, encourages better writing from the showrunners and keeps the show in conversations longer.
I used to have a lot of time to do Binge watching shows back in early 2020s, but mostly these days I prefer Weekly watching. However if it is an mini-series or an one/two season series then I would prefer Binge watching.
- I don't want to watch content I've waited a year for all in one day
- A week gives people time to process and think about each episode, rather than just rushing to the next one
- Weekly watching keeps hype and discussions surrounding a show alive for longer
Weekly makes it easier especially for new seasonal anime. Netflix is cool and all but trying to consume all of one season minus stuff like the ranma 1/2 remake and the latest Kinnikuman anime can be overwhelming to remember everything all at once lol
I was one of those kids that would’ve killed for what we have now but I was also smart enough to understand that when given it, it would be a horrible experience.
That said. Some things do benefit from binging. Not many but some.
Depends on the show. Sometimes the way you watch a show/how often you do can cause you to process things differently. I.E Steven Universe’s airing schedule versus just watching it back to back in your own time.
Weekly all the way, what your watching tends to stick with you more and be less of a blur if you take time in-between viewing each episode instead of watching multiple all at once, plus it lasts longer that way.

but i think weekly watching allows better growth of fandoms and excitement for the show
For shows that released weekly it’s a lot more easier and feels better to pause after episodes
