I've seen many people post about how "____ made me fall asleep" so seriously, have you ever really fell asleep while watching an anime, and which one of course?

I remember falling asleep while watching an episode of K-On! a few months back. I was laying in bed and it was late so that didn't really help, but the episode I was watching just eventually made me give in and pass out. I never bothered to remember or finish what I missed while sleeping though.

Fell asleep watching Full Metal Panic and Trigun. It was just too boring.

Almost fell asleep watching Cowboy Bebop as well, but I caught myself before falling asleep.

Several times during Kimi to Boku. That show was dull as hell.

I also occasionally use Mushishi as a sleeping aid, as it is extremely calming.

We are meaning the actual sleeping part here right?

In that case, Vampire Knight, the story was boring in the second season and frankly 5 am was supposed to be my nap time, quite awkward waking up in a chair I must say.

Not unless I purposely played anime while I was trying to fall asleep. I used to do that a lot when I was younger.

even tho i really enjoyed eden of the east i literally fell asleep because i stayed up until 5 in the morning watching it
my mom then proceeded to beat the shit out of me

what actually bored me to death was probably yuru yuri
none of the jokes were funny
and there is nothing worse than a bad comedy

Steins;Gate and the first KnK movie.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Yeah a lot but it's not the anime's fault, it's coz I watch until it's very late and I'm so comfy in my bed I end up nodding off

Many times. Not because I get bored (haven't seen an anime that bores me like that), but because it's late and I'm tired.

Not literally fallen asleep, as I could never sleep in this ungodly uncomfortable chair, but K-On made me tired enough that I went to lie down and zonked out at 10pm. My nocturnal cycle suffered badly that day.

Not yet - if I'm about to fall asleep, I'll just pause and pick up later.

One day you will come to appreciate the greatness that is the yuri's.

The only thing that has made me come close to falling asleep not voluntarily is endless 8, i managed to stay awake but Goddamn i remember being close.

I never fell asleep when I watched an anime...

I did almost fall asleep because I was really sleepy when I was watching Nurarihyon no Mago. I still love it, though.

Yes, it happens sometimes, especially when i'm tired and/or the anime is boring(in my opinion).

Anime example: Shakugan no shana series, Lucky star, K on, haruhi series

I often put anime on to rewatch while falling asleep, so yes. Many many times. The only one I can think of before I had finished the anime is detective conan.

Only few times because I was tired. First time was while watching Dragon Ball, Son Goku vs Piccolo. Since the player was on repeat, I didn't even notice that I fell asleep. And then I had that "feel" that I already saw that scene. The other time was while watching a Ghibli Movie. Again, I was tired.

Watching White Album is like a cure for insonia...5 minutes into the episode and you are bored as hell. 10 minutes into it and you start falling asleep

Happened me 2 times only with that anime, the rest of the time I would just close the episode and get back to it later.

That happens all the time, even if the anime I'm watching at the moment is decent. I just tend to watch much anime at a really late hour.

Once, when I was watching Fullmetal Alchemist on my TV at night, I started feeling exhausted, so I paused and decided to take a nap. My nap lasted til 12 PM.

I have, never through boredom, but from just being too tired.

A-Channel was a show I would always watch very late because I could fall asleep straight after, sometimes I fell asleep earlier than that...

Ah, Acchi Kochi, I got tremendously tired watching some of the episodes. Only fell asleep once though.
