What's going on, my fellow blerds? Today, I'm going to be talking about a very special thing. It's probably one of the reasons you're even reading this blog. That's right, anime!
Whenever I tell people I enjoy anime, they always give me that same look of confusion and (sometimes) disgust and they always say "Really, Chrissie? You and anime?" Then I have to explain why I like it which is just weird conversation with normal people.
I like anime for several reasons.
One reason I can pull off the top of my head is the characters. When I watch a show, at least 46% percent of whether I like the show or not depends on if I like the characters or not.
If an anime has shitty characters (ex: KissxSis), I probably won't like the show or even finish it.
If an anime has good characters (ex: -insertanimehere-), I'll finish it and will probably watch it again later. It's like this effect good characters can have on someone, you know what I mean?
For me, a good character is someone I can either relate or feel for. A character like that, for me, is Tomoko Kuroki from Watamote.
Tomoko is practically relatable for all otaku. She's perpetually in that state of social awkwardness that we all had in middle school and she just wants to get out if that state but is afraid of what'll happen if she does. Nearly every otaku can relate to that and if you tell me you can, you are lying to yourself and you need to confess.
A bad character, well, you can usually tell one when you see one. Mary Sues, and the like. ...they're shit.
Another reason I like anime is purely for the art. Mother of god, anime taught me how to really appreciate other people's artistic talent. Sometimes, I just spend like 2 minutes just staring at picture going, "holy fuck this is good".
Third reason I like anime is the music. A good original soundtrack can make an anime go from a 7/10 to a 8/10. A great OST I can think of would be the Samurai Champloo OST. It fit the anime, sounded great (RIP Nujabes), and was just good damn music.
There are a lot of other reasons someone might love anime. Story...uh, other stuff, well, you get what I mean. I ain't into explaining how other people feel about this stuff.
What do you love about anime?
