Jesus Christ, I'm sick for a couple weeks and I come back to this thread to find entirely too many posts about I don't even fucking know what, and not enough posing.
Do you ever feel like the constant influx of new anime can get overwhelming or even off putting? I have some shows on my to-watch list right now, and maybe I'm just not into anime as much as I used to be, but I find it more difficult to sit through 26 or so episodes of a show that I may or may not even like just so I can move on to the next one. I'm not really sure what to do about it besides find a nice short-ish show that I really like, binge watch it and add it to the collection.
I guess my point is that the more anime I find out about, the less likely one of them will become 'that' show that really sticks with me.

How old are you Sovereign? Because you're never too young to learn that you don't have to watch/read 'em all. Watch a couple episodes and if it doesn't grab you, just delete them from your queue or whatever, unless you have a reliable source that gets your taste telling you to stick it out. I remember feeling this kind of burn out maybe when I was 18 and more things were getting translated, officially and unofficially, and the sudden jump in availability from, like, two or three titles to numbers in the double digits sort of made you feel like you had to take advantage of the "bounty" but that just lead to:
- Burnout
- Watching and reading a lot of crap
In conclusion: don't let a cheevos mindset control how you approach your hobbies. That sort of thing is what leads to people continuing to read Piers Anthony novels.
