We’ve been having a lively discussion on the forums in regards to anime worth watching over the past 5 years. For example, NegativeZero posted:

He brings her to Meme Oshino, an odd guy who appears to be a travelling priest, who helped cure Koyomi of being a vampire. Senjougahara is possessed by a spirit which he must help exorcise. Subsequently he encounters other girls, who each have similar issues which Koyomi has to help resolve.

Hello all!
Wow, It’s been such a long time since I sat down and watched… anything really.
I have been inspired in truth, Ausanime’s revival has spured me to go to a friend’s house to collect some recent titles and to set up a media PC in my theatre to watch them.
I got caught up with working a full time job, chasing women, a bit of gaming, etc.
I went to Tokyo in 2008 and again in 2010 and was totally blown away by the origins of this fine art and the people that live there. In the winter I had the time of my life in the hills north of Tokyo where I was able to stay at a Ryokan, a traditional Japanese hotel, with a private onsen, hot spring, in my room. I opened the Shoji screen beside the bath to look out over a giant, rainforest valley with a waterfall and mist bellowing out across the landscape.
So anyway, how are we all doing in this respect, what’s changed and are you still watching anime?
