Videogames, Anime and Heavy Metal... huh?

I Love Anime/Manga, I like to play video games, and Metal is my favorite genre of music. Add some beer and Chinese food and ill be in heaven. marcl18123

ohh god agreed, add some girls and replace metal with Rap and Were good xD

I don't know why anybody would find this weird. All three of those are often linked to the nerd/social outcast stereotypes. Most stereotypes have some truth to them.

I like video games but don't like anime or heavy metal

Well maybe some of u guys have noticed that there is a strong connection between liking videogames and anime, its not always like this but still a good % of people liking both of them, but what i find really strange is that a lot people (not everyone) with this taste like heavy metal (including me)....

have u guys noticed this? or why do u think all this is connected?

Love video games, used to kinda be into anime, but now I lost all interest in it, and the only genre of music that I don't like is Country.

:shock: Wow, I think we are the same person, I love playing Halo 3, eating chinese food, blaring heavy metal music, and then topping it off by watching a few episodes of an anime before I fall asleep, and beer if my fav alcoholic drink, but Iced Tea, Root Beer or Coke will do if I don't feel like drinking. :P

I love games, but I dislike both Anime and Metal.

Nerds like anime and videogames and heavy metal. Real men like me only play PC Games, and listen to death/black metal.KHAndAnime

Sounds more like anti-social men. :P Also I think it takes a while to transition yourself into death/black metal. I started with Heavy, moved to Thrash, Melodic Death, then Death...Not a fan of Black...yet. :P

Like all three. Metal is liked a little less than the other two things though.

Videogames...anime...heavy metal...

Reminds me of a sig I've seen somewhere...

But where...?

Video games + Metal = PWNAGE.

It's the only time I mostly listen to metal, listening to it elsewhere feels odd.

umm why do you still have your christmas sig up:|

I love me some gaming with some powermetal,preferably Blind Guardian the most under-rated band EVER followed by a good dose of Ranma 1/2

I LOVE Video Games and Anime.... andI can tolerate heavy metal.

For me...

Gaming in general (Although my pride and joy is on the PC, been playing for 15 years and going!), Various genres of Metal (Thrash, Power, Progressive and exploring Experimental with Meshuggah), Stargazing (Very new, just saw Saturn and its rings last night for the first time), Pen and Paper RPGs (I focus around DnD 3.5 and Pathfinder with some Dark Heresy here and there), playing guitar (I'm a Thrash rhythm player, been playing for 5 years), PC Hardware, Amateur Physicist (Although I'm a Physics major), used to play Magic: The Gathering, absolutely dig western comics (The Punisher and The Darkness being my favorites, and I'm trying to get my hands on the essential X-Men volumes), like only one Anime (Gundam Wing), Warhammer 40k buff, and very frequent Science/Sci-Fi/Fantasy reader (Currently going through the original DragonLance trilogy).

I think I have touched upon all of the realms of nerdom. Do I care that I'm a nerd? **** no.

bet 99% of the anime haters have only seen the crap that gets imported to the west,i seen plenty of animes with deeper storylines and characters than most western films

I like videogames, a few animes (Gurren Lagann and Dragon Ball series being the only ones I've enjoyed in recent memory) and I like orchestrated, rock, punk rock, techno music.

I feel the same....

it's not weird though, I visit Metal forums and they seem to dig some bizarre mangas :D

I love Video Games and the metal but I like most kinds of music ... but Anime *Vomits*

[QUOTE="michael_1234576"]I love video games but I'm not really into anime or heavy metal..Xx_Hopeless_xX

I'm going to agree with you :P...

As am I. Don't care for most metal or anime. Only video games for me.

Agreed. Hating on something as vast and varied as anime is like hating on live action shows, going from One Tree Hill to Prison Break to Heroes to Battlestar Galactica. It makes little sense. Hating on a particular show or perhaps even genre is a more logical thing to do.

I don't like Anime (I liked Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ when I was younger but not anymore)xTheExploited

I enjoy Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest and I did transition, and I'm just kidding really, 95% of kids that I know who listen to metal or see with metal t-shirts seem pretty socially awkward to me - including black/death. I even see this kid in the hallway wearing a Wolves in the Throne Room t-shirt for days straight and it looks like he never showers. Ew. :PKHAndAnime

Love metal and video games. Anime not so much. Depends on the series but i haven't watched one in a long time.

I like video games and anime but not a real fan of heavy metal.

Hmm, that's odd.

I play video games only a few times a year. I never liked watching anime (doesn't interest me). And lastly, I can't really stand metal (really dislike unclean vocals).

I love video games, do not like anime, like my fair share of metal but my niche is hip hop/classic rock.

I think it has more to do with Gamespot users. I know the answer but I'm too lazy and tired to twist my words to it. Something to do with people who have the time to post on a forum would also have the time to pick up on interests with anime, but there is more to it then that.
