Leoruthion said: The amount of time you spend on anime directly correlates with the amount of value you attach to it. Not really. I value it highly as a diverse form of entertainment, and yet I really don't get around to watching too much of it. The ones I enjoy I savor and watch over time. Do I intend to spend my entire life watching anime? If this question implies I actively watch it for the rest of my life, hell no. There will be times in my life where I watch a lot, and times where I watch a little, and times where I completely ignore it. But I can see myself a 60 year old man going "Huh, I should check out a few notable animes from the past few years and catch up," or "I should rewatch Kaiji for some nostalgia." I can see myself as a lifelong fan, but not a lifelong active watcher. |
| Yeah, why not? What do you think about humans watching TV all their life? See, exactly! x3 |
| Yes,because I love anime and it's fun to watch. |

| Thread title somehow sound like condemnation. Bam! You are condemned to watch anime for the rest of you life!  Noooooooooo |
 I sometime have funky grammar, sorry about that. If you can correct some of my post, you would be an angel. |
| dont think so there are not much good anime out there |
 |
| Always. Forever. |
| Maybe, maybe one day I'll just stop watching anime because of hatred or something. |
 |
| I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life watching anime lol. But idk, as long as there's still good stuff to watch I guess I'll still watch them. |
| I use to say that I'd only be watching anime thru my college years(which i spent a shit amount of time doing so)....but now after few years out of college I still make time to do so mostly on weekends when I have the free time and considering I don't watch tv, in those times I'd be watching anime. So to your question, I'd say yes, I'll most likely spend the rest of my life watching anime. As long as it entertains me, I don't see why not. There are old people out there collecting stamps and shit since they were kids, don't see how this is any different. |
| I mostly am watching ongoing series since i've already seen a lot of completed anime. Spending maybe 3 or 4 hours a week watching a episode of ongoing series isn't that time consuming. You just have to make time for it :P |
| The thread title sounds far more depressing and pathetic than what it actually implies. Watching anime "for the rest of your life" could very well mean watching it every few days, just on weekends, only a few times a month, or even less. I'm sure this has already been covered, but might as well reiterate. Leoruthion said: The amount of time you spend on anime directly correlates with the amount of value you attach to it. This is extremely untrue. That's like saying people who work full time value their children less than unemployed people. Everyone has different schedules (availability), a different amount of other hobbies, and a different approach to each hobby. I'm sure many people exist who only enjoy anime in small moderation, while placing a high value on the time they do spend watching it. I'm equally sure there are people who watch anime all day just because, meh, it's what they do. It's simply habitual, they may not actually appreciate it as much as you'd think. |

| Yes of course the future will only bring more and more anime, and I still have alot more to watch 21days/ 18 years? so you get the picture And obviously I wont be watching anime 24/7 but you get the picture |
 |
| Personally, the older I get the more my tastes change towards anime (or has anime just gone to shit? who knows..) So the amount of anime that I can tolerate has decreased by so much since when I first started. I think eventually I will definetley stop at some point; but my faith in the industry gets restored every so often after a few years. |

| Probably not. Can't really say for sure. Probably I'll impregnate a woman in the future and have kids,or get addicted to drugs,get involved in an accident and become paralyzed,etc.etc. Probably in a few years or so I'll have other responsibilities to commit to and won't have the time/interest to watch anime. Probably. |

