Anime wears thin
Nov. 30th, 2006 01:19 amI've pretty much fallen out of the anime fandom.
Over the past two years I've only finished three series (Trinity Blood, Loveless and Sukisyo), and I've not been in a fandom since around February of last year.
I think the main reason for this eventual decent is simply that I don't get to watch much anime nowadays. Back when I was at my "peak", I attended a club and thus got exposed to all sorts of new stuff. But clubs aren't really my thing anymore, so I just don't get to indulge myself.
Also, my lack of internets make it impossible to hit ye olde BitTorrent. Plus I'm a bit slack when it comes to leeching off people; "I'll have to get that series off you sometime."
Then there's my general fussiness. I'm insanley picky about everything, from food to choosing a mate to other peoples' shitty drawings. Poor ol' Megan and Byorn were trying to help me pick a manga in Minotaur but I kept turning my nose up at everything presented to me: "Oh God, school based crap." "I hate fantasy!" "Mecha? What do you take me for, a peasent?!" "I'm not even going to consider that until the girls in it learn to close their legs."
I mentioned a while ago what I like in anime, and people came up with some good answers but again, I suck at leaching.
So I guess I'm turning my back on anime in general. This makes conventions even more futile. Well, that and the fact that I've recently had to come to terms about being an introvert.
Ugh.
