What's the other reason of watching anime than "fun"?

What's the other reason of watching anime than "fun"?

Deeper fun.

How deep?

Deeper than Love Live can ever be.

Masturbation, although I guess that's also pretty fun.

Watching for plot.

try to masturbate 10 times in a row

Not really.

To have fun arguing about them with anons

...

Fun is Fun. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degreee is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one fun and another… I’d rather not choose at all.

So you don't have fun doing that?

Painkiller for depression.

Are you in peace with yourself now that you have posted that shit?

Not much of a reason in itself but it's always a bonus when you find out about a new artist you like that did the OP/ED or when the OST is good. Gives you something new to listen to even after you've completed the show.

Anime is a form of entertainment, no matter which way you slice it you are doing it for fun. Unless your job is to translate subtitles or something.

You could watch it to try and learn some Japanese mannerisms and such if you are trying to learn Japanese. Or to try and get your entry level anime knowledge down for when you travel to the promised land. Maybe you are forcing yourself to watch it just so you can impress some 3d slut/guy who likes it.

Maybe you are an artist and use it for inspiration and technique development? I don't know man this is the vaguest thread ever. There is nothing not fun about watching anime. I have "fun" just laying in bed not being at work.

Seeing what my youth could have been like.

Why would you need any other reason?

Escapism.

What's the other reason of having any hobby than to have "fun"?
Fun is such a vague term I wish people would stop use to it to describe something.

>no matter which way you slice it you are doing it for fun
No, I do it to be entertained. It can be fun, scary or sad or any other feeling I'm getting out of the piece of entertainment. I sure as hell didn't have fun with Clannad for example.

...

It stops me from having to look at my own reflection in the screen.

What do you mean?

To fill that hollow feeling of loneliness lurking inside your heart.

It's a unique and versatile medium.

Fun things are fun

Boredom.

>3D slut

nice pleonasm, user

Having a slice of life is important for a nolife.

What's the point of watching films? What's the point of reading books? What's the point of playing vidya?

escapism

Literature is also for fun and that's considered intellectual so anime is also for intellectuals.

To get context for doujins.

For the lore of a different world and interesting characters that I can feel empathy for.
fun as well

Wasted so much time on it, cant stop now...

Lots of fun.

I think I should stop coming here and watching anime entirely. I've only watched one show per season for the past year, but I still come here out of habit everyday.

>Masturbation

Forgot. Anime and manga also perfecting fulfills my fetishes, where western porn falls flat. So I'll end up here regardless it seems.

Escapism?

Escapism. For about 24 minutes per episode, I can self-insert as a generic Japanese high school guy who's surrounded by cute girls and the occasional sexy teacher.

This is the one and only reason.

People usually do what they like to do, why someone would do something they don't like for other reason than being forced to it? Who's forcing you to watch anime?

To kill time or in my case kill the last 20 years
