I love how Kieran is doing a deep dive on why most anime watchers struggle in social situations while Anthpo just talking about wanting to beat a weeb up
As a Japanese person, listen to this man. The way I’ve been treated by anime watchers is no joke, and the fetishization of Asian people is rampant these days. “Please touch grass.” -Asian people
I mean, anime can be weird and embarrassing, sure, but it’s not all like that. Never sharing an interest out of embarrassment is only gonna make you feel alone in that interest. I think the overall meaning of this video is just to not be weird about liking anime or terminally online. Maybe people don’t share your interest, but other people will. Again, if you aren’t overly obsessive and creepy, liking anime is fine.
Don't have to hide it hide it, but avoid talking about it. unless the situation calls for it. NEVER bring it up yourself unless its for a joke or situation where you're absolutely confident your point will come across and you can also move on from the topic quickly.
If an anime watcher wishes to assimilate to the main society and none of these tips work, do what I did: watch so much anime to the point you burnout and the act of watching anything else is tiresome so you'd be forced to do other things. Like reading. Manga.
Anthony, I think the reason no one showed up to your AA meeting is that you put posters up around campus. Those really struggling aren't getting outside enough to see them.
We're at a turning point in anime culture where it's more popular than ever to watch anime, but it also means that there are even more people on social media with no boundaries and no shame that take it way too seriously and were probably asked to leave the Mile-High Club after it was discovered that they sucked _themself_ off in the airplane bathroom.
I could never have imagined that Kieran was struggling with this serious of a condition. It just proves that you can never judge someone by their appearance… hope they find a cure soon 🙏🙏😔😔😔
Thanks Anthpo on the advice. I am finishing my third Japanese class in college right now. Most weebs drop in the first two courses so the class now mainly consists of normal people.
Fr bruh 98% of people I ask why they want to visit Japan was because of ANIME Like there's nothing wrong about it but Japan is so much more than that Also You guys travels Japan should visit a place called Nikko sometimes, it has nice waterfalls :)
@@donkle9568 hmm even before I know anime the first thing about japan that came to mind (when I was a kid) was Mt Fuji, Shinkasen, their traditional dress and of course sushi
I think anime has blown up even more because anime was introduced to the americas in the 90s and most of those kids are now adults and have more influence in society to make it more mainstream.
I'm not even American but my mother grew up watching sailor moon, and and that time my country was in turmoil and as a student she participated in a revolution Obviously alot had changed now but I can imagine how anime has grown since then
this is similar to how i live as a closeted kpop stan. literally, i hang my posters in my closet. but i’ve had to learn how to slowly introduce it to my friends without overwhelming them and branch out into some jpop, cpop, and latin pop so i didn’t become some korean freak. i’ve also learned the hard way that what happens on stan twitter should stay on stan twitter…
I like kpop too but i still listen to American artists and latin artists partly because im Hispanic but also it goes crazy. What he said about enjoying things from other countries is true, cus now you just look like a person who likes to explore and not a weird obsessed person
I notice that when someone is new to a media they are at first hardcore admirers in the honeymoon phase which eventually end up becoming just an average or casual enjoyer. At the beginning they are devout and obsessed defenders of whatever it is they are at the "stan" level which cool down to just a fan and then someone who just acknowledges that someone has discovered what they have known for some amount of time.
Absolutely. I’m at a point in my life where I’ve watched about everything everyone at school talks about and read every manga that got adapted and then became mainstream but nobody knows cuz one I don’t just think about anime and stuff all the time and two no one else has seen as much as I have to have a proper conversation with other than who’s your fav character. Anime used to be so looked down upon and now suddenly it’s huge. Which is a good thing ig
I think the first problem with your Anime-Watchers Anonymous was putting up posters. No struggling anime-watcher is going to be outside, much less looking at posters for activities to go to.
You gotta be honest with yourself man. It's okay to be honest with other people about the things you like! Just don't let any one thing dictate your entire identity; diversify yourself as a person.
She definitely had One Piece as one of the three. There's no way she only watched three anime in the span of 5-6 years unless it included a long ass series.
