Somewhere in the world, they're starving unemployed people wishing to work to fed themselves. Once they have the work, they'll make full use of it and waste no time. That is - to achieve the absolute goal: MONEY

Somewhere in the afterlife (if there is), there are dead people wishing to be reincarnated because they regretted they used their life for granted. They wished if they're given the next chance, they won't waste it like they did. They will not be doing the decisions they would regret.

And here we are, spending countless hours, watching anime. Blinded by the virtual entertainment, not even having a glance towards the death that waits for no one. Yeah, you could die anytime, even when watching anime.

So, how much time are you gonna waste before you're awaken to the reality?

Money is temporary. Anime is forever.

Clearly if you live a life of anime you end up in the anime version of the after life. It's like nirvana once you spend countless hours and watch every translated series you become enlightened and become one with anime.

Well, don't you sound like a joyous person to be around. I'll give you the same answer I give others: "We're here for a good time, not a long time".

As much as I want to joke around, I would say

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.

Or maybe

Time you used for enjoyment, is not time wasted.

I have fun and it gives me flavor in life.

Erm... no. It's what money can buy that's the ultimate goal. People only want money because people accept that in exchange for anything they want.

How is entertaining yourself detrimental to anything? No one needs a mindless robot that works all the time, in fact those kinds of people will likely lose their jobs to automation. Appreciate something in life.
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.

To make it easier and clearer, i used the word money so everyone knows it well. Why the heck should i list every single item people want to buy?

Entertaining yourself isn't dentrimental, that's not the case as long as it's not too much

Are you just ignoring the facts there are people who actually spend countless hours on anime and the thing I've described earlier. If it's not you, then all right. Just because you think that way doesn't mean other people thought the same too.

Making a counterpoint isn't ignoring. Your original post sounded assuming of the whole audience rather than discussing an extreme.

But why do you care about what other people do? XD It's not like you can control them or stop them....just say "f*ck it". People will continue to do what they please.

Of course I can't do anything. Have you even read the title? If they choose to not quit watching, it ain't even my problem. I'm no more than just discussing about it.

The best way to live your life is by doing things what you want to do, not what others expect of you.

Just because the "standard" for a "good" life is being rich and having a family dosent mean that's what everyone wants. I actually feel sad for people who will never get to experience some of the amazing stories created by people.

"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

Everyone needs entertainment in their lives. Without some kind of media to please yourself you're going to suffer emotionally. A man cannot survive on bread alone. Not only is it possible to life a regular and productive life while also making time for anime, if you're a weeb then it's necessary to put some time aside for anime in addition to working and sleeping otherwise you wouldn't enjoy much of anything and may as well kill yourself.

Well, it's FUN to discuss our favorite characters, favorite genres, hated genres, hated characters etc mostly because we might find people with the same opinions. Or opposite and that makes it fun to argue with them. And it is fun to fondly look back on our memories of the best and worst anime moments.

The Identify this Character/Anime is an incredibly helpful thread for others searching for a title.


............but I don't see anything to gain from a topic like yours, no offense. :/

I would say a lot.
But I won't call it waste though. I am only happy at being alive when I'm doing things outside of my responsibility and watching anime is one of them. I think those time are well-spent.

In my life I have a full time job, a girlfriend, and my parents. Any time not spent with them or working I'm watching some animu and that won't change! Everyone's gotta have a hobby right? I feel kinda bad for my gf because she's bored a lot of the time and she dosnt really have a hobby she's passionate about like me.

I think everyone's definition of a full life is very different. Some people value money while some people value free-time. Some people value both equally.

Finding balance in life is important, but just simply watching anime isn't a waste of time. I find it to be a fulfilling hobby, and I don't regret spending a lot of time on it (unless I'm using it to procrastinate doing homework). I also want to make a lot of money, but it's primarily in order to support my hobby. I require a large house with a gigantic game room with a huge collection of games, anime, manga, and anime figures and merchandise. I mean, there are other things I want (an in-house art studio being one of them), but my hobby is more expensive than the rest. I'm fine with saving for a long period of time to get this; I'm pretty good at budgeting.

Of course, I also find graphic design (my college major) to be fulfilling, and I need both that AND my expensive hobby to feel fulfilled. One without the other would leave me feeling unhappy.

Basically...well, people find their own fulfillment. Some people find it purely through anime, and that's okay. There are all different walks of life, and none of them are "correct" (although it could be argued that there are "incorrect" walks of life...like being a serial killer or something).

Working for money bores me to tears. Only reading manga gets me through it.

On the other hand, watching anime makes me happy. Yeah, I think I'll stick to that.
