How has anime ruined your life?
- Thread starter Puck Beaverton
- Start date
I think psychological therapy in Japan is still stigmatized, at least more than it is in America. The only anime I can think of off the top of my head that treats therapy as normal and healthy (as in, generally well adjusted people use therapy to stay healthy) is Psycho Pass.
out of topic but where did you find those nomming blobs in your profile pic? they're so cute!
Minimal damage. I've gotten my girlfriend into Bebop and we saw the movie when it came back to theaters for its anniversary. I don't really watch as much anime as I did when I was younger but I've been watching DBZ again here and there.
I'm so damaged, I keep my Crunchyroll sub even though my home internet is so shit I can't stream reliably.
I'm good. I had a couple of dragon shirts in the 90s, but that phase didn't last too long.
Also went to a monthly otaku group where they did showings of anime shows on basically a movie screen. That was rad.
I was into it, but not obsessed I guess. I like One-Punch Man and got a subscription to the Shonen Jump app a couple of months ago.

Little to no damage? Well, after watching an anime I'm mostly done with it and move on.
I'm not telling everyone that I occasionally watch anime, though nor do I try copying behaviors from the protagonist of an anime.
Also on WhatsApp or any other social media I would not use an anime avatar. It's weird if you're the only one having one and were to explain things.
All in all anime helped me. Mostly Slice of Life anime - fun to watch and entertaining.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. You started smoking because of a cartoon character? How old were you when you watched Bebop?!
One day a week I get to watch Mob. The rest of the week I have to wait for more Mob.

Anime is just the thing I watch when I need some nonsensical entertainment in front of me.
From time to time, I will sit down and watch a new series. It isn't part of my day to day life. When I was around 18-20, though, I watched a great deal of it.
So no noticeable damage senpai

Anime is the reason I met my current girlfriend and we are about to reach out sixth year of relationship.
Nah the one I saw was different and lower quality material but same concept and design.

I started watching anime strictly socially at first. Parties, hanging out with friends. It was just something that helped me relax around others, a "social lubricant" if you will. Everyone else was watching it, it can't be that bad for me, Miyazaki won an Oscar so that means it's legitimate. I came up with every excuse in the world to try to justify what I was doing. But I swore to myself, I would never be one of those people. The people who buy body pillows. The people who spend hundreds of dollars on box sets. The weebs. Not me, I was above that.
Boy was I wrong.

Clannad and Clannad after story litterally broke my soul for a good month and couldn't stop thinking about it and how helpless we can get in life

It helped me find modern animation series I like rather than sticking with the Golden Age of American animation.
Yup. Without Goku, I would have never found the discipline I've learned in the gym to take into all aspects of life. Thank you Son Kun.
I am glad I'm too old for all of the serialized stuff that is modern anime. I've tried, it's just not good.
For me, it's only Studio Ghibli and movies and shows from before about 2003, which is when everything got lazy.
I'm 36 and thanks to anime I'm a believer that flat is justice and will only date girls with a b cup or smaller.
something i appreciated about anime growing up is that there were androgynous characters who were strong and intelligent - and most importantly *competent* - in a way that the western media i was exposed to never portrayed
i'm sure if i looked back on the anime i watched as a kid - a lot of which has blurred together in my memory - i would find that under scrutiny the representation wasn't as positive as i felt it was at the time or that i projected a bit of myself into certain characters in a way that the author didn't intend
but growing up, i appreciated it
