Down with anime in USA

[Kenchii]

anyone just, stopped, watching anime for sometime? I have. so far 2 months.

[Joshua Christopher]

...What?

[Shao Feng-Li]

??? Not really... They're just cartoons...

[Myoti]

Not on purpose. I haven't had a chance since I keep getting dragged away on the weekends.

[The Last Bard]

Umm...You do realize this is an Anime board, right?
And most of us live in the USA, so I doubt we will be
watching in JP instead.

[Kenchii]

Umm...You do realize this is an Anime board, right?

Yup, been here since CAA started.

[dragonshimmer]

Yup. Though not intentionally. Sometimes I'll go a month or so without watching because I've become sidetracked by something else.

[Cognitive Gear]

Yeah. This happened to me before. Not intentional, just something else takes up all my attention at the time.

[Arnobius]

Actually, I've been losing interest these past 2 months or so, hardly watched any

[FadedOne]

lol...odd. although i find this thread kind of...pointless, i guess it's interesting to those who have been here a long time and perhaps dont find themselves addicted anymore.

however, 'down with anime in the US' is kind of...overboard? unless it's a kind of sarcasm or something. *shrug* but yeah... There's nothing wrong with anime. Just like any addiction, they come and go. Life is all about phases.

[Arnobius]

Of course, in my case it was a 6 year phase where I studied the language and culture constantly. Kind of weird how dedicated I was.

[Shao Feng-Li]

Like a new toy.

Maybe we just grow up in a way.

Same here.

Though if SOMEONE would mail me the last six eps of Full Moon, I'd watch those.

*confuzzled* Maybe the thread's author is fed up with mainstream anime culture and shoddy Region 1 DVDs?

I like anime but I feel it closes peoples minds quite a bit.

Not to long ago I was quite sheltered. I was the only person in town (that I knew of) with any interest in anime. But recently as I explore online more I begin to see more anime fans, and how they act so much alike.

I voted yes, its not going to stop me from watching though ;P

[Alice]

I did for awhile, several years ago.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

I enjoy anime and manga but its not easy to rent in Australia and buying stuff is usually the only option and that's expensive. We very rarely have anime on tv. I haven't watched anime for about 1 month probably but I don't have many. Last Exile was the last one I watched. Got to watch Metropolis and Noir again.

[ChristianKitsune]

Hmm I watch some anime almost everynight.. When I get off of CAA I go to my room and flip on Adult Swim and FMA is usually on...

Of course I have cut back on my anime' fetish and have replaced it with CAA... I watch anime from time to time..and I still draw it as much as I can... but I have found that I don't watch as much.. I tend to read more manga than anime

Btw W4J LAST EXILE ROX!

[Ren_sama]

Uh..no. ^^;
I watch anime more often now then before. Partially because it's the summer, so I can.
I also discovered...four new anime. So I'm watchin all of those.
They may take awhile...
^__^;

[Jeikobu]

Up with anime in the US! The more the better, and I hate going a day without watching any. The only thing I can say is no more rotten dubs or DVDs with dub only, and we need more subbed anime shown on TV.

[ChristianKitsune]

Ugh..this has turned pretty ugly.... I wonder if we should all stop arguing and just be friends?

[Kisa]

read more manga lately than watching anime, lol

[Azier the Swordsman]

I wish I could watch more anime, but with my current budget, I have to choose between games and anime, and gaming wins.

[Hitokiri]

I watch it every now and then. During school though I may go a week without it just cause i am busy.

[agasfas]

I can sometimes go a long periods without seeing an anime (aside from on TV). But that's usually during the school year. I think probably 3 months is the longest I've gone w/o watching anime. I usually just watch a few episodes here and there- nothing too extreme.

[Kenchii]

EXACALLY!!

But not only that. Im sorry to confuse some folks ^^; (thread title)

Jah. Same here. ~.~;

[Shao Feng-Li]

You may stop watching anime but, you can't tell anyone else not to watch.

Who ever said...

[uc pseudonym]

Comments aimed at one another would probably not be wise. I'll leave it at that; I think this thread can be a civil discussion.

I rarely watch anime regardless (I imagine I do go some months without seeing any), so this hardly matters to me. Because I've never been "obsessed" with anime, I also doubt I'll really get sick of it.

That's what he meant when he said down with anime? I thought he meant it in the sense of "are you down with it", meaning do you like it.
