What I said doesn’t apply to all anime, of course. There ARE some pretty bad anime out there. In fact, most of the anime in north america fall under the crap category. XD I said I like anime but I never said I like all of them.
One of the main reasons I watch it coz in anime they can do things that you can’t do in real life…mechas and all the blood and fight scenes in alot of animes. Plus I just love cartoons.
now there’s an open-ended question. i don’t really know how to answer it, though. phew O.o
i watch it for the story, for the ideas . . . i watch it for its complexities and it’s simpleness, for it’s romance and it’s comedy . . . i watch it for beautiful art, but that’s not necessarily a must. i enjoy a lot of the music.
it’s hard to explain. but i like anime.
oh, and the biggest reason . . . .
it’s KAWAII!!!!

I think why do you watch anime is a very hard question to answer. Not because it’s something complex, but because most people don’t truly understand the basis of the question. When it is asked, most assume anime is a genre. Anime is not a genre; it is a medium, much as manga, live action, computer animation, claymation, stage acting, musical performance, the novel, the poem, the comic book, the video game, the online MUD or MU, the stick figure comic(don’t ask), the song, the painting, and the sculpture are all mediums of expression. They all can represent genres such as medieval fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, action, comedy, drama, romance, dramady, tragedy, dark comedy, legend, mytology, fable, and far more than I can begin to list; from the tragic hero, to the hero team, to the super hero, to the repentant villian, to a lot more other thing, they are all themes that can be present in all the mediums listed and more. People are amazed because anime has so many "sub-genres," but there are no real "sub-genres" to anime because anime is not a genre, and all the genres within it can really be portrayed in other media as well.
When I am asked the question, "Why do I watch anime?" I wonder, is that the correct question to ask. The correct question would be, "Why shouldn’t I watch anime?"
There are people who view it as a genre, who will close their minds to it and refuse to watch it. They think that it is a genre, so they think that they are closing their minds entierly to one thing, but they’re not. They are closing their minds slightly to everything because is a medium in which all genres exist, just as all media are. Close your mind to ANY one of these media, and you close your mind not entirely to one thing, but slightly to everything.
There is a point where all things become one. Anime is just one of those things that exist.
Most animes interest me like Gundam Wing, Ranma, Sailor Moon (at times =P) and so many others because of the music, storyline, etc. But other animes like DBZ, pokemon, Digimon are so stupid and so childish. O_o I must say, they are drawn well, but dude.. o_O Who cares about a bunch of kids running around trying to catch monsters in order to save the universe? O_o;;;
I also watch anime for the kawaii guys. ^-^ Like DUO! And Heero. XD And Tohma, Ryuichi, Shuichi, Yuki, Quatre, Dark Mousy, and.. and.. XD
I like everything about anime:P because it’s soo entertaining.
The characters,The music & themes,The comedy, action, and the most important …..STORYLINE !!
I think that’s all……
I first got into anime to see the porn scenes in the anime movies and de blood. I was also attracted to the matureness that some of the movies had. Now I watch anime cause I like everything about them well, most of them.
you are one sick man, ShadowNINku!!:notgood: :eye: ok…? or is it too hard too take?
Overall, it’s fun to watch!! XD XD XD
