“I was younger then, I wasn’t afraid of anything, I didn’t think about dying for a second. I thought I was invincible. Then I met some girl. I wanted to live, I started to think like that; for the first time I was afraid of death. I had never felt like that before.” - Spike Spiegel
I'm the most Legoshi guy you're ever going to meet. Beastars is one of the few times I actually got this representation thing Some people seem to think I get all the time.
I could never date someone like you because im a colossal Gamer, and ill always chose the games over you 1000%
What's your ff14 user name?
For me it depends on the type of anime. If the guy watches mainly or exclusively hentai or heavy ecchi, that’s a hard pass 😅 for one, I’m ace, additionally most of the guys I knew that had that as their favorite type of anime, don’t understand boundaries and are incredibly creepy and misogynistic. We’re just irl jiggle physics to them, nothing more. I know not everyone who watches hentai is like this, but I’m so tired of men trying to recreate their favorite nosebleed material instead of treating others with respect and minimal decency.
I don't understand watching hentai outside of wanting to take care of business. Sometimes when the mood strikes you watch it but it's not like they have a very good plot that's worth watching. There's far more interesting and worthwhile anime to watch that isn't hentai. Sounds exhausting to be constantly turned on and watching hentai, lol.
Yes same. I can't stand ecchi or hentai.
You spoke directly to my lady this entire video LOL... She kept yelling 'PREACH' from across the house haha.
I found that, in my younger years, I would TRY to pine after guys that liked anime but I could never form genuine connections with them. There definitely was that “weird” stigma coming to life with some of them; some seemed clingy/trying too hard to keep me because they too fantasized about dating a girl who liked anime. So, for now, I’ll just stay single and remain friends with my regular anime-watching pals.
For sure, the spectrum of weird always exists in all fandoms, and hell, even religions haha. Hoping to find the same kind of nerd energy, for sure have dated many of the "wrong" nerd energy.
I think this goes along with the levels pretty well, when you go into a bubble you have to realize the subcategories and not just assume ie everybody who listens to Linkin Park is good based off of that musical choice,
I mean you're 99.99999% right though.
🙄
@@NebulaSon Woah! Thanks for making this comment pop up in my notifs! Update… I finally found a guy who likes anime and is NOT weird. He’s great. :)
About the "gamer boyfriend": my boyfriend loves gaming. And I genuenly have no problem with it. But there are times it gets in the way. We are long distance, and saw eachother the first time after 10 months. I travelled to him, and he was working the whole day and at the end of the day I judt wanted us to spend time together. Whereas he wanted to game to unwind. And no, we can't spend time together while hes gaming. He cant communicate normaly, has to concentrate, is getting upset at the game... And when you're seeing your person for only a short amount of time... Gaming can get in the way od your happiness
I relate to this so much, hope you guys find ways to get both of your needs met 🙏🏻
Literally had the exact same issue. Well he made time to do things with me when we visited. But since moving in together, it’s basically the same experience you have. Is your bf like a hermit? And I don’t mean just introverted, bc I’m an introverted home-body but i do like planning properly to go places and I like spending time with people I care about.
But if he’s literally a hermit, like doesn’t go out of his way to do anything with anyone, then I think that sucks because then how do you get a chance to do anything with him? My now husband had this issue, and he’s finally opening up more and getting more motivated but it still gets in the way when we make plans. Then when he does actually want to do something it’s super spontaneous which I also hate. I’m the type of person that hates not following through with plans!! I’m maintaining faith in him because I know he’s a smart guy and again he’s getting better but yeah this is definitely something you should think about. It can get in the way of a lot of things.
But honestly from the sounds of it if your bf is not like a super pot head or alcoholic, and he’s at least working etc he is obviously somewhat driven. I think he just needs to learn how to open up and shift that focus. It’s hard when the day is only so short and you want to do what you wanna do, but sometimes you gotta let that go for the person you love.
