What would you be doing if you weren’t into anime?

I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest anime fan, at least not as much as I use to. It’s just the funnest stuff is usually anime media. I’m more of a reader than watcher of anime, so I think I’d probably use more of that time into getting more into western fiction. I do like a work when an author has a mastery of the english language better than reading translated media al of the time. I like their thoughts in their words in the language I understand.

Besides that, maybe I’d be more into video games again. Maybe even different genres. I think maybe I would have friends, bc maybe I would be into more hobbies that were outgoing and forced me to socialize more into the real world. I think maybe I would be more into western porn as well since I believe japanese anime-style media produces the best content that satisfies me sexually. What do you think? What do you think you would be doing if you weren’t into anime, or perhaps to take the premise further, if you weren’t into any japanese media at all?

Probably find other stuff on TV that I can pass the time watching or that can give me as much enjoyment as anime. I don't have any hobbies. I was into drawing at a point. But I couldn't really go far in improving my skills with that.

I'd invest more time into my other hobbies/interests. But my passion for JRPGs would inevitably lead me back to anime. There's just no way around it, I was born for this.

Most likely would watch tv shows, still would play video games, still would end up in college, still would drink some vodka, whisky and beer, still would smoke cigarettes, still would draw rarely, still would sometimes do some sports.

I don't think there would be significant changes.

Movies. Indulging myself in films was all I was doing when I was younger. Every day was spent on watching movies.

if i wasnt into anime id just read a bunch of visual novels and manga all day

if i wasnt into japanese media at all

i'd just play western eroge and visual novels those kinds of games a lot
I have many hundreds of hours in western eroge already so it'd just increase with all the hundreds of hours i've put into JP eroge lol

maybe id watch more shows and stuff aswell I have currently been putting off some of the western shows i was meaning to watch in favour of anime n stuff
there's also chinese animations and manga i'd be more interested in for sure

Played more games. Probably actually have finished all of those fucking HH books lol (at least when you mow through the glut finishing it in like 3-4 years might be possible). Also if you weren't social in general I don't see how not watching anime would have ensured you socialized more. Honestly anime is how I found my best long term friend (friends from other more social spaces came and went). You can always put yourself out there and meet people into anything honestly.  Anime is getting to be a pretty mainstream hobby.

Probably playing video games and maybe being in a higher rank in osu! and my sleep schedule would probably be slightly better since wouldn't be sacrificing sleep to download hentai on my laptop. Or the interest I have in other mediums of entertainment would simply be larger, and I'd probably have over 1200 ratings on IMDb by now. My thirst for expanding my scope in the world of entertainment would inevitably lead me to anime eventually, though.

No matter how much you may try to avoid Anime and Manga it will make way into your life anyway at least through memes

video games, may be other media

"Soul, whether consciously or not, always seeks pleasure." - Gilgamesh.


I disagree with people who say they will work or start family. I will not do something like that with or without anime.

I will work only if they give me a lot of money in exchange. So far they do not seem to offer competitive salaries and perks packages.

Back when I had TrueHellDei, I only talked to her irrespectively of whether there were anime for me to watch or not. However she was worth it. She could give me more pleasure than anime and video games combined. That is why I miss her so.

Probably video games. But i dont think there is any other hobby which can replace anime completely. So not watching anime will probably leave a void in my life i guess.
