How has anime ruined your life?
- Thread starter Puck Beaverton

Liking big titties has nothing to do with anime. Two of my friends and my brother went to art school just because they wanted to learn how to draw sexier women.
Made me awkward at first (for a while) though now a days it stands more as mythological constructs that make me consider more what the nature of sacrifice is, what does selflessness really mean, what is never giving up, and so on. Anime/manga has some pretty powerful metaphors and parables for these things. It is important to always have in the front of your mind that all of it is expanded to the extreme. You will never be as lucky, fated, or unbreakable as any myological person, but that doesnt mean you cant draw inspiration from fiction. That's the point of the art. Well that and money.
Some anime can take tiddies and the related physics to a whole new level. Btw, I am simply stating, not complaining.

I have watched Cowboy Bebop and One Punch Man. Feel like I'm one of the lucky ones.
Out before ah-knee-may hurts me.
Anime only made my life better. Taught me plenty of moral lessons, far more than I would get from western animation.
Also gave me more creativity in designing outfits and well also allowed me to explore many music genres I never would've seen otherwise.
Anime is the fucking best.

Minimal damage. I got into it in the early '90s, before the weeb battalions had formed and it was still relatively underground and hard to come by. My classmates were disinterested in it, and when some of us went on a school trip to Japan they were baffled by my knowledge of it, but that's about it.
This. Dragon Ball is probably the origin of my gym obsession.
After I saw that movie I went to the gym and smashed all my records because Goku.
I like anime, but I don't watch it nearly as much as I did in middle and high school. I watch maybe one new show a year max. Overall though I rewatch the shows I've always liked such as Cowboy Bebop or FLCL. I read more manga these days. Stuff like vagabond, and my media consumption has expanded significantly to many other mediums.
Anime has not ruined my life, and I had a pretty good high school experience. I've also made some friends through mutual interest. Though in middle school I did have anxiety about people finding out I liked anime.

Honestly it's probably responsible for at least 80% of where I am today in life in a bunch of positive ways. Definitely wouldn't have gotten good at editing/motion graphics if I hadn't started making AMVs and I've lowkey got both of the "real" jobs I've had in my life because of skills I learned to fuck around with anime shit
I'm a Phantump and I'm not really a weeaboo because screw labels.
It would be very disingenuous of me to blame my shortcomings on anime. I'd be a different sort of stupid asshole without anime, but I'd still be a stupid asshole.
It has however been more alienating of late. I tend to like more obscure works so I don't have anyone to talk to about them. Last show I watched was familiar to exactly one other person in this entire community. The few folks who did show up were very pleasant to hear from but it wasn't much of a discussion. It would've been far more efficient to get folks chatting if I made a "what did you poop today" thread or whatever.

Okay, I understand. It just bugs me that people think artists that use an anime art styles are more perverted, when that isn't the case, and really a good buch of people in any country get into drawing because to draw sexy man/woman.
The mutual interest in anime helped me get closer to a group of friends I met in high school. more than a decade later, we're still in touch. As we grew, we organized mini cons and helped a friend with a bigger con. Because of that, socially awkward people who normally don't interact with others met like minded friends and saw that other people were just like them. For that weekend, they felt accepted, and it was great to watch that happen in real time and be somewhat of a facilitator.
Sad to hear that you skip out on many great anime. Please at least don't skip Mob Psycho 100 just because there exist body pillows of the characters.

How did you make it past the first episode that featured sexual assault
Oddly enough no, I think I'm probably just shy of that.
I do read manga daily, but I read manhua and manhwa daily too and I've probably read more western books/comics than anything out of Asia.
I don't really buy merch, don't go to cons, and only have actual conversations about anime/manga with one of my close friends. Funny enough, that same friend is literally the only other person I've organically met in real life who is into anime/manga at a similar level of interest and also been a chill person aside from that.
Yeah, it makes you not watch any more as everything else is mediocre at best, unless you watch more 90s hentai. Best to read Hentai instead nowadays.
