I really can't bother to watch anime anymore and I've likely been missing out the past few years. It feels like a drag to sit through several 20 minute episodes when I have a backlog of other things and can lose interest rather quick.

It's not like manga nor LNs where I can just read through several chapters at my own pace, and needing only to finish the chapter at hand when I want to stop. Or even just pause reading several times midway to check on other things real quick, like threads. Whereas with anime it needs to be somewhat more continuous; interruptions or the show's pacing is more impactful on your time and enjoyment.

I've also been feeling this way about videogames somewhat, but it's also the same thing where I'm comfortable with games I can step away from however many times I want.

Any way to deal with this?

The more time I let pass, the more trouble I feel I'll have trying to download older seasons.

Take a break. Months even. I'm serious, you can go back to the hobby later.

Also a thread died for this, OP is a faggot as per usual

He could at least try to switch genres first.

If the previous suggestion doesn't work just pirate some western shit, this will greatly accelerate your nostalgia of Japanese media solely on ground of how shitty westernshit is.

If none of the previous, including >>116019's suggestion, works then try to find a job and if possible a 3D gf. The later two made me want to never leave my PC ever again.

I also find myself with a similar predicament; i've probably only completed 10 anime over a 2 year period, whereas in the beginning I watched around 350 anime in 2-3 years, but I have more overall time reading manga in a little over a year. I picked up manga because I found myself not being able to enjoy anime anymore as well (as much as I want to), but I find that manga is far more enjoyable for me at this point. Games are also starting to bore me, and I haven't completed a series that isn't anime in years (films are still enjoyable, however). Honestly, the only thing that will really solve the problem for us is probably the passage of time. Reading manga probably isn't helping, but I am enjoying it thoroughly.

>trouble downloading older seasons

What do you mean by this?

There's no rule saying that you have to be up-to-date with every season. You're clearly not quite into watching the most recently aired stuff now. If you're meaning the availability of the show, you don't have to worry about that for anime. Nyaa will likely have what you want, otherwise there are private trackers for anime with good torrent retention.

Basically, what this anon said: >>116019

Years long break.

Mostly further deterioration of interest. I was thinking of torrents usually losing seeders after time but I suppose that's not that it's a big problem anyways.

You need to train yourself to stop getting distracted. Daily meditation helps, start at 5 minutes, top out at 5 hours.

Also, stop doing 5 things at once, like reading a book, listening to music, and checking imageboards at the same time.

Get a cheapo NAS off amazon, put in a couple archive-grade HDDs, torrent onto that now, watch when you're 60.

I also take breaks. Usually a months at a time. I’m also disappointed/get bored with new seasonal anime. Lately to cope with all the shitty anime coming out, I just torrent older stuff like from 2000 - 2010, sometimes older than that. I also use to time to read LNs and manga or pick up another hobby that I will also get bored of and go back to anime

Disinterest doesn't mean being distracted. Losing attention is something else.

Having standards isn't a bad thing. If you don't enjoy an anime however, which I feel is your personal issue, you should just drop it and move on.

Am I wrong in insinuating you have an issue dropping anime?

If something doesn't keep your engaged, if something isn't challenging you enough to keep your attention, then it's not worth your attention. Your close to figuring this one out on your own I can tell. Personally I feel this way about manga moreso than anime. Anime is something I enjoy watching and manga is something that just feels wrong. Also stop watching porn.
