To be honest I cannot get hyped about anime anymore for this reason as well as the fact that there are just too many things that can go wrong; will the show even be good, will it even come out, will it be on a streaming service I can be happy with like Netflix, if not then will it come to Blu-ray and will the Blu-ray's subtitles be optional (or at the very least give me a dub with subtitles option); the fact I have to ask these questions, some of them even after a show is released, just makes me wary of being excited about any anime.
To be fair though if a show is on Netflix then I don't have to worry about locked subs at least; which has led me to watch some shows I have on DVD or Blu-ray there instead and I do believe, last I checked, that they have a better ratio of good to bad anime compared to Crunchyroll or even home video so I get more interested when Netflix gets a new release.
I used to read these forums regularily, long before actually signing up, to see if One Piece would finally continue on DVD and I was genuinely excited when it did continue but ever since they've locked the subs I completely lost interest; and to be honest that was perhaps the last show I got hyped about a release for.
As for quantity over quality; it's the same with any medium, just as unacceptable, I've lost count of the amount of times I see the same cliche's peppered throughout most anime with the most insignificant changes to pretend to be original, only to further hammer home the fact that it is a massive cliche', I would like to believe that even the otaku are getting sick of it but I guess not as they seemingly keep buying shows that are basically the same as one another.
Nowadays I only sometimes may like a show when I'm actually watching it and not a moment before.
