#nobody tell DBZ fans toei owned fucking mecha and all their shows were janky as hell

Been thinking about a lot how I’m very disconnected from IRL anime circles since I’m in a anime club because I don’t watch anything significantly popular and been thinking about how it’s clicked that I got the wrong impression of watching anime when I first got into it: I generally thought with anime it be like when you talk to people about old cartoons you watched as a kid-because I was primarily a cartoon kid-where you just found random shows to watch and everyone universally has seen them so the discuss would be about old shows. And like while that isn’t not true as there’s a lot of animes that are old and still discussed/praised, I’ve tend to notice people are super focused on whatever is new and don’t seem to be interested in older series unless it’s a well known franchise. And I get why because if anime is still being produced and there’s a lot of good news shows coming out you should be on the hype train, but my brain can’t really commit to weekly animes nor do I strongly desire to watch most popular series that are finished just because long length stuff is hard for me.

I really backed myself into a corner and I wish I knew sooner even if my taste would’ve probably be different which could lead me to also not like old things. At least I got the club once to watch getter + got a few irls into it but man I’m still out here with unknown ass taste.
