Yep. I watch some tv series just to scratch that itch. For anime, I usually read the synopsis. If I don't like it, I put it on the back burner, maybe because I'm not in the right mindset to watch it (?). At a later dates if I want to go in deeper because people keep hyping on it, I just read each episode's summary or discuss it someone who really likes it just to see what I'm missing.

There are anime that I watched just cause - turn off my brain & enjoy the ride. I look at watching anime like eating food, if you keep eating high-class cuisines everyday, you may be missing & missing-out on eating all the average/trashy foods. Who gives a f**k if it's not good for you. Sometimes, in life you just need to yolo :)
