i was wondering why us anime people are so addicted to anime i cant go even a week without watching one episode or reading one chapter of anime and manga. its like an escape or an alternate life, i've messed up myself for life now ive got my self into this lifestyle.

if i were to become a non anime watching person like most of my friends and the people i know, i don't know or can't really imagine my life, there'd some empty hole or void in my heart without this magic stuff. ive come to believe that people who dont watch anime and live the non anime life suck, i'll still get along with these people but i despise them at heart cause they dont see the world like the anime fan does, they're just boring and empty fools.

on a final note id like to say anime has screwed me and many other people for life. IM ADDICTED!!!!

Its all about escapism,
Anime's a great way to forget about all your worries.

I feel similar to you Ghost,
And I believe Samoht has a point

I got told this once
The world of cartoons and such, hold not only a sense of magic that is rare in the real world, but also within them, one is able to see truths/values we are taught, but learn are false, like the Good guys always win, and heros are real.
And for some it is a way to live the life or part they may have missed, but i think that another is just some people like them because, stories can be more imaginative, and show a new world to another.

Yeah my shrink from when little

^ wrong.. you do not understand/see their passion like they with yours
(sure there exceptions just boring fucks, animefucks and whatever..)

word@go_cry! you see you think you do -beside being funny/perverted and other
-animu have true values which may remind you of something more important in yer real life


reality is real, animu is usually not, but the impact it may have on you is


escapism true too!

I am not addicted to anime.

Before i got addicted to anime or even starting watching continiously like i do now, i used to read a lot of books about magic watching films of samurai and sword fights.
After sometime those films weren't so exciting as it used to be. Maybe i got bored of the same movies everytime since nothing new with those subject were aired that much. So while i was searching i found about the anime world, where sword fights and magic were almost everywhere + with a good story line was really enjoyably to see. Later on i got more into the anime and i started watching more genres too.
I can say it's a nice escape of the tiring daily life, mostly i am watching anime while i am relaxing when i come back home or when i am bored in class ( almost always ).

Am i that addicted that i wouldn't be able to life without anime?
At summers i stop watching cause i am bored to stay home on the pc, I'm always outside day and night lol.. + the longer that i stoped was for one year that i was in army and i can't really say i missed it.

Damn... i sounded like when i tried to quit smoking, unthinkable.!!

For me, watching anime is a hobby or interest like how people treat sports as their hobby...it helps us to enjoy life and relax ourselves but everything has a limit.
If "you" go beyond borders and watch it excessively everyday, then it becomes a worst nightmare of what we call addiction and escaptism.
What I am trying to say is that watcher is the one who determine whether watching anime is a bad addiction to them or not. The doer is at fault as they have control over this thing, not anime.