| Meh, I choose maybe. Sure I do enjoy watching anime, but I just don't really see myself watching it in 20 years. |
 |
| anime is in my blood now I will not spend a lot of my time watching it but I will make specific time or day to watch it seems normal to me i like to watch football ( soccer) so I will try to be free when match will begin it seem on anime situation for me I will not quit watching it |
| I can't picture myself 3 years from now much less the "rest of my life". For the time being, anime continues to interest and entertain me. Though it's highly likely that somewhere along the next 60 years of my life, I'll grow tired of the medium. |
 |
| I barely watch anything anymore. |
| I do want to spend my time watching anime, if there are animes to watch. |
 |
| "Do you want to spend the rest of your life watching anime?" Kinda silly question actually. Might as well ask me if I want to spend the rest of my life making models, playing wargames, role games, eating chocolate bars and peanut butter and jam sandwiches, having sex each day and enjoying walks in the sun listening to music. Of course I want to spend the rest of my life watching anime. And I want to live to be at least 80, 90 would be ok too (ask me on my 90th birthday if I want to be 100). Now I would rather not need to pay rent for the rest of my life. |
| While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert. |
| I find it strange how people can say they want to watch it forever when, for many of them, they are only in their teens. Sure I can understand if Lesley says that, but for anyone who's a teenager, it's not as if you know what's going to happen to you, whether your tastes will change or if you'll find something else to do. Life isn't always going to be the same for you as it is now. Sure, I don't see any reason why I would stop in the near future, but saying that I'll always find anime entertaining? I can't tell if that will be true. The real question for me is, will I be able to continue watching the shounen shows (Naruto, OP, Bleach when it returns, Fairy Tail) to when they finally finish? Or maybe, if you feel you shouldn't watch anime forever, you can say "when all those shows finally end, then I'll stop watching all anime for good", then again, that could still be another 10 years.... |
| I will simply say no, I do love real life more. And anime are here just for fun. When I get employed, married and other stuff it will become unnecessary :D |
 |
| Yeah i'll probably watch anime till the end of my days. There will always be good animes in supply. I have faith of that. |
| Not really, but its better than watching the crap that is on TV these days. |

| I've only watched anime for a little under a year now, and i think i will keep watching anime for a long time, but on a way lower lvl, like whenever a new episode on an airing anime has come out. |
O'Hai :D |
| Voted "Yes" but now that I think about it...if it's only anime... :S But if the quality keeps on lowering and I can't find anything I (could) like among older anime... no. |
| Yes, until I get bored. No reason to stop now, so I'll plan on keeping with it. |
| I certainly hope I don't quit because it's a great source of entertainment. I mean I don't watch any shows that have low quality animation or bad storyline but animation is constantly improving with the years and new ideas are popping up. I spend almost all my freetime finding anime and watching it but maybe I'll gradually watch less but new good anime always show up. For example i love the new 2012 shows like campione and sword art online |
 |
| Yes. There's a lot of good stuff coming up (fall season come already!) and a lot of good old anime... and One Piece isn't over yet. I hope they invent immortality soon :) |

| I think I can watch anime forever. There is always something to watch, and good things usually come out every season. I enjoy anime more than the average person as well. It's a big part of my life really. |
| Ya why the hell not. Fiction>>Reality, so why would I settle for less? |

| I'll watch anime until I get a social life I'll watch anime as long as I find something interesting to watch |
AlexSadist-sama said: Not really unless I find really good ones. agreed. probably would end up busy in the future id have less time to surf around finding some or id just watch what ive bought |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| As long as good anime keep coming out, I'll continue watching it, providing I don't have other things to worry about. |
| Will I outgrow anime? No Will I outgrow going to anime forums like MAL that blatantly ask me something that's a given at the moment? Yes |

When I get employed, married and other stuff it will become unnecessary :D So people who watch series and movies have no life? That's how you understood what I said, which is completely wrong. I just said that for me anime simply keep me entertained when I have absolutely nothing else to do. It's not my passion nor my hobby. Right now I am young, I have no real responsibilities so I can watch anime whole day and not care about anything. The thing is I don't love doing that. Ok, episode or two, great, but having nothing to do, I hate that. I am just like Sherlock Holmes. When I don't have a case to work on I take heroin (just sayin' not really xD), in this case anime being my drug. I don't see myself watching anime when I am 30 year old man with wife and maybe kids. Even at the moment anime are getting boring for me, not because they are cartoons or whatever you wanna call it, simply because I have too many things going on, studying, having to go to British embassy to take those language proficiency tests, getting ready for college, making myself ready for trip to Japan (yeah I'll most definitely end up in Japan in a few years)... I hope I explained enough xD |
