Question: Why watch? Answer:One consumes entertainment for their own, and only their own, enjoyment, which comes in infinite variations and complexities, and without an exception all of the different reasons and methods for enjoying something is as valid as the other. This also means that, at the exact moment when none of the prerequisites for watching something are related to oneself's enjoyment, it would be time to stop. The single and the most determining factor to which why one watches lies in one's desire and search for entertainment.
It is commonplace for the underlying perception of enjoyment to be subverted by impersonal and ultimately irrelevant factors, such as public opinion and the paradigmatic "objective" views, and it is the journey in which one must partake on in order to overcome these superficialities which highlight and identify the stages of being a consumer; the normie, the hater, the elitist, and so on. This is not to say that analyzing and defining the aspects of something that makes one enjoy it is pointless, this is in actuality what all should strive to participate in for everything they come across. By identifying what causes the enjoyment and comprehensively organizing them, it helps with the creation of a guideline or a reference point for enjoyment... but therein lies a trap which many fall into. The personal validity and applicability of this reference point causes the individual to mistakenly perceive it as possessing a quality of universality, a relevancy beyond oneself, and feels compelled to push it to others, preach about it. With this action one fails to recognize and respect the indisputability of disparity in preferences among individuals, and is subject to fallacy.
To put things simply, in a societal atmosphere where unconditionally lampooning the mere concept of the existence of anime is considered to be hip and cool and "getting with it", the least that those who aren't part of this frankly degenerated social conformity mindset can do is to consume for their own enjoyment, know the reasons as to why they enjoy it, and to understand that it is alright to enjoy things in however way one does.
Question: Why do you like Slice of Life? Answer:I somehow enjoy watching people being happy, probably since I've given up on real life people and would prefer to ogle at fictional people living out their fulfilled lives. What do they call it, empathy? If the Slice of Life element isn't intrinsically happy, then I'm probably interested in whatever else it has to offer, such as drama or mystery.
Question: Why are all of your shows rated so highly? Answer:I'm here to have fun with things that will allow me to do exactly that, not to find it worth my time to watch bad stuff for the sake of calling it bad. With this in consideration, it makes sense for many of the things I have watched to at least be enjoyed by me, since before all, I am trying to have fun with my time watching.
Does this mean I have low standards? Maybe. The catch is that no one aside from myself can care, much less do something about it, so why care?