It's a simple solution to watch anime and still be normal, really: If you're on TV - Turn off the TV If you're watching on desktop - Turn off the computer We don't let our people watch anime. Because why would we when they could watch the beautifully violent Squirrel & Hedgehog cartoon made in-house instead. And you're embracing your Italian heritage by learning Italian...proud of you
I have a friend that naruto ran in school, and she was known as the girl that naruto runs in school forever. Everytime someone says her name that's the first thing that clicks
One minute and 17 seconds in, and he’s described exactly how I am. The idea of buying a physical item, or even paying for anime is insane to me I would die before I bought a body pillow, let alone one with a picture on it, but at the same time, I love anime.
Not wanting a dakimakura (body pillow w/ the pic) is valid, but I'm not letting this body pillow slander slide. Have you ever put an extra pillow between your legs to help you sleep before? A body pillow is basically that but way better. I say this completely unironically, with how much a body pillow has helped me stay comfortable and actually fall asleep during the night, it's probably one of the best purchases I've ever made.
By far my favorite RUclipsr. Anthony is such a good guy and just knows how to have fun with his friends. I have been trying to be like him and have been trying to make the most of my time in school through that. You have amazing ideas! Love the vids
I've been teetering on the edge of *slightly* starting to like anime for a while and I am honestly very worried I'll trip one day and just flop right onto the right side of the board It's not terminal yet but it worsens by the day. Very useful video in case of the worst case scenario
As a socially distant, emotionally unavailable person i think it is a mystery how i did not fall under the Anime spell. Many of my friends watch it, even the cool and socially enept ones. I could have been that guy in your class, I got lucky, many did not.
As an anime watcher I have indeed been struggling with social situations and finding friends. Thank you for these tips. I will begin implementing them and see how i perform in society. Will come back with the results of my excursions soon.
I’ve stopped watching a lot of anime because of uni. Since I’m studying business, I’ve started my language learning journey, and as my third language I chose Japanese. On the first class, the teacher straight up said “y’all should watch anime” and now I’m watching the seasonal anime. (I was already gonna watch Spy x Family and Chainsaw man but those are mainstream asf. I had only planned to watch Hibike Euphonium and then end my journey as a weeb but here I am.
rule number 2 is SO IMPORTANT, i'm not joking, it's great to see how many incredible stories there are out there i wish people consumed more latin stuff too
the way some of these could apply to a lot of other media too which is kind of mentioned a few times, so i definitely felt that considering not only anime but my other interests too,, still i appreciate the advice sm wow thanks !
I can actually relate with “anime people will associate any Asian with anime.” Someone told me that I look like an anime character and their reason was cuz I’m Asian and I had dyed hair.
How to be normal: (gets stuck in traffic) (work at an office job; bored out of your mind) "Coming to bed, honey?" "Yes, dear" I'm just an anime watcher, the only one I've watched for a long time is Pokémon because from jelly doughnuts to Team Rocket's fourth wall breaks and Ash staying 10 forever...there's no denying that anime is special.
the thing i disagree with here is thinking that japanese animation being the only form of foreign media one consumes is weird. some people have a niche preference and thats cool. i also think that theres an exaggeration of how many "too far deep" people there are. i live in a pretty dense city, and im in some pretty nerdy circles. have yet to run into more than a small handful of people who were obsessive and obstructive about their interest, but they had other social issues as well, so it wasn't really animes fault. it's just another hobby/interest/genre, there isn't anything about it that would make obsessing over it any weirder than obsessing over a different hobby/interest/genre
I’m a Japanese major because I started watching anime but I think a big difference between being a weeaboo and being someone who’s interested in culture and language is educating yourself. I think it’s important to know about the culture you’re watching, and attempt to understand some of the aspects of daily life there. Doesn’t matter if it’s japanese or Australian, literally any culture you have an interest in, just fucking learn about it.
I personally have been watching anime for a little over a year and have watched over 36 anime, however I haven't watched anime in like 9 months because I've realized how cringe people who watch anime are (including myself). I've not really been directly judged for it but if you have watched at least a little anime you would know the shame/embarrassment that tags a long with it. And with that I would like to say I found this video inspiring and monumental and ground breaking, and I hope 10000 years in the future, the new generations learn and grow from this informative video. P.S cAn We gEt MutCh hiGhEr
I started with the DBZ Budokai games when I was 9ish years old, first anime I watched was Sword Art Online when I was 12. That was about 10 years ago (22 now), Weird to see how popular anime has become in mainstream media lol
Garnt has hit a number of anime watched to the point that he doesn't waste time on anime anymore unless he knows it's completed and that it's worth watching. I've been there.
