| Anime is entertainment for me, I work a lot and I hang out with my friends yet having that nice episode at the end of the day feel good. I don't watch tv and I don't watch live action so I got time for dem cartoons. I am so used to it that I consider anime like smoking, if it puffs it's good but sometimes I find a nice flavour. (Like keijo). |

| Anime is entertainment for me that offers me an experience that is unique to other forms of entertainment especially in the different genres of anime. It also gave me access to a large community of people who talk about it that is also unique to other forms of entertainment. |
 |
| At one point it was escapism for me but now it's become another form of entertainment, it's the only medium that experiments with animation and the potential it has to tell stories that reality fails to do. |
| Yes it is a form of escapism if we can call it like that. |
 |
| To me, Anime is nothing more than entertainment and our slice of life. Sometimes, these slice of life we relate to, gave us different perspectives or outlook in life which can redefine or provide a more meaningful life. |
MayoiYui said: people value anime differently to some, anime is a hobby to some, anime is a passion to some, anime is a part of their life to some, anime is happiness to some, anime is everything For me, anime is both a hobby and a passion, which by default makes it part of my life. Anime generates happiness for me because it is a hobby & passion I enjoy more than most things. Anime is not everything, but it does get close sometimes. There are worse things and much more expensive things I could be spending my time & money on for a hobby/passion, so in that respect it's not a bad deal. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| For me, Anime is a mistake. Yours sincerely. /s That said, it's one of my few cherished means of escapism from real life from time to time. It's not a part of a my life and never will be, as I can live without it. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| Pretty much a form of entertainment and escapism. I like it the way it is, in its own, sometimes weird, way because it provides a form of fun that no other medium can offer. I value it quite a bit but it is not irreplaceable. While, at the same time, I know that replacing it is impossible because it's such a niche, unique thing. |
 |
| hobby and entertainment simply as that |

Since then, I have been constantly watching whatever anime I could find in order to fulfill my empty feelings that I could not find something to do elsewhere beside doing volunteers and exercising with my friends. Whatsoever, anime has became my lifestyle now What is anime to you and how much do you value anime? Anime to me is a hobby, passion, part of my life, happiness and, essentially, everything. Anime for me was my escape on a whim. I was bored and found an AMV of One Piece and I decided to watch all of it within the month at the time, and it became my primary source of entertainment outside of Youtube and I have no idea what else I did at the time. And soon after I found League of Legends and by then Anime was my identity and League became my way of connecting, which I have long quit. And now, Anime has become one of my sources of connecting with other people despite it initially being a source of escapism. It helped me developed a better frame of mind because I went through a drastic change from the time I was essentially obsessed with anime to the time I tried to learn more about anime and spent time thinking more about anime. My best current pasttime is thinking about anime and lazing about, and lowkey working. And there's still hundreds of anime to watch, but making sure I keep some anime for a very rainy day, like the days where I don't feel any enjoyment from watching anime. |
| It's a thing that shouldn't exist An entertainment. |
| For me it's a way to scape from my reality and the best way I have to fight my depression. |
 |
| Anime is one of the best things ever happened to me! After getting into anime, i stopped watching TV shows and live action movies (Except Marvel). This is the only source of entertainment for me right now and probably the best. |
 |
| anime is my mother, daughter, sister and lover |
 |
| - The things that make me smiles other than games and music.. - the place to Forget the reality |
| Now Loading..... |
| A couple of years ago i used anime pretty much to forget everything that have happened for a while and just rest my mind.Well now its just a thing to pass my free time with. |
 |
| Anime is an entertainment and hobby for me, similar to books or music. |
| Anime is life itself, the same as Lain and Yui are love itself OT: Anime is my main entertainment medium after manga. I used to escaping to it but I barely even find something worth-watching nowadays. I am more into manga now. |
 |
| For me, anime is a great way to spend my free time in enjoyment while I'm relaxing. Every anime has its own story that I can learn some sort of lesson from. |
| Anime is a form of entertainment that made me like japan. |
| To me, anime is like smoking or drinking. When I'm stressed or upset, I turn to anime to calm me down or cheer me up. It's also a decent social vehicle to get to know other people. |
 |
| Much like video games, it's a form of escapism. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| I DUNNO ANYMORE JUST GOING THROUGH DA MOTIONS ME THINK$ |
| Something i watch if i am bored and there are nothing good on tv |
| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
| Anime is a shiity addiction I need to quit. |
| Anime is the most entertaining way of wasting time by myself. At least that's the current situation, might change. |
| Just entertainment for me. That's all. |
| anime like the much of the internet is escapism for me |
| Anime is an animation form that originated in Japanland. |
 |
| Mainly just easy entertainment for me. Honestly a 22-minute ep of anime is just quicker and easier to watch than a 1.5--2 hr movie at the end of a long day. and yeah i guess i could watch other tv shows but most western animation is quite bad and after Twin Peaks: The Return i can't think of many live action shows i wanna watch. Also like someone else said itt i'm interested in the how animation can convey stories in ways that live action cannot. So maybe i'm becoming a hobbyist idk! |
| I consider it a journey to a different realm (medium) in order to expand my mind a little bit, though it doesn't always work that way, sometimes I just treat it as another source of entertainment. |
 |
| I have a hard time believing people who say they only consider it an entertainment. For me it's more of a daily routine thing and sometimes escapism |
| At first, anime was part hobby and part escapism. Now it has become an interest, a passion of sorts and an inseparable part of my daily life. |
| primordial part of me started as a hobby, now is something that is not only something that I like, something that is crucial to me |
MayoiYui said: All that. nibibiniberbviebviuebiveto some, anime is a hobby to some, anime is a passion to some, anime is an inseperable part of their life to some, anime is happiness to some, anime is everything |
| Distraction from real life problems and of course enjoyment. |
| As many have said, anime is entertainment to me, but I guess I could say it's also a hobby. Trying to watch different shows, discussing them with people, collecting blu-rays and DVD's, all makes me feel like I'm part of something. |
| Just a lingering thing for me. I got really caught up in it a few years ago, but as time passed I started watching less and less until I got to the point that I don't care about it at all anymore. It is something that was a phase for me, I guess, but nevertheless, it became sort of an obsession, until I stopped and now, I can even see things more clearly and discern good series from bad ones, which are a lot, know what's worth watching, etc., but it's not of much use to me now that I don't watch anything anymore. |

| Anime is a medium and a form of escapism. It is an art form and a platform for expresssing philosophical ideas, creativity, fantasies and emotions through the story, characters, art, and music. Anime is love, anime is life. |
