Have you ever picked up any hobbies because of anime, /a/?
>>135863230
everything I do is because of anime.
Watching anime.
learning jap, and weiss schwarz
Kendo actually.
Mahjong after both Akagi and Saki
I started to draw because of anime
>>135863672
This, I have my own set and everything. Now if only other people were willing to stop thinking Mahjong is that game where you match the tiles.
Does being a general failure in life and a NEET count as a hobby?
>>135863230
Math
>>135863921
>that hair
Maybe if she kept up a semblance of appearance she could get a 3DPD.
>>135863921
Is it common to keep plushies in the package like that?
>>135863921
Are you saying anime is somehow responsible for you turning out the way you did?
>>135863921
Well in that case, can you even consider an addiction a hobby?
Not committing suicide
>>135864020
The hair looks pretty standard. Have you never seen a 3D nip?
>>135864259
Yes. Their teeth are not as nice as anime makes it out to be, sadly.
Why DOES Japan have such shit dental care anyway?
>>135864468
They aren't concerned about dental aesthetics. At least not as much as burgers are.
>>135863230
Igo Soccer from Nichijou
Yes. I decided to watch anime because it's better than almost all 3D shit.
>>135863704
Same here but I think I gave up too early. I quit because I was disappointed in the disparity between my imagination and what I could put on paper but that was before I learned how long it takes to truly master a skill.
Also holy shit I can't into markers. Colored pencils all the way.
>>135864905
>uguu
I wouldn't say anime gave me new hobbies per-se. It did change my tastes in old ones though. Bought a bunch of guns because they were in shows I liked, and I started collecting gunto swords. My drawing style shifted as well.
>>135864905
That is probably the most horrifying thing I've seen in this new year
>>135863230
Kendo actually, for about a year when I lived in Tokyo.
Well and learning Nipponese, though that was also sorta for work.
>>135863230
>>135863230
subbing, because the sub group quit 4 episodes and 2 OVAs before the end.
>>135863230
I was obsessed with origami for a few months in middle school because I was a massive weeb because of anime, does that count? Otherwise, anime has pretty much sapped all my other hobbies away the more I got into it.
>>135864905
Post more
>having other hobbies than anime
You clearly do not watch enough anime.
I actually started playing volley because sports anime made me feel bad about throwing my youth in the trash.
I bought a 3ds after watching Umaru and the Yuru Yuri OVA+ 2
>>135865913
That's funny, harem anime made me feel bad about doing extracurricular activities in high school and not spending all my free time on anime and manga while I still had it.
Masturbation.
>>135863230
Lolicore isn't so bad
>>135865999
How? Seems like it'd usually be the other way around.
>>135865607
>>135863641
>>135863230
Mah niggas
>tfw trying to start a club at college but literally no one knows what it even is
>>135863230
Contemplating suicide.
>>135866073
>tfw nobody here even knows what kendo is either
>had to pick up squash so I don't degenerate completely and also because some guys at my firm play
Suffering
>>135866073
Because I have a desperate instinct to fit in, I always thought of myself as a fairly anti-social guy, and all the MCs are complete losers who don't do any activities at all, so it makes me feel insecure.
I got a job because of gochiusa if that counts
>>135866244
Please explain further.
I'm already A1 and A2 on Spanish thanks to SnW
getting to play one of the most hardest heroes to play in DotA.
>>135863921
There's gotta be a reason (aside from addiction narrative) why people do become closet introverts. I mean, it's pretty clear that we weren't made to move stones, not made to farm the fields etc. when machines are 1000x more productive than us. I feel like those people who say "get out of your basement" have no idea themselves.
>>135866297
>I mean, it's pretty clear that we weren't made to move stones, not made to farm the fields
We weren't "made" to do anything, if that's what you mean. But evolutionarily building robots to farm and hunt for us wasn't the idea, methinks.
I'm thinking of buying a portable keyboard so I could play sweet anime tunes.
>>135866297
>I feel like those people who say "get out of your basement" have no idea themselves.
No idea what? Why people become shut-ins?
>>135866276
W-well the girls all looked like they are having so much fun together and they take pictures
and I don't have any friends so I got a job at a small little coffee shop near my placeand continued to not have any friends
>>135866456
You got a job because the GochiUsa's had friends at their job and you wanted friends? I feel so sad now.
>>135866456
Maybe we can work together and be friends too
>>135866139
It's weird because all the other colleges in this city have kendo teams. Hell, one of them even hosts one of the largest kendo tournaments in my country every year, but I have yet to find one person to start something with.I'm still holding out on the possibility of meeting a cute kendo 3D to form a club with.
>>135866567
I don't think anyone around here does kendo, honestly. My firm has a fencer, that's it really. It's a tough life, being a responsible adult with barely any chance to slip and inappropriately land on a girl who vaguely looks like teh Rei.
>>135866556

