of course i would. i love anime, but turning down 50 million dollars? uh, seriously, that's silly. you can find other ways to spend your time. and i'd feel selfish if i didn't turn it down, because that money can help family and charities...

No I won't give up anime because it's one of my hobbies. Having lots of money ain't gonna make me happy but anime does.

Without hesitating. I still have video games, sports, manga, and music to fall back on or entertainment.

I don't want 50 million dollars. Sure I could always use some more cash, but I have no need for that much money. Being that rich changes people. I can imagine that if you have that kind of money nothing will ever feel quite as special or satisfying as it would if you actually worked for it. I'd be satisfied holding a normal job and living a humble lifestyle. Am I crazy?

That said, I would not suffer too greatly if I gave up anime for life. I'd have to find something else to fill my time...hell maybe I'd do something productive for a change '-_- nooooo, I'd probably end up getting sucked into another MMO or something XD

Internet tough guy much? What the hell would you buy that's better than anime? If you need that money to get that sex you seem to desire so much according to your previous post I really wonder who's the sad guy here.


> implying i was paying for sex, instead of the yacht and mexican quartet

you are stupid lol

video games are better than anime tenfold. also, i would rather pay for a gym membership each month so i can stay in shape rather than pay for anime. i would rather buy more computer hardware so i have a nicer machine than spend that money on anime. there's tons more but i'm going to go check on the food in the oven for my FOURTH OF JULY FEAST.
I'm intelligent enough to actually use capital letters where needed. I don't need your fucking yacht, let alone the Mexican quartet. The things you mentioned in your last paragraph are all things you can pay with a normal job. You should mind your own business, and for the record, I weigh a healthy 130 pounds. :D


ooh did i hit a nerve there when i called you stupid? lol you're pathetic, and apparently can't even read your own posts correctly.

nowhere in that specific post, when you asked for things i would rather buy instead of anime, did you say you can't be able to afford it on a regular salary. in fact, i actually helped you out there by not including things i can't already afford now because if i didn't i would have a massive list on my hands and surely that wouldn't be very good when you're trying to prove a point now would it?

unless you're already filthy rich, to turn down 50 mil just so you can watch anime is really kind of sad.
Exactly why you're the idiot, including the things you can already afford doesn't help trying to prove YOUR point at all. IF you can't respect otaku, why are you even on this site? You should visit Facebook or something like that.

watching anime is something I enjoy to pass the time, no way I'd pass up $50 Million though. In all honesty without anime, my life would be a lot more productive, then again with $50 Million there would be no reason to be productive.

I'd probably invest/save it all and live off interest, then Coach Track and Field for enjoyment.

Seems like I've been stalking you quite much? Just kidding, not in a creepy way, but you just said what's exactly on my mind.

But that's 100% true, money won't make me as happy as anime does. ♥

I would take the money, then use it to anonymously kill the man who paid me.

This would allow me to own money + watch anime.

Seems like a few people here couldn't care less about anime.. it's sad in my opinion. I am proud of watching it (well, at least it's not something I'm ashamed of).

I think I would need to think a lot before I made a decision. I might just take the money though.. simply because you can do a lot of other things with that money. That being said, it would be a hard decision - money doesn't equal happiness. I really wouldn't want to stop watching anime.

Right now I would have to say yes. It's simply too much money to pass on.

Not surprising that the majority says yes, but what makes me a little surprised is some of the "no" explanations.

Fifty million dollars is a lot of money, hell the question should have been, would you give up anime for $1 million and the results are practically the same.


Anyways going back to the "no" sayers, I find it weird since the most people usually bitch and whine about most anime not being good and calling it every name in the book.

Hell, members from MAL are more harsh on anime than anime haters (I mean the kind that hates ALL anime). Which really makes you think why exactly they even watch anime if their purpose is to bash and make fun other anime and it's fans.

Either way, I think of anime as a hobby, a hobby that truthfully is not even that great anymore, like everything else, the fans are the cause of the downfall than the actual product, I would probably give up anime for a lot less than 50 million.

True, but you forget that they are here because they like anime. So, if they find something they don't like they are more likely to be harsh on it. There are always people who watch in order to criticize though. Not only in anime.
Besides, anime haters do not actually watch anime, do they? Their points are much more general than anime fans, which is why they seem less harsh.

And I don't think there is any significant downfall, it 's just that more shows are now fansubbed and not only the better ones, as was the case in the 90s. How many bad shows have you seen from 2008 and how many from 1998? It's not like they don't exist, we just haven't heard about them.

As for the question I would say no. I would never put a restriction on what I can do for money (or anything else offered to me, for that matter) and definitely not for the rest of my life. Even if you have other things to do, in the end, you are still restricted.

The majority may say yes, but most of these people are thinking they can cheat their way out of the deal. Several say so in their posts as well. And frankly, with 50mil you probably can.

That would suck but yes. Since I probably wouldn't ever get the chance to get 50 million again.

But once I get my money, there's really no need to keep up my end of the deal. lol

Sure~ Id give up anime....for about 10 minutes, and then back to my old habits. Not for much of the new stuff coming out now, but for all of the great older stuff I have yet to see!

I can see that 50mil getting funneled right back into the anime/video game/manga market with enthusiam...

Pfft. Bye bye anime. Hello endless supply of video games and manga.

I don't know. It'll be tough, but I think I'll find some way to cope. Somewhere between lounging on my private island and buying a dozen unicorns.
