Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: (nprofile…m3qg) No offense, but you're a weeb!! I mean, so am I. Kinda.
That's the thing. That's the THING. I loved anime when I was 13, and I wish I could still love it in the same way now. To me it's emblematic of imagination itself, it offered an escape from the everyday world (which children are, rightfully, desperate for) into a world of POSSIBILITY. But I feel like, over time, that escape into possibility has become an escape into comfort - the audience has changed and the industry has changed.
So I keep thinking "Maybe I can get that feeling back?" but every time I try and watch anime these days I have a bad time. Last thing I watched was Suzume and jesus christ it was absolute deranged nonsense, I gave it a pass for the strong love theme but the whole time I was thinking "what the fuck am I doing with my life?"
The Tales games have always taken that vintage, Xenogears-esque, deadly serious faced approach to building their colourful weeb worlds and stepping back into that world for a while sounds fun.
But yes, I just really want to spend time with that lady knight. :<
