I watch it for the plot.
I-I mean... I only watch it because it happened to be on, okay? I don't l-like it or anything! W-who would actaully want to watch anime?
It's like reading a novel the lazy way. Why not? it's also more colorful!
It's not like I stayed up just to watch it...i-it it just happens that I can't sleep on Sundays! Turning on the television at 1am was... j-just a coincidence! yes, a coincidence!
Tsundere are the best~!
that sentence and your avatar...
You forgot his Nickname.... Who else wouldn't write like this when he has this avatar and nickname... xD
As expected by our Palmtop Tiger..
Well if all thsoe polls we've seen is any indication. They watch it for the moe. That's it.
Yes, you watch it for the plot.
That could imply one or the other, depending on which fandom you belong to.
" Reality is like a game, a crappy one…" quote of the century....from a 2D GOD
Ideals...
Absolute convictions that transcend reality.
If they truly exist...
The real world is just a crappy game.
The ideal world can only be found within a game.
Such was my belief.
But, if an ideal can be found within a crappy game, there may be an ideal route in the real world... ...for me to discover
TT^TT best quote ever and soo inspiring too
game over
Or more like someone who just 'lost the game'
The reasons I watch anime:
1)Because I have the hots for several female seiyuu who I, being American, have about zero chance with, even if I could go to Japan.
2)Because there aren't many good shows on TV anymore. Except for game shows, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, The Simpsons, Robot Chicken, The Office and Bill Maher. But those are the ones I watch the most.
3)I'm not hip enough to be a "brony".
Nice reasons and a nice avatar.
want to get those japenese va girls, just befriend a japanese girl and get her to assist you in getting your fav seiyuu drunk then to bed then happy hump time!
Similar, I guess, however for my part I already did the pony thing back in the '80s when my sister was into them.
Don't look at me like that.
Also, I haven't been able to appreciate the Simpsons in years, The Office jumped the shark after the wedding IMO, I haven't watched game shows much since Bob Barker retired, and the only talk show host I really care for is Ferguson (Conan is okay, but really nothing special, Letterman used to be great, but has really lost his edge, and while I used to enjoy Jon Stewart more, his shtick has gotten old; Colbert's was already old before he got his own show; Leno can go die in a fire, and I've felt that way literally since he replaced Johnny). I can't stand any of the political show hosts of any faction (they are all arrogant, pompous blowhards, and none of them represent my views anyway). Olbermann was great when he was on ESPN, now he's just bitter and self-absorbed - nothing but a left-wing counterpart to Limbaugh and O'Reilly. Maddow is no better, IMO, and adds being a man-hating dyke on top of it.
Those are my opinions, though.
In the end, most of the live-action TV I watch that isn't sports is what's brought over from the BBC (Doctor Who and Top Gear, mostly).
3.To escape reality
...holy shit. and i thought i'm the only one.
The real world is for people who can't imagine anything better.
Me two escape forever
And people wonder why I play open world games for so long. cause Reality bites, plain and simple. other wise I'd go insane and start stabbing people with knives.
Well reality also gave me anime. I don't use anime to escape from reality but to complement it.
Same here a well. Anime puts me in happier, more interesting places than I would ever have otherwise. Sounds pathetic, I know, but it's true.
i feel you man..
Same here!
and same here!
And here!
I like that reason.
Don't get me wrong! It's not like I like anime or manga or anything. It just happened to be in my face when I'm looking straight that's all!
Tsundere reason?
WIN
Makise Kurisu reason.
Aria Reason!
blow it out yer azz
They're all lying to themselves! It is and has always been 2d lust!!!! Fun? Pure semantics there!
kugimiya rie... just saying, she's been having a staple over the tsundere (well loli) dept
+1000
Totally agree
You forgot to insert "Baka!" at the end.
Because I love cute girls raping my brain!
And thats the nearest we can get to a cute girl, in 2D. Everything else lands you in jail.
It's not rape when you enjoy it.
"10. Because I can only love 2D girls"...
Because I can only love 2D boys...onii-chan types.
glad im not you
you're just mad you're not an onii-chan
yep you got me
They're so cute at that age. :3 *glomps*
Because i hate social norms
I think I figured out why I like anime-related things now.
Damn Straight!
Your avatar says otherwise....
I... see what you did there.
I hate society and his stupid norms
I love 2D girls especially yuri ones
#1: Finally some common sense. We just enjoy watching, wtf, we're not weirdos freaks, we just enjoy the damned shows.
Damn right.
You two.... better not change your avatars.
Definitely agreed. Most... definitely... agreed.
seriously.. you three have the avatars perfectly in position
I burst out in laughter when i saw you guys. it made my day XD
