The 13 Phases of Watching Anime

1. Being overwhelmed with all the options to choose from.

The amount of anime that is on Crunchyroll and Hulu is pretty awe-inspiring.

2. You finally pick a show after a few hours of internal debate.

3. You will have the opening stuck in your head all day.

4. After a few episodes, you have a new waifu or husbando.

Your love will forever be strong.

5. Your computer or phone background is based on the most currently watched anime.

Sometimes even the ringtone or notification sound.

6. The series will become a part of your life.

Cliffhangers while you simulcast will leave you in a week of despair.

7. You tell everyone about the life changing series.

It is a bit like having a sandwich covered in jellyfish jelly.

8. The characters may become your new friends.

It's an unbreakable bond.

9. You buy some of the merchandise, no matter how expensive.

You will have the perfect mantelpiece.

10. You are devastated when the main canon sinks your ship.

Good thing you are a captain of an armada.

11. You will cry when your favorite character dies.

It hurts even more if they were your waifu or husbando.

12. There will be a bittersweet feeling when the series ends.

You are happy to have experienced the series, but sad to see it end.

13. You get to do the cycle again, uguu!
