Want to watch anime

>that's when you move on to actual literature or productive hobbies

Corrected for you. If you're here and in the anime fandom past 21, you really need to reevaluate your life

I only watch shorts and the occasional movie now, I've pretty much made the switch to manga entirely.

Watch old stuff you liked before. I thought I burned out of anime till I watched some old stuff, and it was every bit as great as I remembered.

Just take a break. It will make you enjoy it more when you come back.

Anime and manga can be a very productive hobby if you're willing to put in some effort and learn Japanese. It can also inspire you to pick up other hobbies, like art. But if you believe there's zero manga with mature writing, you're only reading mindless surface level stuff. Even then, there's nothing wrong with that, because the whole point of a hobby is to entertain you. So long as you're being entertained, you're being productive. Sitting around being negative on the internet all day isn't very productive either.

You're replying seriously to obvious bait.

That's sort of where I'm at, thankfully manga still keeps me interested.

He's obviously bothered by it because on some level, he knows it's true.

It's even worse to still be on Any Forums past 21 though

why is 21 such an significant age?

Do i have too many hobbies if i consume anime and manga, video games, literatures, youtubers, study philosophies?

>used to watch anime exclusively, shunned manga
>now only read manga, watch anime only if it's a good adaptation of a manga I liked
Not sure how I feel about this development

That's even worse though.
