| No I haven't because anime is based and so am I. |
Attackonfiller said: I'm watching anime because I'm a normal person with a normal life. ^ THIS Couldn't have said it better. Dunno where the ideology comes from that people who enjoy anime are somehow always socially inept sub humans or something like the O.P. is implying ? |
Attackonfiller said: I'm watching anime because I'm a normal person with a normal life. Same, it's just a hobby as long it's in moderation. |
| Sometimes. Only because it's the "normal guys with normal lives" that get picked to be isekai protagonists |
 |
| In terms of hobbies: The definition of “normal” changes a lot. Anime is growing in popularity and acceptance So perhaps one day being an otaku would be considered as “normal” as being a gamer. In terms of humanity: what the heck is a “normal” person. Everyone’s unique, there’s just social expectancies that some people ignore |
| My poor signature was removed because it “took up too much space” |
| Anime's radioactivity messed up my DNA and now I've got both anime and shit in my DNA |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |

| I think we live in different times now. Not quitting anime is the new normal. |
| not really, I have slowed down on the amount of anime I watch but I don’t think I’ll ever quit it completely |
 |
| That's assuming this website is not full of normies already. |
| i feel like i need to clarify, a lot of people here claim to be "normal". clearly you are not being truthful as you are currently looking at a mal forum thread... serious answers only from now on please! |

| I was already an unambitious, no-life loser by the time I started watching anime in my early 20s, so I don't see how quitting it would improve my life in any way. I'm the one who has long-unresolved issues; it's not anime's fault that I won't do something about it. |

| I have never thought about quitting anime to become a normal person with a normal life |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| Fun fact: It's possible to be a normal person while watching anime. |
 |
| Anime is a gateway drug once you start you can't stop, it just so happens that this one of my hobbies and just like any other hobby I don't plan on stopping. There have been times I was burnt out tho. |
| I too dream of quitting anime. I am convinced my love for Ping Pong the Animation is why I don't have a 401k. |
 |
| Does watching anime make you not a normal person? |
| Watching anime is a super common thing nowadays. It's normal to watch it so you're still a normal person for doing so and even if you have seen a lot you can still live a normal life. Also dude you're not that far off from normie lol. |
 |
| Anime is mainstream now, you can calm down. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| I actually have a normal life, I'm watching anime as a hobby |
    ☁ |
| Watching anime doesn't make you any less normal of a person, you probably just lack self-discipline in regards to moderation, management and possibly, priority in life. |
 |
| Quitting anime wont give you a normal life lol Only you get to decide what type of a life is "normal" for you based on the goals you want to accomplish in it. Living your "normal" life to the fullest isn't about partying all day and night, it's about perusing the things that give your life meaning. Unless anime is taking your entire day and ruining your health, which I highly doubt it is, you don't need to quit watching anime to do what you need to do to enrich your life. |

| Sorry to burst some bubbles, but watching anime doesn't make you different or special. Anime is just a form of entertainment. Watching TV shows, watching movies, reading, playing sports, etc. are just hobbies. Even participating in a forum is just a pass-time. Every hobby has its weird people (the ones who think their special for participating in that hobby) but the reality is you are not different. Just enjoy your hobby and don't be a fucking weirdo about it. What do you consider a "normal" life? I have friends and people I talk to who both share do not share my enjoyment of anime. I have a family who has no interest in anime, but I am still as close to them as any other average family. I'm planning to get a job that has nothing to do with anime. Despite all this, I will always continue to watch and buy anime content most likely for the rest of life. This is normal for me. |
| Meow meow meow meow and meow shogi, meow meow meow meow and meow shogi. Taking one step a time, I work and try my best. Though I'm the weakest of the bunch, Expect from me a good paw punch! Meow meow pawn, meow shogi. |
| What is your definition of normal. Because I'm pretty sure having a hobby, that a lot of people have now, is considered normal. |
 |
| No. I like watching anime and probably won't quit |
 |
| What is a normal person? I think someone who doesn't watch anime is considered normal. |
  |
| Doctors removed the anime tumor from me a few months ago, but sadly we were too late and now I am doomed to watch Japanese cartoons for all of eternity |
 |
| Anime is a genre like any other. Nothing special about quitting it or watching it~ The term normy is a bit cringe too |
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ODDTAXI OR SAIKI K I'LL BONK YOU IN THE HEAD |
| But watching anime is perfectly normal... Especially nowadays. |
  |
| You're only young, prioritize these things 1. Get a job, this is most important lol 2. Stable income to support yourself 3. Your own living space 4. Learn to deal with the societal pressure (aka, this normal life you speak of), accept your situation or work to better it. Then you can do whatever the hell you want. |
stanuwu said: i personally thought about it sometimes, just leaving everything behind and start again as a normie but its just way too boring You are ignoring the fact that many have already been functional members of society. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| I already don't watch anime as frequently as I used to, and I gotta say, I still don't feel quite that "normal". Anime or not, I'm still a weird guy with a weird personality and I wouldn't have it another way. |

| "A normal person..." No, I won't quit anime. |

stanuwu said: i personally thought about it sometimes, just leaving everything behind and start again as a normie but its just way too boring What is this? Do you really think it is pathological to like this culture? Very strange. I like anime and manga and I am completely normal! Same goes for many people. |
 |
| I don't think having a hobby that is now somewhat common and accepted is not normal. Anyone can be social and etc. regardless of their hobby. You sound in your post like someone who watched thousands of anime and ceased being "normal" because of it. It is overly exaggerated after seeing your profile to be honest. Don't take it as an offense please. |
