So generally this is directed at people who’ve watched a decent amount of anime. But let’s say you could travel back in time and meet your old self when you just started watching anime (assume it won’t cause a time paradox). What would you tell yourself? It could be warnings or just good events that would come ahead.

I would say to my old self...

“Hear my words, 2014 me, Steins;Gate comes back in 2018. Have no fear.” (Yes I watched s;g pretty late)

1. Actually watch anime, don't just claim you're an anime fan when you've only seen two.
2. Calm the frick down, you don't actually need that shrine to L, no matter how much you liked him.
3. Calm the frick down, Crona isn't the best character in the world, either.
4. You were wrong when you thought Welcome to the NHK was the only serious anime based on real life. There's a lot of them, and there'll be a lot more made in the future. You just gotta look for them.


now i will tell you what ive done for you
fifty thousand tears ive cried
maybe ill wake up for once
screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
and you still wont hear me going under
dont want your hand this time ill save myself

Try different anime,don't just watch battle shounen and the most hyped mainstream ones.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Anime is not worth neglecting your school work for. You have decades to watch anime but only a few years to shape the rest of your life. You will regret not doing as well as you could have at school.

Not to go to the Shingeki Kyojin Chuugakkou forums because people are spoiling stuff there.

Not to watch any of GrArkada's videos until I have finished watching all of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.

Don't watch this WatchMojo video until I finish Fruits Basket.

And not to google search "Frieza vs Cell" until I finish the Cell saga in Dragon Ball Z.

And not to google search "Angel Beats vs Clannad: After Story" until I finish Clannad: After Story.

In the case telling those things to my past self wouldn't cause a time paradox who will change the fate of the universe, I would say to myself either:

"Your favourite anime will be a psychedelic harem, mark my words".

or

"There will be Index III".

I wouldn't warn the past me about avoiding "x" animes, since I don't regret finishing or watching anything.

don't lose interest anime during your Jr and Sr year of HS as well as your first semester of College in order to be "cool"

i guess it was only a 2 1/2 year period though.. so thats honestly nothing... and it ended up teaching me how much more i like watching anime than doing other things XD

Probably something like "just stay in and watch as much anime as possible instead of going out and being a complete fuck up". I'd like to have just been a degenerate who binge watches anime all along rather than being a complete fuck up and then be a weeb degenerate later anyway.

"Stop obsessing over Hetalia. There are other great (better) animes out there. And now you're late in watching them." Hm. Or maybe I'll just shut up. I had fun with my Hetalia phase, and it's also what helped improve my English and Spanish too, after all.

Oohh, I would probably tell my past self, "Naruto isn't the only anime that exists, Charee. You should give other animes a chance as well. There are lots of great ones out there and it's okay to love them. It doesn't mean you're betraying your love for Naruto just because you've taken an interest in other animes."

I started watching Naruto when I was six years old and I've been addicted to it ever since but it was the only anime I would watch for the next few years because I loved it so much that I didn't think anything else could compare, which is pretty biased since it was the first anime I was introduced to where I felt like I was really interested in that world and that I just wanted to binge all of it so it's not exactly a surprise that I felt protective towards it. I stopped watching animes for a few years after and I didn't really get back into it until summer 2017 (which was when I created this account) and I was introduced to FMA: Brotherhood and that was the actual start towards my journey in anime and I haven't stopped watching anime since! :)


Sounded like a very fun journey! ^.^

I would have told my 14 year old self to watch Evangelion twice in a row. I didn't really get into Anime until I was about to turn 22 save for Miyazaki, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Pokémon and other obvious shit and I like that because I have different perspective versus someone who has consistently watched all their life. But, I really wish that I would had watched that show when I was 14.

2. Watch more anime. Especially during the summer time.
3. Don't be ashamed of anime and definitely don't try to hide it from your parents.
