If you are like me, someone who watches 2-3 series in one week and follows 5 new series on the side, you might have realized an awful and horrific future. Soon or later, we are going to run out of animes to watch.

I've started watching anime just over a year now, so far, I have watched around 1400 hours worth of anime. Before I didn't realize it, but now that I'm more picky about the anime that I watch, there are less and less animes to watch. By my calculations, within a year or two, I will be caught up to my 'Plan to Watch'. What will I do after that? I watch anime everyday whenever I have time; I watch anime religiously. What will I do when I caught up to my 'Plan to Watch' list? Wait for new episodes to come out every week? NOOO!! I REFUSE TO LIVE THAT LIFE!!! How do you expect me to live on 5-6 episodes of anime per week? It is just not possible. Even in my most desperate times, I refuse to lower my standards! I will not sell my soul and watch degrading animes! (I'm looking at you naruto and bleach. Fool me once shame you, Fool me twice shame on me)

I suppose I could simply move on to manga. But again, that will only last me so much. According to science, I will have about year before I catch up to my 'Plan to Watch' list. Currently I'm following about 8 manga series. Each volume takes me about 1-2 hour(s) and a new volume is released roughly about 2-3 months (from what I've seen). Which means manga will occupy me for about 8 hours per 3 months. AAGGHH!!!

I have about 2 years before this horrific future. Only watching 5 episodes per week, and 8 volumes every 3 months. What will I do after? fml.

Like many people out there I like to buy my manga, for various reasons. But the problem that I am keep getting into is the language. Lately I've been watching To Love-Ru (shut up I like it). So I've decided to read the manga as well, so I went to Amazon (where I buy all my manga), and searched, but only the DVDs came up. So I typed in numerous different alternative names and finally I've found it and I clicked on the 1st volume only to realize that it was in French, at this time I was extremely pissed. Not only I spent 15 minutes to find it, when I did find it it was in freakin' French. I mean if you are going to translate it into different language do it in English, "You know the language that is most widely used on Earth!" So instead of giving up and admit that I've wasted 20 minutes now, I tried my other manga stores, and of course they didn't have it either. This led me to wish that for first time in my life that I could speak French (or Japanese, probably Japanese)(Yes my username it Thatasianguy238, but I speak Korean not Japanese).

So I was just wondering, Does anyone else have the same problem?

P.S. Don't tell me to read online scans because they only cause eye strain, back pain, and sometimes carpal tunnel. Oh, also I hate the fact that the translations are not always right, and it bothers the heck out of me.
