being an older anime fan mostly means having very patient opinions about overhyped seasonal stuff

Every season there's a show people swear changed television by episode two. Sometimes theyre right! Often I just wait, drink tea, and see who still cares by episode nine.

Maybe this is wisdom, maybe I got tired.

Youre not tired, you just survived enough bait.

Episode two masterpiece declarations should require a permit.

Best feeling is quietly waiting and then being right when the good show actually lasts.