@@brianah.8409 Oh yeah he is super driven and has a vision where he wants to be in 5-10 years. And he spends time with me and wants to take me places and do fun stuff. Don't get me wrong, he isn't that introverted or addicted to Video games. For me its just those times when we don't have much time (for example I was visiting him for 20 days) to be actually together cuz out of 7 days he works for 5 days and in the evening has either football practise, goes to the gym or works at the gym or something everything combined. I do understand that after all of that stress and exaustion he needs to unwind and not think about anything. It's just hard to watch him play games and give you no attention eventhough you haven't spent any time together that day. And the tip of the ice berg is that you have apsolutely nothing to do in that hour or two because you've already done everything that day 🙄 but we have communicated about this and he tries to be better about it and I try to be more understanding. I mean, when a relationship gets more serius, you seek out ways to improve it, not to break it up :)
As someone who used to game somewhat heavily, I had no choice but to put gaming last on my priorities list. I try to make sure everything and everyone is cool before I mentally check out for a session. It took me a while to get to that point though. But no other compromise really worked. I'd say I do it successfully 90-95% of the time. The reprioritizing came in handy especially after my wife and I had a kid. Frankly I wouldn't have had a choice anyway lol. It still sometimes gets in the way. But nowhere near as bad as it used to.
A lot of times I check off everything off my "list", sit down for a session, look at the time, and am genuinely too tired to even play. Or have to dig into my sleep time. Or mostly, I end up having to play for like an hour or two at the end of the day.
Either way. Keep talking to your guy openly about this. Don't sweep it under the rug, and if you feel neglected don't let it slide. He needs to know. Seek to understand and be understood. Like the other reply said when you move in together, it will only highlight how much he REALLY plays and other challenges will arise because of it.
If you love him, you'll be happy that he's doing something that he loves.
I think drawing any hard lines is tricky and you should always know what is behind it. Someone may not watch anamai because they have no exposure or assumed it was just for kids. I think it's more about finding someone that is open to it and won't block or ask you to surpress that thing which obviously gives you lots of joy. For me my "hard lines" were more about how people thought, not what they thought and how people drew conclusions I couldn't never entertwine myself with someone that didn't use evidence and experience to base their decisions on.
Yona Of The Dawn only having one season genuinely is soul crushing to me.
It kills me!😭
"My imagination is weirder than any anime I've seen"
Whoa...I am both scared and intrigued 👀
I always said I couldn't date a woman who wasn't into anime and gaming. She wouldn't have to be a hardcore 16hour a day gamer, but it's like you said. It's an bonding opportunity and I like gaming and watching anime darn near equally so I can't imagine having a healthy relationship with a woman who wasn't into anime and at least some gaming because that would just lead to built up resentment overtime in one or both of us.
Also, another reason why a girl who says they don't like anime is a major turnoff/red flag for me is....it's a glimpse into their mindset/world view. I'm of the mind that someone who's vehemently against anime like some of the girls in the clips you showed, it shows they're closed minded and aren't willing to be open to try new things. There's anime out there for everyone. It's just a medium to tell a story. Everyone likes some type of story and there is for sure an anime out there that will cater to someone..it's just a matter of finding it. So for someone to be so against it just because it's animated to me just tells me we wouldn't vibe well at all because i can't be with a closed minded fool.
Smart way to look at it👍
If you guys haven't checked it out yet "Invincible" is a pretty good series
That final outro pic legit cracked me up 😭
I loved the filters at the end!! Haha. Definitely agree with the sentiment that your kids should have diverse taste in media. It impacts the way we see the world so heavily! And if your partner doesn't like the same media as you it can point to possibly being too different from one another to have a strong cohesive relationship.
I feel like… 75% of dudes in our nation watch anime 😂 like I am inclined to not believe a man who says they don’t watch it. There is a stigma to it so men are not just openly discussing it with women. So I’m not surprised these women on the street are in the dark that they be watching 👀
I once went on a date with a guy who said he didn’t like Lord of the Rings, and I was like ok, we can watch it and I can show you the magic, and then he said “no I’ve seen it I think it’s boring”
I broke up with him the next day. Politely. I was in my junior year of high school at the time. It was just one of those things where I knew there was nothing long term for me, in a relationship with a person who finds the world and story that is so near and dear to me, boring. Like clearly we are two incompatible humans.
If they don't wanna watch Lord Of The Rings every winter, I'm not even sure how it would work😅
Honestly im an anime nerd, but my girl doesn't have to like watching it too. She just needs to able to live with me watching it. Making that criteria for someone is just something that i don't see as important to a sustainable relationship. My grandpa didn't watch all the same tv shows as my grandma and they were together until they passed. It's not gonna be something that i use to raise my kids with because at a young age they won't be able to see it beyond surface level. I felt when you were talking about anime, you did too much of viewing it from a more intellectual adult's perspective. I doubt a child would catch the philosophical undertones of a hunterxhunter even if i explained it to them. But some children are different and there's no guarantees.
