Title: Why do Americans (or anyone) watch Anime?
Post by: ThatGamer on January 02, 2015, 09:25:41 PM
I would love to know why people watch anime!

Please provide an appropriate answer!

I don't want stupid crap, so here's the rules:

Don't be an ass about your answer.

Don't hate.

Don't spam.

Respect other opinions.


Really, I can't stop people from breaking the rules, but I'll try.

Reasons to watch something:

1. Because you want to.

Because people like watching television in general, and anime is a form of television. It's easily accessible on the internet, there are lots of fandoms that make shows easy to get into, and lots of animes are pretty short (10-20 episodes or less, sometimes), so you can watch a lot of them in a small amount of time.

That's what I've gathered anyway. This is still sort of a silly thread though.

It's not like you're automatically a weeaboo just because you watch anime; there are people that can enjoy all forms of media without being disturbingly obsessive about one in particular.

I love how the thread title only says "Americans".

It's like nobody else watches anime.

In the past two months you've made at least 7 or 8 topics. So no, it hasn't been "months" since you last created one.

Exactly, that's what I was referring to. All of his ridiculous topics seem to drift off towards random spam. Which is why he should stop making ridiculous topics.
