| Specifically, that means, apart from watching anime, do you: -Watch anime review videos and anime ytbers? -Listen to anime podcasts? -Look at or do your own cosplay? -Go to anime conventions? etc Personally I don't do any of those things except only watching anime, but I wonder to what extent others go. |

| I only watch anime and that's it. :) Ok, I also download all my favorite OPs, EDs, and insert songs. |
 |
I was planning to go to a convention once but then I saw this in the news: |
 |
| Draw fanarts, attend conventions, collect merchs/figures. Read manga and some VNs if that counts here. VNs specifically I wouldn't get into at all without getting into anime, but manga I did get into before anime. |
| I only watch anime and listen to anime music. Don't have any incentive to spend on merchandise, and was always put off by the idea of conventions in general. |

| - I go to conventions, both in my town (my town has 3 free ones a year) and away. - I buy Anime merchandise if that counts? - I listen to Anime music (OP/EDs) - I follow a Cosplay-themed wrestling promotion - I play Anime videogames - I do like looking at Cosplays of my waifus, but I'm very picky about their appearances, and and I've only ever seen Rin cosplayed once or twice (couldn't tell if it was the same person or not). - I do also like browsing Cosplay mags/books, but don't have any interest in participating in cosplay myself. |

| I have a whole bunch of songs on Spotify from different anime I listen to regular. I went to n event recently but not many exist where I live. I have a few bits of Anime merch too. |
 |
| I check fanart and buy stuff related to series I want to support. |
 |
| I don't go very far. Sometimes I watch YT videos about anime. I also check out random shops when I come across them just to see what they currently do, and be amazed at random things like they sell Redo of Healer at my local MediaMarkt [German electronics store], or check out the cool fanart that a local manga shop puts up at their entrance ... not sure if you would call that a real engagement. (I've started reading an LN, I've listened to some OP/EDs, I've visited nhentai, I've looked up an anime desktop wallpaper ....) |
| "I don't know everything, I only know what the internet knows." - Definitely not best girl. "To ask is a moment's shame. Not to, lifelong." - I quoted with a posed look. |
| None of the above, I've never been to conventions nor do I ever want to. But I have some anime figures and I bought some Blu-ray of shows that I actually really liked. Which says a lot since I rarely buy those. (Princess Principal and movies and Neptunia anime) along with a wall scroll. |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas |
| My engagement with anime related contents only goes as far as hentai |
| This world is mine ! |
| I read and write some trash here on MAL |
*kappa* |
| I watch a lot of anime reactions from several YT channels and ocasionally I watch an anime review or something like that. I do buy merch, the last figures I bought were a Rei Ayanami figure from the 3.0 + 1.0 movie and a Makise Kurisu figure. |
| "Those words are meant for those that dare defy god's final warning... An epigraph of their stubbornness" - Maho Hiyajo (Steins;Gate 0)    |
| I go to some anime conventions and smaller events on the regular. Recently I joined this Dallas Anime Meetup group on Discord that goes to the aforementioned conventions/events and throw their own parties as well. And I actually did a cosplay at AnimeFest this year, albeit a low-effort getup. I've got a few manga books, I've got a couple anime themes in my iTunes collection, I've got a TenSura decal on my car and a Deku air freshener inside it. That's the extent of my swag though. |

| I did cosplay, I wanted to attend anime-related events, and I think I did most of what I wanted to do. |
        |
| But I don't see why i would ever listen to amateurs' podcast on YouTube.. I rather watch Pat Bevs podcast at least he is a pro. |
| I'm going to anime conventions from time to time, just for the vibe and looking out for stuff I want to have (either the latest volume of a manga I'm reading, figures of my favorite characters or merchandise of my favorite shows). Furthermore I'm sometimes watching videos of Youtubers talking about my favorite shows, just to see how they think of it. I also have playlists with my favorite OPs, EDs and OSTs of the shows I like. |
| I only watch anime and some videos of Garnt and Joey. |
 |
| The only anime content I engage in is watching pirated anime shows on my laptop. I dont watch any anime Youtube vids lol. |
| Here is my Pixiv account of my hentai drawings..... https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/104739065 Here is my blog.... https://theendofindustrialcivilization.blogspot.com/?m=1 |
| "To what extent do you engage with anime related contents?" 10-20% |
| I don't really do anything besides watching anime :) |
| It's weird reading the comments here, I thought it was normal and everyone who is interested in anime watches some reviews, podcasts or reactions on YT or wherever xD Apart from watching anime: - I watch reactions, podcasts, reviews and generally all anime-related content on YT - I collect mangas (I don't know if that counts) - I listen to anime music |
| I watch some anime. I have only really watched one YouTuber maybe once per month. Have only been to one official convention. I have listened to some anime music, and then got on to a lot of musicians from Japan, including pianists and other electronic music from there which I enjoyed quite a lot. It's a tangent off anime I suppose. I read occasional reviews, but the only site I could find a lot of them in one place for seasons is ANN which tends to have very immature politically-motivated opinions that are annoying, so I just write my own now. |
| The thing about conventions is I won't go to them because of age.. even the one convention I went to in like 2006, I was in my 20s, and still felt out of place because the average participants looked to be about 15. I wouldn't go near one now! |
| I talk with some friends about anime and make some arts or at least try (lol) |
| I stop watching anitubers, stop listening to Trash Taste (If they count as anime podcast) and never cosplay before I would like to go to an anime convention one day, I listen to anime ost, play anime games and read manga |
 |
| collecting merch, playing anime games, listening to OP/ED, reading doujinshi and stuff like that. |
| No I do not watch youtubers because I noticed allot of them are way to immature or creepy or cringe. "Well there is 1 I like but yeah it´s very very rare" I don´t listen to podcasts at all for anything. I don´t cosplay because Im to poor and to useless for it. Nor do look at it. Because it would only remind me how shit I am. Anime conventions does not exist in my country we used to have 1 but it was always located in our capital city which is 8 hours away by train so no. I do not collect figures because they cost and arm and a leg. I don´t even have any friends to speak about anime so meh. What I do is. Watch anime Play anime games (preferbly jrpgs) Pisses me if they always need to make fighting games based on animes >.< I do look at figure but every time I see the price tag 500-1000 bucks im like nope to broke even the 100 dollar nendriods are out of my reach im lucky I can afford 60 euro games. |

| @HattoriSoul Is there a particular reason why you stopped watching anitubers and trash taste? |
| Itsuki > |
| @KeepCalmAndMal watch JP seiyuu YouTube contents and streams Thats interesting. Do you have trouble understanding Japanese though? Sometimes the captions are badly translated. |
| Itsuki > |
| i went to a convention once, thats about it |
  |
| i'm not about getting judged for talking about sao in anime convention lol. i engage a lot in game, didn't even skip the engage animation most of the time cause the way they say it is like music to my ears. |
| I watch anime, listen to anime music, anime related games and YT videos as well as if possible, anime related merch and events like convention. That's all. |
