The Other Torment
Ah I am back at that time of year when I have managed to identify some anime that I would like to watch. Ah yeah, the ones I keep up on so very well. I sit down and wonder which one I should watch. The choice can be hard sometimes. You know because sometimes you think it would be nice to watch more than one episode. The on the other hand you feel the need to get to that next cliff hanger and suffer for another week. Such a grand time it is in anime.
You know it is a little weird that it is starting off kind of quickly this year. Granted, there are a couple more anime here that I have read the manga for.. well tried too before people were shut down. You know how that works out.. well some of you might. Anyway, normally this is a mid-season kind of thing. The anime is climbing to it's climax and I am wondering exactly what is going to happen next. What will happen and what will cause me pain. Then there comes the choice that must be made.
The first choice of course is to watch the anime and let the anger set in that anime only comes around once a week. When an anime gets stuck on a cliffhanger you have to wonder how much you have to suffer. Do I want to think about what might happen once. Or do that thing where I am watching the count down clock on the simulcasts. What do I want to do... it is a very hard choice most days to say the least. However, most of the time this choice is easier to make than the other.
The other is to wait and let the episodes stack up so I can lose a couple hours of my life catching up. Those are good times.. sometimes I let them happen too often. However, I have come to the realization that this is the crappier of the choices. You know because then what will I do with my time? I mean yeah I have other stuff to do.. but that requires more effort than sitting down and having 22 minutes feel like 5 minutes. Plus then the some what productive side of me kicks in and I can come to another conclusion. The conclusion that it is better to spread out the loss of my time over the 13 week period rather than condense it into full days. Wait... is that what I am thinking... hmm... well whatever.. I think I now what I meant.
Anyway, now I am off to contemplate which anime to watch and whether or not to watch it. I guess there are plenty of factors for this as well.. you know... do I want to turn on a computer... do I want to... ummm well that is the only factor. I guess I have to hope that tonight I will not run into the dark sadness of the anime not being watched because my ISP decided to suck.
