Default Anime or Gaming - You must choose! - 10-07-2009, 05:39 PM

Avoid the "both" option, but feel free to say why you'll always practice both hobbies even if your time is restricted and you have very little free time, say, if you get a job, a demanding partner, kids, ect.

I've been thinking of which hobby I'd continue to practice as my free time has been shrinking over the past years and I still wasn't sure on an answer until recently. I definitely would choose gaming now. I'd rather re-watch a good anime compared to watch a shitty one I haven't seen, but I'd rather play a good game than re-watch a good anime. Plenty of games have the same outcome during a replay (if we're not talking about fast and fun party games), . There are many different paths to explore until one gets the perfect clear data on their memory unit. Compare that with anime; same path and ending aslong as you pay attention (people do miss some messages, but has it ever been completely changed? If so it is their own fault).

I can go on and on and say how I actually like all genres of gaming and even if I pick the best of each genre I'd be entertained, but with anime I only like drama (and one comedy) and there isn't much diversity if you watch all the supposed good dramas. I'd need to start watching bad ones, which I'd rather re-watch and then I'd rather re-play something instead.

I've never felt a sense of accomplishment after watching an anime. I'd figure only people who struggled through a horrible anime would get that feeling. I do however like learning combo strings or getting faster clear times and it feels rewarding.

I pick gaming - it is just more engaging for the time required to be invested, how about you? I'd go with a "both" answer for manga and gaming because I wouldn't be playing games on the go, I'd be reading short manga chapters, then do something more engaging whenever I arrived at my house.

I choose gaming too, cause you have games like final fantasy offer u a story which u can find in the best of animes and yet your part of that story and ye uber cool, also can be more social while doing gaming by meetin others online whilst blowing them to peices. but gaming is more time consuming so durin term time (most of yr) i watch anime XD but gaming ftw


As one's pie will always remain as pi, his pi came to be my own pie hence forth our pi is their pie which belongs to me the king of all pi's pie.

its hard to choose, but i have to say games, cause games are fun to play and its something u control and there are good stories in it like the Tales series, Final fantasy series, Need for speed series(my most favorite racing game series), persona 3&4(the best Rpg i've ever played, and many other kinds of games, i personally prefer games myself!^^

If I'd get an awesome internet connection for not choosing gaming, then I'd say anime.

I choose Anime and it'll be the second time, as the first time i had to choose between anime and Raganrok online(I played RO about 3 years).This decision was made because RO was starting to be boring. As for now it's because i don't know ROSE online very well and have very few friends to play with.For me Anime is more entertaining then games that i have.

If you happen to find mistakes please tell me.

i am in this dilemma myself but i try to find time for both gaming and anime but it seems gaming is much more time consuming, so i only get the very few must play games for me and spent the rest time on anime,

however there are times when gaming would come first as i am rarely let down by a game i decide to get and very few anime really draw my attention and i become addicted to them. they should start making more games into anime, not just the tales series or visual novels
