It's impossible for me to turn back now , it's like a drugs to me anime then manga now light novels are becoming a part of it and in future I think visual Novel will also become a part. It's a great escapism from reality ( maybe ?) Lol .I don't care what people will say I won't stop watching it and its entertaining as hell most of the times .

I dunno... Don't really care... One day I might just stop... Or maybe I won't... I know a 60yr old who still watches anime... Who knows... I'll enjoy it while it lasts

Absolutely not. I'm in this for life now. If anime turns out to dissolve into 100% moe and lolis, I'll just watch classics and my favourites on a loop forever.

I will continue to watch anime as long as I'm alive, at least it's not like I have any plans to stop now.

I also think age doesn't matter.
For my generation(people born between 90-2000) it be pretty normal to watch anime even at a late age.

I already had breaks or periods of time during which I watched less animes, but I don't think I'll actually stop one day. I'll probably be a grandma and still watch them.

I won't stop, but I won't watch many anime, I'll just pick something interesting which I will watch, same for manga, novels, live actions, movies and games.

I never understand people who set some kind of limits like 'I'm going to stop when I'm 30'. Why, what if you still like it and want to watch more when you're 30, or you get bored of it when you're 25? Lol.

I don't think I'll ever stop, I probably will watch less and less eventually but I think I'll always come back every now and then.

I started pretty much when I was 20 and in two years I'll be thirty and realistically speaking the only way I'll stop is if I kill myself before then or die otherwise. I see no other reason to abandon my favorite hobby.
I probably regret this post by now.

I don't believe I'll ever stop, but I have been slowing down on watching so many series, more so in favor of what interests me the most.

Also started my DVD/BD collection this year, so primetime for re-watching some favorites!

No, i cant see myself ever stopping. Unless Moeblobs and idol animes takes over completely. Maybe not even then as i could just stop watching new shows, there are more than enough animes already out.
But for americans... you probably have about 1-2 years MAX left! With net neautrality gon i dont expect anyone to include anime sites in thei networksdeals. So american fans have 1 option, move to europe or stop warching! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

i wouldnt dismiss the possibility as animes that i actually enjoy is running out
i rarely get super hyped or excited about anime series anymore, ive seen all the plot twists, all the crazy shit and all the weird shit that nothing really surprises me anything
having said that, there have been a few good animes this year. hopefully that can continue cause i do enjoy a good series

I used to think like that when I was younger but most likely people who watch anime never stop they might take a break for a couple of months but then they crawl back to anime.

That's understandable but that sort of mindset will rob you of gems like Houseki no Kuni.

As for me, I will probably not entirely stop watching anime altogether. I think I will be around watching anime for quite a while but I can see myself getting more and more picky these days when it comes to anime. Probably it comes from my long experience with anime so usually I know what I am gonna enjoy and what I won't.

Also, there's Kyoto Animation. If the studio remains, it will guarantee that I will need to be around as well.

Probably not, but might take a break watching in the near future but won't stop watching. It's already a hobby of mine since childhood, so I don't think I will stop watching Anime..

I thought i would never stop but my anime days are no longer the sames because of adulthood lol but i do read more manga than watch anime nowadays. It's really sad, i do feel nostalgic every once in a while wishing i could go back to those days.

You really never stop completely unless something changes you i guess, i don't think i'll ever completely abandon it.

no, i dont think so... im 21 now and ive already decided that i want to be a writer/artist. i think anime will help me out with that. i also love anime so much and ive been watching it for most of my life... maybe since i was 6 or 7. and i have taken NO BREAKS... ive taken breaks from certain anime (like one piece lol) but i watch another anime instead while i put that on hold... i also keep track of everything on this site and i love doing that and seeing my progress.... hopefully one day i will be able to create my own anime. that would be awesome

I'd stop watching anime for only 3 reasons. They transition to all CG, they cancel Rabu Raibu, or Rabu Raibu announces a new season where one of the members is a trap. I don't play with that. I'd rather go outside.

I probably got disconnected from other mediums of entertainment enough that anime will probably be my main source of entertainment for the rest of my life.

Sure I'll watch other mediums, but that's just mostly with friends when they invite me to the movie theatre or if someone buys a copy of it. I've never once looked up Western movies or TV series online to watch for instance.
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.

Mmh good question, I don't know, as of now i don't think so, i watch less then when i started, but even with big breaks i eventually come back. I just like anime to much as a medium to 100% quit it.

I got a feeling I'll slow down considerably when I'm an adult, either because I've lost interest after so long or I'm gonna get busy. For now, I won't ever stop because I'm enjoying anime thus far.

If there comes a point where I feel that I can gain nothing more from watching anime, then I will stop. Right now I don't really see a future in which this happens, but who knows? Life happens and maybe watching anime won't be for me further down the line.

That being said, I don't watch nearly as much as I used to, or want to even, but I still watch anime semi-regularly and want to continue doing so.

If I ask you, "Would you stop breathing?" how would you respond?
I'd probably respond in the same manner you do when it comes to anime.

If I were an idealist I would say that I will never stop watching it. But as a realist, I admit that I will probably reach a point where anime no longer fills its intended purpose for me.
