Why anime?

The question I have asked myself more often than i can remember " Why do I watch Anime ?". Surely I have better things to do. My life is more than the 16'' laptop can offer . Surely I am missing something.
A lot of people might have asked themselves the same ...

Greetings ! People of the world that is so wide it encompasses the earth and yet so easy to explore that i can do so in my bedroom (yes i mean the internet)
This is my first entry preceding many more to come (hopefully).

Let me start by introducing myself ,
I am the famous " Anime Wizard " but people also know me as "koutsuna" .
So now you know me.

This is not going to be the lame sh*t you've heard many times over like 'I started watching anime on toonami' or 'i got into anime through naruto' (no offence to naruto)(i secretly meant to offend naruto lol) 
But this entry will go more into what anime is , should be , and will be 
I will try to keep this as brief as possible (i sincerely mean that)(unsuccessfully though)

At least to me anime is something that i consider my own . My own little Palace of awesomeness and emotion . All that exist within are fellow brethren ( anime community ) and the rest of the world is my enemy .
I have a special bond with others who enjoy the same medium that i do , a bond that probably i have with none others .

For most, it can also be an escape from reality ( not really as bad as it may sound ) . Frankly reality is just not that great when you can explore fantastic worlds , meet characters next to perfect and see sights which you had never hoped to behold (all within your 16 '' laptop)

-The real world is just a crappy game. The ideal world can only be found within a game. But an ideal can be found within a crappy game. - keima katsuragi (the world god only knows)

There is an ongoing debate whether is it worth the time if what you're doing is not real no matter how you much you enjoy it . BUT as i always have believed "The world doesn't get to decide whether my life is boring, fun, or ordinary. That's my decision to make." So me and many others like me CAN feel safe and enjoy the little haven i call anime.

That being said there are other things I like to do (other than to watch anime i mean). They are:

• To talk about anime 
• To blog about anime 
• To watch/read anime reviews
• Fantasize about anime at night
• Fantasize about anime in broad daylight 
•  Wondering what anime to watch next
• Play anime games

Are some of the things i also like to do.
So next time you ask yourself "Why anime?"
Think about this ,"You don't need a reason to love something . You just do ."
