Why are some people obsessed with anime?

Question

Why do they take their obsessions so far?

Answer 1

Well theres so much you can do. Its more of a hobbie then an obsession. There just types of shows and books ppl like and perfer.  and sometimes its better then some shows out there. Plus its not just watching shows you can dress up and go to conventions and meet new ppl with your interests. Some ppl who like anime like to draaw to and it gets there artistic skills up or back to the cosplay ppl learn to sew too. Its just something different that "normal" ppl find weird and because it sticks out like a sore thumb were considered nerds. Plus itis better obsession then drugs, being skinny , alchocol , smoking , and well you get my point. ... i hope.

Answer 2

because anime rules!

Answer 3

It depends on how you look at. What some people call an obsession others call a hobby. Its a way of using our free time to do something constructive instead of destructive. Its also a way of expressing one's own creative side.

Answer 4

well, i got into it about a year ago from a friend of mine and now i love it. its not an obsession its the same as watching TV; drama, comedy, action, romance ....everything except in anime form which in my opinion is way cooler because theres more imagination to it, as well as thinking outside the box and exceeding reality :D

Answer 5

you expect me to be interested by big-headed cartoon characters? I think not. japanese anime is interesting, and the pictures are highly detailed. the plot of anime is more complex than cartoons, so you really get into the story as you read it. I don't cosplay but my friend does, and there's nothing wrong with that.

also I think that if people didn't take their obsessions so far we wouldn't have doctors, food, televison, medicine, or even houses to live in. so it's more of a good thing that people are obsessed, no?

Answer 6

because it can do things that live movies can't without having to be super special effects or really crappy quality, take dragonball z, amazing idea, awesome, i loved it and would be stupidly annoyed if it never existed, but just imagine if that idea were to be done in a live scenario, nope, it wouldnt have worked. So anime offers some kind of a fantasy, personally i only liked the really exadurated versions, but i know a lot of animes don't use really out-of-this world ideas. But i believe the same idea can't suffice that people really really like it because it is not realistic and can offer some escape from realism.

Answer 12

I am a fan but I actually have a life involving things besides anime. In my opinion, the people that honestly believe an anime character is actually "hot" are wasting their lives away. You can be out talking and having a relationship with a person thats actually real (gasp!!!) and things like that. I like it for the great storylines and fast paced action, but knowing every single detail about the stuff and having a crush on a character is just taking it too far.

Answer 13

cuz its awsome,duh! :D

Answer 14

well you probably think us anime freaks are all acne fat and nerdy. I have no acne i'm underweight and i'm just a little dorky >.<

I got into anime from my cousin. she showed me inuyasha and i loved the storyline and everything! It was so great that i became obsessed with it...

thats how i got into it. before then i didn't even know what the h**l anime was or even when i was watching it.

its been a few years and i'm in my second year of high school. its great but not oh my god amazing now. i'm going to a convention tomorrow and cosplaying as misa from death note. cuz she basically wears normal clothes.

but anyway its one of those things that just clicks when you see it...

i hope you find something that important to you too some day =]

best of luck!!!
