>barely watch anime anymore due to burn out
>watch mostly western stuff now
>still only find 2D girls attractive
I don't know how anyone can watch anime for any length of time and then say that real life females/humans are attractive. Even the "gorgeous" ones just look gross and weird to me now.
>>28269018
When I burned out on anime it took me a bit to get used to 3D too yet but you get there eventually. Maybe it's stockholm syndrome.
>>28269018
What is an anime burnout?
Is it when you watch anime for too long and it isn't interesting any more?
This might be why I pace myself whenever I have too much fun watching a series. I have to go do something else for a while to avoid the overload. Unfortunately that makes it less fun too.
Do you recover after a burnout?
>>28269195
Anime tropes are incredibly repetitive and after a while of watching stuff it just gets old. I watched anime from 15-19, 22 now and still rarely watch any.
Same feel.
>mfw a girl got all bubbly and giggly around me
stop anytime
>>28269195
I'm getting too old for any of it to relate to me effectively anymore. I'm 26, and I've been watching pretty much nothing but anime since I was 18. I watched it before that, of course, but I didn't start following seasons and shit until I was in college.
But yes, I meant "too much anime" when I said burnout. I mostly just enjoy looking at pictures of cute girls now.
>>28269339
>I mostly just enjoy looking at pictures of cute girls now.
I think that's the ultimate step short of drawing it yourself.
I'm hoping I'll never get tired of watching anime desu.
>>28269426
I used to draw before I seriously watched animu. I always liked anime-inspired video games, though, and I still really only enjoy jap games.
Thing is, while I can hardly stand watching anime anymore, I still love it. I look back on it very fondly. Those years of watching anime in college were actually very pleasant. It feels like I wasted my time, since I have nothing to show for all of it, but at least I had fun, which I haven't had in at least 2 years now.
>>28269527
I feel you. That's how i look back on almost all my anime-watching experiences.
I like to think that I'll be getting old in my 90s sitting in a sunny villa and re-watching all my favorite stuff and nobody else will remember what the fuck it is.
>>28269579
I don't think I'll make it beyond my 60's. I fully expect to have a heart attack on my toilet and die eventually.
I miss enjoying things. Nothing fills me with joy anymore. Just about everything I consume reminds me that my life is bad and it will only get worse.
My heart prefers 2D but my dick prefers 3D
There is a serious lack of good anime, that is the problem.
Everyone watches the popular anime. They usually stick to one genre and eventually branch out.
Die hard fans join anime forums, discuss it etc. etc they watch it for a couple years.
It gets to a point where they have watched every good anime out there. There is a large amount of good anime, but the people who REALLY enjoy anime end up watching the wide majority of anime worthwhile. Even if they dont watch the majority they'll watch enough that everything in comparison to what they've already watched is either too similar or just not good.
Manga is different, lots of hidden gems, but the deterioration of someone who reads/watches Japanese shit a lot usually comes first.
>>28269816
How many good series do you think there are?
I don't watch anime anymore but I still love 2D porn and I'd be adding to my collection every day if my gf didn't have a problem with it
>>28269890
>I'd be adding to my collection every day if my gf didn't have a problem with it
Why would she?
>>28269905
cause she's a controlling bitch and the guy is a pussy whipped faggot.
>>28269890
>telling your gf about your anime porn
why bother? what would you gain from this? how would she even enforce her desire of not wanting you to download shit on your own computer?
i hate cucks. bacc to reddit you go
>>28269816
>There is a serious lack of good anime, that is the problem.
>There is a large amount of good anime
Lol.
But anyway, manga obviously has more variety, but finding good scans and then keeping up with the release schedule is just fucking miserable beyond words.
>>28269866
Well depends on standards obviously. However most people do not start off with decent/mediocre anime, they always go to the "top 10 [insert genre] here". However some people go to long running series, but thats a different topic.
I think for the majority of people there are about 300-650 anime that are good enough to watch. This is a really rough estimate though. Again the numbers vary a lot.
More likely than not it ends up how I said, people's minds deteriorate and they dont enjoy anime anymore. That or they just grow out of it.
Most people here on /r9k/ havent reached this since they're prob late teenagers or early 20's, still in college. aka: normies. However browsing other chans and sites people have expressed this feeling.
Comparing it to music is the easiest way to see it. Music is just easier to consume than anime or manga however and there it's more dense as a medium.
>>28269984
What is your point?
As I just stated there is not enough good anime for people to enjoy for a long period of time. However there is a lot of good anime.
I've been circling the 2D drain for a while now. I deleted almost all of my porn, gravure videos and non-porn 3D pictures because I was hardly looking at them and they were taking up space that could be better used for anime and such.
>>28269816
>There is a serious lack of good anime
There isn't, and there's at least 30 new shows every three months.
Watching the top 50 most popular anime doesn't mean you've seen all the good anime.
>>28270063
>There is at least 30 new shows every three months.
For some people yes. However this mindset for you will not last. As you grow older and as you watch more and more anime you'll notice. I'm going to assume you're early 20s? Most people notice this in their late 20s early 30s.
Now this isnt to say you cant limit how much you watch anime and enjoy it for a longer period of time.
>Watching the top 50 most popular anime doesn't mean you've seen all the good anime.
Are you reading my posts? I clearly said there was 300-650 good anime. Of course the number may grow as you say, but I would disagree that its 30 new shows every three months.
Also I want to clarify. Anime girls are still supreme.
Being an EOP is your problem.
>>28270017
Because those statements sound fucking silly together.
>>28270063
You think are 120 good shows released a year? You have incredibly low standards.
Which, I mean, is good for you, because you get to enjoy more stuff.
>>28270150
>For some people yes.
The number doesn't somehow fluctuate based on who you are.
>As you grow older and as you watch more and more anime you'll notice. I'm going to assume you're early 20s? Most people notice this in their late 20s early 30s.
I'm in my thirties and I've seen over 400 shows I think. I have a backlog of 300 shows and more gets added frequently.
>>28270239
Where did I say anything about the quality of the at least 30 shows that come out every season?
>>28270305
Were all of those 400 shows worth watching?
How many of those 400 do you think are really good?
>>28270150
Pretty accurate.
I'm 26 and lost interest in anime recently, at about 410 series. Everything beyond that point is derivative to a serious degree. I'm still watching a few things, but it's mostly to pass time. Of course, if I'd watched 400 films or western television series, I'd probably feel the same way. I can name maybe 10 western shows that I think are worth watching, and most of them are HBO dramas.
It's probably time to just move onto books and then only consume narratives/stories once in a while.
But anime girls? Anime girls are fucking sublime, and always will be. They're so gorgeous and wonderful. I can't even fathom not loving them forever.
>>28270351
I don't obsess over that shit. I don't know if something is worthwhile or not in advance, I watch it and it either is or it isn't. Then I watch something else. Most shows have at least something going for them, and the more shows you see the better your view of the big picture of anime gets.
And most movies, TV shows, video games and music albums aren't "really good" so I don't know why you're applying such different standards to anime.
>>28270408
Again, how many of those 410 were worth watching and how many would you judge as really good?
>>28270239
I did not use the correct wording. My bad.
>>28270305
I highly doubt your claim of being in your thirties. However, if you are telling the truth, when did you start watching anime on a large scale?
400 is not a lot for people I've talked too. If anime if your only hobby and you're lucky I wouldnt be surprised if you watched 700+ anime and were satisfied. However you will hit a wall. It's just unavoidable.
>>28270408
It is similar with western films and series, I hope i did not imply otherwise.
Re-watching anime can add extra time I assume. But out of every good anime someone watches there is even a smaller amount worth rewatching (less and less depending on the amount of times you've rewatched a show)
>>28270463
I think it's a different person.
i watch one show every season
>>28270462
>>28270462
I'm not applying any standards, I'm just curious. I've only seen 60 or so anime myself, so I'm still relatively new and would like to know more.
>>28270504
>I highly doubt your claim of being in your thirties.
And why would you doubt that?
>However, if you are telling the truth, when did you start watching anime on a large scale?
Somewhere around 2012. Maybe a little earlier.
>However you will hit a wall. It's just unavoidable.
Projection.
>>28270539
There is a lot more anime than most people imagine. Most of it has been forgotten. Aside from the shows I've seen and have in my backlog I have 135 OVAs waiting to be watched and 57 movies, and there's still huge amounts of stuff beyond those. I keep running into stuff I've never even heard of. There's no end to it.
>tfw finished the monster musume manga today
>tfw desperate for more but have to wait for the new chapter
>>28270463
Not the same guy you were talking to.
Most of them were worth watching, otherwise I wouldn't have fucking watched them. People are deeply pretentious when it comes to mass entertainment, because it's easy to consume and analyze works and then act like there is some secret knowledge gained by liking the right things.
But if you're wondering how many I, personally, would say are REALLY GOOD-probably like 30 or 40 of them. By REALLY GOOD I mean: well-produced, well-written, thoughtfully constructed, decently paced, solidly concluded and gain something by being animated rather than made live action.
Those girls are 14 you sick bastard
>>28270676
maybey read different monstergirl stuff
>>28270637
Where do you find forgotten series?
Are they all on MAL?

