It basically replaced 95% the time I spent playing League of Legends, so I still spend a lot of time with my hobby but I at least don't get salty, that's one hell of an improvement.

It heavily influenced my everyday life. This is me when I'm doing my morning jogging:

Then I do some finger exercises

Then when I'm about to say something smart (wait, actually, this never hap-) I do this:

Since I became an anime fan, I used a significant amount of my free time watching anime.

I mean to be fair, how else would you crack 1 finger at a time with 1 hand? With your palm facing out?
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

That's just a shitpost :)
Actually, I do crack my fingers almost like that (always did even before watching TG), I just don't keep my index that straight when I do it.

Anyway, for a serious answer, maybe I'm wrong but it hasn't influenced anything in my lifestyle. Anime is just one of my hobbies, like music, films, sports, videogames and other things; I pretty much alternate between them and could go years without doing one of them. For example, from 2014 to the first half of 2016 I was heavily interested in watching films, and so I went and watched one almost like everyday. Then my interest in films died (temporarily, I hope) and from second half of 2016 to this October I was playing at least 4 hours of fighting games almost everyday and became quite addicted. It was taking too much of my time so I decided to stop for a while and now I'm taking this time to watch a lot of anime and live series that people talk about that I've never seen...

I am actually serious about that lol, my friend told me I should try it. Oh boy, I was such an innocent boy until I found KissXSis. Then I proceeded to watch some hentai. Believe it or not, I didn't do it until the 3rd year in my anime career because I didn't like the idea of fapping. Then my friend said to try it. My view of the world changed. Such unraveling of a grander sphere.

Thanks to all the goody-two-shoes MCs who only believe in doing what is right, I ended up upholding some good values in real life which most probably may make my classmates/friends not like me for not helping them in doing wrong things.

Also instead of being restricted to groups and people only from my area/country and being in my own little world like my classmates and friends, I came across many people from different corners of the world and learnt a few common characteristics about their country/culture thanks to anime.

Eh, I don't find real life woman attracting :D In fact, the only reason I was able to fap to 3D girls is because I gain some appreciation after watching hentai. So, thanks to anime, I grew some balls to fap to 3D girls. Hey, isn't that a good thing

I was living a normie life with my girlfriend as a member of my college's tennis team, until introduced by my former friend to a club of enthusiasts: a female illustrator, an information geek, a martial artist, and a weapons collector. I joined them; I made a wish to become the supreme enthusiast, under the name of "Otaking". Later on my girlfriend dumped me and I was kicked out of the tennis team, but that doesn't matter! Now I live in the Otakuland - a post-apocalyptic submerged Japan and find its central structure, a giant robot, converted into a functional spaceship piloted by my old friends. Miraculously rejuvenated, we fly into space in search of "The Planet of Otaku".

I think it matters more if it had a positive or negative impact in someone's life. I would certainly generalize it to the point that it had a negative impact on their life, but it'd be a good thing if one's life had been saved by anime, certainly probably just my wishful thinking.

Well, it has pretty much taken over my room, but I've made my best friends because of it. It has also made me in general a more happy and outgoing person. Which is probably hard to believe for some crippling depression MAL users. Overall, an expensive hobby, but I really enjoy a lot of things about anime. (I don't have Netflix or any streaming services just Air TV, so anime is kinda a godsend for me since when I was young I watched a lot of cartoons, I just liked cartoony style.)
