Here we see Geek Boy reflecting on one of the ways by which he uses his free time. Some people find this method to be disgusting; others build their entire lives around it. Find where you stand after reading this entry.
Sparkly eyes and high-pitched voices.
These two things probably make up the entirety of the typical image that comes to mind when people think of anime. I can't lie - the vast majority of shows do include this, but there's often much, much more that goes into a quality anime than just that.
I'm not quite sure what got me into watching anime in high school, but falling back on the idea that better assimilation can come from stronger ties to that culture, I guess I did at least watch Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z when I was a kid. Even still, somehow I feel like randomly deciding to watch 160 half-hour episodes within a week freshman year is a bit much.
Some people watch anime because of the awesome action scenes. Some people watch anime because of the tear-jerking drama. Some people watch anime because of the surprisingly realistic character development. Some people watch anime because of the ridiculously expressive soundtracks. Some people watch anime because of the new, experimental styles of animation. As for me, I watch anime for all of these reasons because I feel that they are all perfectly legitimate reasons to watch anime.
That still doesn't explain how I got so into it so quickly, though.
