| lol @ those who skip work/school for anime like seriously, if your going to skip, then do something that's at least worth mentioning to make up for skipping "I skipped school to flirt with girls/ or I skipped work because I was too tired from the sex last night" not "I skipped school/work so I could finish a full season of Naruto"(or whatever you were watching) Lame is Lame even the MMO'ers at least did something(like "I fragged 2 shitty gnomes who got lost at Kalimdor") |
| I skipped school back in the days to watch Death Note xD |

jesse_activist said: UKing said: jesse_activist said: Many times. Not work. I never skipped work, but school, quite a bit. I had a lot of trouble sleeping in high school and I still do really, but it made it rough to wake up in time to go to school. I'd often fall asleep at 5am and have to be awake at 7am. It just didn't fit together very good. So often times I'd just sleep in, skip school, wake up and watch anime, maybe go to school the next day depending on the week. If we had a lot of homework, I'd go. If we didn't, I just stayed home. I missed A LOT of school in high school. Not just to sit home and watch anime (that didn't help any), but because I didn't really need to go. I still got A's in B's in all my classes so actually attending wasn't necessary. I hate this kind of logic. I mean what the hell makes you think you shouldn't go, just because you're naturally intelligent? I've never stayed off school, college, or work to do something like watch TV, or for any other reason apart from being ill or on holiday. I mean, of course school gets some people down, maybe they hate it and it affects them in a serious way psychologically, then maybe i will accept their excuse for not attending. But come off it... 'i still got A's and B's so it doesn't matter' You should of got all A's... I could and should have tried harder in school. I'll be the first to admit that. I just never liked going to school. Especially my school. I live in a small town where most of the teachers really don't care, and the few that do, hardly make a dent. Most of the teachers really didn't teach. Their method was, "here's the worksheet and book, worksheet is due tomorrow." or "Read this book, write a report, and turn it in tomorrow." So I didn't learn much while being in school. I took it upon myself to learn the subjects I needed to at home through studying. Granted, a lot of the time I did just glide by because of natural intelligence. However, some classes (Though not at school) I studied quite hard for (Anatomy & Physiology) to name a couple. So it's not as if I wasn't learning anything, I was just going about it in a unconventional way. However it's not something I intend to do upon entering University. I actually plan to attend all courses and get the best education possible. I'm much more confident that a University is going to have professors who can actually do a good job of teaching. Not "here's a work sheet, here's a book, I'm going to go sit down and read the paper now." Then i'm glad to hear that. I wasn't having a go or anything, it just came across like you didn't go simply because you thought you knew everything anyway. Uni is very different to school and the teachers should definitely know what theyre doing. Alot of it will be individual learning though, but that seems like itll suite you. But yeah, anyone skipping to watch TV in my opinion is extremely sad. |
HelloHelloHello |
| I understand. I should have better stated my situation. Last thing I want to do is come off as a smug know-it-all. I'm far from it and I really do enjoy learning. I just couldn't stand my learning environment so staying home and learning individually through text books and online documents, served me much better. It's not to say that doing so didn't have negative consequences. I often dealt with threats of truancy and expulsion which go into your transcripts. So unfortunately, in attempting to do better for myself, I caused some damage I wish I could have known about before hand. Assuming I can get into University, I plan to change that all around though and become a model student if possible. |
| Never did, and won't do it. =/ |
 |
| I'm 15, so unless I pretended to be sick, my parents would take me to school. And I don't lie to my parents. |
| No. I'd be murdered if I skipped school. I don't go to parties and stuff so I can finish an anime, but never school :) |
| What ? I passed on school it was there i was home ... to wake up 7 at the morning are u crazy when i wake up at 10 and decide to go :D or watch something or play :) |
 Current Game : Allods Online . |
| back when i was in highschool i skipped all the time... when i got to senior year i skipped school like once a week... especially second semester when i needed only 2 credits to graduate... but not specifically to watch anime... but im sure that i did watch some anime though but yeah... |
Its better to have burned out than to have never really shined... |
| Hmm..I never skipped a day for anime but for games I skipped the following day a lot of times (only in WoW or when I was on a few teams for Rainbowsix and Ghost Recon) only reason was cause it was either I slept in class or sleep on my bed..idk about you but I like beds more. |
 |
| Nope. I've watched anime in class though. But it was kinda awkward since I had to look over my shoulder to make sure a teacher wasn't wondering why I was watching a cartoon with people inside a stip club... Oh Black Lagoon x3 |
 |
| Why skip school for watching when you can watch it in school ^^ |
| No not yet. But I did skipped once just to attend in a game tournament. |
| I never skipped school... For any reason (In high school. all the times I weren't at school I went out as part of studying). I'm a geek, I know. |
 |
| I skipped school for other reasons but never to watch anime. |
| Did it just Yesterday XD. |

