How has anime ruined your life?

I'd say anime had a minimal impact, now if one saw my room they may think otherwise, I do own six manga sets and maybe a dozen anime shows, with the rest being Ghibli films, but that's it. I use to watch one or two shows each season but now it's more like one show every three months or so. My primary consumption of anime is with ToonamiERA and I find that to be enough anime for me. Though I am watching a show called Dororo which is pretty good, before that I saw High-Score Girl which also wasn't bad.
My social awkwardness more stems from other means that is unrelated to anime.

I doubt it. I was messed up before I got into and would've been just as messed up without it :P
Minimal. Benefitted me more than anything.
Well...I did go through a phase in my late teens trying to be the cool anime mysterious guy to try and get with women lol, but got over that quickly.

The only anime I have ever watched are films by Studio Ghibli so I guess I have to go with minimal damage because those movies are wonderful
I voted minimal but I seem to be pretty fine from Anime.
Hell, Shaman King back in the day inspired me to work out for some goddamn reason so maybe it was a net positive overall.

Loved these.
My all time favorite is Baccano!
Some others are:
Aria The Animation
Monogatari Series
Fate/Zero
The Garden of Words
Jormungand
Kino's Journey (2003)
Millennium Actress
Mononoke
Monster
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
Mushishi
Shirobako
Steins;Gate
Some ghibli films.
Nice. I basically know of just about all of these. I've been meaning to get around to watching Monster since it seems like it's right up my alley, but it's so hard to find decent ways to watch it.
Anime was an invaluable part of my life growing up.
I grew up in Malaysia, where Doraemon is more or less a cultural icon for young kids born in the 80s. Through Nobita's constant perils and his inadequacies, while he had a lot of flaws and often tried to cheat his way through hard work, it helped me find my place growing up as I struggled with my own inadequacies, where as I grew older from my pre-school to elementary to high-school, I found myself surrounded by people who were more talented and more hardworking than me, and Doraemon allowed me an emotional place to grapple with that part of me even as I was constantly pressured by the expectation to be the best I could be at all times.
So it saved my life, and I'm pretty sorry that it ruined y'alls.

implying that I'm lying about every thing I have posted
it's called healing and i am healing
Same here in Indonesia.
The thing is that Doraemon isn't really a part of the otaku industry...
I became a degenerate, and then somewhere along the line I decided that if I became a degenerate, I might as well be a high-spec degenerate, and so I went through some life decisions that has arguably made me a better person in all aspects across the board.
I'm still a filthy degenerate, though.

That makes me wonder tho, why is it that only people who are into anime like to call themselves trash/degenerate?
You merely adopted the damage.
I was born in it. Melded by it.
I had waifus in cartoons and games before I even graduated to anime!

Minimal damage.
Worst is being exposed to other anime fans, having to have knowledge of some of the schlock that gets produced and hearing "it's a Trap" style "jokes" directed at me at cons.
Otherwise I have had 100s of hours of enjoyment from the medium.

Deeply rooted insecurities spawned by rejection and bullying over out interest played for laughs ironically, so we can pretend we "own" it while in actuality every single time it feels like a hot knife entering our pancreas.
nope
searching for DBZ stuff as a kid lead me to a DBZ forum
that forum lead me to people I'm still friends with to this day
without it, I wouldn't have met the person who introduced me to the person who would end up being my first kiss during an age I would register a first kiss (14, btw)
and even putting aside that forum, I would be a worse person without anime
imagine living life without knowing about Heero Yuy

Because of Goku I started using "ora" instead of "ore" when referring to myself, and kids made fun if me for it at school.
It's been 20 + years since then and I still use "ora" when talking to my mom lol.

I don't watch anime but this was hilarious. Love it. I can relate except that behind my brain's doors are a bunch of super nerdy audio engineering and music production facts no one cares about.
It sounds cheesy as balls but Shonen has helped me motivate myself for the gym.
Thinking of shit like Luffy vs Katakuri and Naruto vs Pain helps me get those lasts reps in when I'm shattered. I see them as heroes and someone to aspire to be. But I keep that shit to myself i don't go round gomu gomu-ing people and have little merchandise. I know it's a slippery slope.

I'm sure that's true for some people. I have an easier excuse - I'm Catholic. Guilt comes with the package lmao.
relatable
Hey man, check out this song
*song finishes then player shuffles to weeb shit
I can get being influenced by anime, but having your life downright ruined by it?
This is not normal in any way. It's just another genre of media, why would you let it take control of your life and all?
Why can't it be treated like other movies/tv shows?
I'm not trying to be judgemental, I genuinely don't understand why can anime specifically influence lives in so many negative ways compared to other things.
If those problems cannot be solved on your own, seeking help from therapists is definitely the way. It's fine enjoying watching anime but you can't let it destroy your life.

Hey I care! (Ironically because in my attempt to escape anime I found music production)