Agree with everything here. I will say however, there's something about rewatching an anime you liked as a kid but through an adults eyes. That experience is almost mind blowing.
The Rock Lee storyline is amazing storyline of the beauty of perseverance and overcoming personal limitations and adversity! It also inspired one of the UFC champions and badass Israel Adesanya
boys who like anime are the best. my boyfriend & i started watching Dragon Ball when we first started out, and now we’re on our third watch thru of Black Clover. boys who like anime will treat you riiiiiiiight
honestly i cant think of tv shows or movies that taught me much growing up and i never even knew about anime, but we used to watch this yearly show called something like farmer searches wife (its dutch - we are dutch haha). Its kind of like the bachelor for farmers and the presenter is this woman shes really good at facilitating the whole thing. Its all just so down to earth and wholesome. But i dont know for how long its still gonna be on the air
My boyfriend watches some animes, and I'm not gonna lie, in the beginning I was like:...okay...
Because there kind of a stigma around it, but I accepted it and then he actually got me to watch attack on titan with him, and I loved it. Now we have watched a lot of movies and I'm in no way obsessed with anime, but I love to watch it sometimes, it is such a nice break from western storytelling and makes the viewing experience so much more enjoyable
I feel like a “I’m not like other girls” kinda gal after watching those girls say they wouldn’t date a guy who watches anime, because just like you Brittany, I would love to show my future kids all my favorite (appropriate😂) anime favs and let them learn the lessons those animes taught me. My partner definitely has to love anime as much as I do, otherwise, we likely won’t connect as much as I would prefer. And they would probably be annoyed with how much I talk about anime and cartoons after awhile 😂
Care to elaborate on those (inappropriate) anime titles? I'm asking for a friend...
I need to know what they are too so I can avoid them at all costs.
You don't need a partner that also watches anime but you do need one that respects your hobbies and the willingness to learn about it.
@@CapnKrunk123 Yeah, update, I’m dating someone that currently doesn’t watch anime but used to. They know and love that I watch it. You’re completely right, just be with someone who respects your interests!
That's called preference management and it's a major factor for a successful relationship!
my eyes are teary. this spoke to me more than anything ever in this website. i love you. ;_;
Would you ever consider doing a video about Attack on Titan? Like you said I think it's really morally interesting and I'd love to see you talk about it, especially about Eren's character and the ending (although it's only out in the manga so far, not the show).
Bro it's like the more I watch her the more I like her
Literally bought my bf Naruto to pjs like 1 month into the relationship so we could vibe out and have anime pj parties💕 I 100% feel you on needing this.
Depends on the type of guy who likes anime.. there is a specific kind of guy who often comes with anime for whatever reason who is kind of a stereotypical softboi incel. But two guys who I have dated watched anime and both hid it from me for a while because of the stigma, but we ended up watching it together because I like anime. Plenty of guys are totally chill and cool who watch it but yeah a lot of the times it attracts guys who like hypersexualising women in a creepy infantilising way because they maybe haven't had very much luck with real women and this feels like a safe way to channel their desires I don't know it's just oooof
I couldn't date someone who didn't have at least 2 of these 4 things in common with me: anime, gaming, Japanese music, or weed.
Nice list👍
couldn’t be with my husband without him also being bi or having that “queer energy” like you stated before. Specifically watching though? Definitely got to have an appreciation for animations in general. I was a disney kid and still love all those movies, and I intend for my kids to see my faves, too. anime is also a plus though :)
Not liking camping and hiking is a hard no.
Well, I'm a child of the last pre-anime generation, and Harry Potter broke through into the mainstream when I had just come of age and was thus not interested in "childrens' stuff" at all.
There sure do exist cultural must-haves for my future love but obviously not the ones you have mentioned, mainly because of timing, I guess. Thanks for the thought-provoking video.
Who needs Netflix and chill when you can Crunchyroll and childrear!!
