Diagnosis
You live on ongoings and recent releases, and everything from before smartphones feels like a dusty archive. Experience has nothing to do with it: you can watch anime for ten years and still be a Season Chaser. The classics can wait — a new episode is out.
Symptoms
Recognise yourself in at least three? This is probably your card.
Superpower
You're always first to find new hits.
Weak spot
The roots of half your favourites are a blank spot.
Class breakdown
Season Chaser isn't an age or a tenure, it's a way of watching: releases from the last three to five years fill almost your entire list, and anything older can be counted on one hand. Evangelion? On the plan list. Cowboy Bebop? They say it's essential, but the art is old. For you the history of the industry starts roughly with the current ongoing.
The algorithm spots you by the age of the titles in your list: the median release year is anomalously fresh and the share of classics tends to zero, while the age of the account doesn't matter — you can become a Season Chaser after twenty years in anime. Don't confuse this with the Hype Surfer: he chases trends deliberately, while you simply live in the current season — the feed recommends ongoings, friends discuss them, and by the finale they've landed in your list on their own.
This is the most promising class on the site: the whole history of anime lies ahead of you, and Fullmetal, Bebop and Monster await you without twenty-year-old spoilers. It's a little enviable. And a fresh eye without nostalgia filters is an honest lens: you judge new releases as new releases, not as “not what it used to be”.
Kindred spirits
If anime characters kept rating lists, these would score titles in the spirit of «Season Chaser».
The class shelf
The new school's canon: everything after 2018 this class watched most widely. Anime before it arrived might as well not have existed.
