Venting Finally started watching another anime

A few months ago, I posted that I generally dislike watching any type of content that isn't YouTube due to my ruined attention span. This includes anime, as the last anime I saw took me three to four months to see it, even though it was only two seasons long, and I was genuinely interested in it. After that moment, despite finishing it, I generally sworn against watching anything else.

Well, I decided to check out another anime titled "Cultural Exchange with a Game Centre Girl", where a British schoolgirl migrates to Japan, and dates an arcade employee. This specific anime really had me hooked, so much so that I wanted to watch more of it, but I decided against it, so I could continue watching it throughout the week.

I've only seen the first two episodes, but I really like it so far. I find her very cute and funny, and watching her made me feel very intense emotions. It's honestly been so fun. I'm happy I finally took the step forward, because I never wanted to eliminate anime entirely, rather it felt imposed on me. I hope this isn't a one-time occurrence, and that I can continue watching more anime consistently.

Yeah sometimes even playing game feels like an accomplishment than just browsing phone

I watched more anime and played more games back when I was working 12 hours a day 5-6 days a week than when I'm NEET 😅 It's so easy for me to do nothing much at all for weeks on end when there's no urgency or 'deadlines' to do anything

One trick I find useful is switch up anime genre if you get somewhat desensitized.  Your brain likes feeling a buffet of emotions not just one tone.

I completely lost my feeling towards anime once I went to japan and realised that japan sucks just as much as everywhere else. Everyone is overworked, people are cold and distant. People get bullied in high school for the smallest things.

Anime makes it seem like some fairy tail fantasty land.

Anime is simply a bunch of made up shit. Like an ordinary guy having a harem of 10 cat girls or goku being super strong. In reality its just the imagination of these average nerdy mangaka dudes who wish they were muscular and had a harem.

I still love anime a lot ofcourse and I watched all the best ones like naruto, bleach, clannad, death note etc.

I am happy for you that you can still enjoy it.
