Binge-watched My Hero Academia in 3 days and now I feel hollow

I tried to marathon the whole series in a weekend because I had time off from work. By day 2 I was on season 5 and my brain felt like mush from all the emotional highs and lows. The final episode hit me like a truck and I realized I absorbed nothing - I couldn't even remember half the character names. Now I'm sitting here wondering if anyone else has had that weird empty feeling after rushing through a show too fast. What's your limit for episodes in a single sitting before it stops being fun?

Ngl 72 episodes in 3 days is wild. I think the most I ever did was maybe 12 episodes of One Punch Man in a row and even that felt like too much after a while. Honestly that hollow feeling is real though, your brain just didn't have time to process anything. I bet you could watch a clip from season 2 right now and not even remember it. Tbh I think 4 or 5 episodes is my limit before it stops being fun, anything past that and I start checking my phone or losing track of the plot.

72 episodes in three days is just asking for trouble honestly. I did like 20 episodes of Naruto back in college and by the end I couldn't even remember half the characters' names. The hollow feeling hits different when you binge that hard... like your brain just short circuits from all the plot you didn't let settle.
