The Problem With the Anime Community early access
Added 2023-07-16 19:34:11 +0000 UTCbit of a different kind of video but recently I noticed whether on Reddit or YT unless something is mainstream or brand new people aren't talking about anime as much as they did even last year. goes up tomorrow for the public but feel free to leave your thoughts here if you want or wait for comments to be enable on YT tomorrow. just weird as I love me my Mushoku Tensei's but why tf are shows normally that would be watched being slept on anymore?

I've been covering anime since 2015, it's a 2023 problem. same amount of time as there's ever been imo. I Fruits Basket would have had 1/3 of the following only the manga readers would have hyped it as no platform would make threads trend it's just a sad fact. same thing will happen with spice and wolf after the first 1-3 eps

2023-07-18 15:13:39 +0000 UTCThere’s less time now. And some inconsistency in the releases that almost incentivized waiting. Fruits basket would have been ok though. Many of us waited 20 years for that!

2023-07-17 22:01:22 +0000 UTCYeah I definitely feel that discussions have died down a lot, at least outside tight anime communities. I feel as though people these days prefer to watch rather than talk about it, or just skip it entirely. I sorta get it because every time a new season rolls around, I feel like I have to wind down and switch gears to get hyped up on new shows, especially ones I'm going into blind. It's easy for the fatigue to build up because there are just so many shows being constantly pumped out every 3 months. I'm used to it because I've been watching anime for decades, but for people especially those that picked it up during the height of covid, I guess the honeymoon period is gone, and what's left are people truly sold on the medium.

2023-07-17 21:58:07 +0000 UTCNow I have only watched anime seasonally since 2020 so I don’t have that good of a time prospective. But from what I have heard these last few years we have gotten much more great shows then previously. So maybe people don’t have enough time to watch every show that they want? (I know that I have problem with that sometimes)

2023-07-17 17:25:00 +0000 UTC100 percent. Its just weird as it's not like it's a my channel issue even reddit is 1 sixth of the discussion for horimiya. Probably doesn't help that bigger channels like chibi reviews no longer discusses anime weekly anymore unless it's mainstream. Yt viewers follow trends and when big names stop discussing things every week I think it has an impact. I try my best to spread the word but I'm just one person

2023-07-16 23:18:08 +0000 UTCI remember I started watching you around the time you were quarter halfway through Babylon, which was an unforgettable experience of an anime. Knowing the community today, I can't help but shake the feeling that the show probably wouldn't have done well viewership wise if it were made today.

2023-07-16 23:13:58 +0000 UTCI mean even before covid everything got more discussion than it does now. ive been covering anime since 2015 and 2023 is a different beast than any previous year as every platform is discussing things 1/6 of what they used to kinda wild. as anime is the easiest thing to consume as it takes 20 minutes for an episode. even watching 12 shows a season is only 4 hours a week total

2023-07-16 20:21:16 +0000 UTCI think it because most people have less time now that 2 years ago: most people where lock in they house2 year ago . now people go back to only watch what it main stream ( exept if you are either some one that love watch anime in they free time or have a lot of free time )
