CATDOLL: Japanese netizens hotly debate: Animation has no durability and is forgotten the moment it ends

Nowadays, there are more than 50 new animations in a quarter, and more than 200 to 300 new animations in a year. Although there are many animations, there are not many animations that we can still remember after the animation ends! We often forget the animation the moment it ends. What is the reason? Japanese netizens have exploded in discussion about this.

I recently discovered that about 90% of anime works are forgotten the moment they are finished, and will never be remembered again. The speed of animation consumption today is really too fast. Is this a good thing?

I think it’s mainly because there are too many new episodes in a quarter now, and it’s impossible to tell a good story. Even if you make it carefully, new animations will come out before everyone can savor it. Therefore, you can’t have too much energy to savor it. In the past, many works were broadcast for a year or even longer, so the topic could be maintained and the audience would not be easily snatched away by other works.

I think this situation is purely caused by the producers themselves. Many animations now leave a pit when they end, but who knows when there will be a sequel. In this case, I force myself to quickly forget the plot of the work, otherwise even if I recall this work, there is no new plot to watch, which is very entangled.

Compared to forgetting, I feel that many animations nowadays are not even worth watching... Especially many light novel adaptations, one episode is the limit. So there is no such thing as forgetting. At the same time, many works only care about the cuteness of the characters, but the content is not worth watching. Maybe you think these girls are so cute when you are following them, but as long as they are finished, those character images will not reappear in your mind.

In the final analysis, many works that have been adapted into animations are not actually worth being made into animations. Especially those comics that have only been published for 2 or 3 volumes and are forced to be animated, it is probably just to sell the original works. Now if you ask me to recall what new anime was released in October last year, I can only remember one "Osomatsu-chan"...
