Do you find yourself having at least some involvement with anime each and every day? Or do you only reserve time for it every now and then?
To a certain extent, I do find myself doing at least one anime-related thing everyday. If I don't have time to watch anime on one day, I'll mainly just surf the web and read forums or check out the latest news. It will actually be much easier for me to watch at least an episode of anime each day now that the semester is over. |

Oh its definetly an Everyday thing for me, If I dont watch an episode then ill read manga or visit this forum. If none of those happen (which would be an abbysmal nightmare of a day) then id probably be drawing anime characters or talking about it with some friends atleast once or twice.
I really enjoy Anime and Manga and I wouldnt really Imagine my life without it. |

Im trying to find some way where anime wouldn't be a part of my life at all, but at the very least, I'm humming some sort of tune.

Every day usually, though I also watch non-anime television shows, read various novels, go see a movie, go bowling or golfing with friends, play the occasional game, go to work, or attend college courses too.

Absolutely everday... assuming I'm not going to work (therefore not reading manga on my lunchbreak), and that I don't feel like watching a DVD that day, and I don't have to put away anything new that arrived in the mail over the last few days... I still hit this site at least once a day. So, something always works itself in.

Yep, pretty much. It's a rare day when I don't watch something, whether it be a fansub of a currently airing show, streaming something that's already had a broadcast run or watching something I own on DVD. I think I post multi-times on ANN virtually every day (much to the delight of all, RIGHT???)
... Yeah, so, I really need to get a girlfriend.

I've never thought about it in that way. I buy and read some series as they are published and every day between 11- 12 (pm) watch something- often anime, but often "regular" films and shows. During regular months of study I check forums about three times per day- mostly because I really don't have time to go out, but during holidays I can live without it for months.

Well I do something involved with it every day, but it's no more so than my other hobbies that range from reading actual books, non-Japanese comics, American tv shows, etc. Anime/manga's a major hobby for me, but I'm relieved to say it's no longer my life, at least to the extent of what it was when I was in middle-high school where I'd consume anything from Japan, good or bad.
I'm just on the forum a lot because my work has me on a computer a lot, and ANN is just one of many sites I have various browsers open to. Last edited by littlegreenwolf on Fri May 28, 2010 12:56 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I go periods of varying length without watching any anime at all, however I'm always keeping some kind of eye on anime news, lurk in a couple forums, and I unreservedly cherish the handful of anime-related podcasts I listen to. Yet it's only just sunk in now that you've mentioned it, that I spend a chunk of every day on anime. I would draw a quick conclusion that this is because I tend not to think of anime as holistically as I used to; sort of the same way I don't string together 70s exploitation flicks and romance comedies with Hugh Grant it's awkward now to remember that Doraemon and Shigurui have even a medium in common between them.

It pretty much is for me aswell, for one I usually try check out forums once a day, actually my browser has the anime forum on the favourits bar. I often watch anime as they are released of the ones I am following, or when I get a chance dureing the week, so most days I at least look at the specific sites. When a particular series hits me I will watch it on my DVD or look a manga. And lastly I will talk to my brother about various anime, especially when we take the dog for a walk. I also have recently taken to reading the novel of Haruhi Suzumiya.
The only times I don't do it in a day is if I am very busy, or I am engrossed in a video game. Lately I have been a bit of both aswell as sick, so I need to catch up. |

It was once upon a time, but now with first a wife 2 years ago and a baby from dec of last year, it's a pursuit when we have time. My wife watches a lot of stuff with me, even ecchi, whew, lol...but family and other things are more important now.

Not nearly as much as it used to be. Strangely enough, after becoming vice-president of my college anime club, I have spent less time watching anime. I do still spend quite bit of time reading about anime, and watching reviews, but I am finding it hard to get really excited about a series like I have done in the past. At first, I was really pumped about Durarara, but even that show is starting to grate on me with the last few episodes. I also post from time to time, but mainly in the mini-game thread, but I should really post more places, such as the talkback threads since I do read a lot of ANN articles. I also am one of those people that checks the forums far more often than my post count suggests. Heck, I probably read 50 or so posts for every one that I make.

Anime is like my morning cup of coffee every morning I get myself a cup of coffee turn on the computer and check the headlines at ANN or the reviews at kuri-ousity. if I have some time or don't have morning housework to do I'll watch an episode or two of a sereis I am watching on Crunchy Roll. Right now I am watching Glass Mask and Fist of The North Star. So yeah it is a daily pursuit partially because I write reviews for my blog so I am always on the look out for new stuff to watch and partially because I really enjoy it.

I pretty much do something anime related every day. I read manga after school/work, and when I have my hour of exercise each day I watch anime during that time. When I'm online, I usually post here or read reviews, etc. I also like to check stuff out at the library; I really enjoy the hobby, and wouldn't imagine it would be any other way with any other hobby. I think that's been the general consensus.

From my initial interpretation of what "daily pursuit" would mean I'd have said no. Some months/seasons... yes. But I tend to go through stages where I don't watch much anime, focusing instead on live-action movies or something of that nature. But under the definition of "something anime related each day", then I suppose I'd have to qualify, because I tend to post here every day (and if not posting, then at least browsing). But there are other interests that take up equal (or greater) amounts of internet time... such as music and baseball. Heck, if you tally up the amount of time I spend on Facebook, it would probably be abysmally horrifying.
I guess to sum up, anime is a daily pursuit, but not always the daily pursuit. |
