| I was going to create this topic but look at that it existed 2 years ago! No I don't use anime to escape and I just watch it for entertainment and don't think it is less flawless than our world. |

| You must be a good necromancer. |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |
| Kind of. I mean life is good and all and I have no problems but its kind o dull. So anime is sort of an escape into more excitement. |
| Kind of. I find settings/plots in anime to be surreal and cool. |
  |
| No because I have friends and nobody bullies me. |

| Video games. Watching anime feels like work. |
 |
| Yes, because IRL is boring. |
| Sometimes. When I feel that nothing is working for me, I just watch anime and then sleep hoping the anime I watched transitioned into my dreams as well... |
 |
| No, I'd need a rocket to do that, not an anime. |
 |
| If my world is cake then anime is the icing. |
Veronin said: I don't have anything to escape from. I just sit in my room all day. Hah, how things have changed. I don't think I'd even be sane anymore without daily escapism. |

| Sure, in the same way I enjoy watching movies at the theater or reading a thick chapter book for a few hours without stop. Getting sucked into an Anime series for awhile is very much enjoyable and can often alleviate any stress you might have bottled up from school, work or whatever ails you from the day, especially if a few laughs are mixed in there and it happens to be a favorite of yours. |

| Maybe on a very small subconscious level, but otherwise no. Though anime can be very relaxing. |

Tbh, I personally would feel like a loser if I counted on anime to help me escape from reality. My life isn't that boring. But I won't judge anyone else, because I use sort of use music to escape instead. Anime music. |

| I watch it mostly to get a laugh esp. when I have hella long breaks waiting from one class to the next. |
Korrvo said: I like lolis. I don't like them sexually. It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers. But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs. http://imgur.com/qgjKHGn |
| I use world to escape the anime. |
| Nope. I use games for that. But even then, i don't fully escape the reality. |
| Rhetorical question. Do butterflies enjoy Incest with their third cousins? I mean this question is just about as straight-forward as that. Anyway, I don't use it to "escape the world" However, I do enjoy using it as a method to help me with my writing. When I write, I typically inverse myself in the world that I'm creating, so I guess you could say anime indirectly helps me "escape the world" |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |
| Hmmm, I guess not, because no matter what I do I have to face that reality sure it's bad and boring but it's the only one I have, I'll just have to take everything I can get :3 XD ~Vir Fortis Natus |
| Yep, I'm training with Goku and Gohan now. To bad i can't show you my powers. |
 .. |
| It dont work for me |

| i certainly do...i like to escape reality in all honesty |
| Most ppl say yes....i kinda agree tbh as it makes u forget about stressful things or problems in the real world u have :) but u cant actually ESCAPE from reality as were living in reality....someday we are gonna face the challenge head on.....its just how we deal with the problem...is the most important thing |
 |
| I don't watch anime to escape reality. I watch it to expose myself to new ideas, to confront art and analyze human thought. Doesn't sound like escapism to me. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| 100 percent. When I watch anime I forget all my problems. Bad effect is I get addicted though and wished everything is an anime haha |
| I haven't really tough about it that way, I just enjoy anime so I watch it, but maybe I do watch it to escape reality. |
 |
| There are many of them in japan, hikikiomori or otaku. and i don't think it's a bad thing. well i can't blame them for rejecting reality for various reasons. i can only blame reality, or more like, spesifically society for making them rejecting reality. |

No one necessarily needs to be a hiki or an outsider to want to leave reality sometimes. Life is quite tough ain't it |
| Do you have FaceBook? If you have anime friends there... 80% of them will constantly share posts labelled "Anime helps me escape this bullshit called reality" |
| No. I watch anime to experience a different view of life. |
| I would be a liar if I said no. However, I prefer it when a show forces me to think and face my problems than let me run away from them. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| I like to inherit the struggles of the characters I see on screen to soften the issues I deal with every day. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| I guess it depends on what one may come to understand and accept as "reality". I personally find anime to be the most truthful and beautiful art form; image and sound comes together to form the most extravagant and complete form of poetry that mankind has ever achieved. :) If one does separate reality and fantasy, anime may be one of the most enjoyable forms to indulge and find escapism... I guess ? |
 |
| I use anime to pass time. If I'm bored, I watch anime. |
 |
| I do it sometimes just to relax from all problems |

| Yes I do watch it to escape from reality, primarily when things are bleak and dark in my life and all I want to do is just hide away from everyone and everything. But I'm slowly progressing out if it and sort out my reality so it won't be so bad. |
 |
| Yes i use it to escpae reality and forget everything |

| Yeah sometimes, only very bad days. |
| Absolutely. For me, anime offers unique experience. After all, there are some things we can never become in real world and for those who have imagination that is strong enough to put them in place of a character they can relate with most. Thankfully, i'm blessed with this, maybe to that extend that i would call it a curse. I enjoy long anime especially due to this very reason. Anime reminds me how most people in real life don't need that much to be good and kind but at the same time, how far they are from actually being it. |
| Patiently waiting for the best day of my life, the day when i die. |
