| Yes, I watched one episode of LOTGH, and I felt like there was a stick shoved so far my ass, that I was starting to convert to a pompous elitist. Thankfully, I had the willpower to end it after just 30 seconds of exposure. |

| I really don't think it's possible unless you're very young and saw something so disturbing that it traumatized you. ................haha boy do I have a list of THAT shit. None anime-related however. XD |
  |
| Dramatic divas you all are. Granted I think if there were good horror anime that didn't rely directly on shock factor than possibly yes. |
 |
| Only good anime can damage me because I know I'll never see them for the first time again. |
| A couple of years back or so, I started a policy that if an anime didn't pass the '1 episode test', I'd drop it. Often I'll stop watching mid-way through the first episode because it's so blatantly trope-filled that there's no point wasting my time. Yeah I prefer seinen-oriented anime, and there is not too much of it out there per season. |
| That shitfest known as Fairy FAIL was an insult to my intelligence. |
| Idk if i'd call that psychological damage but the fact that some people were able to even remotely enjoy cross ange made me seriously question a lot of things about myself, other people people and anime in general |

Idk, didn't go past the first 10 minutes because it was way too awkwardly heavy-handed. |

| I can believe something like the endless 8 potentially causing some issues. But if watching a "bad" series causes problems for you, then you probably had before starting that series. |
| It really only feel like my brain is rotting when I know it's a bad anime, but I still enjoy it because of how stupid it is. |
| 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. My MAL Interview |
| If none of the terrible movies and TV shows I've seen have destroyed my brain yet, I doubt any anime will. |
| The only option I can think of where an anime could realistically damage your mental health is if it allowed you to keep up unhealthy depression like behaviours aka if your using binge watching as a form of avoidant behaviour. I think bad anime could be a problem when you watched something when you were younger but then you rewatched it later. What you thought was deep and meaningful turns out to be pretty cliche and mundane. You realise that this isnt because you have become much smarter that you've seen it all before. Nothing is unique, nothing is special and you will die without ever being more then mildly amused.

| “we all live with the objective of being happy, our lives are all different and yet the same.” |
| Anime, in general, can affect you psychologially. For example, one might have their preferences affected by watching different subgenre of hentai genre. Personally, I used to watch only vanilla or threesome (MFF), then gradually I started to get to know incest, loli, harem, DP... Now, I feel sick of myself enjoying some gangbang, rape, ntr, pregnant, traps and futanari... |
| Not if you're a casual who doesn't take this anime shit seriously. |

Can a bad anime damage you psychologically? Not any worse than poorly thought out thread topics and the corresponding first post. In all truth, when they are that bad, it makes people laugh, which is actually medically proven to be good for you. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| I've had anime damage me physiologically does that count? Watched one of these new CGI shows and it strained my eyes and gave me blurry vision for a short time. I watched serial experiments lain and became depressed for a week. Not because the show itself touched my deep down, but because I had to come to terms with the tragedy that people exist in this world who actually enjoyed it... |
| I don't care. |
| Yes. It especially damages your outlook on humanity. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |

Even during the first time, I already thought about all you said, but not only that as in itself everything about these characters is handled very horribly: SuzuMine-chan said: I agree completely, though what I personally think that is worse in R1 is Suzaku (not everything about him but many things) and the nightmares (including the mecha battles, like in Episode 11).

But well, there are good things that I find thought. For example, Lelouch has a complex personality with a complicated morality. But it makes sense in him because of his past. However, many of the good things are just Lelouch or Kallen or C.C. and no many more, as there are many bad things. Nevertheless, it's not really a bad show (for the first season). It has many problems, as you know, but as I said, there are some things that are too good to be ignored. |

VicentMR said: I never understood the hate SAO. I respect opinions, but sometimes it's a bit extreme. Sword Art Online is a very bad show, but at least for me there is nothing that could be considered so offensive to be really awful.SAO can damage you psychologically and create tendency to suicide too. |

I didn't think much of Kallen really. I think Lelouch only seemed smart because everyone kept making dumb decisions around him. He at least showed how stupid he can be |

| "Just look at those users with harems and CGDCT in their fav" Ohhh well, let's just say that how you interpret "bad" would lean on the most cliche form of how you'll shitpost and bait in MAL. |

| a bad anime would just make me press the X button and move on.. i wouldn't force myself to watch it |

| hearing justin biebers voice causes brain cells to die, so by that logic yes bad anime can be harmful. |

| Nope. People do. It changed me to someone I couldnt recognize. Anime is my medicine. |

| It feels like this thread is giving me damage psychologically. I would say it's the bad community. Bad anime can be tolerable by just simply dropping it. |