Never give up, I've been trying to get good for years and I still suck.
Pic related, it's a doodle on my homework.
>>135863230
I chose my University degree because of anime, if that counts
>>135863230
Going to the gym because of Hajime no Ippo. Never got that buff sadly, just don't have that body type. But I did get defined enough to have six packs and shit. Started that way back in 2008. Hitting the gym every other day back then, though now I only go 3 times a week.
>>135866738
What the fuck did you choose mate?
I would say browsing /a/, but I actually started watching anime because of /a/ so that's sort of not true.
>>135863230
Model building and figure collecting.
>>135866777
Why would you go to /a/ before getting into anime?
>>135866729
>high school level physics
Underage detected
>>135866765
Astronautery
>>135866729
Underage fuck off
>>135866834
what shitty community college did you went then?
>>135866827
>Why would you go to /a/ before getting into anime?
Lurking out of curiosity, I guess.
>>135866765
biotechnology, to engineer catgirls for domestic use, obviously.
>>135866765
At that time I was watching Gundam, Planetes and Space Brothers
So I picked Space Engineering and now I have no time for anime. no regrets
>>135866729
I don't even know what the fuck are all those scribbles even about.
>>135866921
Become an astronaut and be the first man to watch anime in space
>>135863230
Crossdressing.
>>135866777
This
Also nice lucky trips
>>135863230
I went to culinary school because of anime food.
>>135866921
>picking your degree because you were watching Planetes and Space Brothers
I wish I could make decisions that randomly.
>>135866971
How did that work out for you
>>135866827

I tend to play with my dad and other... problem with dad is his insistence we play with real money. So we have a gigantic pile of loonies (canadian 1 dollar coins) from which 80$ are probably from me losing. God I suck
>>135866991
Better than I was expecting, to be honest.I now work in a mid level hotel.
>>135863230
i decided to get a part-time job because of Working!! if that counts
buyfaggotry counts, right?
>>135867054
Was it at all like you imagined?
>>135866986
Someone here admitted a short while ago that he chose physics/engineering degree because he watched fucking VRO out of anything else.
Yes. I learned Japanese, Shogi, Go, sign language, cooking, and I became an artist.
My job requires me to know Eng/Jap, I've played against tons of people in Shogiu/Go during my career, and I've also accommodated plenty for sign language. Cooking is a life skill and I've impressed plenty of people just following a fucking cookbook. I make money on the side drawing people's fetishes.
There is no better feeling than meeting a deaf person and signing to them. I've had more than 1 start crying.
>>135867103
I don't understand how you can do that. I take fucking days of worrying to make any decision.
>>135866729
>That handwriting
Fuck, much better than mine
Good thing it's the digital age I guess

