Why do I watch anime? And how to avoid giving boring answers!

I am late to Kai’s party, like I usually do. But her project is interesting and I believe that timing is not a factor in this case.

The Seven Tyrannies that Crush Anime Fandom

Anime is our escape, where any dreams are possible. Anime is our freedom, the door that leads to a place beyond our mortal senses. Anime is the wings that fly us to the world so large and yet so private. Of course, we can live our lives without it. But life with anime is much more interesting. Am I exaggerating? Maybe I am. But I tell you now, I am not lying. But why does it have to end?
