>lifespan
does the japanese cold / isekai truck get them or do they get another hobby?

Sudden Isekei Death Syndrome

Where does this sentiment come from? I've been watching anime my whole life, to the point where it eventually became the only type of media I really watch.

I think what OP means is that the average person who just gets into anime in the current decade is a millennial "tourist" with a low attention span who'll watch a handful of modern classics for a year or two, try to watch seasonal anime for a few months and get turned off thinking they've watched the best anime and that all there is left is throw-away seasonal stuff so they get bored and move onto another hobby for two years, repeating the same process.

Yeah just look at ironic weebs

do you emulate the mannerisms you see in anime?

Not unless I'm making a joke to some really close friends of mine. Most people don't respond well to that.

Post more cute Aois.

Can confirm. I've been watching anime for ~3-4 years now, have seen virtually every single show and movie worth a damn (and no, I don't mean 250 anime in total) and I've started to lose my interest. If you really nolife this hobby AND have some standards (e.g. don't watch second seasons of series' you didnt at least like, drop at least 30% of the TV anime you start, watch airing seasonal for no more than 2 years tops) you'll grow tired of anime fairly quickly. Since most people only resonate towards a handful of genres and outright dismiss everything else, I'd be surpriesd if it even was 2 years. Probably closer to 3 sesaons (9 months in total) for 3 1cour shounen sequels.

ive only been "seriously" watching for 2 years , ie started watching seasonals in spring 2017 iirc
however i do enjoy watching nearly anything (except harems and or isekai)
i could honestly watch anime til the day i die i feel

I've been watching anime for a bit over 5 years and I still feel like a massive newfag who still has a ton of stuff to watch.

Not him but I've noticed I've become very facially expressive, which I assume is from anime

>I've been watching anime for ~3-4 years now

No you haven't
>you'll grow tired of anime fairly quickly
Stop projecting. Just because you don't actually like watching anime doesn't mean others don't either.

>No you haven't
I have. Sorry user, but I don't think you get what no-lifing means. You finish 4 1-cour shows/10+ movies in a single day, adn that doesn't even account for dropping shows midway. I've seen virtually anything of note from the 30s to the 10s. Be it the Nihon Art Eiga Senshuu collection or shitty Tamabi Academy shorts, the entirety of the Laputa animation list bar Astro Boy, normalfag MAL top X-hundred anime, Media Awards winners and nominees, any short or movie worth a damn, boatloads of shitty OVA schlock from the 80s and 90s and whatnot. Unlike you, I don't consider Code Geass spinoff movies or the 6th season of Natsume to be worthwhile content, so I don't count those.

My love for the susumes is eternal

This is the first season I haven't picked anything up. What does it mean?

Probably true but should be less, thank good casuals get over it fast, by the way I am anime fan for more than 30 years and I am also not a nostalgiafag, nostalgia may be sign you either grew out of the medium or never really liked the medium in first place.

I never understood why someone would just stop watching anime. Like would you just never read another book cause you have a "lifespan" as a reader? Never watch another movie? Just stop playing video games one day? Right now I'm in the prime of my life free time wise, so I assume once full time work and having kids and stuff cut into that I won't be watching multiple shows per season/working throw my backlog like I do now, but I can't see myself ever not watching anime/reading manga.

Jesus. What were some of your favorites?

Well most people aren't hyper autistic so you are the exception and not the rule. If you had paced yourself and added other activities into your life like eating and sleeping you could have enjoyed anime for decades.

This is the first season in 10 year that I watch significantly less. Am I getting tired of it, or is this season just exceptionally shit? At least there's Senko-san and Bocchi.

I have the feeling anime changed a lot between the 90ies and now. The early 00s killed gritty OVAs and swamped the market with late night anime instead. At some point scifi-like shows (even mecha) vanished almost completely, and the only long running shows are shounen shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if this alienated fans that were used to 90ies anime.

This season doesn't have much. Usually there are around 4 shows I really look forward to but this season there are only 2 and the rest are just ok.

Some peoples hobbies change. I listened to podcasts for over 10 years, through my PSP or even burning them to CD-Rs before I got a smartphone. Then I lost interest over a few months; I realized a lot of the good shows I listened to had ended and I was just finding other things to fill my time with. I imagine people might feel the same way towards other hobbies.

ohhh you mean do they stop liking anime after 2 years
i thought you meant they die

Is there a difference?

what like spiritually or like suicide after epistemic boredom

people are dead if they dont watch anime
