Do you think I have an unheatly addiction to anime?

I usually rent it from netflix and watch it and send it back. Usually 2-3 epsidoes a day if I have the DVD, other days none at all. Its not the only think I watch. I generally watch alot of TV in general. Over the past year I probably completed 9-10 series ranging from evangelion -> wolf's Rain.

I like to just considered myself a fan of it. I didn't really have an interest in it till a year or so ago. And will probably go down as I complete more series.
I usually watch anime because I went long watching other shows and movies and usually got old.

So do you think 1-3 episodes 3 or 4 days out of the week is addiction or unheathly?

Addiction isn't necessarily unhealthy. There's no reason to be ashamed or afraid of being addicted to something if it causes no harmful impact on you or the people around you. Based on your description, and without knowing your personality, daily routine, and habits, it's impossible for me to determine if you're addicted or obsessed with anime. If you think you are, you probably are. But if it's not causing any harm to you, then it's nothing to worry about. There are certainly worse things you could be addicted to than anime.

Nah doesn't cause me any harm.

Usually wake up, spend 12 hours at work (counting driving, lunch) go home. Play some 360/comp, work out and watch anime before I go to sleep.

However, sometimes I watch movies, or shows like Prison Break instead of anime. Mainly on weekends would I see more of it. I dont read manga so eh. However I do tend to go online and read up about some anime ive seen, but I do that for games to. Mainly ones that are really complicated or catchy. Like Evangelion and Lain, or Xenosaga and Chrono Cross.

I would personally say you don't sound obsessed, addicted possibly (but thats for you to decided) obssesion to me would be something on the order of watching anime the whole time your not at work, or skipping work to watch anime, loosing your job because you called in sick 4 days last week in order to stay at home and watch anime. Obbsession and addiction are 2 totally different things Generally speaking addiction can be good or bad, however obbsession is generally never seen in a positive light