Were there any among those that you've never seen mentioned anywhere before?
>>28270708
Get back to your cuck thread, you fucking loser.
>>28270717
I would but I can't see any monstergirl stuff being better than monster musume, plus there would be no best girls Suu and Miia
>>28270637
>And why would you doubt that?
Because you are not reaching the same state of mind the other 30+ people I have talked to. That and you way of formatting your post, but thats probably me being autistic.
>Somewhere around 2012. Maybe a little earlier.
That makes a lot of sense. I'm not trying to be rude to you here, don't get me wrong. But you will eventually lose interest in all anime. 4 years isn't that long for such a hobby. Especially if you started it when you were around 25.
>Projection
Just look at the other people in this thread. Also I have not lost interest in anime. I started limiting how much I watched it and I've forced myself to slow down on anime watching. I feel its more enjoyable to watch a series over the course of a week or two (depending on length) than binge watching it, like I did previously.
I want to clarify also that mind detororation and lack of good, engaging anime do work hand in hand and everything varies.
And I am also not >>28270735
>>28270679
I agree with the numbers here.
>>28270735
The REALLY GOOD anime are not usually mentioned on top 10 lists or anything. REALLY GOOD is almost always preferences about slightly obscure shows. Ones that are made for more niche audiences that really appeal to certain people. Not to say they aren't mentioned at all. They are usually mentioned a decent amount on anime-related sites.
>>28270735
>Were there any among those that you've never seen mentioned anywhere before?
Oh yeah, at least half of the titles just appeared in my mind spontaneously with corresponding URLs to obtain the files. They aren't listed on ANY sites and only the chosen weeaboos have watched them.
Did I mentioned you get special powers after seeing at least 5 of the Divine Anime Series?