10:42 this was way to weird to hear holy- *ahem* my name is naomi. pronounced, nay-oh-me. I have been struggling with anime addiction for 52 long years. from sailor moon all the way down to kakeguri. I am in pain. I am struggling. and to hear someone like me- someone I can resonate with- speaking their struggles, it filled me with courage. I thank you, fellow naomi. for showing me the ways of our kind.* *not all information legally accurate. truth not guaranteed.
This is a good video. Had fun watching it. Watched all 4 evangelion movies the other day. Also that ocelot is really cute and looking rather huggable. ty ahtpttthpho
I know an absolute legend of a man, who only talks about jojo, makes heinous amounts of jojo references, and yet has a girlfriend. He has done the impossible.
Kieran's take at 3:26 is so accurate though. For me it wasn't because of Avatar (because I'm basically a child born the same year season 1 was released). I had just heard many many many good things about a certain show and I watched it the whole way through, loved it, watched a similar show next, then started Jojo, got bored of it, then kinda stopped watching so much anime. In those few months I was definitely a weeb, but I like to think I've demoted back down to Casual Viewer. It's been a few months for me as the last one I watched was Attack on Titan, but only the one's on Netflix. I got so sad I stopped watching shows because I don't wanna see more bad stuff happen to the characters.
I'm just like Anthony and constantly say no to have watched any anime because I am really embarrassed and it's weird and I need to seem normal. I've really watched like 3.
Prepare for a paragraph, didn't meant to write this much: As someone who started watching anime when I was 9 (and turn 22 this month), way back when it was pretty much taboo to be an anime watcher, I assure you that the climate has become a lot warmer for the anime watcher community. Compared to the early 2010s and prior, anime can pretty much be considered popular now. A lot more people watch anime than you'd think, and not everyone who watches anime is cringe and looked down on. I used to keep the fact that I watched anime a secret as much as possible as well, but these days, I'm more than happy to tell anyone that I watch anime, and I never get bad reception for it. People these days understand. If you've only seen like 3, there is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed. I've seen like 300, so I reckon I have enough experience to be a spokesperson for the treatment of anime watchers (though I'm undeniably a huge weeaboo and have no problem admitting that). Honestly, as long as you can have conversations about things other than anime, don't wear cat ears out in public, and don't start throwing random Japanese words into your conversations, you're fine lol. THAT is cringe. Watching anime normally is just another hobby, otherwise. Please don't be embarrassed to enjoy something that's become so normal in this day and age.
I just noticed that the music at 8:38 is from Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood (maybe the original show too I haven’t watched that one). Noticing that I recognized music from an anime, I now realize that I have a problem and should listen to your advice.
I watch anime and I like to describe the animes I watch to my friend, they dont really understand it all but theyre supportive and try to follow along, and I do the same for their interests so I really appreciate people who can not judge based on interest/just listening to what other people like even if they dont understand
12:13 I love the contrast of what they're talking about and me being like: Hell yeah I recognize that soundtrack! (Kaguya-sama "Kamatoto" if anybody wants to know)
hope u all learned something.

“Please touch grass.” -Asian people

This guy gets it
Bro that's what happened to me.
And then when you burnout from manga, you are finally free and can move on to other things… Like manhwa/manhua
And then you go to light novels. Realise almost half of your collection is just light novels, and then get burned out on everything
That's what I did except I started reading manhwa/manhua's
this really helped me open my eyes to my anime issue, I am now ready to start the healing process and reassimilate into society
I am proud of you.
Son, im proud of you and its time for you teach you how to actually become..a JoJo
You are so brave
same tbh
Anthony,

I am struggling. and to hear someone like me- someone I can resonate with- speaking their struggles, it filled me with courage. I thank you, fellow naomi. for showing me the ways of our kind.*
*not all information legally accurate. truth not guaranteed.
This is a good video. Had fun watching it. Watched all 4 evangelion movies the other day. Also that ocelot is really cute and looking rather huggable. ty ahtpttthpho
Thank you Anthony, this has really helped me come to terms with the fact that anime isn’t real
I know an absolute legend of a man, who only talks about jojo, makes heinous amounts of jojo references, and yet has a girlfriend. He has done the impossible.
