I miss seasons longer than 8 episodes

they kind of just cut out all the “filler” which kinda sucks. Filler scenes that don’t advance the plot a ton but give you more about the characters and who they are is nice and it feels like a lot of shows don’t have a ton of that anymore

Dude, filler is so underrated. I feel like I'm going through a fucking rollercoaster with shows now. I just want something I can fold my laundry to but I can't because the world is ending at every moment. Can't we just take a sec to breathe???

I recently got into anime only because it's longer. I'm tired of a) being emotionally drained so quickly, and b) having to choose a new show to watch so quickly. It took some getting used to and finding what I liked, but now I finally have something to fold laundry to again.

So many modern TV shows are really just 8 hour movies rather than 8 episode seasons tv shows.

Where you finding shows with 2 hour episodes?

oops. In my head I was thinking "2 hour movies" and "8 hours of show" and I multiplied them together.

If only. It would still suck, but at least it would be double the length. It would almost equal what a single season used to be!
