Does it surprise you that there are a lot more people who make animation the center of their lives? Just as cigarettes and alcohol can be addicting, anime may be addicting too. Individuals that are addicted to anime, on the flip side, are termed as otaku, or animation addicts to be exact. There are actually people who do nothing all day but watch & think about anime, theorize & collects anime products, squeal about anime, and dream about it as well Well, that is not really the truth and they still do a lot of stuff that can be not linked to anime, but I think you get the point. They may be totally and undeniably addicted to anime and who can blame them? Anime will be about among the most addicting things on the planet. But what causes it to be so addicting?

As a self-confessed animation addict, I will have to claim that you can find several factors why anime is so addicting for lots of people.

The very first, and probably the most compelling reason of all, will be the sheer beauty by which the makers create their characters. Out of all cartoons on the planet, it's only in Japanese anime that I have seen such a good point well rounded and realistic characters that will be so distinctly human. Anime doesn't delude the viewers into thinking that someone may be perfect. The heroes and heroines in anime, beautiful since they could be, have their very own flaws and insecurities. They're not like the princesses in the cartoon fairy tales who are epitomes of grace and goodness, and also are thereby incredibly flat and drab. Anime heroes and heroines are human, and their humanity makes all of them the greater interesting.

In addition, because they each have their own personalities, we are sure to discover at least one character in every show with whom we can relate with and empathize with. And this is just one of the biggest reasons why we get hooked in anime versus American cartoons because we're always looking for out what's going to happen with our favorite characters.

The plots in anime will be only as much reason to get addicted as the characters themselves. Anime Series are almost always gifted with great plots. The plots are seldom ever watered down to suit the audience, thus never undermining the intelligence of the viewers as several of the other cartoon series do. They anime makers can dish out the most elaborate plots and never worry whether anyone will understand whether they're going to be understood or not - after all, anime isn't simply a franchise, it is 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 quantity of suspense, drama, intrigue, politics, and enough twists and turns to leave your jaw hanging. And aside from that, they're usually deep and always have a lesson attached to them.

Okay, let's not deny it. Included in the reason why we watch anime is simply because it simply looks amazing. Although they may be in 2D format, sometimes they can be drawn even better then the ones that will be created in 3D. Those overly large eyes, those gravity defying hairstyles, those weirder than weird clothes; they are simply perfect and sufficient to make anyone keep coming back for more. The artistic amazement will be none stop however you look-at it.
