Revisiting anime as an adult (2 Viewers)

[Day]

I got into anime/manga during middle school, and was SO into it up until sophomore year of high school where my "thing" turned from anime/manga to KPOP. I have just restarted rewatching some of my old comfort anime and honestly... it shocks me how I once loved some anime so much and now I rewatch it and I'm no longer super into it.

One example of this is Haikyuu- aka my all time FAVORITE. Now that I'm rewatching it, it's a bit less entertaining. Though, I must say, the manga is much better and I do already know how things turn out. I definitely need a new favorite.

On the other hand, back when I first watched Naruto, I ended up quitting the first season because I got bored and jumped directly into the second season. Now, however, I'm rewatching and I've made it 100+ episodes into the first season! I previously quit the series at the start of the chunin exams arc.

That's me with anime and manga.

I can't revisit most old shows because of the art, tbh. I'm a snob lol.

But I think I'm gonna get back to watching/reading because I need some entertainment that isn't the nonsense I see on my TV. I'm glad you're enjoying Naruto, though! That was an adventure and a half.

What else are you watching?

I can revisit most things and still enjoy them just as much, tho if it's something really really old then i'll enjoy it for different reasons lmao like Shaman King, i'm already aware of the fact that from a critical standpoint it's just ok but I can still enjoy it for nostalgia, the remake too, I think they're speedrunning most of the beginning it seems but honestly I don't mind too much cuz the art is much better and i'm enjoying being reintroduced to all the characters. Sailor Moon is another one where i'm watching the dub for nostalgia's sake and I know it's shit but honestly it's so much more funny watching it now lmao.

Aside from those two tho, out of all the animes i've rewatched I usually tend to enjoy it just as much as the first time like Blue Exorcist was amongst like the first 20 animes I ever watched and is also one of my most recent rewatches and it just never gets old for me lol

On the topic of Haikyuu I watched it for the first time very recently actually and honestly I loved it, I left it so long cuz i've just never really cared for sports anime but I can make an exception for Kuroo, Oikawa and Tendou I haven't read the manga but I have accidentally come across enough fanarts to roughly know who's teamed up with who/what people are doing after high school As long as I only get spoilers for the timeskip and not who won which games n stuff I guess i'm ok with that lmao
