What Makes Anime So Addicting?

[Inamorata]

Please tell me what is sooo addicting about anime.
Personaly its for multiple reasons.
1. Styles
2. HUmor
3. Perverson

[Famahama]

The story it has. And also the art style.

but in points, its gotta be;
1. Action
2. Humor
3. Romance (rawr~)

If its has these elements, I wouldn't mind watching that anime.
anything else is pure PHAIL.

[Inamorata]

lol. True, but ya cant go wrong with perverson. The classic anime element. <3
Thanks for your response & compliment, Unli.<3

1. Deep storyline (ie: metaphorical)
2. Humor
3. Quality art (If it looks good, it makes me get more into it)

[IchigoKiss]

1. Humor
2. Storyline
3. Styles

[Eris]

It's laced with amphetamine.

1. Like someone said, perversion. From back since Cutie Honey's clothes disintegrated to change into her magical outfit on prime time television, it's been such a major element it's impossible to dismiss. Not that it's bad thing, eh? D:

2. Cinematography. Since anime is drawn from scratch, it allows freer and more dinamic poses and "camera work" than a recorded movie.

3. Escape. Anime can get away with a lot less realism than other mediums (impossible colored hair/eyes, costumes). It's a great way to get away from the real world for a while. Or forever D:

[SuXrys]

Hm... let me think.
1. humor
2. story
3. as Datenshi said, escape. It lets me escape from the real world for a while.

Its usually the story-line that hooks me to it, and how epic it is. Whereas series' such as Azumanga Daioh and Ichigo Mashimaro that do not have a story, I get hooked to them because of the Humour and the awesome animation. ^_^

1. Escape from reality. [you can see things that can't happen in r/l much]
2. Story lines.
3. Cuteness?!?! :3

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

I can relate to the characters. For example: Here's this loser that comes home day after day of the same tiring tasks, and that makes you feel better, 'cause you know that his/her week was a little bit worse than yours.^^

[Stiltbros]

anime is like cartoons for adults. you can pretty much do anything u can imagine which is why there is such a wide variety of anime out there.

[kaori_tenshi]

I like an anime with good animation and a good plot. Also...I like romance since I ALWAYS find a couple I want in animes paired together. Oh, and an anime with great humor is always great (^. ^)

[███]

I don't find it addicting.

[Ezzy]

1. Storylines - Its like reading a good novel except w/o the reading, besides the subs.
2. Animation/Art
3. Character familiarization
4. All the drama, romance, comedy, ecchi, and other genres
5. The accomplished feeling of watching the last episode of a series and then starting another one
6. And as many people have said before this, being able to escape the real world and become immersed in worlds where anything can and will happen

[Dogmat]

It's easily the characters. Without great characters, it'd hardly be appealing.
