So are some of the old timers here stretching it then?
The time could certainly wane, which may necessitate becoming more selective, but I think the interest will remain just as strong for me, like music.
I'll probably end up reading, learning and traveling more but in between I'm sure I'll still look out for anime. If I'm off on a hiatus, I can still see myself checking out news, reviews, blogs along with wikipedia for background info and related material, to see what I've been missing.
