somniloquence

I've been in kind of the same boat you have in terms of looking around going...where are all the shows to get obsessively fannish over? I watch Veronica Mars and Lost and all the stuff everyone's getting into lately, but it just doesn't grab me in a fannish way. There are plenty of shows on TV I like, but none (except oddly, One Tree Hill) that I LOVE or that I feel a real urge to talk about. I'm sort of transferring my obsessiveness onto anime right now, but I think some of the reason for that is just that the tv shows I'm watching aren't giving me enough to sink my teeth into. And anime, while arguably on crack half the time, is constantly intriguing me with the boundaries it crosses (especially in terms of sexuality), the quality of ongoing story arcs, the creativity of its storytelling, and the depth of its characters. Granted, I think once I've seen more shows certain conventions and cliches within the genre will start to wear on me. But right now it feels like....ah ha! something new! something to think about! and I just don't get that feeling from any of the tv I'm watching right now.
