Before you read this know this. this is no review. I want people to know certain things that I have learned. I may sound like a failed 30 year old with too much time on his hands and lonely, but the truth is that I am 16 and see what is. judge me as immature and young if you want, but these are the truths people should not only hear but finally conciously realize. I wish to touch the hearts of others. This is not only a message to those like me but also to anyone else who may come accross this text. Most of you may think that I am just some no-life nutjob. But in reality I am a learning person like everyone else who wishes to share what he learns.

I have to admit that while I am writing this I am not exactly an Anime expert and this is my first review. But there is one thing that I can say is that though this Anime is actually just a mere form of entertainment it has touv´ched me like many others. Why? There is no easy answer. I am the type of person that has some trouble feeling.I can feel joy, anger and sadness, but am not able to feel a real connection with people, things or anything for the matter. I have been living with nothing more but a facade, a mask for myself. This may sound as something an absoloute anime fanatic would say, but it is something I have been living with since I was young. I never noticed such a thing, but it is what I had come to realise along other faults i have.

This may seem irrelevent but what I am about to say is something that I would like others to understand. There are key elements to anime that reflect what the true values of people and what they capable of are truly depicted. Many just say "oh the story was great" or "there is a lot of action and blood". Those are the peolple that don't see it. Anime in generall are something extrodinary. If you pay attention not to the whole but to the details on the sides, you can see it in almost all anime. The values that I belive people should have and the truth behind any person:

1. Value your bonds to anyone. I have come to relise this after a year of neglecting those who could have been great friends. Only now do I realise my fault.

2. It is not easy to live as you want. I don't mean becoming rich or famous. What I mean it is not easy to become how you want. No matter how many times I close in I always fail. I have been living with multiple facades of myself trying to adjust but never succeeding. It has become hard for me to be myself, due to these facades.

3. Life is cruel. When you are younger you don't really understand, you simply exist. But as you progress in age things become clearer and clearer for you. Most just forget and repress, but I am one of those that do not forget. I see my faults and have cried and cursed heaven, hell and earth. But no matter how hard I try it is always the same. I always come back to the start.
Life is also cruel in such a way that it challenges you. If you overcome it you just face another challenge until you break. Life breaks you down and even if you ignore it at some distant point in life you will relise it.

4. People are capable of anything. Your own friendly neighbour can be a killer. Even you, your sister, brother, mother, father or friend. Humans are unpredictable: that is a fact. I have seen it but have cept it a secret. I have seen good become bad and bad become worse. and the other way as well.
Remember this: We may all be wearing a facade and no one knows us truly.

5. Admit what you feel, there is no need to fear. It is no use supressing your emotions. You only deny who you are. This is another thing I have been doing my whole life. Subdoing who and how I am to fit into my surroundings. I am afraid of what others might think but have come to realise a truth: such a fear is just an illusion we created for ourselves. It does not matter what they think, be you. Belive in what you want and set your virtues. Stand beside them and don't waver. Anothe thing I have failed to do.

6. This may the most important thing I have to say. Don't give up. I have said many things to discourage but they are a truth people ignore. Truths that people just know from fiction and thus do not see to be real. Do not give up hope. It can be seen as being stubborn or thick headed. Life is valuable. All valubale things have a price. No matter how desparate you are live on. If you have contemplated suicide as I have many times; thinking it would make things better; but never seem to have the courage to do it then you have hope, a reason to live and true courage. Living is the greatest challenge to us and to continue on is the ultimatum. I never understood why I never went through with it but now I understand. I wasn't too afraid, I had too much hope, too much faith and too much courage. I wanted to fight against what is life. I have given up doing many things, but one: living.

What the hell is all this? Just some jibberish from some whacky idiot secluded from society and addicted to anime? Maybe. But at least I see it. I want as many people to read this as possible. There ARE PEOPLE out there that feel this way and others that need to know these truths. I know this text is out of place here, but i believe this may be the most suitable area to post this in. I belive that there are people here like me, feeling the same way. So I ask of you this: Please spread my words where you can. I do not know if my words alone are enough to convince anyone or to help. but it is only a request. Ignore it if you want.

Another thing I would like to say: I thank those who create anime. It is not only a great form of entertainment but to me it is much more. As I said I have trouble feeling emotions. Emotions I usually use, that I need for my facade come easy but otherwise they do not. Before I saw any anime I felt hollow most of the time. I felt like I did not see meaning in my life. Then I finally found clarity and saw my many faults. I tried to ignore them but they cept coming back an I was thus constantly filled with regret. No one noticed due to the facade I had created. I am affraid of dissapointing people or making them feel sad and thus try to limit what I do. Anime changed all that. for some reason it was anime. I have talked to people and tried to find out myself why I am as I am. After watching several Anime I finally felt something other then being hollow and regret and anger. I felt happyness, sadness and many other emotions. They all suddenly appeared. Now I am still a lot like the way I was, but I noticed that I am gradually getting better. NO ONE knows of this, but now I have to speak. I fear that there are others like me out there and I not only want to speak for them, but if possible speak to them. Anyone else who agrees in my opinion is welcome to say so. As i have said: do not fear. I have had enough of fear and I strive to fight it.
Thus making this my first step: Admit waht you feel, there is no need to fear.

There is no guarantee that the lessons that I have learned can or will help others or even make sense to anyone. But that is my only wish.

To those who understan: If anything is unclear just contact me.

I have posted this on multiple pages here.

Not a bad message, I agree with you on everything you said, you are very insightful. The only problem is that it does not relate to the thread. It is true that there has yet to be a topic made that fits what you are trying to get across, but there is a create topic option for that. You are new to this site so I won't hold it against you for it, but try doing that in the future. Still an excellent post and I applaud you for your effort in sharing of knowledge.

In a response to your post:


On to the main topic. My favorite genres are romance and drama if done correctly. There is nothing that will crash an anime for me more than a drama set up poorly.

Thrillers, comedy and slice of life.

I love the feeling of chills, I love to laugh and I love to just take it easy.

Comedy, Romance & Slice-of-life.

Action & Drama? Well, I used to take it seriously sometimes (School Days is so intense & twisted).

I like Shounen, Slice of life, Comedy, and sports. Though there is really no genre that I won't watch besides gore and horror, and I might get into horror one day, I just don't see the need for gore.

I always like good comedy. (Though I tend to dislike anime depending solely on comedy.)

I don't care what the other genre is as long as the show is very funny, but I always seem to lean more to Shounen/action-type anime.

There are exceptions though that are romantic comedy like Ouran Koukou Host Club and Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!...

I agree, I've never understood the impact of gore. I just find it disgusting.
Horror can be okay, but I get startled incredibly easily, so I try to avoid it ^__^;

Phychological thriller when I want to watch something serious. Ecchi and hentai when I need a break from the serious stuff. But I'm always down for some good action, preferably shows where the women or total bad asses.

Very similar to what I like, except that I see comedy as a "complimentary" genre. As the "main" genre, comedies usually don't fare well with me. While consistently entertaining, most are ultimately forgettable. Also not a fan of the horror genre, but I will watch it every now and then.