>>28270735
I mean they're forgotten in the sense that they're never or rarely mentioned anywhere, as opposed to something like Gundam, Evangelion or Bebop. They may have even been popular once. Or they have been seen by hardly anyone.
To Heart is a real gem but you'll never see anyone mention it.
Anime is shit. I just want a yuri where the characters act like actual fucking human beings. Christ.
please can someone rec me something like yuru yuri
I became addicted to this show and burned through it in three days
I need more

monstergirls was literally its only appeal, remove that and it becomes indistinguishable from the dozens of other harem series.

I've been watching anime since about 2000, but it just didn't really ramp up until 2012 or whenever it was.
Just because some people lose interest in anime entirely or partially doesn't mean everyone will.

No, you don't. There's nothing cute about real girls, hence the combination of unrealistically adorable anime girls and their silly, overly embellished, unrealistic affection for one another. That's fucking MOE.
if you just want dyke romance, there's plenty of that shit in western film and television, and I'm sure you can find a whole stack of lesbo-lit without much trouble. If you just don't like anime but like "yuri", stop using the weeb term for dyke shit.
If there's one sort of faggot I hate, it's the sort of faggot that criticizes cartoons for not being mirror images of reality.
By the way,go fuck yourself.
>>28271010
thx senpai. is it also a yuri series like yuru?

