This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

>I have long-since decided to stop watching new media altogether, opting instead for anime that I downloaded and hoarded before 2030, that I can verify was made before generative AI gained popularity

And I'm open to recommendations, I need to stockpile a good 30 years worth of content and I only have like 2 right now

I have a friend that does a rolling schedule on her hoarded old media, which according to her, is sufficient for the rest of her life.

Frankly I could probably make do with what I got. If I redownloaded every anime I ever watched, I'd have a little over 4 years worth of material to watch and rewatch over and over again. But if I never saw anything new, I'd never see anything new, and all my favorite shows were new once

New to me, that is. All my favorite animes came out like 15+ years ago
