Now I'm exploring my 10-year-old external hard drive that I used to back up anime in ages past. I rewatch something; I vaguely remember it but it's basically brand new to me! But then it's over and I get that familiar empty feeling again, but worse than the first time, because I get reminded of how the story is done forever, nobody cares about it anymore, etc.
The entire hard drive is a melancholy graveyard of sorrowful times that were still better times compared to today.
With anime, I experience a unique depression when I finish something, since I never watch new things. Something I don't experience with games or TV shows:
I'll search 4chan archives and forums in general to see if anyone else likes the anime I just finished, and 99% of ANY mentions of the title are just lists of anime that someone likes. Like I'll just see it mentioned in "stuff I've watched" lists and such. Or one post in a million will have a one-sentence comparison of its story with another anime's story. And of course, the post in question will have no replies or anything else of value.

>>42548>10-year-old external hard drive>2014Were you collecting new anime or old classic animes? Cos it was somewhere in the 10s anime became this soulless digitally animated husk of itself.
