I thought I found my dream job when I was able to move to Japan, but the longer you live somewhere, the more normal it becomes.

On the topic of anime, all the typical (legal) anime websites do not work in Japan so you are left with illegal streaming sites. I also believed the rumor that downloading anime would get you in more trouble here so I avoided that. Ultimately, because watching anime was more troublesome than enjoyable, I put it on hold.

But the longer I've been away from watching anime, the less appealing it becomes. I'll see occasional screen caps but honestly, it all looks the same now. My non-anime-watching friends would always comment about how every anime looks the same but because I was so invested in it, I could see all the minute differences. Now I see what my friends saw.

I used to be a huge anime fan until I moved to Japan.
