Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
Somehow, we got really bored due to the lack of real customers today, and the guy from yesterday’s post began a conversation with one of the females, regarding anime. I wasn’t really feeling too well today, so I just stood aside, gave fliers and listened on as they spoke.

I began my first out of four days of temporary work as a sales promoter today, and at the same time, I was introduced to a couple of new colleagues, 2 girls and a guy, all slight senior by a couple of years. The day started without many customers, so we were rather free to get some small talk going. The guy then approached me since we were all bored, and somehow or another, since we were selling routers, we approached the topic of bittorrenting, and eventually he introduced himself as someone who watches anime.
This image is irrelevant to the post since I’m not working in the office
This might just be interesting, I thought.

Many people use anime as a form of escapism from the cold, harsh real world. Therefore, their preferences of the 2D world tend to be as unrelated to the real life as possible. The more unbelievable stuff that will never ever happen in the real world, the better. This is basically a refraction of real life, as the wavelengths between the 2 worlds differ, separated by heaven and earth.
Take Zero no Tsukaima for example, since I’ve just completed both seasons a couple of days ago. A tsundere mage as the main lead, excessive fanservice, a harem, an insane 1 vs 70000 battle and many more illogical. The reason why people enjoy the series is because none of this ever occurs in the real world. Hence, when watching such a show, it literally transports them into a totally brand new fantasy world, distant from the unfeeling world that one lives in.

That’s what’s happening to me now. Ever since school began 7 weeks ago, I’ve been living in my own world revolving around mainly 2D stuff. The mention of the word school brings about the sudden thought of cute high school girls in seifuku flashing into my mind, not that anyone in my school wears anything remotely resembling a seifuku. And what’s studying? Is it some Kaworu-level yaoi activity that transforms GAR men into Shinji-like characters?
Something I will never experience, which is why I enjoy watching it. Not in 2D form, but in 3D form. For me, anything about high school in anime is good. Sports, slice-of-life, comedy and the list goes on. Anything, except romance. Which is why I don’t watch stuff like Clannad and many others of the similar genre. Yes, I am a fool who misses out on how great Key’s work is, and it doesn’t bother me. Not even the slightest bit.
Sorry, but I’m not interested
