Why can't I enjoy anime anymore? Its all just white noise to me now. The hot garbage blends into the kino; the moeblob and the isekai and the battle shounen and the rest of it all feel the same to me. Am I burnt out? Can I ever go back to enjoying it like I used to?

Elijah Evans
are you me?
Lincoln Rodriguez
Yeah, probably
Juan Taylor
Clean your room.
Angel James
I was the same like you, then I started reading gook and chink comics/novels.
Nicholas Mitchell
its not you its a known fact that anime quality degrade every year
Mason Richardson
even the old stuff just doesnt do it for me though
David Roberts
it means they were bad in the first place
Jose Parker
Instructions unclear, dick stuck in depressive state
Colton Campbell
Bullshit. 2017 and 2018 were some of the best years due to sheer number of goods anime that aired. 2019 was pretty average, some good stuff, but not much and nothing groundbreaking.
2020 is hot garbage. Worse than 2014 and that's quite the feat.
Blake Anderson
does this mean all anime is shit?
Levi Brown
No, only that your taste is unrefined. Of course nostalgia shit like Haruhi won't hold up when you leave adolescence.
Carson Wilson
This isnt a rec thread so i wont ask you for names. What qualities make a show enjoyable for adults. I only recently turned 20, and a lot of my favorite stuff is just noise to me now.
Blake Myers
>20
you never liked anime if you're burnt out
Landon Phillips
Take a break from watching anime.
Go read manga in the meantime instead.
Nolan Young
Stop treating art as consumer goods - a mindless entertainment to get dopamine rush. Find meaning in it. Watch more anime.
It's a perfectly normal thing.
Lucas Evans
2020 was shaping up to be good, but then everything worthwhile except Kaguya got delayed.
Evan Thomas
Same. As said, I’m not sure if I ever enjoyed it. I’m 27 now and only read manga.
Alexander Campbell
You and I have irreconcilable tastes.
Carter Jackson
I promise I liked anime before this hit me
The solution is to slog through?
Samuel Bell
find something you like and read other manga in the same magazine/watch the anime for the manga
I don't know why someone else has to tell you how to find things
Sebastian Green
>The solution is to slog through?
Go on M*L and look at each season, year by year, and inspect every anime. Give chance to everything that you think you might possibly enjoy. Never force yourself to start, much less finish something you know with absolute certainty you won't enjoy.
But more importantly, work on yourself. Your taste changes when you grow as a man. Pick up a philosophy book.
Alexander Wright
It means you're depressed. Buy pills at taxpayers' expense so that you may enjoy consuming endlessly some more.
Joshua Gutierrez
>Why can't I enjoy anime anymore?
It's simple. Anime isn't good anymore. A lot of it is low budget, and studios don't seem like they're even trying these days. Even big budget BATTLE SHOUNEN like Dragonball Super sometimes looks like shit in terms of animation. So what do you expect for your average run off the mill piece of crap that nobody's ever heard about
Colton Scott
Not necessarily. Some of the most profund experiences with anime or art in general I had when depressed.
Zachary Wilson
Just turn your brain off and watch Baruto retard
Landon Hill
You're depressed. The inability to enjoy pleasurable activities is a symptom.
Owen Barnes
I started reading fanfiction and now I feel like I'm dumber for it since most of it is total garbage written by autists.
Cooper Thompson
Same. I just finished ISSTH and caught up with ATG. I wish Chinks and Koreans made more anime that was Japanese tier quality. They are really bad. Tencent seems to have a ton of money, but they don't put any effort into their animation studios
Jack Stewart
You're burnt out on the medium
Take a break and come back to it later
Easton Rogers
>since most of it is total garbage written by autists
Unironically same issue with anime.
Isaiah Rodriguez
What anime did you use to enjoy?
Levi Collins
You're depressed.
Mason Ortiz
No, Kill yourself zoomer retard
Ayden Davis
I liked konosuba for its humor, but now I dont find it funny any more. I liked monogatari for its.. ahem.. plot.. but it just seems meaningless now. I liked youjo senki for it's themes but it seems basic to me on rewatch.
Colton Thomas
You've made the common mistake by building a large part of your identity around a certain type of media. And because you're overly attached to that identity, you're misguidedly trying to fix something that will only get worse by doing so, when it would heal on its own just by leaving it alone for a while. Stop being an anime fan and just simply be a person who does things he enjoys. I certainly don't try to shove down every garbage anime down my throat just because it's a cartoon made in Japan, I watch what I enjoy and spend the rest of my time doing something else. Also, read manga.
Brayden Mitchell
best advice ITT so far
Julian Sullivan
So you watched a bunch of shitshows and you realized that they're shitshows, so now you think all anime is shit. The nihilist stage of a weeb. Congrats, most don't even make it that far and will probably end up consuming isekai until they die.
Christopher Nelson
>qualities for adults
Ye, no wonder guys like you are burnt out, you're looking for "adult qualities" in chinese cartoons.
Anime is all about embracing your inner child and you're doing it all wrong.
JAM Project and Kageyama himself stated he created JAM so that people can always remember the hearts they once possessed in their childhood
This rings true
Gabriel Turner
Somehow I dont really feel accomplished
My soul is dead and so is my childhood, I'm just going to watch CGDCT until I die I guess.
Joshua Morris
okay so you like SoL
then you aren't burnt out you just like SoL
what are you on about