>>135867171
I don't like to talk about that anon.
>>135867240
It's a good feeling. I want to pick up other things but I'm already stretched thin. I get to visit Japan often simply for business meetings. I get to interact and talk to people who don't get to talk to people usually.
>Going to a middle school and signing for the little girls and boys who never get to actually talk to people
I can't even describe the joy I feel in doing this.
>>135867373Adderall
>>135867434
Depends what you mean. It took me a year to be able to fully understand what the fuck people were saying, but that was constant studying.
>>135863921
I've only been NEET for a few months now, but it happened because I realized that I spent every moment at college wondering why anyone gets out of bed in the morning, when killing themselves would be far easier. It's important to find something in life that evens out all the shitty parts, but finding that can be really hard I guess.
>>135867352
I'm sure it's better than mine
for the last years of school I wasn't allowed to write anything down because no one could read it. Ihad to grab a laptop before every lesson
shit was embarrasing especially considering it had been doing 3 hours of handwriting lessons per week every week for the previous 6 or so ywars
>>135867352
I gave up on that
I now use it only for 3D modeling
>>135867478
still better than mine
>>135867478
>you will never shitpost in space
What an awful feeling.
>>135867415
Why do mods allow some threads to autosage instead of outright deleting them anyway?

>Mods autosaging thread
Let me talk about my worthless hobbies I picked up from anime you faggots.
>>135867547
They're somewhat related but the mod deems it off topic.
Basically what /trash/ was supposed to be for.
>>135867483
>going on the internet just to tell lies
Why would you do this?
>>135867517
Just write slower. Even children can write legibly enough to comprehend by age 8.
back when I was into anime and video games I already knew my fate that I'll be stuck in the screen even as I get older.
So I opened up a net cafe. I'm pretty much living the dream right now.
Tell me something worthy to learn, /a/
>>135867649
Love.
>>135867649
How to please me.
>>135867594
Thread is dying anon. What am I lying about? I work in IT, I interact with lots of Japanese companies for my own company in Murrika. I usually only stay in Japan for 1-3 days but it adds up when I have to do it all the fucking time for work.
I also sign for middle school/high school assemblies. Sometimes I get to do government stuff(consul meetings) but it's not easy to get in to.
Unless you mean learning the Jap language. I know people in real life who speak/write it.
>>135867649
Another language. Doesn't even have to be Japanese.

>>135867634
>you will never open up a cozy cafe with your short haired flat chested waifu
>>135867649
The ability to relate to other human beings and form meaningful relationships with them.
>>135867751
How do you learn this?
>>135867649
The pleasure of being cummed inside
>>135867751
He something worth learning you fucking faggot
>>135867649

>>135867768

>>135867649
Learn to do things for the right reasons, power of loving what you do of course.
>>135867833
How do you talk to people though? And I don't mean stuff like "nice weather we're having".
>>135867649
Hunting... failing that, I suggest learning how to make things in a smithy.
Had fun just getting rail spikes, heating them up and them smashing them with a hammer into weird shapes. You can make neato knives if you take the time to shape them
>>135867692
Stop making me depressed you fucking asshole. Do you always go on /a/ to brag about how good your life is?
>>135867607
I was writing pretty slowly. it's just something like my hand and my brain are having trouble sending information to eachother. no matter how slowly and carefully I write it always looks pretty bad
there's some fancy term for it but I've got so many non-life threatening conditions that I just don't bother remembering the names of most of them

You learn what works and what doesn't through talking to people.
>>135867917
No. My life took over a decade to make ''good' and I lived at home till I was 25. You think it was just handed to me? I had to work for it.

Same way you do on /a/.
>>135868017
>Who's your waifu?
>>135868017
Somehow I get the idea insulting someone's taste in something I haven't watched, calling them a faggot, and then pulling up a reaction image on my phone to show them wouldn't get me many acquaintances.
>>135868012
That sounds like an enormous waste of time and money.
>>135868043
>I WANT DICK
Sure thing senpai
>>135868062
Of course not, you can't just show them the image you have to do the reaction image face yourself
>>135868062
I want someone to do this to me. It'd be an experience I could never forget.
>>135868062
It actually does as long as you're a likable person. I call people retarded and shit at work all the time but it's because I help them do what needs to be done or what they need help with. In turn, once I call them a raging faggot and they suck at life, they think I'm joking.
>>135868073

Nope. Unless you're 100% detached and completely depraved already. Even if you think you are, you probably aren't.
