Yes my gaming is heavily influenced by anime since i mostly action play jrpgs and bullet hell shooters. Also hentai is anime so that point is redundant. |
| Watching anime and reading manga is a hobby itself. Buying manga, collecting merch, drawing characters, learning Japanese as a hobby. Other then that, I started some workout routine because of it. I started playing volleyball because of Haikyuu. I got better at table tennis due to ping pong the animation. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Pretty much all of my hobbies that aren't sports or beer related are because of anime. The biggest thing for me at the moment is attending conventions and cosplaying. I also love card games (Yu-Gi-Oh! and Weiss Schwarz) and have been getting into board games lately due to After School Dice Club. I've started reading manga again for the first time in ages as well since my local library has a pretty good selection. I finally bought my first figures earlier this year too, so I'm beyond saving from weebdom at this point. |
| maybe learning some basic photoshop and inkscape but i rarely post new stuff now on my deviantart also learning some basic video encoding when i still reencode anime to mini size and ye learning some piracy stuff like torrenting and irc/xdcc downloading |
| Definitely buying Anime figures and other related merch. Also whilst It was my hobby anyway before Anime - Trains/Railfanning too maybe, because they always feature heavily and have quite a lot of Anime & Manga dedicated to them. Edit: Going to conventions also, lucky for me my town has 3 free ones a year. |

| I don’t think consuming entertainment counts as a hobby tbh so I don’t consider it. Drawing is the only hobby I have that’s come out of anime |

| After watching Ace of Diamond I did try a little bit of Baseball but it wasn't for me, I don't think there's anything else I've tried because I was inspired by anime. |
| listening to jpop watching ufc and trying kickboxing (inspired from baki) gonna start learning japanese |
 |
| I don't really do anything but watch anime and read manga unfortunately. Id oike to have more hobbies but im limited |
| Yes, the hobby involves some tissues. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Listen to japanese music 100% came from anime. I still most listen anime songs, but i expand to some favorite singers too. I also most prefer JRPGs over west games, because i love the writing and the stupid anime tropes. |
Nope. There is absolutely zero correlation between my hobbies and my anime watching choices. If you saw me out somewhere, you'd probably have no clue what my anime preferences are. Most of my hobbies and interests are
and other things which I end up deciding to do sporadically. Honestly, I'd probably never watch anime about any of these things. |

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
| Toy photography, crafting dioramas - I do these because I collect nendoroids, which of course happened because I like anime. I have always liked drawing, but liking anime & manga made me draw anime style. Also made me like drawing more at one point. |
  |
| Probably video games because I'm sure I would have never played 13 Sentinels or Persona 5 if I never got into anime. I would probably add my YouTube watching tendencies. Also reading manga and LN I guess but I see that as basically the same as watching anime, and I have bought several anime figures. |

| Whether directly or indirectly, Japanese anime has a very big influence on pretty much most things I engage with in some capacity. Even stuff like Western film, animation, and comics take inspiration from Japanese anime and manga these days as people who grew up on it are now the ones creating content (and in the case of comics there's actually some Japanese creators creating western comics such as Peach Momoko currently drawing and writing Ultimate X-Men Vol 2). We live in a much more globalized world where artists from around the world take inspiration from each other and that is an excellent thing |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| I start to playing Yu-Gi-Oh! because I've been watching Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Plastic Modelling. the Hobby that got me into Anime by osmosis as an early-teen in the early/mid 1990's; |
 |
| yea maybe. I've created >30 characters. Tried drawing manga, really more like graphic novels since they're manually drawn and color, but I can't make up my mind so have 3 different ones I work on. Well technically more than that, but who cares. I bought a bunch of figures, like maybe 50? A few more than that. in different sizes. I've also built a couple of big architectural models that I pose the figures with, and bought scale cars for them. I listen to music that's completely different than the pop/rock music thanks to soundtracks from anime, which led to tangent to a lot of different music. |
| Yes and it has gotten me laid on numerous occasions. |
| Yes I cosplay and building props! Work on templates and commissions. |
 |
| Anime and Manga made me want to try some japanese foods I never had before (like ramen or some of the dagashi) and made me curious about maybe trying one day one of the big conventions (did not do it yet though). |
| Well uh........ watching anime ig? |
| Writing. I've been working on publishing a light novel, so there's that. |
 |
| Listening to Japanese music, buying pokemon cards and beyblades as a kid, playing gacha games |
