My brother is a huge weeb who has never read a chapter book in his life. In order to try and get him to read I made a deal with him. He reads five books that I select for him and I'll watch five anime series of his choosing (I have never seen anime other than the Ghibli movies).
I enjoyed what I watched but don't think I am going to be watching any more anime any time soon. But now when I sit down and start to read something I imagine all the characters as if it were anime. It's honestly driving me crazy and no matter how hard I try to stop I eventually slip back into it. It is kind of ruining my reading experience.
What should I do, /lit/? Will it just go away so long as I don't watch any more weeb-shit? Should I just give up reading and become a filthy otaku like my brother? Or should I just blow my brains out to get all this anime out of my head?

That's probably still better than the problem I once had when I couldn't stop imagining all the characters as furries.

It went away when I grew out of the fandom and got all my visual stimulus from live action tv and movies. If you give your eyes something different than your visual imagination will have to adapt to that.
