Would it make any difference at all?

I think my life would be pretty much the same shit except a little more boring, not sure what else i would do with my spare time during the week. Maybe i would have a better sleep pattern idk

I'd probably use my free time to do something else. Probably watch/play something that my school friends would watch/play if they also didn't have anime to watch (considering they got me into anime after all)
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

I'm one of those "I'd be dead" types.

Quite a few anime had great moments to help with the negative thoughts. There's also the fact that many of my childhood friends got extremely into drugs while I stayed at home grinding in rpgs with FMA and other anime playing nearby. A decade later, I'm awesome (and spending a bit too much on figures and BDs, I'd also have way more money!)

I would probably be less of a degenerate and actually be bit of a different person. I would be a full time music nerd and probably I would have found out about Japanese music while trying to dig up for some albums on Rate Your Music or Lastfm rather than through Anime.

Surprised noone here said anything about their childhood.

If anime was gone i wouldn't be watching Gundam Seed every Saturday at 12 as a 4 yr old, I wouldn't be going to the local arcade to be playing that Dinosaur King card game, and I wouldn't be grinding that 4Kids TV in the morning.

That would suck.
Oh yea hmu if anyone wants some Dino King cards I got stacks on stacks of em


Oh yea I forgot about Beyblades... and how much money I dropped on them.

Nothing would change. I was always playing video games and reading way before watching anime. So if anime was never invented, I'd just be doing more of what I had already been doing.

Probably more productive but less creative.

Though this only applies if manga don't exist as well, but they sort of go hand in hand.

I realistically think everyones childhood would be completely changed. People watched pokemon yugioh and beyblade back in the day. Kids were trading pokemon cards in school. No anime would effect a bigger audience than most would think

I started talking to most of my friends because we had anime in common. So I probably won't have meet most of my friends. I would not be into dressing as fictional characters. My top 10 favourite games would also be different.

I would still like goth stuff so I would probably hang out with these folks. And maybe, I would put some real time into animal activism.

And I would still be as degenerate as I am now, as being degenerate was the reason I started watching anime.

..Japan would be a lot less interesting to foreigners, and it would maybe affect their tourism.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

My childhood would be drastically different

I mean Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Digimon, and near the tail end of it Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, and Bleach

Without anime, it would've been entirely American Cartoons, WWF, and Sports

Now I'm thinking what other events would you need to change to just arrive on that; too inefficient which is probably easier to grasp. I suggest just leave how the timeline how it is moving.

I would still be a disgusting loser who hangs out with people I'd call my friends. Because I got into anime, I ditched those filthy people and I now instead engage in healthy, thought-provoking anime watching sessions to better myself as a person.

I would own drastically more video games considering I got a ton of merchandise related to anime when I was younger. Swap all that out with the remaining hobby and I would basically have a lifetimes supply of entertainment but only for1 hobby.
