_Konoyaro_ said: I've watched about 1610 anime, but I am still adding anime to MAL since I've only joined this site on February 26th 2021 (so there's a lot more). At this point I've realized that the majority of anime I've watched was probably a waste of time (pretty late to realize that huh?). Sure watching anime is fun and all and there are certain things you learn from it (Japanese, history, culture...), but it shouldn't get out of hand. I could have invested my time in exercising, learning new stuff, school etc... We did have the whole lockdown thing, so there was a lot of free time, but really try to keep yourself from watching too much anime. I mean if it's your only hobby I won't refrain you from watching it (I can't do that either way lol), but try to set a certain limit for yourself and spend more time doing healthy stuff (it's worth it!). Let me know what you think about this. I think if you regret it then maybe watching anime is not necessarily entertainment for its own sake. Like you might not genuinely enjoy anime or at least some of the shows you watched. If you didn't (and I've been there before) maybe try asking yourself whether you were watching anime for some other sake, like a distraction from everyday life, and so on. It might seem less meaningless if you can answer that. No reason to put yourself down for enjoying something more than other things. Personally, I think that anime was and remains an important part of my life in the same way those other things you mentioned are (school, exercise, etc). |
| No, it's like any other hobby. Watching tv, playing games, reading, crafting, etc. could all be called "wastes of time" I guess but at the point, what isn't a waste of time? Just working? Nah. |