Totally seconded.

A-Channel, Strike Witches and Sakura Trick might also be worth looking into.

Re-read my post.

It WILL happen. If it isn't the quality of anime then it will be mind deterioration. It's not like books or music. Maybe you'll be incredibly lucky and enjoy it till your 50. But you'll be an incredible minority in that scenario.
>>28271034
Calm down there, autist.

thanks. what's your favorite yuri/cute anime?
>>28271115
Strike Witches seconded, great anime with lots of cute butts
>>28271118
>It WILL happen.
Sorry that you have burnout or something but that's your problem, not anyone else's.
>If it isn't the quality of anime then it will be mind deterioration.
What mind deterioration?
Given that Westerners have been actively watching anime mostly since the late 90s and most likely started young, we don't exactly have a big pool of 50-something current or former anime viewers to study. We would also have to account for people stopping because they get a wife and kids and find other things to do (which I don't have to worry about).
>>28271153
I guess it would be Yuru Yuri for yuri and Hidamari Sketch for cute. Aoi Hana is also great but it's not the same kind of yuri.
>>28271266
>Sorry that you have burnout or something but that's your problem, not anyone else's.
I assume you are not the same person? Because I have clearly stated I am not burnt out. I limit my anime watching and still enjoy it as a medium.
>What mind deterioration?
The people who are watching anime at a rate rate where they have already seen 400+ shows are hurting their mind. Just google it, will give a better explanation.

What you're looking for, anon, is CGDCT. In my opinion, CGDCT is only worth watching it it offers at least a little humor, because, while anime is rarely genuinely funny, the atmosphere of comedy is soothing and facilitates the cuteness and character interactions.
Above is a list of premium CGDCT that you will find useful. If anime could be crushed up and turned into drug analogs, CGDCT would be the equivalent of morphine.Battle shounen is cocaine cut with paint thinner
>>28271323
thank you so much anon. I agree, animes like these are like heroin to me. I will now go ahead and overdose.
>>28271320
You sound like you're having burnout to me when you're this insistent that I have to lose interest in anime eventually.
>The people who are watching anime at a rate rate where they have already seen 400+ shows are hurting their mind.
I engage with anime critically. I have read over 20 books and many papers and I watch documentaries and so on. And I do things besides watch anime.
And what am I even supposed to Google?
>>28271454
Just remember that rehab is a bitch, and you'll keep grasping for similar shows with little luck once you've consumed not only the entirety of what could be considered CGDCT, but the stuff only tangentially related to it.
Soon, you'll be like us, roleplaying as cute anime girls on this vile board, hoping to regain the magic you know you'll never get again.
I want to grind up Lucky Star and Yuru Yuri and shoot them both into each of my testicles when I die.
>>28271320
>The people who are watching anime at a rate rate where they have already seen 400+ shows are hurting their mind. Just google it, will give a better explanation.
There's just so much going on in this sentence to mock, ridicule and criticize.

I should have added Girls und Panzer and Strike Witches to my CGDCT list, too.
Strike Witches in particular. It's a show only a true moe lover will understand. I would like to express my disdain for anyone that dislikes SW for any reason.
It could even be argued that SW is the ultimate culture culmination of Japanese-American relations after WW2.

