I was just thinking today..
How sometimes it just sucks when you have no one to talk to about anime/manga.
Then there are those very rare occasions (well at least for me) where there is someone that watches anime but not to the point where I could have a proper conversation. The only thing they would watch is the ones everyone has or is currently watching. You know like Bleach, Naruto, Code Geass, Vampire Knight Ect. The only places where you talk about anime/manga is website like this but sometimes that just isn't enough.

How do you people feel knowing that sometimes you just can't talk to people about anime/manga? Do you wish there was someone near you to talk about this? Do you basically feel alone where you are because of that?

The only anime most of my friends watch is Dragon Ball Z (and still they call it a cartoon). I have one friend who watches Bleach. I spend all my time on /a/ on 4chan talking to them about anime so I don't really have any problem with socialising about anime.

Soryon:
I only know one person who watches anime. We don't actually really talk about it though and really, it doesnt bother me. I can't think of a time when I was like hey, "I wish I had someone to talk about that new episode of whatever with!"

The only reasons I have for wishing I had other friends who were into anime is so we can go to conventions and stuff. As it is, I only have two friends who likes to go to anime conventions and even then, only one of them actually watches anime. They other is just a good friend of mine who is pretty nerdy also. So, even though he doesn't watch anime, he likes to go for the atmosphere and the other parts that are not directly anime related.

I kind of have the opposite problem.  My roommate and several other mutual friends we have are all into anime to varying degrees, so I don't generally have an issue with not having someone to talk to.  One of my roommate's friends, however, reads voraciously, is completely addicted to manga & anime, and will talk your ear off about it given the chance.  If you casually mention a show he's seen, be prepared to hear a full description of the plot including spoilers, plus descriptions of 2 or 3 other unrelated shows, plus whatever else happens to occur to him at the same time.  The guy's pretty smart, so even if he wanders off onto several tangents during the conversation, he will remember them all and will eventually circle back through each of them if he has enough time.  He's not a bad guy, he's just completely lacking any self control when it comes to conversation, and he knows it.

That's why I visit BBT and /a/.
