Divided attention is my guess. I can't do it though. I've tried — like I'll pull my phone and look up IMDb or ANN/BtVA (like IMDb but for anime; IMDb only shows the foreign cast most of the time and I want to know who voices the characters I'm listening to, not in another language) but I feel like I miss stuff.
