I haven't watched any anime since I came to Japan haha, how's that for irony.

After coming here my Japanese for a long time wasn't good enough to understand it, and then only good enough to understand it, but not enough to Enjoy it. And it has no subs here ...

Honestly it's a habit or hobby you might not want to get into, once you start an anime you like it is VERY difficult to go to bed at a normal hour unless you've finished the entire series lol.

There are few animes that I watched which took more than a few days to finish from first to last episode. But maybe that's just my style and others can pace themselves...

If you enjoy your life without it, it may encroach upon the other things which you like and damage them or push them out of your life, in the long run you might regret it.

If you spend a shitload of time watching American tv-shows anyways, just swap in anime for one of those series.

cowboy bebop
samurai 7

those are the 2 I want to watch again after years away from anime
