Fall 2019 Anime Season: Ensemble Stars and the Overstayed Welcome

Ensemble Stars ended up overstaying its welcome with the additional second cour. For me anyways it pretty much confirmed that a show longer than 3 months is way too long for my personal attention span and watching more than one anime at once proved to be too much for me to handle. I wish it was more clear from the beginning of the season how long a show would run. People have different tastes when it comes to series length and even this can change over time. When I was younger I wished the shows I watched would continue on forever. In recent years watching younger generations be upset about popular long running series drawing to a close has had me wondering if it is something we wish for in our youth. That the experiences we felt then would last the rest of our lives. The more time passes the more rose tinged those experiences become for many or at least so it seems.
