One of the first comments on the forum, reflecting a certain melancholy, said: “I feel sad” . This triggered a series of responses, where many users mentioned that they have also felt this loss of enthusiasm for anime. One of the reports said: “ I can no longer watch even 30 minutes without getting distracted. Before, I could marathon for hours.” This feeling of discouragement was very present throughout the discussion.
Some of the criticism has been directed at the industry, with some fans claiming that studios prioritize quantity over quality. One comment pointed out: “They are producing low-quality content en masse” , while another highlighted the saturation of series in the isekai genre (reincarnation in another world), stating: “I'm tired of these repetitive stories” .
Additionally, some users discussed how aging can influence interest in anime. “Watching anime is already getting tiring for me” , said one participant. Another added: “It’s impressive that someone over 35 still likes anime and video games .
However, not everything is discouragement. Some otaku fans still find anime that maintain their interest, such as the recent series MF Ghost , being praised for being accessible to a more mature audience. “MF Ghost is a series that even the oldest fans can enjoy,” commented one user.