This was hilarious and so relatable. Thanks for the support Kieran😉
so this whole video is him taking about his solution that helped him overcome his past views and ideals. very helpful.
James straight up instantly became my favorite character in the Anthpo Cinematic Universe xD
im so glad someone is finally telling anime watchers how to be normal
FINALLY CALLED OUT FOR BEING A MADE IN ABYSS WATCHER
Same
😭😭😂😂 That makes three of us.
they come into my house, disrespect my pfp,
Bruh he then used Kevin’s music smh 😂
being a made in abyss watcher should get you put on a government list
Kieran's take at 3:26 is so accurate though. For me it wasn't because of Avatar (because I'm basically a child born the same year season 1 was released). I had just heard many many many good things about a certain show and I watched it the whole way through, loved it, watched a similar show next, then started Jojo, got bored of it, then kinda stopped watching so much anime. In those few months I was definitely a weeb, but I like to think I've demoted back down to Casual Viewer. It's been a few months for me as the last one I watched was Attack on Titan, but only the one's on Netflix. I got so sad I stopped watching shows because I don't wanna see more bad stuff happen to the characters.
I ain't read’in all dat
@@SteveHartford I appreciate the input.
I'm just like Anthony and constantly say no to have watched any anime because I am really embarrassed and it's weird and I need to seem normal. I've really watched like 3.
Prepare for a paragraph, didn't meant to write this much:
As someone who started watching anime when I was 9 (and turn 22 this month), way back when it was pretty much taboo to be an anime watcher, I assure you that the climate has become a lot warmer for the anime watcher community. Compared to the early 2010s and prior, anime can pretty much be considered popular now. A lot more people watch anime than you'd think, and not everyone who watches anime is cringe and looked down on. I used to keep the fact that I watched anime a secret as much as possible as well, but these days, I'm more than happy to tell anyone that I watch anime, and I never get bad reception for it. People these days understand. If you've only seen like 3, there is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed. I've seen like 300, so I reckon I have enough experience to be a spokesperson for the treatment of anime watchers (though I'm undeniably a huge weeaboo and have no problem admitting that). Honestly, as long as you can have conversations about things other than anime, don't wear cat ears out in public, and don't start throwing random Japanese words into your conversations, you're fine lol. THAT is cringe. Watching anime normally is just another hobby, otherwise. Please don't be embarrassed to enjoy something that's become so normal in this day and age.
Anthpo- asks how to stop watching anime
James- recommends anime
Task failed...
I just noticed that the music at 8:38 is from Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood (maybe the original show too I haven’t watched that one). Noticing that I recognized music from an anime, I now realize that I have a problem and should listen to your advice.
These tips are very helpful exept the 4th one everyone knows you should never express your tru self
これはとっても大切なものです。
アニメが私の人生に重荷を負った、この動画に本当にありがとうございました
さ、普通へなっています
あえあaええぇhえeehえあぁあaAaah, agh, god, ow.
Okay yeah I'm normal now, anyway yeah great video!
I watch a huge ton of anime, yet I am normal in society.
Just do the weird shit when no one is looking.
This the same guy who played in a volleyball tournament in Haikyuu uniforms
using this as a reverse guide so less people talk to me! thanks anthpo!
anthpo is korean, chinese AND white, simultaneously. what an awesome guy
I watch anime and I like to describe the animes I watch to my friend, they dont really understand it all but theyre supportive and try to follow along, and I do the same for their interests so I really appreciate people who can not judge based on interest/just listening to what other people like even if they dont understand
yoo i was already watching anthpo videos when i got the notif for this!!
12:13 I love the contrast of what they're talking about and me being like: Hell yeah I recognize that soundtrack!
(Kaguya-sama "Kamatoto" if anybody wants to know)
I would say the key is moderation. Anything in excess can ruin you.
My takeaway is Anthony met the anime zone and fumbled it
no but that ad transition was smooth as heck
James got some fire recommendations I gotta say
anthpo is the most normal anime watcher in ohio
These tips honestly work for any specific/dedicated content/media consumers
I love how even Kieran didn’t show up for AA.
I have been looking out for this soundtrack 11:16 for ever! What´s the name of it?
