There are like 50 new shows every season. 30-40 of them are kinda watchable. 20 are good and 10 are really good. Watching less than 10 a season is an actual crime.

heh, and I have a hard time finding even 1 worth watching a season

I've been told taste is genetic. So not really your fault for lacking it. At least you have more time to do other unfun things then. Good for you.

I watch Grand Designs.

 

 

So, I did watch One Punch and then One Piece up until I got to the most recent dubs but don't watch any other anime, can't get into it. Don't get into TV series in general. Don't watch any big TV series, love Marvel, don't watch any of their series (No Mutants No Marvel) and watched like 1 Game of Thrones ever (got bored).



Hmm, pie.

You are 19 and you just drove your first car by yourself? People in my area start at 15 with no guidance. Then again Canada might have a different culture than us . Now try driving on the expressway when you're ready. It is like everything you did in driving leads up to that.

When I first learned to drive I realized playing a video game about driving gives you NO experience on how to drive in real life. Such a hard lesson to learn for me.

Hahahaha it’s same for me. I was playing Porsche Challenge while drinking hard to see how it is to drive under influence. Well it’s not the same;)

If anything I don't watch enough. 2017 will be the first year since 2010 where I could not finish 100 animes. It really sucks to toss so many animes aside that deserve my attention.

How do you not get burned out on all of that anime?

Some people watch a ton of netflix shows non anime or are cinephiles. Anime shows are generally short in comparison, other then the big ones. For example one season of one show is generally 13 episodes and only have about  20 minutes of content each, so just 4 hours and 20 minutes. Same as 2 movies or 4-5 episodes of GoT or NCIS.

For big shows like One Piece there is only like 15 minutes of content so it is easy for me to watch 13 episodes in a day or 2. Do that 100 times and there you have 100 animes. Of course I can't watch that much personally I am more like 30-50+ because my tastes are varied between video games, anime, movies, etc.

They're also much more generic and cliched in comparison. I don't even watch that much anime and I still get the feeling "haven't I already seen this?" when watching some new stuff. Can't imagine how often the serious anime watchers feel like that.

This might be a terrible comparison. But it is like a fetish. 

If one likes one thing in anime for example fantasy worlds, there is very few western shows that give off that aspect due to technical and budget limitations.

Another example lets say Super Powers, One Piece is kind of like Xmen but there is very little Xmen media to watch compared to One Piece.I like both but I have to wait every 2 years for an Xmen movie while I can watch One Piece every 2 months.

I think most western shows are the same thing too, to be fair, examples CSI,CSI2,CSI3,CSI4,NCIS,Law and Order, and all those other generic cop shows that have no business being like that. And the Friends archetype for "comedy" etc.

Well, I guess I could have done it at 17, but I was a little late. I took the written test which allowed me to drive with an experience driver in the passenger seat, but I just passed the first road test which gave me the ability to drive on my own. There is another driving test that I'll have to take a year later.

Yeah, I got mine at 17, but I've almost completely stopped driving now, that I live in Montreal... Whole city's a bloody construction zone. You go twice as fast by foot, 4 times if you take in consideration all the time you waste looking for parking.
