What do you feel when watching anime?

Postby DaeRyusen » Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:41 am

Hey, I don't know about you but, well, I've watched so much anime, it made me feel happy and I loved it, it doesn't matter which because there is way too many to list, and well I forgot most.

But the point now is, I feel an emptyness inside me. I have left so many animes unfinished, I was also wondering is anyone felt that?.

Ah, to be a newbie. Having this air of innocence incoherently mixed with stupidity.



Anyway. I'd have to say that I do feel that emptiness sometimes.

I used to watch loads of anime everyday! Two or three episodes of two or three different anime! It was great!

But lately I've grown bored of anime in general. Yeah, I do stop an boob-tube some anime when I'm bored. But he thrill to watching anime has died a bit.

I think I may need to get away from my busy schedule and watch some good action anime or some emotional animes to get back in my swing.

But really I feel the emptiness for lack of anime.

There's nothing to worry about.

I feel an emptiness only when I've run out of Clannad style romances. I need romance! But mostly I feel happy watching anime. (And sometimes annoyed or disgusted)

What do I "feel".

Well seeing as most of my anime preference is either the KimiKiss Pure Rouge variation, usually emotional, as a good romantic anime normally does that (unless the person is emotionally dead inside).

A lot of my anime is like Azumanga Daioh, so I usually feel good because laughter is usually the logical response to that sort of anime, and laughing makes me feel good.

I watch enough anime of the Claymore sort, and that leaves me feeling entertained the way a movie would.

Now if I was to watch a lot of anime day after day after day, I guess it would leave me tired but that would apply equally if I marathoned all 10 seasons of SG1, or several of my documentaries too.

The word empty though certainly doesn't apply.

Empty might apply if I was watching adult content material, but what would you expect :) People don't watch adult content for anything else ya know. I certainly don't watch it for the plot hehe

My point exactly, hentai SUCKS (both literally and figuratively).

I sometimes feel stressed because I can't decide which of the 17 series I have going I should watch.

I maintain a pretty solid like for anime, ut I'm not sure how much that really says considering the following:

I actually watch anime fairly little. like a few series a month at most. I just watch stuff when I feel like it, and when something new comes out for something I like.

I love cartoons in general. I prefer the medium to live in general

I've been in ruts before, like 3+ months of not watching any anime because I didn't feel like it.

Unfinished anime don't have some big emptiness thing for me, even if i'm not watching anime. Mainly because the only reason I've ever not watched it was that I didn't feel like it. \:

Now don't get me wrong, I still have show I will geek out about at any given time, and put everything aside to watch, I marathon anime when I get a new entertaining thing to watch too.

Right now though, I'm watching mah Avatar discs from the start. Book Three Volume three comes out 5/6!!! :D

I'm totally hyped. I'm just not watching anime.

Well, when I watch anime I have this supreme addiction to whatever I'm watching. I easily get drawn into the plot/art/music/etc. A way of putting it is that I feel relieved. Stress-free, and able to relax when I watch anime. Depending on the anime, I get so drawn in that I go mildly insane at times. And when I finish an anime, especially one that I really got into, I start to feel empty as if someone died. And I think to myself that I could watch it over again, but it wouldn't be any different, and I knew what was going to happen. I like the feeling of not knowing what's next, so I typically don't try to read spoilers and such things as it will just ruin things for me greatly. /ramble

Something tells me hasteroth doesn't realize the context of the word empty I was employing :)

I don't think hentai sucks in fact hentai doesn't actually inspire me to think much at all.

I reserve involved thinking for subject matter that's worth the effort.
I also don't ponder the chocolate bar I'm eating as I eat it, I just enjoy it for what it is.

If I go a week without watching an anime, I don't call that a rut, I call that a week with a lot of choices. I just didn't get around to any anime that week.

My point was not that it sucks, but rather that it's porn and nothing else.

My eyes hate me for watching it, however, the rest of my body feels happy and content.

I watch a craptastic amount of the stuff, but I'm also an animation fan in general. Guess the reason I like it is that with animation, pretty much anything is possible. I also like J-dramas and stuff like that though too.
