No Show for Shows

These days, it seems harder and harder for me to want to really watch any series, be it online or on television. Perhaps it is due to my lack of time due to my working two jobs. Perhaps, I'm simply too jaded to enjoy anything at the moment. Whatever the reason, I seem to have no will to view even shows I enjoy.

"Regular Show" is something that tends to resonate with me in a variety of ways. Every episode seems to try to find a way to hit upon some significant human truths, even while delving into more absurdist depths.

I have no desire to view this show anymore.

Now, like I said, I really enjoy it. My interest in watching it seems to have left me. Not a single part of me has had any inclination to catch up on the series.

Kuroko no Basket takes one of my favorite anime tropes (a tournament) and makes a series-long story about an up-and-coming basketball team facing off against a series of increasingly difficult opponents. The first season left me very satisfied.

I have no desire to watch season two. Even with how exciting season one was, there just didn't seem to be enough of anything to hold my interest.

Perhaps I'll find a way to really start enjoying things again. Perhaps I realized that I was devoting more time to the series I was consuming, and not my relationship with Christ. At any rate, I certainly hope it doesn't bleed over into other areas of my life, thus draining my zest for art.
