Be honest, do you think you will still be into anime a decade from now?

I began watching anime around 2011... it has been a decade now and I'm honestly surprised I stuck around for so long. I wonder if I'll do another one.

I’d say probably, maybe not as much as I do now considering I’ll be working and have a family but I’ll still watch it

I don't forsee completely dropping anime for as long as anime is still being made. Life does crazy things though.

Yeah, I grew up watching anime, since 2004 when I was in kindergarten/first grade. It's been ~17 years, I doubt I'll stop any time soon. I probably won't watch as much (like be into seasonals), but entirely stop? Nah.

I think I can go for another decade or two. It is a really enjoyable past time and its something I've been doing since childhood, not gonna drop it so easily.

I think I'll still be into anime. Seasonal anime seem to be interesting to me again. But I think I'll be watching anime even less than I already do; manga/manhwa/webtoons have gained a lot of attraction for me lately.

I only started anime proper a decade ago when i was in my late 20's and I've only gotten into it more over the last decade so I'm pretty sure I'll still like it.

I did pretty much everything I wanted to when I was younger when I had no knowledge of anime (anime/manga were fairly inaccessible in the early 90's here in the UK anyway so I wasn't missing out much), and anime has become a fun hobby for my older age.The only anime i knew of when i was young (ie under 16) was beautiful Ghibli films and dark, hardcore anime films and hentai that my mate's older sister would let us watch, she had some weird tastes, although she did introduce me to Akira and Fist of the North Star.

Hmmm, I'd be almost at my 40s... although are some who still do around that age, it'll be very hard to answer that for me personally

I can see myself maybe watching less anime a decade from now, if I have less time to spare for it, but I don’t think I’ll ever stop watching it completely. I’ve been consistently and actively into it since my early teens in the late 90s, spending my paper route money on anime VHS tapes. It’s not at all difficult for me to imagine those 2+ decades becoming 3 or 4.

I think i will, and i will be doing how i'm doing right now, slow and steady, i don't have the need to watch every anime i prefer to slowly watch things that are actually appealing and entertaining to me.

So with my slow phase and nitpickys i think i have more than a decade to spend watching anime.

I didn't think I'd last long enough to get as many completed as I have so who knows at this point. Depends on the state of anime at the time.

Honestly yeah.

Maybe not as intensively as before but I’m sure I will. No other kind of media has ever pulled me in for more years than anime/manga as much. While other stuff I used be into before, I was into usually for not even for a year anime’s got me for 6 years now so I think I’ll be fine.

Well let me see - I am 37 years old now, I have watched Anime since 97, I think most people would assume I would have given up on Anime 10 years ago but here I am... Can I see myself being 47 and still an anime fan?

ABSOLUTELY

It’s not like anime is really like a phase. Like you can grow out of stuff like my little pony or a certain show you’re focused on. Either because you fall out of love, get to old or it ended/not enough content anymore. But anime is just like shows and movies we have here it’s not really a phase thing obviously we all aren’t gonna watch anime all the time like some of us do. And sometimes we’ll take a break from seasonals and only watch a anime when we really want too. Wether that takes years or months. I don’t think anime can really work as a phase per say it’s not like anyone just stops watching movies/shows forever they just limit/slow down the pace.

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

I've been in it for 22 years now, so what's another 10?

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Not sure, though I will always be reading manga.

Plus, it's still a bit too early for One Piece to end
