Posted: 6/11/2006 2:55:41 PM | | Interested in Anime!!!!!! Hell yeah, that's a turn on. Just to a certain level though.I hope that the next intelligent person out there knows the difference between reality and fiction. And I absolutely do not agree that "cartoons" promote excessive violence towards women. Anime promotes excessive violence towards EVERYONE!!! Just kidding! Just like the Greeks had their gladiator fights, so we too, the modern anime lover love our violent and sometimes not so violent anime. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 3:41:10 PM | Well I spent some time with a nice woman who as very much into video games and anime, though unfortunately it did not work. She thought she could be partially intimate with both me and another person. Though at least she told me so before the relationship got too intimate. A sense of reality for the other person's feelings might not always be there. Though there are plenty of people who do play games and enjoy Anime who have more ability to sense another's feelings. Just happened this one led me to believe more was true than was until she finally told me what was true a month after we started seeing each other.
Oh well, live and learn. Hard to read a person's grasp on reality right away anyway. Meanwhile it has gotten me another chance to find someone more down to earth.
I like Anime and Video Games, but they are not my only form of entertainment. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 3:58:00 PM | hey everyone...
I'm a girl, and I love anime! (Well some of it...)
anime is just the name for japanese animated films, they are not all the same, for example, a film like "Spirited Away" is not "highly sexualized" or "extremely violent"...its just a great story...that being said, there is a lot of bad anime out there too. But even the really violent stuff is sometimes fun to watch, I mean, most people are aware that anime is just a creative medium...I mean, all you men out there, I'm sure you know that most women in real life are not going to have huge eyes, short skirts, and giant Bazooms! lol.
anyway, I remember the first anime I ever saw as a kid....Astro Boy!! How was that overly violent or sexual? Then I remember seeing Sailor Moon as a teenager and was blown away...I remember thinking, "What??? Cartoons can do this? Cool!"
anyway, thats my two cents! ciao | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 4:02:20 PM | | I think it is just another form of entertainment. I would just not want a woman that I was involved with to want to play it hours and hours on end. The key to life is moderation | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 5:17:25 PM | | Being a female gamer, I'm going to say OF COURSE it's a legit. form of entertainment! I LOVE video games, and no man is going to stand in my way if I want to blow someone's head off!! lol. But seriously, I hope my future significant other is one who enjoys a good game here and there! | |
|
| Anime & Video Games: Gain/Lose Points?
Posted: 6/11/2006 5:23:38 PM | As long as it's done in moderation, all is cool. When I was around 10 or 11, I could literally spend days playing video games, if my parents didn't put a limit on the time. Now, I just don't have the attention span for it to spend a half a day playing it, but I do know older people that can knock back a half a day at a time playing RPG's or whatever. I honestly don't know how they do it.
I often wondered if i've been written off by some women because I state "video games" under my interests, but I only play every now and then, an hour or two here and there.
One thing I cannot understand is the porn anime. People actually get off on this stuff? Wow. That is completely gross!! | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 6:28:16 PM | | Although most of the girls I date don't typically like either, I would find it an awesome thing if a girl I was interested liked either...especially video games. Being that my job is to basically play and sell them it would be like having a tagteam partner to do my work with me. LOL | |
|
| Anime & Video Games: Gain/Lose Points?
Posted: 6/11/2006 7:37:33 PM | Everything in moderation.
I myself enjoy video games and anime, probably more than most, and it would deff add points in a significant other, but I wouldn't allow it take time away from my relationship. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 7:38:03 PM | As a frequent insomniac, I usually have a good video game around. If I can't sleep, and am not competent enough to accomplish anything useful, I might as well have fun.
I have never brought up playing video games to a significant other. I was caught once, had a box or something that had been laying out. She didn't seem to care.
Honestly, if I known before hand that a girl would consider such a thing an immediate deal breaker, I would have thought a lot less of her. As my thoughts would have been "wow, you are breaking up with me over a silly hobby I have that keeps me sane when I can't sleep".
Actually, anything which someone considers an immediate deal breaker over any type of hobby like that, I can do without. Now if you are seeing a person OBSESSED with the hobby and that's a deal breaker, that I can understand. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 8:33:06 PM | | It isn't a deal breaker, but the interest had better be within the limits of moderation. Whether it be playing video games, watching television/movies, or whatever, act your age. I don't want to be the "mommy" setting an egg timer for your "allowed" number of hours at any activity, thank you. If you can't monitor yourself and make appropriate adult decisions regarding your time, then we are definitely not compatable. To me, it comes down to a difference between using an interest as relaxation time verses a priority in life. Playing a video game should never be a priority. | |

