Just a few reasons why we become hooked on anime.......

Just trying to sum up anime in general. Trying to answer a question I've heard around every so often. What's so great about anime? or Why'd I get hooked on anime? Tip: Show this list to beginners in anime. They outta know what there gettin' into. ^_^

1 The animation rocks! Way more attention to subtle details, shading, and color than a cartoon.
2 There's something for everyone.......you know, comedy, horror, drama, romance, action, sci-fi......
3 The minute the theme song starts going it sends shivers down your spine.......certain scenes do that too.
4 Nothing is every 'normal' about it. Anything can happen.
5 The guys are waaayyy kawaii.....more than in real life........the girls too in fact.
6 It makes things personal..........you care if character's live or die.
7 Actually you care if there upset as well.......
8 The expressions are so funny........something like this maybe? -_-!!
9 The chibi's are so cute!
10 Most main characters are just normal kids in extreme situations.........you can relate to them and there problems.......(most anyway)
11 Ones made for our age (NOT Hello! Kitty!) don't shy away from...........anything really. Gore, yaoi, yuri, hentai, ai, angst, are all words used frequently in anime stories. This Good?....bad? I'll leave that up to you to decide. ^_~
12 The eyes.....the hair......really wild. You'll never see that anywhere else outside of Japan. (unless they copied!)
13 Boring things are made interesting and funny.......like two people walking down the road talking. (Even more interesting if it's a guy and a girl!)
14 Most parents don't know anything about it....the shows brought over here are really....well no hentai in 'em and have given anime a good reputation.

Warning!

Getting involved in too much anime is a hazard to your sanity. Side effects include: It may cause you to learn a different language. Spend excessive time in front of the T.V or computer and make your family worry about your mental stability, cause you to think about it all the time, dream about it, attempt drawing it, you'll be broke all the time, you daydream a lot, you create stories about it, you sing in Japanese only, and quote lines from it. BE CARE FUL! IT'S ADDICTIVE AND CONTAGIOUS......................... But it's so fun!

Rants
It's not a cartoon! Cartoons have shallow characters you don't care about at all. The people all have square ugly faces with small boring eyes. Certainly don't appeal to me. Anime doesn't get much credit over here you know? I hope final fantasy the spirits within is going to change peoples outlook on Japanese movies. Some anime is really hentai though..........wish it wasn't. I CERTAINLY HOPE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT FOR THAT REASON!!!!!!! Ewwwwwww........

I was bored so I did this.....um ........anime review? It has no point...............but I enjoyed writing it! BWAHHHHAHAHA author is suffering from anime side effects. ^_^ Don't mind me.
