Wow, I used to be anime obsessed, but now... It's almost boring...

I used to really like anime, and I was SO obsessed with it... i keep thinking though, my sis made me start watching Bleach(URAHARA FTW), and I rly like it. most ppl I know who watch anime are totally obsessed. I don't know a single person who isn't... I really don wanna get over- obsessed...
Especially since I found new interest in House and Bones, cuz I really like those shows now...
I kinda quit anime after 7th grade cuz every1 made fun of me for liking it...
idk if that's bad or not, but my life is a hell of alot bttr now :]

 

I know, I've seen near to everything that looks cool, but now all thats left is the boring stuff. How unfortunate. :(

 

Yea, anime just got really old really fast... Hard to keep liking it...

 

You don't have to be obsessed with anime to what it, esspecialy if it's only 1 or 2 shows.

 

LOLOLOL! Now it's only one or two shows. It used to be like 15 at once XD

 

A change of interests is never a bad thing. On the contrary, it's sad when you get overly obsessed with one particular hobby.
You're just growing out of it.

 

I have liked anime since like I was seven. Sailor Moon FTW. And hey now I am fifteen and I still watch. Sure people call me a freak or whatever, but I just go along with it. Honestly, I did hide that I liked it for a long time, but now it's like people just accept that I like it. And fifteen at once? Wow...that is alot of anime.

Edit: Hmmm, I'm sure not all of the animes are boring, one that is not is Full Metal Panic. If you have not seen that show, I would recommend it. Maybe it might help you still like it or something.

 

I enjoy anime. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm obsessed, but I do like to watch different ones. I don't care what people think of what I like or dislike because it's MY choice.

 

Maybe I'm overexagerating a bit on 15 at once, and maybe I wasn't obsessed exactly- but people made fun of me and kept telling me I was obsessed if I even tried to talk about it >.>
So i kinda quit... but I like to talk about stuff I see, so am I obsessed if I try to talk about it(alot)? O__O;;

 

Still, you shouldn't just give in like that.

 

You're growing older that's why. Your interest is starting to develop away from the norm of animation and more towards the other entertainment avaliable. I guess talking about it isnt obsessive. I guess if you cosplay, talk, walk, act and all of your personal belongings are influenced by a certain franchise then that's obsessive. It's only when you can't live with it then you should be worried.

 

I watch it and people call me a freak. And honestly, I just don't let it get to me. I say things like, "Yep I sure am!" Then I just continue on with whatever conversation I was having before.

 

That's the way to go! I think this attitude helps deal with this situation. More often than not it's the way we react that dictates what people will say next.

 

I got bored with it for a while, because I was only watching Naruto and bleach, the stuff in english. However, it's not as boring now that I've got a list of, like, 50 different shows I wanna watch... XD

I once wore a naruto headband to school and my entire drama class started pointing and laughing at me at the same time... I really didn't care what they thought, but I still ended up crying... It sucked. =(

 

Huh... well I read manga and talk about anime at my school sometimes, but no one makes fun of me or anything. I guess people don't care or they are too scared to insult me to my face, lol.

 

I like various things and anime and manga are two of them. People know I like some shows and well, no one really made fun of me for it probably because I didn't come off like a fanboy, or they just didn't want to insult me to my face.

It's not good to quit something because others don't like it really. The best thing to do is be yourself. I've been teased occasionally for some likes but most of the time it's by people I can out insult so they go away in shame as I tell them that at least I'm an individual and not trying to live a stereotype. Of course, it's also good to spread your wings and try out other things too so you don't become obsessed with just one sort of thing. There are so many genres of tv shows, movies and books etc that it's worth it to check out various ones and find out your tastes and dislikes.

 

You shouldn't get discouraged of what you do just because people make fun of you for it.... You need to talk to more anime-accepting people then.

And I guess you can say that anime gets boring sometimes, but that only means you should go out and look for anime (ones that are not super ultra popular, yet good). Sure you don't need to be obbessed and watch it 12+ hours a day and stuff...that's just kinda crazy.

Of course, this is your opinion, so go ahead and enjoy your life. =D

 

i'm actually amazed how picky i can get with anime... if i watched the anime first.... 4/10 chance i'll like the show, if i read the manga... well then i havent watched the show. Everyone thinks im obssessed but i like manga way more, because they cut a lot out of the manga when they put it in anime and edit a lot too

 

The only emglish anime I watch is FLCL and Death Note.

 

That's sad to hear. My highschool has an Animeclub so no worries here. :3 We are now watching Full Metal Alchemist Battle of Shaballa.
