| Seriously, why do you specifically watch anime. Do you watch it to escape from reality? Do you watch it because you just simply enjoy watching it, for no reason you can think of? Do you watch it so you can communicate with people in the anime community? I watch anime because it's the only thing in my life right now that I find interesting and that is worth my time. I don't really care about simulcasts and joining the conversations. I just simply like watching when I can. I personally don't see the point in watching anime illegally. I spend most of my time on Crunchyroll in regard to the time spend on watching anime. :3 |
| i have lost control over my life.. increasing the size of my anime list is the only thing i have now :( |
 |
| because it's a hobby of mine? no particular reason. Just for the enjoyment and try to look for masterpieces |
 |
| I watch them to be able to win online arguments and prove myself I'm better than others |
| Because animeizboring. Jokes aside its entertaining thats all |
 |
| It’s called for escapism, and I like it... love it very much. |

| It's simple. I'm watching anime for my enjoyment. |
 |
| I watch it because its one of the only few things that are important to me, oh and because it has stories and characters that real life shows can't even begin to comprehend hence why live action adaptations suck 99% of the time. |
 |
| Idk I grew up with it so it's just something I've been watching all my life. Also for me it's a way of relaxing after work. Just rewatched Digimon Xros Wars, something I could watch without really thinking about work and stuff. |
| ~Where's Gnasty Gnorc? I'll torch him!~ |
| I'm enjoying it and been doing that for years. If anything I can't understand why people would watch Marvel movel movies, as it's just made to milk out as much money as possible for the fans. And what they get in return is just crap. |
 |
| Plot, art style, character and ost. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police π« |
| Because i don't have anything better to do with my life. And also, hentai is pretty good too. |
 |
| Entertainment. It's fun. If it's not fun, it's not good. Simple as. escapism is gey |

| because it is good. and 2d kuudere/emotionless girls are needed in my life or I won't be able to function. |
| To desperately try to fill the void in my heart. |

I personally don't see the point in watching anime illegally. I spend most of my time on Crunchyroll in regard to the time spend on watching anime. :3 I'm broke. Maybe that'll give you a different perspective |

| I watch anime to escape the terrible reality, every time I watch anime it feels like an isekai, I'm in another world. And when I'm done watching my daily anime I'm back to the same old bullshit in my life. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Love the stories and visuals. If the soundtrack is good, that also enhances the experience. The escapism part, where my mind starts thinking of all these concepts that maybe I can use for my own works or even as fanfics, is a bonus. |

| to get respect points tbh I just like it so I watch it |
| just keep it simple |
| because I read somewhere that girls are really impressed by the size of your watched list |
 |
| Like I said in my profile, I watch anime to escape my mundane, uneventful life, but I also watch anime just because it’s a fun thing to do. |
| I watch anime because I enjoy watching anime. I enjoy the different stories and the variety anime offers |
| I got introduced to anime at boarding school so I had no cable so anime was a lifesaver from boredom at the time. They expected us, boys, to play football all day long. Eventually, it became an obsession. |
| I watch anime for broaden my horizons, cause I kinda watched all shows out there. |
 |
| Umm...I watch anime mainly because it is so fun. I think the thing about anime that I suuuuuuuper like is the way it can express the most "weird" of ideas in such a natural-looking manner if that makes any sense. A smooth blend of realistic and fictional ideas makes for a very lively and rich experience. Obviously, uhh...there is another reason why I watch anime which is to take my mind off from my daily routine but I mostly watch anime because I truly love it and have fun exploring these different worlds. I am sooooo happy that I found anime (^_^) |
  You shouldn’t be crying over things that happened in the past. Nobody is perfect. Sometimes, people make mistakes. |
| Because Anime is Life <3 Its like the question: 'Why do you eat?', for me XD |
 |
| ESCAPING FROM SAD REALITY :( ANIME WORLD IS MY PARADISE <3  |
| I watch it for entertainment and so I'll be able to talk to other people about it. I try to watch as many series as I can so I could manage a conversation about an anime that person likes. So I guess another reason is increase my knowledge about different animes. |
 |
| Always have been a fan of good story telling and anime is one of the last places to find a good story. The west has lost all sense in how to tell an intersting story. Also waifus. |
 |
| For entertainment. Will never ever understand why people ever do so out of "obligation" or to "critique the show." |
| Keep scrolling |
| I watch anime because it's a great storytelling medium! |
| because im in too deep now lol. also kawaii |
| for me its more enjoyable than a majority of western shows, and it helps escape the everyday worries i have |
| I grew up "baby-sitted" by TV. I am french and was born in 87. Therefore I was consuming japanese animation twice or more a week (and every single holiday). That(s why I am still doing it. For many people, it is as simple as the reason why your "elders" watched TV every week back in the days: it's free. (I won't enter in the details of how or why, everyone obviously knows about it) |
