For me being interested in anime is not a waste of time. Rather its somewhat a way of escaping this tiresome and stressful reality that we call life. Take deathnote for an example. such a great anime that gives us an idea of what would the world be if this "notebook" really existed. Anime is actually an expression of man's curiosity of the unknown and its his way of channeling his/ her emotions may it be real or just imaginary. Its not just kid's stuff.. taking school rumble for another example. yes some parts of this anime may be too impossible but the feeling of having that first love in school is real. Anime is not bad influence rather, its an inspiration for people to channel their thoughts, desires and emotions thru non harmful and non violent things.
Watching anime is definitely a hobby. Therefore, if we can control it, like with any other hobbies, anime is good. In fact, there are many many anime whose purpose is not only entertainment, but also education. Watching something educational but still entertaining is indeed a very good way to learn.
But if we spend too much time on anime, it becomes bad. Really bad.

I think artists should see piracy as a way to publicise their works and also see it as a gesture of support. No one would pirate your stuff if they don't like it so you can tell how popular you are by the number of places where you can download your art for free.
Also, exports are extortionately expensive and songs should be a way to express yourself, not just to get money.
I would buy the titles but there's too many and they're way too expensive, more precisely the blue-ray ones! The alternatives are to download them or watch them online, though i've been sticking to the first method since a long time now. My only hope is that when i get a job and start earning money, i'll buy the titles so that i can support the authors.
