*Prefer (thanks for char limit) I think I prefer anime over tv shows cause it's always korean drama when someone opened the tv. My favorite tv personality anthony bourdain is already dead too.

Most of the time I do prefer anime over tv series.

But I love both anime and movies. They bring the same joy into my being. There is no better than the other for those two for me.

In most cases, definitely yes, but I also like some live action stuff, especially comedy.

Yes, I too prefer anime over tv series. It mostly has to do with the distinct, pleasing art-style and enjoying the hand-drawn characters being brought to life.

I am not much of a movie buff nor tv show buff, although I do check them out only when recommended by others.

Tv shows are way superior and cleverly written. Great Foreshadowing and use of proper Symbolism without falling into 'Pretentious' category. Breaking Bad alone shits on all anime & manga medium....... well ex-including Death Note maybe.

Anime is TV shows and movies. (And OVAs etc.)

Comparing it with Western cinema and television, then, sort of. I certainly watch more anime nowadays than I watch everything else combined, but other stuff is still an important part of the landscape, and without it, I would not have a balanced televisual diet. There's nothing outside of anime which provides what (at least the vast majority of) the 8-10s on my list provide, but there's nothing in anime which provides what the likes of Doctor Who, Yes Minister, Brass Eye, the Attenborough 'Life' series, Monty Python, QI etc. provide.

TWD, LOTR, Hobbit, Avatar, HP and some others will never leave my top 10 list but yeah, when it comes to movies/series I'd rather prefer to watch anime instead of badly animated scenes in some tv-shows or films.

It's better this way.

I generally prefer anime. I don't watch any live action series and I rarely watch TV (and if I do, it's usually Cartoon Network or some sports channel), but I do love to watch some movies sometimes on DVD, in cinema etc. Mostly some classics or things you don't really see in anime, like war dramas and westerns.

98% of time I prefer anime. But that 2% has movies like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, Soylent Green, Silence of the Lambs. And some TV shows as well. You get my point. But anime is my number one form of entertainment after video games and reading books.

Why watch something on TV when you have the internet to watch whenever you want without ads.
I only watch TV n movies when I'm at someone's house n for some reason sometimes I just join to watch something I might be interested in cuz it's more fun to watch movies together. If I were home alone I'd ditch the TV.

TV Shows & Movies, definitely. As I said on a similar topic, I only ever started watching an abundance of Anime because there was never enough of my kind of TV shows keep me occupied. And when I say "my type", I usually mean stuff in the Fantasy genre, or anything supernatural-esque. Some Sci-Fi as well, but yeah. Some of my favorite (currently airing) TV shows would be Game of Thrones, Vikings, Supernatural, Into The Badlands, The 100, and all of the Netflix Marvel shows, etc.

I don't think many people actually watch "TV" these days. Even on my actual TV itself, I use it to watch Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, Crunchyroll, and then pirate everything else with Firestick. All of this is without ads.

Not particularly, no.

It's just that I know my way around the anime scene a lot better than I know my way around live-action TV shows and stuff. Like, I don't have a big PTW list for live-action TV like I do for anime. The PTW for live-action TV basically consists of Veronica Mars which I've wanted to watch for years but never gotten around to, and that's it.

I also don't watch movies with any regularity. Like, I occasionally do, but even anime movies are rare for me to watch. Though over my lifetime I've watched more western movies.

Yup, that sounds more like it. If only ppl I knew were more like u when they invite me over. ¬.¬ Even so they'd probably pick movies like Twilight.. God no xD this is why I prefer to watch animu n movies with selected few or alone.

Anime is pretty much a daily aspect of life as it has basically everything a human needs in existence. The genres are more in depth & have fan-based around them. However, there are movies or some tv shows that is worth watching, but most of the time, i watch anime more.

I watch a movie every night before going to bed. In case of TV Shows, It depends. I've watched few TV Shows and I liked them. I'll watch one any time if it interests me just like Animes.
