    As an anime fan, just reading this should give you instant chest pain.

    As an anime fan, people will never truly understand the pains and struggles you face to find the perfect place to watch anime. But I get it. 

    Here���s everything that happens when you watch anime illegally.

    When it���s English-dubbed, even though it���s labelled ���English-subbed���

    You don���t know heartbreak until this nonsense happens to you. You���ll finally find the anime you���ve been looking for, it���s clear and you���ve passed through all the pop-up ads. Only for the theme song to finish playing, and the most Asian-looking face starts speaking the worst American accent. It���s to go and sleep. One day for the thief, innit?

    It somehow always chooses the worst scenes to hang

    We don���t talk enough about how anime disgraces us. If I had a dollar for every time I had to explain to someone that nothing weird was happening in whatever anime I was watching, it just stalled at an odd-looking scene, I would have enough to pay to watch anime legally. I need a support group, please. I���m sick of defending myself.

    The fake invites from milfs to ���come over���

    Sometimes, I wonder if people actually click those links. Like, ma���am, I���m a focused person, please. I came here to watch animated characters shout out their attacks so their opponents can win easily. I���m not here to find love. 

    Only finding the chibi version of the anime 

    One day, this will be my 13th reason. I can���t count how many of anime I saw when I first started watching anime. I have nothing against chibi anime oh, just give me the one I asked for first, and then, maybe I’ll come back for this version when I’m bored. I can never unsee the chibi version of Dazia from Bungo Stray Dogs trying to commit Suicide. 

    When you can���t find the anime is on the site because they didn’t use the English title

    Sometimes, I wonder if this anime obsession is worth all the suffering I go through to watch something that���ll probably break my heart. Who randomly knows how to spell Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! in a hurry? If you do, this is not a safe space for you, please. 

    The ���You can���t last 10 seconds in this game���

    Okay, but did I come to your site to play one yeye game? I came to watch anime, so why are you asking me to put my card details? Also, why do they think we won���t last? Do they know our capabilities? How do you come to that conclusion on a site where people watch hundreds of episodes of a show at a go? Mtceww, unserious people.

    When you finally find the anime, and there’s no subtitle

    It���s shit like this that makes most anime fans learn Japanese. If this hasn���t happened to you at least twice, how does it feel to be God���s favourite? This is the final boss and where I usually give up because anime will not kill me for my mother, abeg. Nonsense and rubbish. 

    Let me just come and be going
