It Is Not Just An Anime
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in the 2D/3D world?
Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Ghoul, One-piece, Naruto, etc. which fandom are you from?
It's far too difficult to imagine things as we watch and fantasize about stepping into their world. Every simple storyline sometimes felt surreal and always bring us massive impacts emotionally and physically.
But before anything else, I'd like to extend my gratitude to my sponsors for their support, and you can visit their accounts to read interesting piece.
This paper was obviously a continuation of my recently released article entitled An Introduction To Anime. I was introduced to the fascinating world of anime at a very young age, and I was influenced to watch anime by my older brother from the first story I saw aired on GMA Channel 7 and ABS-CBN Channel 2 every morning and afternoon. Slam Dunk, Doraemon, Ghost Fighter, One Piece, Naruto, and Detective Conan are just a few of the shows I used to watch and try to merrily keep up with back then. As I have gotten older, I became aware of how every show on the same station at the time was repetitively aired, obviously, they just pick out some episode and play it out and I happened to observe that these series have lacked a consistent story flow. I was eager to watch those anime series, but I was discouraged since I couldn't think of any other way to watch them, especially back when our televisions solely rely on antenna signals and we only had a few selected channels to choose from.
Having my own cellphones aided me greatly in gaining access to a number of shows that I enjoy watching. Even though we didn't have an internet connection at the time, I insisted on getting a copy from my friends of the shows and movies I wanted to watch on my 16 GB USB pen drive. I'm not satisfied since I occasionally watch the copies of movies and series I've requested way quicker from time to time. One of the solutions that I laid is to load and stream online, I ask for websites where you can watch it for free, and whenever I visit a friend's house with Wi-Fi, I take advantage of the opportunity to download some of the series I want to watch. Those were such memorable times, and it was wonderful to reminisce about it, especially when I was still in high school and only had anime as a hobby, as opposed to now in college that's making me always occupied with work.
I used to only watch subbed anime, but after reading some forums, I discovered that reading some of these anime in the manga is also enjoyable. In comparison to animated ones that change during the process, it is more advanced and the story is foremost. My older brother thinks I'm too addicted to it since I watch anime and read its manga version at the same time. Even a friend of mine teased me about being so into anime that there was a time when I couldn't even recommend what to watch with them because I would mostly recommend anime that they weren't a fan of, and we both have different tastes in what we watch, so we just respect each other's preferences when it comes to these form of entertainment.
One of the first anime series that I became overly obsessed with is One Piece, and one of the things I liked about it was that the antagonist Luffy wasn't like the other heroes who were just bound to win one after another. Eiichiro Oda created him as a great character who experienced multiple defeats as a milestone of how these characters would surpass and achieve each of their goals throughout their adventures to become what they aimed to be. Aside from that, each of the characters' traits and backstories was too surreal, whether the main character or an antagonist, the viewers were given the opportunity to learn about each character's backstory before giving judgment on them based on their current appearance and features.
Not only did I find anime to be entertaining, but it also helped me to lighten up my mood. It's like putting me on a roller coaster ride. In each story I've watched, there have been times when I felt emotionally attacked because of a sad scene, times when I laughed and even mimicked a pun that I got from it, and times when I fell in love with the character.
Anime isn't just an animated form of entertainment, some characters are too relatable, I can see myself in the same situation as the characters in the story, and I can find the motivation to continue following them. Aside from that, there was a captivating storyline that made you want to keep on tuning in. While dealing with their problems, some people used these entertainment platforms to keep themselves occupied. It's just a shame that these forms of entertainment aren't always sufficient, because some people's addiction to anime causes them to become more isolated from reality, which can lead to social anxiety. As a result, it comes as no surprise that Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world due to other people's lack of deep communication with those closest to them.
Regardless of how much satisfaction and comfort we derive from the world of anime, it is essential that our perspective on the world remains balanced. Anime is just another way for us to express our desires, but we shouldn't let it consume us. Don't miss out on the chance to create your own adventure in this thrilling reality.
