It depends on a lot!
I've been without both anime and manga for the last half year or so, cause I havent really felt like watching or reading it. But before that part in my life (or whatever ya know ^_^), I had to watch anime every day. I even ditched school just to watch it all day long D:
But now, I guess I can do a week or so without watching anything.

-sigh- Darn, it's holidays too T_T

For me it would be 2 or 3 days at most.
At home, I can"t even eat without watching an anime, and I feel like something is missing when I don't watch any for a whole day :>

I think if I had other things to occupy my time (books, games, TV, etc.) I could go a few months without anime. Not that I've ever tried. Actually, it'd be pretty hard for me to go without anime for more than a week. My boyfriend and I both attend and are heavily involved in the planning and organization of our local university anime club so it'd be really weird if I suddenly stopped going.

i wouldn't be able to go more than a few days with out watching or reading something anime related. i've been surrounded by anime for a long time so to stop or go with out it for a while will be very hard for me.

as long as i have something to do to keep me busy, i can go on without anime..but if the series i started to watch and love it a lot, even if i'm busy, my mind will keep thinking and thinking and can't wait to go home to continue the series~~

There are lots of things out there to do, just that I decide to use some of that time to watch anime. If anime were to disappear from the face of the earth it's not like it's end of the world for me....
Realistically speaking though probably a semester or two depending on what is occupying me at the particular time.

Well I'm sure i can manage without anime, but at some point I'm gonna wanna watch somthing interesting, and anime is usually very interesting no matter what it is. I havent tried to purposly deprive myself of watching anime but, i've noticed that my daily routine usually involves me watching atleast alittle bit if not an episode or two.
Right now i think it's been like a couple days since i've seen any episodes so...I'd probly be able to go months if not years, but that's pushin it.

If I stopped watching anime, I would go into a deep and depressing boring state, so there's no way I could give up on anime =P
But I think I could not watch it for a couple of days.

Bah. I watch anime daily. I can go through the whole day without watching anime, but I have to watch anime while I'm falling asleep. It's a habit I've had since I don't even know when. If I don't I'll stay up until I knock out from exhaustion. You could say it's pretty much my lullaby.

If I'd had to guess though... I'd say I could take a few months without anime.

Probably a few months. I don't need to watch anime all the time.
I usually only watch like 2 or 3 episodes a week if it's on TV or fansubs anyway.

I can easily go months without watching anime, and would probably be just fine if I never watched any from this day on, but what's the point in that? I watch things when I want to - sometimes I'll be preoccupied with other pastimes - drinking with friends, playing video games, work, watching movies, reading, whatever - and I won't watch anime for months on end, but I always come back to it eventually because it's something I enjoy. So I wouldn't make a conscious choice to give it up for any longer than I had a good reason to.

Easily months on end. Anime isn't such a big part of my life that I'll go crazy without watching it everyday (unlike music). If I really wanted to I could go cold turkey right now on it, but as Krelian said whats the fun in that?

True, I watch anime everyday right now but thats because I have a lot of free time on my hands (currently unemployed and my class work takes roughly 1-2 hours to do so I've got like 8-9 hours of free time right now and gaming just isn't fun right now so I use anime to fill up that free time). Plus I do get preoccupied from time to time doing other past times so it's quite easy to go without watching anime (heck, if I had a good book to read right now I'd stop watching anime till I finished reading the book). I'll eventually end back up on my 1-2 days a week watching schedule again once I get a job (and really I wish it was right now, would rather be working then watching anime all the time).

I don't think I could go more than a week, without watching the latest episodes, of the current anime i'm watching...It would drive me nuts thinking about what's going to happen next.

Just over a week. That is if I have some good games to play.

But, I'd rather not go without it for a few days. xD

Don't think I could go no longer then maybe a week or 2 as well. Now as for months without Anime well have to say the withdrawal symptoms would be taking there effect then at the point.

Maybe a week or two. Watching anime is one of my guilty pleasures. I find the stories to generally be better than a lot of television and a great way to get out of my head for a while.
The further one goes, the less one knows.

Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Slowly, completely, gently beyond comparison, cruelly to the point of numbness, I'll violate your life. That's right. The instant I rip off your limbs, tear open your rib and pull out your intestines, biting into your neck as you scream in agony, chewing through your eyes as I ignore your pleas for mercy and spreading your brains on the ground like butter!

I could easily go without it if I had anything else to do. I mean, I need something fun in life. But I don't care too much about anime. I'd rather give up anime than video games.

Bring your laptop, burn some ARIA episodes on DVD, and bring it over. Don't forget a transformer, though - they have a different electricity system in Europe.


Personally, if it's anime-related things, probably only a week or two. If it's anime itself as in the act of watching it, I could technically go on forever now until Shana season 3.

Actually, I'm anime deprived at the moment - running Saimoe while in college is really taking a toll on free time...
