maybe I just love anime because...
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE anime no matter what. But there's this thought that has been haunting me and it's the fact that maybe I just love anime because it's not real. I know, there are realistic sides of anime and most of it are loosely based on reality but have you ever thought about how hard it is to be a person? to be real? Because I have.
In real world, socializing is very hard, at least for me. You have to intently focus to understand someone, you have to search and be wary for social cues, you don't know what other people are thinking and that sometimes leads to overthinking. It's so tiring.
But in anime? You can understand their personality, learnーsometimes hearー their thoughts through monologue, and discover who the characters are by just watching and analyzing them. It's easy. Their facial expressions change, drastically and their eyes hold so much emotions that you can literally know what they're feeling just by looking at them.
While in real world, some people are too good in hiding how they feel, some people purposely lead you on to a different thinking process, and some people are just so hard to read. Do you understand my point? Remember I said 'maybe' I just love anime, well, I take that back. I love anime because of its everything and thisーthis is just a small part of that everything.
