Definitely. I'd survive. I have other forms of entertainment... cartoons, video games, Internet, books, etc.

No, but because I find giving up something I enjoy for money to be quite silly.

If the thread question is replaced with this question "If a person offers you 50 million dollars and told you to kill your mother would you do it?", it would have VERY similar responses.

Any questions like these are pure nonsense.

And yes, my answer to such questions would be " F*** You ! "

Oh yes, give up anime, kill my mother, I can definitely see the parallel... -_-

No, it wouldn't because those questions are on entirely different levels. If you honestly think that way, I'll be the first to say that that is just damn creepy.

hehe no sane human would deny that kind of money.

I would probably see it from a different perspective though, what is gonna keep you from NOT watching anime after accepting the 50 million dollars? Rules are meant to be stretched and ignored in certain exceptions, its not like its going to kill people or what was the catch?
Even if I took the money I would never obey that law, I would do anything to slip through it or sneakpeak a little every now and then.

On top of that... more manga!

oh well your right. I'll be on my way to create the "Sayonara Anime Foundation for the Underprivileged" once i get that sum of $$$

That way many people will thank anime's existence, and even influence them to let them spread the anime love...

I've heard of people doing it, when I lived in southern thailand, I've heard of people sacrificing their family members for crazy money lust with no repentance. Some of them don't even need money in the first place, they just want to become filthy rich and the means don't matter to them. The world is bigger than you think.

I think that it is wrong to exhange someone or something close to a person with money, mostly because whenever I hear such things, it reminds of those inhuman incidents I stated above. My family is close to me, and so are my hobbies (anime is my primary one). I have made very beautiful memories with them, and want to make more in the future, they are not replaceable with money.

Still think I'm creepy ?

Why didn't you just say so in the first place? =__= provocations and hating is nonsense, not a 7 pages long discussion about something that can only happen in a dreamworld. Just taste on the difference in realism

I'm not sure how people would pass their time without anime. I mean it's fine for people who have never been exposed to it, to just stick with their pulp TV crap for entertainment, but giving up anime once it's a regular part of your entertainment is asking too much; especially with the extra free time the money would offer most people (no work etc).

I'm retired, and fairly well off, so maybe I have a different perspective to most people here who aren't financially secure. However, anime is one of my primary forms of entertainment, even when I'm not watching a lot it's still always there for me to get back to. I have no idea what I'd fill that void with otherwise. There's nowhere near enough worthwhile television and movies, and I don't care for gaming much these days.

I would accept 50 milions and still watch anime. Ouch, I would lie, right? Who cares.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion".

That's tough... If I had that kinda money I would be tempted to buy all sorts of anime and goodies... But maybe I would give up for the money, would change my life style. I'd probably cave in after a while though.

I would take the money and erase the persons' memory, I don't need it but if someone is handing it to me on a plate, how could you not resist, I'll just make sure to invest it wisely.

Nope....Anime is built into my system.. I would die along with it! XD
Plus, it taught me some well learned lessons in my lifetime that I would have never learned otherwise... and I wouldnt be willing to give that up just for money that wont last forever. Plus.. if I did take the money... I would be addicted to buying expensive things with it.. then when I ran out.. I would have some sort of mental crash, sway back and forth.... then hire a ninja assassin for the person that offered the money in the first place! buahahaha!!

I've watched enough anime to know that the true hero would say "yes", and then promptly give the money anonymously to an orphanage about to shut down, while walking off into the distance with one single, manly tear reflecting the glint of a sublimely rewarding sunset.

Seriously -- with an offer at that level of money and with no connected ethical complications, I'd personally see it as a philanthropic imperative to give it up.

Lol. It's hard to believe that this topic is still going. I don't believe anyone would refuse the money no matter what you say on here. For me, I'd be buying miniatures and mtg cards and manga. There's still lots for me to do after anime. Even though anime is my 1st choice.

Yes, why the hell not? But, would the contract be void if I somehow got a glimpse of anime by accident? I would probably have to live in seclusion and be very careful of where I go.
