…and find yourself binging by accident?
Most recently, Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song. Every episode ends on a twist or a shocking reveal, which just demands going on to the next one. The only thing that stopped me from watching it straight through was that I started it late enough in the evening that I fell asleep.
On the other end of my timeline, the first one that did that to me was Elfen Lied. I sat down to watch the first episode and see what it was about, and six hours later, I was still there, finishing up the last episode.
86 did that to me so thoroughly that I only have really clear memories of the early episodes and the late ones - most of the in-between is a blur.
Madoka Magica can still do that to me, even after all these years and rewatches. Just something about the way the story unfolds sweeps me along with it.
Akudama Drive too. It takes a bit to really get going, but it hits its stride at about episide 3, and doesn’t let up until the epic ending.
In a completely different vein, if my mood is right Nichijou will do it to me.

The most recent example I can think of is The Apothecary Diaries. When I decided to check it out after the first season aired, I entered a hyperbolic time chamber and suddenly came back to my senses after bingeing the whole season. The mystery building is just too good.
