Nah, why would I regret doing something I enjoy.

As for getting in the way of schoolwork....
it doesn't matter whether I watch anime or not, I'll still end up postponing my work.

Tbh if you watch the right anime you can learn alot from it so it's not really time waste.

But I do feel my time wasted by watching some really stupid anime.

Mal says that I only spent 13 days of my life watching anime (currently).
Which isn't so bad compared to some other peoples...

I've spent 99 days playing league of legends. And probably the same amount studying art and never getting anywhere with it..

that 13 days of anime is just a drop in the bucket to me, and I enjoyed it for the most part.
The only thing I regret is the time i spent watching shows I didn't like a lot.
and the madoka movies, I wish i could unwatch them.
I don't care.

Every day and every night...I deal with these emotions by watching more anime. I also get depressed...somebody just fucking kill me.

Nooe, I'm not and never have been addicted to it so I haven't lost any life opportunities or missed stuff I cared about due to watching anime. I usually watch anime when I'm eating or when I don't have anything else to do so I don't regret anything.

I don't regret it, the only things I've gained from getting into anime is my wallet's regret from going to conventions and whatnot, but besides that I don't see myself ever regretting watching anime because anime is just really entertaining to watch and that there is so much variety that I can't help but love it...sometimes even the bad shows I've seen can be entertaining in that "So bad it's good" way...but not all of them, just a few of them.

And as for the bad or procrastinating or waste of time anime to make my complete list longer ... whatever. Worth it in a way. An experience.

Not at all.
Life's all about being happy, and if anime is making me happy then there's no way I could regret the time I spend on it!

Although at the same time it does cause me a lot of stress because I neglect my studies sometimes...it's not particularly thrilling to be marathoning an anime and then having to battle with a 30+ page law case or article until the early hours of the morning. Ah well, I guess it's worth it!!

All the time. It's become a form of procrastination for me at this point, where instead of studying or working on programming I get tranced into watching an entire series.

I only regret watching individual anime that ended up sucking and consider them a waste of my time in which I could have watched something better.

I want my days to keep going up. At least I can waste my time on something I like.
I mean, I fell all the way down the steps yesterday, but I got up and kept watching Yuri!!! on Ice like nothing happened. My mom kept yelling at me to put it down, but I didn't want to stop watching it, haha.
Even bad anime aren't a waste of time. It gives me more experience with those anime.

Like did you miss big opportunities in life because of getting addicted to hen- *cough* anime?

As for me, I currently am procrastinating on a P.E report that must be turned in tomorrow morning. Well, who cares about P.E anyway.

I don't know why anyone would regret using their leisure time on something they enjoy. Sure I could be doing something productive with my time like getting some exercise or learning to play the saxophone or some shit like that. But to be honest that all sounds like way too much effort for me.

As if did I skip a job interview because I wanted to watch the newest episode of One Piece asap? Or did I turn down an invitation to a social event because I was binging Clannad?

That would be a no.

All that is left is the unlikely case, where instead of doing something in the house, I go outside just at the right time and have a miraculous stroke of fortune. Like find money on the street. I once found a 5€ bill and was eating free that day. But it is impossible to tell when you're missing on that or not.

Nope. The only thing I might have regretted was the watching of some series that weren't as good as I hoped.

It was either watch anime or bad US tv shows. Anime is a lot more entertaining.

I only watched anime that entertains me cause if it don't then I'm dropping it. I remember the time when I wasn't interested in anime that I waste time by playing video games and by waste time I mean enjoying myself instead of doing something productive.

tldr; No regrets in watching anime.Because it's FUN.

Anime is not waste of time, it's culture. I regret the time I wasted playing video games(other than visual novels), watching tv and american movies when I was a kid.

Nah, I ain't got nothing better to do lololol.

They do say "The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

Plus stuff like anime/manga helps my depression, so I definitely don't regret it.
Of course, there have been bad anime I wish I hadn't wasted my time on lolol.
