Weeb days numbered?

I did a quick estimate and it seems like there's only about 50-odd "acceptable" anime left for me to watch, by which I mean all the characters are virgins throughout with only minimal romance allowed By my estimate, that leaves me with only little more than a year to enjoy anime - how does hikarin practice managed decline in this situation? A lot of my hobbies are also weeaboo-adjacent so it's a big step to plan out. Feels like I'm taking charge of a relative's end-of-life care here.

DUBS & SUBS

as we all know subbed anime is superior. but are there any specific anime you prefer to watch dubbed? i always watch Naruto and Code Geass with the dub over the sub. mostly for nostalgia reasons, but i also believe that English Lelouch does a better job than Japanese Lelouch which is pretty rare.

A question on learning resources to draw otaku art

I have been wanting to learn how to draw otaku art for a while and Im thinking of finally getting serious. After watching a few tutorials and trying things out Im really lost on how I should progress because at first I was just thinking of following a few videos but good ones are hard to find. Im not looking for "How to get good fast" tips, just normal advice, I know ill suck ass for years, maybe forever. Please share any good channels or recommendations you have on learning how to draw! I have linked a video I liked, sadly he doesnt make tutorials.

a necessary new genre. Drunken Carefree Podcast: The Anime. a liminal space inside the crack of things. A certain desire to not achieve any big goal nor do anything much, a carefreeness beyond all self-important things. In a world where infinite self-insisiting Oh-I'm-So-Important things assault your attention, your emotions and soul, to just sit and listen to the spontaneous ramblings of two random individuals is a sole island among the water-dragons of Serious Things. and, yeah, as u get older, sometimes, u just don't want to.. really do anything.

How can I learn Japanese

my fellow man's of culture in /jp/... HOW TO LEARN JAPANESE? I think some here already can read and understand some basic level of japanese. I don't want to do grammar books because most of them are... A bit of waste of time? I dunno. And I am veeeryy lazy to do anki cards. I was learning the kanji radicals but I stopped by one day and I lost my streak currently I only know Hiragana. I really wanted to learn because there is a lot's of japanese media that simply isn't translated, and I can't enjoy because: >oopsie your nihongo level is N minus 6, owari da Anyway, how do you guys learn? Don't recommend me Duolingo. I HATE this partyvanrd.