It's really cool to hear a compelling argument defining/defending a particular aspect of dating. Seriously looking for a life partner through this lens(vicariously through you) is nice to see, as I don't see many examples online and irl. Ganbate Brittany-chan!!
This video will blow up in a few months and your comments will be full of weebs SALIVATING and offering to wear a vegeta face mask for you
🤣🤣🤣 As long as they're 30 or older, I'm down! The issue is that guys who are 22 ish keep hitting on me😭
I *love* that your family to watch anime together! My sister and I share a deep love of anime, however she's recently omitted many good series due to a deeper adherence to Christianity. I try not to judge (we were all raised in the faith) but when she wouldn't watch Fruits Baskets because of the astrological element, I knew she was a lost cause (partial jokes) 😅.
However, I agree that it's almost a prerequisite, (or at least a desired preference) in a potential partner. To me, it implies they have the capacity to break the status quo of mainstream expectations (ie indoctrinated dogmas).
Most anime watchers (in my opinion) develop deeper insights into human behaviour and niche / historic concepts, as told through some of (arguably) the most philosophical, entertaining and visually stunning stories being told today.
Also, I see you and your sneaky ode to Legoshi and I am totally on your side #BringOnTheBeast 😂.
I like anime myself… but for example something I don’t like is horror. Particularly the torture P brand of it. If my partner was a big fan of that I might struggle initially, but at the end of the day I would go through the minor discomfort it gives me for a chance at connecting to them through that medium. maybe they like the visual effects makeup/ cgi/ social commentary aspect. If I like them then chances are I will understand and be intrigued by their take on an art form that may be considered undesirable/ stigmatized in some circles. So long as someone isn’t doing any hobby/ past time so frequently and compulsively that it consumes every second of their free time and i never receive full attention
Personally, I don’t believe that people can avoid anime’s embrace. It’s full of so many genres, and I think the people who refuse to watch it probably just don’t realize that.
I don’t watch anime. But it’s not like I won’t watch anime. It’s just never come up. I don’t think I’ve dated a guy who watches it. And I’ve never dated a real “gamer” either. But, I’d be down if someone said “You’ve GOT to watch this”. My nephews are into Attack on Titans. I don’t know what it’s about. Maybe I should know. 😆
@@auroraborealis13579 like Charity said saying "I don't watch anime" is like saying "I don't watch movies". There's so many different genres that most people who don't watch probably just haven't found their niche.
Some anime are rom coms. Some are action. Some are about sports (one of favorite ones is about boxing and there's one about volleyball I'm also partial to). Some are thrillers. Some are real tear jerkers. Some are horror. Etc.... Some are a combination of many genres.
Whatever genre you like in your movies/tv shows, you would likely enjoy in anime. I think lol.
@@viceanterra3 well, I should add, I’m not a huge fan of movies. There are great ones. Obviously. But, it’s not a priority.
@@auroraborealis13579 gotcha.
Brittany I think you’d really like ping pong the animation. Hope you give it a shot
this one got me thinking about the kind of anime I want to show to my future kids too! I think for me the top of my list are Ghibli movies and Pokemon movies. Media about inner power, friendship, family, love of animals/nature, interconnectivity. I sometimes imagine myself having conversations with them, I think I would want to foster critical thinking so I would ask Q's like what was your favorite part? what did the main character learn? who was your favorite?
I think it would also be a good way to learn about them and what they see in themselves. I think the fictional characters we like say a bit about ourselves and who we identify as
I was that guy that detested people that watched anime and anime in general. That is until recently, I was convinced by one of my friends to watch "Attack on Titan." It'd be an understatement to say that it has since consumed my life. Every free moment in the day I have, I'm watching anime and catching up. I've been kicking myself that I didn't watch these stories earlier in my youth. Also, as an artist trying to get into the animation industry these are products that I needed to watch. So far I watched AoT, many Ghibli films, Death Note, Demon Slayer, Cowboy Bebop, Jujutsu Kaisen, and currently watching My Hero. Been a great journey so far, and can't wait to continue.
you should defs do naruto (tbh takes a while to REALLy get into it but once you do it is unturnoffable and totally life consuming)
@@Pearlpiy oh yeah, I definitely plan on watching it, just after I finish a good chunk of shorter series. I’m saving the really long ones for later
I don't watch a lot of anime anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't love it anymore! I just don't pay for any streaming services lol so I'd like to be with someone who also likes anime, but preferably someone who who would want to watch it all together 💚
I watched Naruto to have an excuse to talk to this bartender I had a crush on at 26yo. I watched other anime before, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note etc etc but I watched Naruto specifically for a man 😂
😂😂😂😂LOVE!