Syb3rStrife said: Hisio said: I skipped school for other reasons but never to watch anime. This, even though I can't skip nearly a much as I used to now that I'm in College. Same here. High school was a joke. I take college much more seriously, since I'm taking classes I want to take, and that it means something to me. |
| Badge: |
| Nope. I value my job too much. But I did completely forget about a school trip back in high school. It was a monday after I attended a convention all weekend. :/ |
| Nope, I've never skipped school or work for anime. I have however skipped sleeping and mealtimes to finish series that I really enjoy. |

| School is for learning so your not a dumbass your whole life. Work is to make money so you can eat and pay bills. You should be responsible enough to not do such things while your at work. |
| OH yes. But my schedule is not changed around just because I skipped it, so I learned not to sleep. :3 |

| never have and never will. the only time i skip class is if i'm sick. |
cyanide6688 said: never have and never will. the only time i skip class is if i'm sick. This, though I get sick quite often and then I watch anime anyway. |
| No, I've never skipped work or school for an anime series. I don't see why the hell I would. I have more self-control than that. Now, anime conventions I'd probably miss school for, but I think the bulk of them (that I care to go to) are in the summer, so... meh. |
 |
| Yes, was few times, but mostly I miss my sleep time on week-end or vacation =) Cannot stop watching =) Last time that was with Spice and Wolf, I was like "I gotta check for 20 secs what is this anime about" and I wasn't able to stop =) amazing series ^_^ |

| Anime - gets you nowhere in life(maybe if your damn lucky you could become something in the anime industry because of watching anime but i dont think so.) school - will get you somewhere in life and also is kinda an insurance you can keep buying/downloading anime/manga in the future. i think you know my answer. |
| No I am not that obsessed with anime that I need to skip school and work to watch it...I would like to keep my job and get my moneys worth out of college since I am paying for it myself. |
         |
| I skip school for smaller reasons and i still got the best grades XD |
 |
| ... pppft, come on, skipping school just to watch anime/movies/read manga is lame~ tho watching/reading stuff AT school is a different story xD |
| I usually skip school a lot but never to finish a series , if i want to finish a series i usually stay up at night and sleep at school , my teachers never notice ;P . |
| I voted yes, but now that I think about it, I don't actually remember any specific instance where I skipped school just to watch anime. I've skipped school on the release of WoW TBC back in the day when I was a WoW addict though. I think it's usually more of the pattern that I don't feel like going to class that day, skip, and then just end up watching anime or lazing around. Kind of surprised that it seems to be a big deal to skip class for some people here. XD |

| Never skipped classes, never will. I'm an OCD freak, not out of responsibility. |
     |
| It would depend on how much you hate that class/work and how much you really want to finish the series. So I'm going to go with yes. XD |
| Anyone who skips school or work to watch anime is a loser. Watching all that anime isn't going to get you a job. |
OminousFlare said: kunekune said: True, but I can say the same for going to school as well.Anyone who skips school or work to watch anime is a loser. Watching all that anime isn't going to get you a job. I'm not going to bother with bullshit statistics, but you're more likely to get a job after going to school than skipping to watch a show. You can't write "I watched Death Note in one sitting!" on a resume and expect the employer to be impressed. |