>>28269279
>tripfag
I doubt your over 15.
At 25 I watch more anime than ever, mostly because I have more free time to do so than ever.
the only people who ''grow out of anime'' never enjoyed it in the first place. anime, like all cartoons and animation, is a medium not a genre.
Its like saying ''i grew out of listening to music'' or ''i grew out of liking movies''.
You can say "i grew out of liking shonen" or "i watch less because now I only enjoy SOL and dont keep up with every haremshit a season". Same as "i grew up and cant watch HBO flavor of the year shows" "I stopped liking zombie movies after the millionth one".
This thread is retarded, as anime is (again) a medium or portraying a story and your posting about it like its a single genre. And if your argument is 'well many arnt good' the same can be applied to literally everything -food, video games, movies, tv shows.
>>28272606
No, anime is not a medium. Animation is a medium. "anime" is a regional subset of "animation" that includes a shitton of recognizable tropes, plot devices and structures.
Given how little anime doesn't adhere to the above-mentioned, you'd have to be a fucking retarded faggot to think you can't outgrow anime. Just because someone can still enjoy the occasional jap cartoon doesn't mean it's inaccurate to say that someone has outgrown anime.
It's incredible that you can't figure out what a medium is, given how literal an interpretation that should be, but you're still so autistic you can't figure out why people just say "I've outgrown anime" instead of "I've outgrown the basic features of 99.9999999 percent of all anime series and barely watch it anymore".
>>28272832
anime stands for 'japanimation', which just means 'animation originating in japan'. Its a medium, not a genre, and your fucking retarded.
>shitton of recognizable tropes, plot devices and structures.
if you think this, you need to watch more anime besides whatever facebook and reddit are hyping for the month.
>>28272832
You can get bored of anime and move on, but talking about outgrowing it suggests it's a developmental phase that people are supposed to leave behind.
Toshio Okada has said that otaku is something an adult evolves into.
>>28272969
Actually, anime just means "animation" in Japanese; it's still a subset of the actual medium, which is animation, and has its own recognizable features, you stupid cumstain. It might not be a genre (notice that I never said it was), but it sure as fuck isn't a medium.
YOU need to watch more anime if you think there aren't common features throughout almost all of it. You ignored basically everything I said because you know I'm right anyway, so go fuck yourself. After some 400 shows (not counting movies and OVAs) I think I can safely say I've seen enough to comment on anime generally. You're either being willfully obtuse or are just a stupid fucking child with so little experience with other media that you can't recognize it yet.
>>28273264
>talking about outgrowing it suggests it's a developmental phase that people are supposed to leave behind

>>28273373
If you assume that animation is somehow intrinsically juvenile, which it isn't. Being obsessed with appearing "mature" is also itself not very mature.
I often look at some live action stuff that's supposed to be for real proper adults and just think that you'd have to be a teenager going through a bad edgy phase to have any interest in them (wow, this guy gets his dick chopped off! Now I really feel like an adult for watching this!).
>>28273303
and all western movies have a sex scene and people speaking english, that doesnt make you outgrow both the walking dead and gone with the wind. your talking out of your ass and trying to use smuganimeimage#1046 doesnt make you correct it just makes you an idiot. Your entire argument is 'japanese based animation sometimes has similar tropes' no fucking way, and do they also speak japanese? Do you outgrow and get tired of anime because they usually eat rice?
fuck off.
>>28269018

I used love video games, and played them for hours on end when I was in high school.

all the "classic" vn's that are highly praised that i've read (ever17, f/sn + tsukihime, higurashi, himawari no shoujo, etc.) have all had art that ranged from terrible to somewhat acceptable. maybe i just haven't read enough (can't justify putting in the effort to learn japanese for such an autistic hobby when i should be putting what little energy i have toward making myself employable so i don't end up homeless one day)

i assure you, the rest of I/O looks just as bad. i figured it would be good as it's by one of the dudes behind ever17, but i wasn't really feeling it after 3 or so routes

I know Tsukihime was made by a doujin group and Higurashi was largely made by one guy.

Well yeah, those are all 10+ years old, so that's why all the art looks like crap. Anime looked pretty jacked up back then too compared to now.
And in terms of modern releases that are translated, there haven't been a whole lot so you haven't really missed much that you can read.
Both Rewrite and Grisaia have gotten a lot of hype for relatively new, translated VNs, but I thought they were just OK.

Im about to start watching anime for the very first time in my life (im 20 for reference).
Feels good knowing that I will get hooked and will get to experience that high for the first time.
I know the feel, OP. In fact, I first felt it over fifteen years ago when I was but a shota.
I will probably be watching anime well into my 50s, if I make it that long.
25 now.
