I never even watched through pokemon even once actually. It was on 7:00am TV, and I never really bothered to wake up early most of the time (Laziness wins >.<).

So by "personal detrimental effects" you mean wasting time and money. I imagined more on the emotional side... by the way you said "I've learnt that over-emotion can have personal detrimental effects".

Yeah, I've wasted some time on some things as well. Like with some anime (Tsukihime), I wasted some time doing some research on it. But it's not like any significant amount of time that would be enough cause me detriment. Probably would've wasted that bit of time doing something else anyway, so no big loss.

And I've learnt that over-emotion can have personal detrimental effects (I guess I learnt that from Pokemon).

That seems wrong and right at the same time.

mmmhmm, more like you fall in love with a character, then can't get over the fact that the person isn't real, also the anime ends, and you want more. i think that's the over-emotion peice.

I can't imagine myself ever getting into that situation (bolded section). Not saying I'm unfeeling, but even if I try my hardest, I probably can't get that kind of attachment to an anime charactor.

Although the wanting more bit applies sometimes, especaily when the story just ends abruptly, and feels unfinished.
