The other day i was going through my families attic and i found a box labeled "the box of crap". It was my box from the teens. I blew off the dust and looked in it and my my, it was my old anime books, vhs and dvd sets, posters, drawings, and all that Japanese paraphernalia. I looked at the stuff dumb founded and said, "Holy crap i was an asian nerd back in the day?"
I could not believe that i had invested so much money into, well now i think it is lame/ waste of space (due partially to my high American living lifestyle). I kept asking myself why did I like this stuff. I popped some of the dvd's and VHS's in and sat down and watched some of it. I could not even watch a 5-10 minutes of it. It didn't make sense to me. Why did people have gigantic tears along their face/ I questioned how badly the animation was and further questioned why i watched this stuff. I even said, "Why is this octopus raping this woman?" (haha) The only thing I could watch was the gundam shows partly because i am trying to get my masters in robotical engineering.
I guess i just out grew it (no duh). But i wonder what drove me to watch it. I looked at the yearbooks (empty of fellow classmates signatures) and found out that i was a loner back in the hay day. Could it have been that in the phycological mind set that i used this insane weirdness of cartoons to escape from reality?
I ask you, why do you watch anime and manga?
For people who have out grown it put down your thoughts of what you think of it now?
