| To answer this question we got to go further back... why do we exist? And why does the universe exist? |

| Anime exist for the same reason the suicide booth in futurama exist. They both exist to help people commit suicide and because of overpopulation. The only difference is that the suicide booth kills people and anime will lower birth rate when they can finally make waifus come to life. |

| Anime is made by people. People are living, thus, life. Therefore... Anime is Life |

| This is an excellent question. Thousands of scientists have researched on this matter for a very long time. But unfortunately, they couldn't come up with any satisfactory result. Maybe someday, just maybe, we'll be able unravel this enigma. |
| Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg… and my arm… even my fingers. The body I’ve lost… the comrades I’ve lost… won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re all still there. You feel it, too, don’t you? |

| This question can be traced back to "Why drama exists". I believe sholars can write a whole book of it. XD Same as drama it serves both aesthetic and entertaining purposes. Anime is like drama with much less limitation. For example acting,setting isn't a problem, since characters act like how you draw it. |

| It's the same as asking why movies exist... It's just entertainment, since the industrial revolution there has been a huge demand for entertainment...

| Originally anime or cartoons were created to entertain children. But now anime or cartoons also have a purpose to entertain adults |

| To give sad people like OP a reason to shitpost on MAL, I guess. At least that's the most tangible effect I see it having. |

| I have this theory that anime is some alien production, and animation studios are all a lie. They secretly just rummage through alien trash to find anime, which is the reason why anime is trash. This also explains why anime girls have large alien-like eyes. |

Why does anime exist? Why does humans exist? Are humans truly equal? |
