Does it surprise you that you will find so many people who make animation the center of their lives? Just as cigarettes and alcohol can be addicting, anime may be addicting too. Those who are addicted to anime, alternatively, are termed as otaku, or animation addicts to be exact. There are actually folks that do nothing all day but watch & think about anime, theorize & collects anime products, squeal about anime, and dream about it as well Well, that's not really the truth and they still do a lot of stuff that are not associated with anime, but I think you get the point. They're totally and undeniably addicted to anime and that can blame them? Anime is just about among the most addicting things on the planet. But what makes it so addicting?
As a self-confessed animation addict, I will have to say that you will find several reasons why anime is so addicting for many people.
The very first, and probably the most compelling reason of all, is the sheer beauty by which the makers create their characters. Out of all cartoons on the planet, it really is only in Japanese anime that I have seen such well rounded and realistic characters that can be so distinctly human. Anime isn't going to delude the viewers into thinking that someone may be perfect. The heroes and heroines in anime, beautiful because they could be, have their own flaws and insecurities. They are not like the princesses within the cartoon fairy tales who are epitomes of grace and goodness, and are thereby incredibly flat and drab. Anime heroes and heroines are human, and their humanity makes all of them the better interesting.
Moreover, because they each have their own personalities, we're sure to search out at least one character in each and every show with whom we can relate with and empathize with. Which is just one of the biggest reasons why we get hooked in anime versus American cartoons because we're always looking to find out what is going to happen with our favorite characters.
The plots in anime will be just as much reason to get addicted as the characters themselves. Anime Series are more often than not gifted with great plots. The plots are seldom ever watered down to suit the audience, thus never undermining the intelligence of the viewers as some of the additional cartoon series do. They anime makers can dish out the most elaborate plots and never worry whether anyone will understand whether they will be understood or not - of course, anime isn't simply a franchise, it's a form of art, and if people don't understand it today. Then maybe the people of tomorrow will.
Anime plots will almost always be suffused with a sufficient amount of suspense, drama, intrigue, politics, and enough twists and turns to leave your jaw hanging. And aside from that, they are usually deep and always have a lesson attached to them.
Okay, let's not deny it. A division of the reason why we watch anime is mainly because it simply looks amazing. Although they may be in 2D format, sometimes they're drawn even better then the ones that are created in 3D. Those overly large eyes, those gravity defying hairstyles, those weirder than weird clothes; they're simply perfect and sufficient to make anyone keep coming back for more. The artistic amazement is simply none stop however you look at it.
