You know what anime trend I strongly dislike? Anison titles increasingly being released on streaming only and with no word on a physical release whatsoever.

I DON'T WANT TO *JUST* STREAM A SONG.

I WANT TO BUY A FUCKING CD.

I WANT TO OWN A COPY OF THE SONG ON A PHYSICAL ITEM AND PLAY IT WHENEVER I WANT TO, LIKE I HAVE DONE FOR EVERY ANIME SONG I HAVE LIKED OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES.

Streaming as an option is totally fine, love that for us. But not having anything physical lined up at all for music is bullshit, sorry. Just like it's bullshit when shows or movies don't get physical releases either.

It just breaks my heart that some of these fun tunes could become difficult to access in 10 or 20 years, or only preserved in a lower quality format.

Physical media for life etc.

#personal #just on a rant because every anison i've liked so far this season #it's been 'stream here!' and absolutely zero info on physical media options #no preorders no 'album coming soon' no nothing #even a year or two ago this was rare #now it feels almost standard #and it fucking sucks #'physical media doesn't last forever'#no shit but at least i can enjoy what i own at my leisure for my lifetime #relying only on streaming for access to quality media is trash #OLDMANYELLSATCLOUD.JPG
