CATDOLL: Why is it becoming increasingly difficult to watch anime? Age may be the main reason

As the total number of new anime broadcast within a season increases and similar plots are often repeated, there have been some voices on the Japanese Internet recently saying that "it is becoming increasingly difficult to watch anime." The "difficulty" here probably refers to various factors, such as the trouble of screening anime and the increasing lack of time.

According to the website "にじぽい", netizens' opinions mainly focus on: the quality of the work itself, that there is basically nothing to watch this season, or that their age is no longer suitable for watching works that target junior and senior high school students.

There are too many animations, and the quality is somewhat reduced

This is indeed the case. Although there are usually works with excellent animation and good plot performance in each season, it is actually very difficult to find your favorite one among the numerous seasons. Apart from watching the first episode of each animation by yourself, you can probably just read other people's recommendations.

There's basically nothing to watch this season.

I believe that everyone has their favorite type of animation. Sometimes it’s not that the work itself is bad, but that the "×× category" is popular recently. There will be a lot of "×× category" in the current season, but the audience may be tired of this type. For example, the hot-blooded robot animation like "Gurren Lagann" has not appeared for a long time.

Age has already started to affect my viewing of animation

Some people may think it is a bit strange to still watch anime at their age (this idea is true). In addition, there are physical and time factors. After get off work, you may need to spend more time with your family. In addition, the animations are piling up, and you probably won’t have time to catch up if you miss them... This is probably the most realistic statement.

In summary, it may be that the types of animation are too monotonous, or that people’s tastes change as they get older. These factors, combined with the large amount of animation in one season, make it understandable that some people have less and less time to watch animation…
