I lost a lot of passion for weeb shit when I picked up Japanese language study to become the uberweeb. Not only did I lose the time, so much of it converted to cheaply produced moe stuff (by proportion) around the same time.

I'm not sure what to make of it that a "lost decade" and the death of Tezuka seem to have been less devastating to the prevalence of this sort of quality that once drew in that tired 40-something guy who owns the corner anime shop than a trend that includes a general move to cheaper production methods (not to point fingers at pirates or quality of animators or the specific animation techniques or finances of production; if there is a desire to oversimplify, it's sufficient to note that the already modest money that used to be in it basically dried up and no gitting gud attempted so far has fixed that).

I'm not even sure this nostalgia is entirely off base, when you have no less than 3D anime pioneer Ichiro Itano expressing a little concern that the younger generation seems reticent to attempt the hard shit and exceed the accomplishments of their idols, as if somehow a strong majority of otaku stopped using their status as social outcasts to only care about fucken good animu.

Perhaps it's also worse than worthless posting my shitty popular opinion, but I still did it; it's not like you can escape criticism even if you say nothing.
