| Or do you watch it casually? (I'm borrowing gamer terms here.) Is there another form of entertainment you value more than anime? |
| You're going down, punk... |
| Definitely yes. For me, it's the best source of entertainment. |
 |
| At this point - yeah, pretty much. I used to be much more into gaming and beekeeping of all things, but after a series of unfortunate events circa 2018 those stopped being real options, so now it's anime, manga, VN and an occasional JRPG. |
| Not really, I watch anime/read manga and read books just around the same. |
 |
| If I measure its importance to me with how much time I spend with it compered to other hobbies then I say no, it is only at most at the second or maybe at the third place. In this year I spent more time with reading, last year more time with watching movies and around the same time with playing games. |
 |
| I guess 40% games, 60% anime. Nyron said: watching TV is not a hobby, so if someone says "yes" to this they probably have a pretty vacuous life Define "hobby" |
| Yes, anime is definitely my main hobby. I watch anime almost daily. |
| 65% anime/manga, 20% gaming, 15% watching educational videos, ufc related stuff and random stuff on yt. |

| Anime is not my main hobby, and it's probably on equal terms with my other 2 main hobbies, which I've been into way longer than Anime. Anime is my newest hobby still. I interchange Anime with watching Pro Wrestling and reading Books, as I just can't stick to solely watching Anime. |

@BigBoyAdvance something you do in your free time that's constructive
theoretically consuming media could be constructive if you use the knowledge you gained to write reviews, make content, become inspired to make your own stuff, or even just posting about it to share discussions, etc. but just passively consuming shows with no subsequent output is the same as saying "breathing is my hobby"

| >constructive That's where your definition of a hobby is flawed. Hobbies are activities done for pleasure, relaxation, or to pursue personal interests. There is no requirement for it to be constructive. It can be degenerative or destructive and it's still a hobby if it's done for pleasure. |
| I consider it my main hobby, but I haven't been to properly indulge in it for the past year. I'm also trying to get more into games, so trying to juggle the time commitments for both is rough. |

| 1. Games 2. Films (real & animated) 3. Music |

| Games and Anime are my two top media intrests. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Animanga is my biggest and main hobby, followed by music and gaming. |
 "You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of." - Vladilena Milizé |
| I guess yes. Watching anime and reading manga are the only thing I do consistently. Playing video games and playing sports are also my hobbies but I believe they take up less of my time. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Yes, anime and manga are my main sources of entertainment.γΎβ (β ο½₯β ωβ ο½₯β *β )β οΎ |

| Yes. Videogames used to be my main hobby but because I don't have as much time anymore, I started watching time. I think that if I had infinite time, videogames would be my main hobby. |
 |
| At this point, yes. Also used to juggle in video games, comic books, and pro wrestling. But don't have as much spare time to commit to all of them like I used to. |
| Almost, maybe getting there, but I'd say no. |
| Yes, it is my main hobby, my secondary hobby is building Gunpla. I watch anime pretty much daily, if given the chance to do so. |

| Yes, anime and manga/light novels are my main 'hobby' :) |
| Not at all. The time I've spent in reading is much more than the amount I have in watching anime. Although, reading is my 2nd biggest hobby. My actual main hobby is drawing! It's probably why I've spent more time reading manga than anime. |

@BigBoyAdvance >do
there's problem. passively consuming is not "do"ing

| Watching anime counts as doing an activity. An activity is any action or process that someone engages in, and watching a movie involves actively viewing and experiencing the content on the screen. |
| It's my secondary. Video games are my main hobby and I have been spending a lot more time with them recently, especially with Persona 3 Reload just launching |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| It isn't main, probably top 5 though |

Playing video games and watching anime are the only recreational activities I do but despite everything I do it to pass the time.
There are probably thousands of better things I could do but I don't have the desire or ability.

| I’ll say it’s in my top 3 which are Anime, music and sports |
| It used to be for many years, but I took a break in 2021/2022 and after I came back to anime recently I started watching it more casually. I don't really have any hobbies other than watching stuff, but now I don't prioritize anime over other forms of media anymore - I watch anime, regular movies and TV series, and lately also Kdramas. |
 |
| Anime is one of my two forms of entertainment. The other one is supporting my football club and going to their matches. I also like to go to football matches as a neutral spectator and visit their stadiums, but I'm not doing this very often. Most of the time during summer time. |

| Yes, anime and video games are my main entretiment source but i like doing some video editing too. |
 |
| For me definitely yes. 1- anime 2- gaming 3- music |
| It is my main hobby, yes. I think I'd prefer listen to music and playing videogames more, but whatever, anime is my main hobby and I'm fine with it. |
| Yes, it's the hobby of mine that takes the most of time. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| It is and I like drawing and writing right next to it. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| My main hobby changes over time and cycles back. Anime was my main hobby in 2010-2013, and in 2020 until maybe end of 2022. I got into toy photography by end of 2022 and it's my main hobby as of currently. |
| Is hiding your agenda behind an alt your *main* means of living? Kekw |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| I used to consider watching Anime my primary hobby but now that's not the case it'd be Gaming for me. But other hobbies i have are stuff like cooking and cosplaying which i want to expand on. |
 |
| Not really. My main hobby is being into tech stuff. Then, videogames. Anime and manga are more of an occasional thing for me. |
| Location: Turin, Italy Hobby: Music, karate, manga Favourite food: Hey, why are still interested in my stuff? |
| Im more of a gamer. Then probably anime |
   The Perfect Duo - has one who thinks and one who do's. To have a party, there's at least two When the world is dark, and you feel near to end. Just remember there's hope, in the form of a friend. |
| Nope, I'm involved in multiple fandoms like video game, K-pop/K-drama, superhero (DC is my big bias), and probably other stuff. |
