Whats your take on Anime?
I havent really thought about it much but ever since i got super ridiculously addicted to anime(to the point where i actually quit Dota.. although there were also other reasons why i stopped) i was always pondering on why it has become this way.
To me i suppose, anime is my gateway to escape reality completely and into a place where i wish that my life was ideally the same as some of the many animes i have watched. I guess since life isnt so perfect i was drawn to anime to seek this so called "perfection" without getting too unrealistic i suppose. Maybe thats why i like school-life/drama/romance (i mean who doesnt want a perfect high school life... not that i hated mine, i just didnt feel fully content with what i managed to do in the 4 biggest years of my life up until the present). Or maybe i really am just a fanatic over love but i was also wondering what gets other people so addicted to anime...

To me, anime is simply a(nother) form of art. Perhaps it's one of the reasons why I continue to draw a distinction between it and real world... |

I guess it is a kind of escapism for me too and probably why I also like the school-life stuff.It's addicting to me because I find myself more emotionally attached to animated characters than say live action shows. I think it's because when you watch a live show you know the actors, you may see them in other things or in interviews but for an animated character, that's all they're ever going to be. You won't see them in another show with a different personality and that's why they're more real to me. Or maybe I just like the pretty colours... =p |
