| and are you still the same? how much have you changed? i was a naive 15 y/o unabashed weeb who spent too much time on animu, manga, and video games. i really liked yaoi and yuri more than i do now. idk, i'd have to really think about how i've changed. i still jerk it to hentai, but not as much as i used to. i'm not as autistic at wanting to defend hxh and naruto against one piece tards, that's for sure. |
 Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places But we're trash, you and me We're the litter on the breeze We're the lovers on the streets Just trash, me and you It's in everything we do It's in everything we do |
| one thing i remember when i was 15 was i started talking to this girl who was as cringey of a weeb as i was, and we got really close which started bothering me a little, and over time as i started getting more sheltered off from everyone IRL and online, i stopped talking to her regularly. she was always really sweet, and seemed as in need of someone like i was, and i feel like shit for just stopping my talking to her with no real explanation from me. especially since she was having problems in school and with other people, kinda like i was. |

| October 6th 2014 So... I was 20. xD I would of been back into anime for a while at that point, so my guess is I was probably introduced by my college's Anime Club and figured it'd be a useful tool for keeping track of what I've seen. |
 |
| I was 14 lol I was an edgy emo weeb. Now I barely watch anime and my tastes and opinions have changed a lot. |

| I was 15 as well, i don't really want to look at my older posts, the cringe would probably be too much. As for if i've changed i hope so. |
| i was 14 i've changed a bit in the little over a year i've spent on mal tho |

| I was 15 I think Looking at old posts I think I've changed a lot, not as cringy |
 |
| i was 25 from simple math but i was still at the workforce during those time so im not much active back then |
| I was 12 (2011) I'm turning twenty soon |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Well the day I joined MAL was also the same day for my first experience with anime. Jan. 17, 2017 - so I would have been 25 at the time. |
 |
| 16 at the time of my join date, during that time i switched from tv mostly to anime mostly but back to tv mostly again |
 |
| Joined when I was 19. Didn't use my profile for talking much 'till GameTrailers shat the bed in 2012, and I took a break from the public forums between, let's say 2014 and 2017 because the repetitive threads created in AD were boring. Pretty much the same dude for all intents and purposes. Those who know me from GT know my dirt, and to that I say "Well, we all make mistakes." |
 |
| Since I joined MAL on technically 2010 so I was 16. At first I didn't mean to engage myself to the forums and MAL was supposedly a mere tracking site to me. Well I remembered I used to follow all Key-related anime, such as joining Key-related clubs. Well, as time went on, my taste vary so I prefer watching various kinds of anime instead of sticking the standard Key formula. Oh and I remembered that I used to hate NTR too but at some point NTR is one of my most favorite tags on hentai. |

| Almost 18, I guess? I joined during the month of my birthday. |

| I was 19 (almost 20) and almost a year since I joined MAL and I think nothing much changes though at first I wasn't a CGDCT fan but now maybe I am |
| 9 years ago, I was a little snotty nosed brat if I recall correctly. I always used caps lock if I disagreed, Good ol' days. I wonder how my old friends are doing sometimes. |
 Steam: Zeemanhuismerk |
| 21 I think. Pretty silly that I chose to spend my early twenties here. |
| 27 - I've been watching anime off and on for years, but didn't know a place like this existed until last year. |
| I was 22. A friend of mine introduced me to MAL. To help me keep track of things, since my short term memory is not very good. |
 |
| 15, and I haven't changed at all since then. But the time i spend on MAL these days are far less compared to back then. |
| 13 years old. I didn't even like anime back then (only saw Fate/Stay Night and thought it was okay) but my weeb friend successfully roped me into making an account here. I only used the site to find interesting anime until 2015 when I used the forums for the first time. My friend has long since left the site while I continued to stay. I'd say I changed for the better I guess. I was always itching to get banned stir up trouble by posting dumb stuff, but I kinda grew tired of that. I also used to binge anime and play video games occasionally, but now it's the total opposite. |

| I joined MAL the summer i turned 17. It's my 10th year on MAL next month. |
| I was 16 when I made my first account, but 20 when I became a fucking moron. |
| Joined in 2016 because I was so moved by an anime I felt I needed to rate it on here. I was 20.. I've been steadily going downhill ever since. |
 Anime was the catalyst of my life's downward spiral. Joining MAL was the nail in my coffin.  Every day I keep screaming into the void, but god just tells me to shut up. |
| I believe I was 16 or 17. After I had this as an archive to keep track of what I watched, I more than doubled the amount of anime that I had seen in like 3 months lol. |

Violymph said: why are there so many people here younger than me now.i used to want to make an account so badly but i felt guilty being below the age so i waited until the day after i turned 13 i made an account i remember being one of the youngest people here. what a sad thing to come to terms with, really.  |

| I joined in 2015, when I was 18 years old. I found the site through a user of another forum in which I have been almost three years. About if I changed ... yes. I used to be a pretty decaffeinated troll and I went to my ball. Over the years I have become something more cruel but more great. I am something like your goddess, you do not see me but I am above you. |

| Uh... -checks- Aww, I was 15, just fourteen days away from my birthday. I think I was a junior in high school when I made this account, so at that time I had decided that I wanted to take my hobby of animating and receive more formal training for it. So I kinda started analyzing the heck out of animation, but also stories, characters, and such. I wasn't actually on MAL too much besides lurking and was way more into playing with other artists using our art in the art community-- also roleplaying. I'm 24 now and I guess not too much has changed. Almost everything is the same just more... honed (for better or worse)? Like, I want to say nearly everything people can point out about me now has roots to when I was 15. I don't roleplay anymore, and recently I started feeling that spending so much time on art when I don't want to do professional art is holding me back from what I actually want to do. I guess I am changing, and if that's the case then I guess the biggest thing is trying to find focus and grounding now. Age 15 is when I jumped around from hobby to hobby: drawing, animating, roleplaying, writing, etc. Today, I'm just trying to cut as much of that out as I can. At 15 I thought I could do it all, but now I realize that it's hard to be a jack of all trades, master of none and survive. I'm still in that trap and am surrounded by a cloud of uncertainty because I've kinda been roped into having a backup plan... but what I actually want to do is being put on hold so much that I'm scared I won't be able to recover. Is it really a backup plan when you're spending four more years getting a degree for it? I don't know what to feel anymore or like I don't want to believe my main dream won't come true. I don't know. I feel like the uncertainty now comes across even in the way I type. It's like I can't get short, concise thoughts anymore. Everything is cloudy now as opposed to the do everything and have fun creating vibe I had when I was 15. |
| Joined 3 weeks before my 22nd birthday |
 |
| 14 lol. But I took a long break from anime (and by extension MAL) few months after I joined MAL. I came back in late 2017. |
 |
| 17, the time when I can still relate to almost every school setting anime. By relate I mean because we're the same age and not because I experience the same things. |
 |
| 2 years ago i was a shy, closeted otaku, depressed & lonely otaku who only used MAL as a site for listing my anime.. but now I'm a shy, Open(about my otaku side), EVEN MORE DEPRESSED & LONELY OTAKU who is 2 years older than the one before :3 was 18 i think then :3 |
