| I mean 2 of those 3 things also are a waste of time. But at least with anime I'm wasting my time doing something I enjoy versus being forced to waste it on something I hate. |
| Not at all. Everybody has a hobby and this just happens to be ours. While others go to clubs, binge watch Netflix, read, work-out, etc. as a hobby, we do this. No need to worry about it. As long as you aren't sacrificing your school and/or work for it or neglecting your family and/or friends, then I see no problem with it. |
 |
| You should learn how to prioritize. It sounds like you're just lazy. No offense. |
| I wouldn't be on an anime website if I didn't enjoy watching anime. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| Absolutely not. I am not wasting my time I love watching anime it is my hobby. |
| If it makes you feel good and you enjoy it, it's no waste of time. That applies to almost everything in life. Though once you start to feel bored and really want to do something else during the time you'd be watching anime it will be a complete waste of time. Then again, it appalies to almost everything in life. |
| Somtimes yes, but I try to look for anime I know I'll enjoy |
| no, why would something that brings me so much joy be a waste of time? i really can't stand this stereotype that everyone who watches anime is depressed and thinks their life sucks |

These moving pixels are my ultimate (if not sole) form of entertainment, and the fact that they're not real is a plus...XD 2- I can be socializing instead Socializing is not within my interests. 3- I could be working out instead WUT? Work over entertainment? LOL! I don't work yet and I fear for the day I'll finally have to. |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| If I like and enjoy watching anime, I don't think it's a waste of time at all. Either way, with some of your examples, you can do one or both (socialize and workout) and watch anime also (the day(s) you have most time), you just have to prioritize and manage your time correctly. |
| But it is indeed a waste of time. In the end, almost all hobbies are. |
| wait, you guys watching anime not for wasting time? |

| no life has no meaning anyways, why not enjoy stuff while i can |

| Not all anime but sometimes I watch seasonal anime and think that I could be watching something better. |
| Yes if it's a crap one, but none of your option happen to me. Point of watching anime is to have fun or kill your free time. |
| "Look... It's a gigantic killing spirit and you just a woman with an invicible Holy Excalibur. Just sit down and watch me, a man who don't know any martial arts and can't use magic will beat it." |
| Yes, I understand that I could do much important things instead of watching cartoons. It doesn't prevent me from enjoying anime though. |
| Sometimes, All I need is just to read some manga to kill time that's all |

| Yeah, obviously, everything has no meaning after all. Even life is waste of time. |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| From certain perspective, life itself is a waste of time. People babble about shit like contributing to society, getting your shit together... But don't forget it's your life and it's not that long you know. Do stuff you enjoy and die without regrets. |
| I don't see it as a waste of time. Not watching anime would be a bigger waste of time! |
 |
| I think this far more about browsing and posting on MAL than I do watching anime. No, I don't really ever think that about anime in a general sense. If I start thinking that about a specific anime, I'm probably close to dropping it. |
| No. I think my time spent on mal is, though. |
| Do you feel that [x] is a waste of time? |
     |
| Technically everything is a waste of time. |
 |
| That's a nihilistic way of looking at things since you could say that everything other than breathing, eating, sleeping... are a waste of time since they aren't necessary to life but it isn't true, we're were to enjoy ourselves after all so if you enjoy watching anime then it's not a waste of time (as long as you don't lose sight of other things that are important to you as well). |
 |
| when ur using anime as a medium for procrastinating homework due the next day but ur just watching anime and looking at MAL then yes #feelsbadman |
 |
| but also think of worse things you could be doing.. like shooting drugs or playing mobas |
 |
| if it would be a waste of time, i wouldn't watch it in the first place. |
 |
| Everything is a waste of time. I like wasting my time watching anime. And btw, you shouldn't feel that considering the fact you are fairly new to anime given the fact you have less than 100 days spent watching anime. |
 |
| THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF PERSPECTIVE 1.) if you enjoy watching anime and you learn from it, then you cant really say that your wasting your time. unless your watching School Days then that's a fucking waste of life. 2.) Life is a fucking waste of time. I could be a fucking plant right now (still a living thing but atleast better) instead Im fucking forced to read books to "learn" so I could have a "bright" future, when all I see in the future is all of us dying. 3. Yes anime is a fucking waste of time which brings only bad influence on children making them think they're a fucking mewtwo or something. |

| Entertainment is never a waste of time, it only becomes wasted time if you force yourself to finish bad series. Just by the way, you can always be socially active and work out even if you watch anime. It's not like anime holds you back, it's you who sets priorities. |
| I wouldn't watch it if i thought it was a waste of time. As long as your prioritise things and don't spend all day everyday watching anime, it's not a waste of time. |
| Hmm, not really, since I enjoy watching anime it is a good usage of my time when I have nothing important to do. However, watching certain shows is a waste of time if I dislike them. When I have homework or other things to do, then I am simply wasting my own time, and it is not anime's fault, but my own. |
 |
| Let's start that, if u are enjoying something so it's not a waste or time. Secondly, anime although that is pixels can still be meaningful. |
| Relaxing while having fun is part of life, we can't be super efficient 24/7. |
 |
| Just the opposite. If I'm not working or sleeping, I'll find myself playing a game or working out and thinking "This is a waste, I should be watching anime or making another video." |
"I'd take rampant lesbianism over nuclear armageddon or a supervolcano any day." ~nikiforova |
| Like games and TV, it too can be a waste of time if you don't know how to manage it. It could be a leisure activity to deal with mental stress from work or school as well. |

| Everything is waste of time, we are literally trying to pass the time until we die *goes deep* |
| dont't watch that anime if you are going to give it 1* and cry 10000 words in review about it. |
Jazoraa said: 2- I can be socializing instead Sometimes when I'm socializing, I think "why the hell do I take part in this internet argument? I could be watching anime instead!". But it does not help, because I am argumentative. |
