Does it surprise you that you can find a lot more people who make animation the center of their lives? Just as cigarettes and alcohol may be addicting, anime can be addicting too. Individuals that are addicted to anime, however, are termed as otaku, or animation addicts to be exact. There are individuals 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 will be not linked to viewing anime, but I think you get the point. They're totally and undeniably addicted to anime and who can blame them? Anime is just about among the most addicting things on the planet. But what can make it so addicting?

As a self-confessed animation addict, I'll have to claim that you will find several factors why anime is so addicting for a lot of men and women.

The first, and probably the most compelling reason of all, is the sheer beauty by which the makers create their characters. Out of all cartoons worldwide, it really is only in Japanese anime that I have seen such well rounded and realistic characters that are so distinctly human. Anime won't delude the viewers into believing that someone may be perfect. The heroes and heroines in anime, beautiful since they could possibly be, have their own flaws and insecurities. They are 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, since they each have their very own personalities, we are sure to locate 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 for out what is going to happen with our favorite characters.

The plots in anime are 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 another 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 - after all, anime is just not simply a franchise, it is a form of art, and if people do not 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 not just that, they're usually deep and always have a lesson attached to them.

Okay, let's not deny it. Included in the explanation why we watch anime is because it simply looks amazing. Although they can be in 2D format, sometimes they may 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're simply perfect and sufficient to make anyone keep coming back for more. The artistic amazement will be none stop however you look at it.
