I'll never stop watching anime. For one thing, anime is my life - however i'm worried about the future. Once I get a job I really hope I can get free time by all means. Ever since I was a kid, I never liked any reality channels on tv. When I got into anime some long ago, it really amazed me. It amazed me by the artworks, graphics, plots, characters, settings, and many more. And as I continue further to take interest and learn more about the Japanese anime, I became more in love with it.

My first anime to watch was Naruto of course. I watched the english dub first, but then I didn't really liked it. I switched to Japanese version, and seriously, it was way better. Why? Because anime is based on Japanese culture. In my opinion, watching anime will never get too old for the ones who loves anime with all their hearts and put their own passion to it.

Now a days when I have my free time, I'm sitting down in my room watching anime and checking updates for new anime series to watch. There were a lot of good anime for every season.

Examples
- Fate Zero
- Amnesia
- Sankarea
- Accel World
- Kimi no Iru Machi
- [C] - Control: The Money of Soul and Possibility
- Steins; Gate
- Angel Beats!

The more I watch anime, the more i'll keep on loving anime forever. Enough said.

I, the Mad Scientist, Hououin Kyouma, ask you - Will You ever stop watching anime? Don't forget me and my show Steins; Gate! The World Will be Mine!!

Yea. For one thing I don't understand is that when people starts to like anime they tend to not watch anime anymore. For example, Yu-Gi-Oh, many people liked it and then moved on to Dragonball Z. Though they like another anime show, they think like ''I'm getting too old for anime'' even if there's gonna be new anime, people wouldn't watch it. I believe that if one loves enjoys anime a lot, they shouldn't stop watching it whatsoever. I watch anime a lot and I do enjoy what I'm watching.

For me it's not a matter of when, but more a matter I hope to never stop watching.
One can never predict what life will entail for them. We could forever find out comfort in anime, as such be content and at ease when watching. But as you get older, influences from a wider world, might cloud thoughts about anime, or leave you with just not enough time to get around to catching up with a certain amount of anime. As a result you might have a mindset of "since I can only watch half the anime I hope to, I might as well give it a break to give extra time towards "x" for now" etc etc.

I may be looking too deep into it, but I'm also trying to view this question realistically.
My hopes are to forever enjoy anime, but if that changes, I can't really help that.

When nothing good comes out anymore...

That, and I fear the day when the anime subculture evolves into something so alien to what I'm used to that I can no longer be part of it. You never know what people might get into in the future. I, for one, live and thrive in the Age of Moe. Cuteness and "HNNNNNGGG" runs deep in my black blood. The day that period of our world ends...well...I don't know.
