@Dan_ALves Ohhhhh... I see what you mean now.
My bad. π
You mentioned
Summer 2022. My interest in anime rekindled a little bit earlier: Fall of 2019 (when
Fruits Basket reboot series premiered). Those were my
good 'ol days. I was craving for manga and anime around those days. So, from Fall of 2019 to Fall of 2021, my dedication to watching anime/reading manga were limitless.
In your case, I think it's amazing you're still keen and interested to continue watching as many anime shows! You have the motivation! π. It's good that you have the motivation cause mine has been dwindling since Fall of 2021 (hence, the drop in the anime shows I've watched starting on Winter of 2022).
I'm aware of the shows I want to watch this anime season (like
Oshi no Ko: Season 2). But, right now, that's the only anime show I care about.
I could go back to the habit of watching more than one anime series per season, but lately, my heart is not just in other anime shows nor in any other manga series.
When I want to watch an anime series thoroughly (or read a manga series chapter by chapter), I need to have the mindset to be able to do so. Lately, the shows that I've been watching are just animated movies available on Netflix (animated movies by Dreamworks, Illumination, etc.) and some
Barbie movies available on YouTube.
Even if there are many anime shows available on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and other streaming platforms, I just want to return to Western media (even if it's only for a week or two).
When I dive straight into anime medium, I forgot to appreciate what the West has to offer (in terms of animated movies, I mean, as I couldn't care less about the animated TV series the West has to offer right now to its audience).
The Western animated movies are just the right length for me: they don't take too much of my time, they are consumable within an hour or two, etc.
But, when it comes to Japanese animation (I only watch Japanese animation as I don't care that much about other animated movies produced in China or other countries), I need my mind to be ready to consume lengthy series.
A 12-episode series is not that lengthy. But, still, I have to dedicate a few hours of my day or (a few hours of my two days) in order to finish a 12-episode anime series. And, if I'm intrigued by the 12-episode anime series, I also read the manga counterpart (so I can have an idea of the source material).
I hope my lust and love for anime and manga will return soon. I guess I'm still in an 80% hiatus mode (from anime and manga) given that my tendencies and desires have been rerouted to Western media in the past few days.