@@BrittanySimon lol hey it worked!
I will never stop feeling grateful for what anime series have taught me throughout my life. And I wish to date someone with the same passion for anime, or at least be willing to try it out with me.
If I may be so bold, may I recommend two of my absolute favorite ones? And if you've already seen Hunter x Hunter or Mob Psycho 100, I'd love to hear your thoughts on them!
I feel like someone would have to at least be open to anime. I don’t watch a lot, but I don’t want to be teased or mocked about what I do watch. If it’s not your thing just let me consume it in peace.
So fma brotherhood ? My place ? Barbacoa tacos?
GIRL. I like ya curls. They rock and I’m here for it. Now to watch the video.
Thank you!!!! 🥰
Funny I don't have a problem with people who don't watch anime . However the issue arises when they start the criticism it just shows how narrow minded people can be.
I always said to myself if i find a girl that likes anime its a match made in heaven for me lol
My gf and I started dating when we met we argued about naruto and one piece so much so. That we binged watch all ep of both anime. And we didn't even realized we are spending time with each other so much. We almost looked like we are live in partners. She calls me Luffy I call her boa.
I watched Naruto for the first time in the summer holidays (all 720 episodes). Obsessed. Haven't stopped watching anime since. You neeeeeeeed to watch demon slayers if you haven't already.
I'm on episode 14 or around there 🥰
@@BrittanySimon biiiiiitch its so good AND you MUST watch the movie Mugen train.. Season 2 coming October so u made good timing
@@BrittanySimon umm video request for your favourtie anime series !! Always in need of anime suggestions
Iam a DBZ fanatic and I would love to have someone to be into it too... 🥺
Cool DBZ is great
I totally feel the same way about my partner watching anime. If a person that I'm interested in were to tell me that they don't enjoy anime, it would be a genuine turn off. Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one. Luckily I've never been in that situation.
I'd date an Anime lover, just as long as she hasn't spent a fortune on every version of every *Black Butler figurine. If I did ? A joint bank account would be out of the question. lol
For sure! My house isn't filled with anime things, but mugs, yeah I buy too many of those 😂
My current partner is the first big lover of anime I've been with and I will never go back.
I think a lot of people put anime in a box because most people think of the shonen genee vs the medium of anime. Cause I can say for certainty you'll have vastly different experiences with masashi kishimotos naruto than you will junji itos uzumaki. I think a lot of people havent looked for shows in their genre of interest
I've had relationships in the past where my SO hated anime and would actually leave the room if I was watching it. I have loved anime since I was a child and I feel the same as you now that I'm older. If he isn't into anime he ain't the one for me
Would being with a guy who doesn't watch anime somehow stop you from showing it to your kids? I could see if he was actively trying to get in the way of it, but if he isn't and simply doesn't watch it, then why would it matter?
My girlfriend got me to watch kill la kill, we finished it together in like two days. I think I have found the one for me
I’ve never watched anime but you have convinced me to try it out!
Yess!! There are so many kinds! Do many themes. So many different animations. The right one will capture your attention. Don't be worried if it takes a second to find one that speaks to you
My oldest sister got me interested in anime when I was younger. We are 20 yrs apart so she showed me the anime she grew up watching, and newer stuff too. My cousin loves manga, and got me into shoujo manga. My super conservative Christian mom, saw I liked manga, knew nothing about it, and would buy me vampire shoujo manga. if she read the stuff she bought me she would have a heart attack lol so anime has always been a thing I loved. I've dated guys who hated anime, but would put up with it, because I liked it
Also I definitely couldn’t be with someone who can’t listen to me ramble about true crime and bizarre people, my bf knows about Chris Chan, Trisha Paytas , and several true crime cases and is happy to hear my updates on all of it.
Where does everyone watch anime? I wana start but don’t know where to find it!
Hulu, Netflix, funimation, crunchyrole.
I didn’t expect that outro, it was really funny!
And for me, I’m not sure what I want from a partner yet, and I know I don’t want to have kids.
