Did you ever think you'd watch as much anime as you have today when you started? When I was 14, after finishing TTGL subbed in 2007, and starting high school, I thought, I'm done with anime, time to grow up and make some friends and get to a good college. Well I failed at and at 32, I'm a rich retired NEET because my dad's mom died, but I watch 10 episodes a day and study Japanese. basically, watching /reading hundreds, if not thousands of anime/manga was not something I imagined in 2006/2007

>>282359180meh, I'm not. I was a failure of a fan back then and I fucked high school up. Now I watch tons of anime to compensate for time loss.
>>282358969>Did you ever thinknever
>>282359469>I was a failure of a fan back thenWhat does this mean?Stories are something that are made to be enjoyed however you like, you don't ought to do anything for them, they exist for you, not the opposite.Don't make up false ghosts in your head
>>282359592because I stopped watching because I wanted to get good at life, but failed at that too.
>>282359658who cares about the past, live the present and don't give a fuck
>>282358969I thought I'd be watching more but Japan's 'anime' today is not the same Japanime that we used to watch.
>>282360000No.
I wish I could be a richfag NEET who watches anime all day. Instead I'm somewhere inbetween a failed NEET and failed normalfag but at any rate a poorfag failure who resents society and life.
>>282360397Well if you willingly choose to suffer go ahead
>>282360501Well when I say rich, I'm sorta exaggerating. I wish I could bang pretty women. And rebuy my youth type rich. I'd be a homebody who'd watch anime 24/7 and bang hot cosplay girls while they are only allowed to speak in phrases like "nyaa"
>>282360787>I'm so rich that can live without working>I'm richer than 99% of humans alive today>I'm richer than almost 100% of any human who has ever lived>I wish I was in the top 1% of the top 1% of the top 1% of the top 1% of wealth in human history so that I could not work even more and live actual schizo fantasiesNigga this is a (you) problem at this pointget a grip
>>282358969No
tfw I had what OP wanted but it was overrated just like everything in this world
>>282358969Im a 30 year old neet/hikki who loves haruhi and still watches tons of anime, do you wanna be friends? I need someone to talk to.
>>282358969Fuck off you bragging rich parasite.
