Movie, TV show, anime, game, book, whatever. Is there anything on the horizon you're actually optimistic for?

Don't build your excitement around another man's product. Develop a skill that feeds your own personal optomism.
That's real easy to say, and it sounds like one of those cool sounding toughguy 'I spend all day chopping wood, building a house with my bare hands, and reading Cicero and Marcus Aurelius' sorts of AMOG witticisms, but it's not realistic or actually positive.
Not everyone is going to be good at everything, have the time or faculties to become good at everything, or always find enjoyment in only the things one can do and nothing else. Not everyone is equipped to be a good writer, or a good artist, or a good musician, or a good whatever human beings have found joy and leisurely pleasure in for thousands of years. Humans instead tend to seek out those who are good at those things. If you enjoy reading, but are not a good writer and have not the wit for it, you may instead seek out one who is and enjoy their writing. They may come to you for the thing you are good at.
If you don't like the word 'excitement', then try on 'are there any creators of leisurely pleasures that you have come to expect to produce quality things you enjoy, and do you positively anticipate their next work?'
People like things dude. Not everyone spends every waking moment of their life producing output, and it's actually bad to do so. A person should work and produce in moderation as they should seek pleasure and enjoyment in moderation. And finding that enjoyment in what others have made, and learning to anticipate it is not a bad thing.
Sounds like a skill issue.
