I would take it if it does not include theaters. If it includes theaters then no as that is a common activity that I enjoy with my wife.

Free money and a deal you can exit at any time...? I can't imagine saying no to that, even if it's just for a month or two.

I don't even like anime, but for $1000 I'd do it. Music, podcasts, books. There are plenty of other ways to get entertainment.

I spend about a thousand on movies a month, so that would effectively give me an extra two thousand. I guess I could just watch Trigun on repeat.

I assume the money stops when I want to watch something else? I could probably spend my usual watching-stuff time better elsewhere while also putting that money to good use. And when I'm done I'll have a pretty sizable backlog to catch up on. So sure.

I already watch anime and I can't do solely that for a mere $1K a month. I'll go insane.

So the answer is:

lots of people seem to think this requires you to watch a certain amount of anime per week or something.

Videogames, books, comic books, podcasts, exercise ... you can still do lots of stuff even if you only watch one anime movie a week because you are bored.

Sure, but I'm a video editor so work related videos often includes broadcast stuff

Fuck no. You could pay me $1,000 faster to watch no media.

That is a horrible deal. Hell no. Make it 10k and it's an easy yes.

Nah. I like anime just fine, but $1000 simply isn't enough to give up all other movies/shows.

I don't watch entertainment videos much regardless so this is the easiest take $1000/m for doing what you're already doing. Even if I wanted to I don't even mind anime. I've been meaning to check out some movies.

The only caveats for me would be:
The kids - They like to watch other stuff. Sacrificing Bluey would be tough. Cocomelon and Disney songs and clips probably not so much. We still have songs or spotify or whatever. Kinda sucks though.
Social situations - A TV playing in a restaurant. A mate showing me some funny thing on tiktok/fb/whatever from their phone or sent via discord.

I see no caveat for watching sports so this is an easy take. I'd just not watch any videos at all besides my sports teams and get this bread.
Also I see no mention of porn. I couldn't sustain myself on anime porn.
You should think of the prohibited videos as "everything but the exceptions". I just listed the types of video formats examples.

Do I get to pick the anime?
Yes. And as Platy mentioned, there is no minimum on how much anime you have to watch, as long as you avoid other videos.

This has literally no downside unless you already have enough money where 1000 dollars is a pittance, Like even if you hate anime you could just do this for a month and have a extra one thousand dollars at the end of the month to spend it on whatever bullshit you want. if someone made this bet to me for just one month i would take it easily.

Yeah, if I can end it whenever, I'd do it for a couple years.

Lol at turning your nose up at watching anime to get out of debt and possibly own a home one day, easy choice.

Uh yeah for an extra $12k a year you could limit me to anything but pornography.

It's easy to reject the hypothetical.

I'd do this in a heartbeat if it was 5-10 years ago when I was broke and mostly watched anime. Nowadays I live comfortably enough and enjoy way more stuff than just anime to take this deal. No sports by itself would suck the most.
