Let me hear your anime or mal related confessions!

I'll go first: I frequently watch anime on 1.5-2x speed and I almost always stream through pirated sites.

Should I be sorry? Maybe. Am I though? Well...

I've rewatched Lucky Star, Dragon Maid, Non Non Biyori, Azumanga Daioh, Yuru Yuri, and Helpful Fox Senko-san over 20 times.

I'm usually focusing on something else while it's on, but still.

I think Ninja Batman is more entertaining than most other Batman movies I've seen. I also think Golden Kamuy is funnier than most actual comedy anime I've seen, including the 55 episodes of Gintama I sat through. I apologize for neither.

tbh 99% of anime is pure trash. the top 1% are only like 600 animes that are actually good and enjoyable to watch. that's why I talk about anime more than actually watch it.
also I think my constant bans are unwarranted asf. i hate the mods.

I don’t bother, that’s why I don’t watch anything except one piece. I’ve seen a lot of anime and I’ve noticed they’re absolute garbage so I don’t bother, that’s why I keep rewatching the same 10 stuff.

I'd pay to watch anime if there was an only platform with every seasonal anime.

Reviews are a waste of time.

Your taste is trash and so is mine.

Anime > manga on 99% of cases.

Stay away from me if you have Hunter x Hunter, Code Geass, Gintama and Steins;Gate on your favorites.

I actually, and unironically, called myself an otaku back in my teens, maybe even into my early twenties. Tbh, still prefer that term over weeb (despite otaku having a negative connotation in Japan, especially anime otaku, due to that '80s or so incident). I still have my copies of Anime Insider and monthly SJ from those years.

As far MAL-related, legit had a crush on someone back in the day from here, lol. And, it actually warmed my heart that a couple people remembered me when I came back last year. So, yeah. XD

I often become hyper-fixated on a particular show, which is not even necessarily particularly interesting to me as such. Mainly because of some unresolved issues that fuel my scientific or sports interest. Shipping, fan theories about the development of an intriguing plot, some kind of behind-the-scenes context, well, you get the idea.

Constant disputes with shippers have led to the fact that my shipping goggles have evolved to the most unimaginable levels and usually I have to constantly touch the grass to get out of the fujoshi/yuri fanboy mode, which turns on by reflex.

The high level of meta knowledge actually makes it quite difficult for me to enjoy the content, since I'm constantly trying to figure out the meaning of certain tropes or which of the possible routes the plot is moving along. For example, even after the first episode, I practically decomposed the potential development of G-Wtich into Lego cubes and it burned me out.

My burnout has caused me to become very sensitive to anything that can squeeze emotion out of me. Which is why I'm very susceptible to any nostalgic content, even if it's just architecture like in high school anime from the 90s and 00s or a ridiculously overly formulaic battle shonen. Not to mention any tragic or tearful melodramatic anime. Ultimately, the constant pursuit of emotions led me to become quite sentimental, which somehow reversed some of my burnout.

I do the same thing for yt videos, audio books, podcasts, and regular tv shows too... idk why, but I feel like it's easier for my brain to process if it's faster. I don't do it when it's a show or video that's trying to convey a certain atmosphere though, for obvious reasons.

I'm used to my friends bashing me for it, so I don't mind the prejudice lol

I use to genuinely think One Piece dub was better than sub, thank god I seen the light. This was around the time when I first started watching anime and One Piece was my second anime so I was watching in it dub. There's nothing wrong with watching an anime in dub but watching One Piece in dub is criminal.

@NoelleIsSleepy Same here, although I only do it for the shows I don't care about but want to finish. I, as a rule, don't drop many animes. There's no real reason for that, I'm just illogicaly stuborn in that aspect. The ones I enjoy, I watch them in 1x.

In the case of podcasts and yt videos, I always speed them up. I don't understand why I have the duty of listening to somehting in its original speed as long as I can comprehend it in 1.5x or even 2x.

@NoelleIsSleepy "Otaku Murderer"

A supposed otaku killed some people, caused a moral panic back then. It didn't cause negative attitudes toward otaku, but certainly didn't help, lol. Although, tbh, maybe the term doesn't have as much of a negative connotation anymore. It's been long enough, and anime weirdly blew up the past few years, magnitudes more than it did in the 2000's.

I used to be those anime haters who never watch them

I am a recent fan, only watching for the past year because of some popular show that gone viral  

Drops an anime halfway and mark it as finished

AoT bad

JJK bad

OP manga bad, OP anime good

Watches OP at 2x speed and used summeries
