So /a/, what led you to decide to obsess over this incredibly niche medium?
>niche

Niche compared to normal hobbies
i hate my self so much
Aosora images?
Well they're just so wonderfully cute and grotesque at the same time.
I like animation and there's fuck all in the West

Same desu, I like detailed hand-drawn animation which there's fuck all of in the west outside of disney
By not obsessing.
I like cute things a lot.
That's it.

Loneliness
Everyone and their parents grew watching anime in my country
I love western animation too but I can binge watch every 2008-now cartoon in less than a month, opposed to anime.
As a child I liked childish things, as a teenager I liked slightly more complicated childish things, as an adult I like children.
It was a lot of things actually.
The place where I rented my videogame time closed and I was already bored with the whole videogame thing. I got internet so I could actually download anime. And I found out the kind of anime I like.
Obsessed is a weird word. I could appear obsessed to the casual anime fan that is part time normalfag, but copared to you guys I'm the casual.
I can stop any time I want
Niche? Anime? In 2017? Are you retarded?
Have you seen modern TV?

The SAO movie made a million on the box office on opening weekend and that was considered a massive success. Anime is still niche
Smoking weed, they don't call it a gateway drug for nothing
>>157685865
anime led me to weed and now i cant quit doing both at the same time

Just another argument for why it should be kept illegal
>>157685898
This, nothing beats watching chinese cartoons drunk and stoned, it feels like you're in the anime when you've drank and smoked enough ime
>>157685865
>Dude weed!
Take cyanide and then wipe your computer clean anon.
Being constantly overworked and having a shitty job Cute anime girls seemed like the only good thing in the world at the time.
I wasn't into anime all that much until i moved out and got a fulltime job.

Most posts are somewhat personal when you think about it.

There's a difference between talking about anime/manga and talking about your life. So fuck off.
>>157684230
It's past bedtime and i still can't sleep, so why not, i grew up watching anime on tv and i am a second generation weeb, hanging around other weebs in high school also played a part, here is not that niche, actually i found 4chan because of a friend's older brother, who also is a weeb
it's free
>>157684230
There is so much of it that I will never be bored ever again.
>>157686551
underrated point, free hd anime is so easy to come by
Easy to digest, I like cute girls and I like pretty animation. What's not to like
>>157684230
Every other part of life sucked and I wanted variety from my animated entertainment.

Where do you live that any anime at all is considered "normal". Nobody outside obese CS students admit watching anime in my country (Germany) and it's far far from being mainstream. Everything more than "I watched Pokemon as a kid" is regarded weird by normies here.
At its best, you get some fucking out there concepts out of Japan you would never get in the west.
Can you imagine a westerner writing the insane shitshow that is Code Geass or something as enjoyably awful as Guilty Crown?