Posted: 6/12/2006 10:29:16 PM | I have not seen much anime before but I have seen a little bit of it. I would have no problems with a guy who likes anime.
Video games fall into the plus and minus category.
Minus: Plays them day and night to the detriment of having a job and other interests
PLUS: Would enjoy setting up a game room with all those fabulous old arcade classics--a game room in which we could entertain our friends--a MAJOR PLUS!! Loving the old classic games goes over VERY well with me! Enjoying a game or two after work is normal and enjoyable. I'll join you! | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 10:56:16 AM | I often wonder if people (Especially the Ladies) see video/computergames and Anime as a legitimate form of Entertainment?
Now I have a plus to responding too this Question as I am a part of a anime club and well my friends see it as a vary legitimate form of fun and and they enjoy. and in our coverstation and debates about new anime and games I find that between men and women the women like it probbly way more then the men.
So I'd yes, Anime and Video Games are vary legitimate form of Entertainment, becuase well how ells would the big company like Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, make billions of dollers every turn over same with the ADV, MadHoues, ToykoyPop.
Also, do you add or subtract points to the person if he/she does enjoy it?
Well dose it subtract form a person if he/she enjoys it that type of entertanment, apaslutly not, if anytihng I get along better with people that can also enjoy this type of entertanment. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 12:41:51 PM | | I think anime and video games are mostly lame. I used to like it but not anymore. As for women, it has nothing to do with them really. If a girl loves you she doesn't care but if I love a girl, I'm 100% into her and what she is about and nothing else really. I can't be distracted from the relationship or else I might miss something. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 1:25:20 PM | A man who is into video games and anime gains points with me.
Having something in common is part of it, but being a bit of a geek is hot!
It gets out of hand and a turn off when thats all he does or he'd rather play/watch then relax in other ways. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 1:25:55 PM | | Video games = serious bonus points to me. Why not? They're more fun than board games, and more interactive than movies. Anime... Meh. No real change, unless it's an unhealthy obsession like my sister has--totally screwed up in the head, on her laptop 24/7 watching the stuff, refuses to watch anything American... | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 1:34:50 PM | I think a lot of the women here are either unintentionally or ignorantly confusing anime and hentai. Both have the same type of animation traits but are completely different schools of film making. It's as different as films released by Warner Brothers and Vivid Entertainment.
I gave up my gaming days, it caused nothing but trouble for me. Mostly because I can't do anything half-assed as an interest. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 10:58:52 PM | | Many women see it as a negative, at least in my experience. I am a huge gamer myself, even got my ex into it. But I keep it to a minimum, it's not particularly something many people in general consider a proper adult activity, lol. But whatever. | |

Posted: 5/1/2009 12:14:05 AM | I like Hellsing anime. That's it. The rest....annoy the crap out of me. So watch them all you want but I won't be part of it.
Video games...as long as you have a life outside of the games, great. I can barely master E for everyone games (I do kick azz at Muppet Bingo, FYI) so don't expect me to play. I will, however, watch. | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 7:13:00 PM | | It's a huge bonus for me if my guy is into video games and anime with me. :crackles knuckles: we can play RPGS and watch anime together while cuddling ;) | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 8:45:22 PM | | As you can see, some dig it, and some don't. I just got older and got tired of it. That coupled with the fact that they don't make em like they used too. I can't even lay it down in Madden anymore, and hear me when I say, I WAS A BEAST! | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 9:59:42 PM | I will be going to Dragon*Con this year in Atlanta.
If I am still single by then, I am almost sure to walk away from that con with a decent gf.
Over 40, 000 people. Roughly 20,000 girls. Guessing 5,000 single girls of datable range.
All in 6 square blocks for a 4 day weekend.
The gods are good.
And 40+ sexy women wearing slave Leia metal bikinis is something that must be seen to be appreciated.
These days I will not date a girl unless she is a cosplayer, video gamer, artistic geek, super intellectual, martial artist, or somehow open minded to all things geeky.
Vanilla plain Jane women bore me.
Geeky girls ftw!! I love my introverted exhibitionist ladies! | |

It's already known that the average age of a gamer is 30 and that games make more money than box office films.
So what are your opinions on the subject, ladies and gentlemen?
I don't care either way..... part of a good relationship is accepting a person for who they are and that includes their interests even if the other person doesn't necessarily dig them. As long as there is some common ground somewhere, that's the main thing. I'm a huge disc golf addict... I play whenever I can and am almost annoying in how much I talk about it. LOL Do I expect my mate to be into it too? Nah... just tolerant of my going and playing. Thankfully my mate's been introduced to it and is just as addicted to it as I am.  WOOT!
I dated a guy who was into gaming and anime. He got me to watch some of it (anime) and some of it was actually pretty decent. I've never been into video games and probably never will (short of the Wii of course which ROCKS!!!) but I'm not going to care if my mate decides to play some video games. Hell as long as it's not interfering with our relationship or his work or sleep schedule, who cares???
Edit: Damn...I fell for an old thread..... | |