What I do know for sure is that I wouldn’t be able to date someone who doesn’t like to do physical activities and explore.
Currently, I can forgive not liking movies such as Swiss Army Man (not anime, tho), or even Your Name (I can understand, because of its pacing).
Now, if she doesn’t like A Silent Voice, someone’s gonna have to catch these hands 🥊🥊
You ask what art and culture I would enjoy sharing with a partner or raising my children on.
I think back to what I was raised on and it doesn't exist any more. I can't share it with a child growing up today. It's not so much the content as the way it was accessed and I think that shaped my experience more then what we saw.
First there was so much less of it. For me it was Saturday morning cartoons. Which don't exist any more. "Animi" took the form of Star Blazers, G Force. And then we got cable and there was a series of three animated movies released mostly involving giant robots. Gaiking was the first. Then Danguard Ace. Then Star Zingers. I think they were taken from foreign tv shows but here they showed up as short movies. It was only much later that we got robotech. There was just so much less of it. Now you ask what animi do you watch. Then there was only one. Every one watched it. It was a shared experience by all.
Also it had more meaning. Programs played once. That was it. If you missed it it was gone. Maybe they would replay it over the summer during rerun season. So getting up at 6:30 in the morning to watch Robotech was a big thing. One episode then you would have to wait till the next day or next week to see what happened next.
So it's weird. Everything today is by any standard far better then in my child hood. But at the same time something has ben lost. And I can't share that same experience that I had with some one today. Looking back I can see that I was shaped by it. I look at young people today and I can see the differences in them. It's part of that generational divide that happens every few decades as the world changes.
My wife doesn't watch anime but it doesn't exactly affect our relationship. I've tried getting her to watch but she's just not into it lol. I fully intend on raising our daughter with anime and gaming as options for hobbies though.
I HEAVILY recommend any anime fan watch Dororo. It's not for the faint of heart. But my goodness. It's so good.
I'd especially live to hear your impressions of it.
I'm Halfway through it and it's easily my top 10.
I don't know that one, I'll put it on my list!
@@BrittanySimon hell yeah.
Also check out Bonsai-Pop on here. They probably have the best anime video essays in the RUclips space. They spoiler warn to avoid major spoilers. They actually put me on Dororo.
I would, I did, but with restrictions. My former partner used to watch mainly ecchi harem Anime and would glorify them to a point where he lost a bit of touch with reality. That's just too much, but not the fault of the Anime :) otherwise it's definately a plus point, because the storytelling in Anime is often so much deeper than most of what we comsume in mainstream media.
I mean it's not a requirement for me. If it comes up I'll mention the naruto franchise but outside of that it doesn't matter. Looking for other things.
I love anime and my gfs have almost all thought it was dumb. But I don’t care because I don’t want a partner who thinks like me and likes all the same things I like. To me values are way more important when it comes to children. Are you sex positive or negative? Are you religious? Are you for or against corporal punishment? These things matter because well rounded people have parents with different interests. They understand more things. Also I am a guy and most guys can’t afford to be as picky as women can be.
Angel Beats is the Shit
I don't watch anime anymore, but I'd love to date someone who's into anime! Cuddles, pjs, and anime. Sounds lovely.
I'm personally not going to have children and I'm not even sure I'll get married because I'm very much on the fence (considering I'm only in my twenties) but if I do get married, I think he at least has to like anime and we have to be into the same kind of music (country's a huge turn off for me).
Haha briny watch anime but I’ve never felt any stigma towards people who do hah I would totally date someone who watches it and be super happy if they wanted to like show me their faves and stuff. Would I get into it? Maybe. But I love sharing my movies and favourite shows with people so I’d love it if someone wanted to share that with me too. That said, I do want to start watching it more on my own.
