I've never really considered myself much a fan of anime, but more a sort of casual viewer. I'd watch a series here and there when I got bored -- Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Love Hina, Oh My Goddess!, .hack//SIGN -- a few series that managed to interest me. But the interest usually didn't last beyond watching whatever series, and then I wouldn't watch any more for quite a while.
I guess three years of visiting OtakuBoards/myOtaku has finally rubbed off on me, though, because I'm finding myself more and more interested in anime. Right now I'm nearing the end of the seventh and last season of Ranma ½, and though I've still got the OAVs and movies left, I'm actually thinking about what I want to see next. Anime is becoming more of a real hobby for me, and I've even had thoughts of actually buying (gasp!) some manga, though I haven't looked at prices or even what's available around here yet.
Of course, I don't think it'll ever get to the same level as gaming. I've been a gamer far longer, and I enjoy my video games far too much (to the edge of -- no, scratch that -- to the point of obsession) for anything else to top gaming. Still though, it's nice to have a good variety of hobbies; makes it easier to find something to do when you're bored. ... Though on the other hand, it also makes you stretch your money thinner. But oh well; I think I'll manage.
