Do you ever miss the days before you got used to anime? Before you started to recognize tropes? Before you took it less seriously? Before you stopped seeing characters as real, important beings and started seeing them as just another group of human-created 2D characters?
I miss those innocent days. I wish I could go back and re-experience anime for the first time in my youth again. It was so beautiful.

No, I'm not mentally ill so I am entirely capable of distinguishing anime from reality. Whenever I watch good "live action" shows and movies I'm reminded just how much of a joke anime is as an art form.

I miss the days before the internet when I could watch anime without everyone telling me what they thought about it.

Well ok Mr. Big Boy, thanks for letting us know
I'm talking about innocent youth where you take everything seriously, like anime and cartoons and movies.
I've been taking breaks of several months of not watching anime when it starts feeling stale, ever since I started watching 11 years ago.
Kept it fresh enough for me so far.

Last time I felt like that was finishing up watching Initial D.
Back then I could absorb every show like a sponge. Now when I start a new show I always get pissed when X trope happens
Epic blog my dude.
I wish I can go back when I didn't get into hentai stuff instead. I can now watch hentai without getting a boner.