For me they must be a gamer :p
ya if you watch anime and your partner isnt into it, thatll mean another missed opportunity of spending and getting to know eachother especially down the line when you live together, of course youll have your own shows that youll like and your partnet wont be into but most of the time at the end of the day who wouldnt want to sit back and enjoy watching somethign together
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one that Missed Naruto, I honestly thought as a kid it was too soft looking whatever that means, your Rock Lee quote made me look up the life of Rock Lee oh I'm watching this s*** had no idea how deep the story is and it's not soft at all grown men killing kids lol
Totally agree with you. My husband and I have watched anime with our kids since they were toddlers. They love it! we started with Pokemon, Ghibli Studio movies... and now we've watched sooo many together. My daughter's favorite is Full Metal Alchemist (amazing, totally recommend if you haven't watched it yet, very philosophical, I think you'll like it). It's honestly such a joy to share these stories with them. Like you, we also grew up watching sailor moon, dragon ball, pokemon... all of the classic late 90's anime
When me and my bf found out our go to was the same hentai I knew it was meant to be
I don't think I could date someone who didn't beand ruels and laws. I feel like opportunities are so limited if you need to follow rules and laws strictly. I wouldn't be able to do a lot of things with them, like it is the case with some og my friends.
Light novel audio books.
Please make a video with the Pain Arc when you get there
I definitely can only be in a relationship with somebody who appreciates theater. I have met so many people who just have such a disdain for theater (especially musical.) If they don't like theater, I know the relationship wouldn't work. I sing show tunes all the time, (subconsciously and not), I listen to it all the time, I really enjoy going to the theater, I write plays, and on and on the list goes. I guess my person will have to also be a theater lover as well; as that is just so much to put up with.
Thank you for the question, it was a good reflection into my values!
Yes.
I watch anime. And I want my partner to at least accept it.
I'll start watching anime just for you
Yes anime & chill is the best 🤩
bro you gotta get thru Naruto & get caught up on Boruto…it’s goin DOWN RN
Looks like it's time to start watching Anime
Short and Sweet!
Ok, so having dated guys who watched anime (I mean a lot), I wouldn't at this point date them. Because as much as I totally adore anime for all the reasons you list and want to share anime with children growing up...men who watch anime generally speaking are not manly protectors or generally speaking good dudes to be a woman around. They tend to be insecure little bitches. And the perv style isn't fun and freaky, it's like either vanilla as hell or I imagine you as too pure for this world. And that's the ones who aren't one step off being into children.
I don't know how this happens because anime is filled to the brim with good role models. But it is my experience of male anime fans who are more than casual.
I'd say try to find a guy who is open minded to anime or just accept it is something you'll do with your children and maybe other stuff will be something you both share with your children.
Disney School Disney is great? I guess you are not as awake as I thought
Vampire knight 😭😭😭
I watch anime but my hubby doesn't. But that's probably because I made him watch one piece for 6 months straight none stop. Lol 🤷♀️
What is the most beautiful anime you’ve seen? I’d like to give it a shot.
My husband teases me for watching anime lol & I gently remind him we'd be vanilla af if I didn't lmao but I enjoy watching anime alone anyway so it works out. He does like ATLA which is important & it's so funny he loves One Punch Man now- I caught him listening to the op on his way to work 🤣
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVE ANIMES
You are in for a shock. Your kids will look at things totally different than you. My kids download their music, they don't buy CDs. They stream movies, not buy DVDs. They use a Kindle but don't buy books. Your kids will find their own pseudo morality tales. They will have no or little interest in yours.
I was raised with my parents music, shows and all things their generation and I still love those things.
I assume my kids will also have their own interests but my parents always wanted to know what I was into and they listened along with me. I'll do that with my kids and give them space when they want it.
My parents still do that. We are all on a family group chat and we are always sharing things we love.
My niece and nephews love the record players and they're 5 and younger 🥰
Maybe it's a cultural thing?
@@BrittanySimon I don't know. I think you are unusual. I come from a family of educators that was pretty involved with their kids.
I do think technology has a lot to do with it. There also are cultural issues for sure. Forest Gump made a lot of sense to me and my parents. We had Vietnam in common. But I couldn't explain Akira to them. But The Princess Bride made sense to all of us.
We created experiences for our kids. We camp every summer and have the last get together Labor Day weekend. We all love the MCU universe franchise, but we stopped the comics when they got too "woke," weird and didn't agree with our moral structure.
I guess it depends on how things balance out?
@@rickgrimes931 I think that sounds like a nice childhood. I think all kids leave the nest for a bit. I made peace with my political differences with my family because my parents and I are open with each other. We have strong boundaries and ultimately our family is everything to us.
I'm sure your kids will find new ways to bond as they get older. And I'm sure you will too ♡
Say less
