BLOG POST #2: ANIME ADDICT

I've been thinking why do people addicted to anime? Is it good or bad? Is it bad because it has some effect to the people whose addicted to it? 

Based on the information that I gathered Anime is really addicting. And the best example to described this addiction are the people who call themselve as Otaku. Other example are the poeple who love cosplaying the anime character that they really like. Anyone who loves anime would probably agree with that statement. It was like falling in love. 

There are some steps before you become a anime addict. First, you'll know the title. If it's quite catchy then you'll search for its plot or story flow. When you become interested enough, the addiction starts. You'll fall in love with the story as well as the characters. You will start to watch it every day thus you'll become addicted to it. There are some Otakus who buys CD or download every eposide of those certain anime just to watch it everyday. For the reason that most people whose addicted to anime are students. They need to study first before they can watch their favorite anime but there are some who neglected their studies just to watch their favorite anime which is the bad effect of it.

I had been reading a lot of articles but this article is one of my choices and this article entitled Why is Anime Addicting? By: Henry Hsieh because this article basically explain why people are becoming addicted to anime and it is also related to my article. I summarized his article and just got some thoughts of it:

Sad life is sad! if you are not watching those lovable and cute anime. But there are also many people who are addict to anime and we can prove that by saying that in a way of other people make anime as a center of their lives. Not only cigarettes and alcohol can be addicting, anime can be addicting too. People who are addicted to anime are can be called otaku, however, There are also who do nothing all day but watch anime, think about anime, When a person think
about anime, a person can do, is to watch and watch those anime. After that they are buying some stuff that related to anime. As we can see they're totally and undeniably addicted to anime and who can blame them? Anime is just about one of the most addicting things in the world. But what makes it so addicting?

Base on my experience pokemon is one of the anime that I considered myself as an addicted. Pokemon is one of the most famous anime in my childhood. I've been addicted to it since the first day that I saw it on television. Who would not love the adventure of Ash and his friends? The pokemons are really cute! Pikachu, Charmander and Cyndaquil are my most favorites among the other pokemons. Not only that, the story is quite unique too and tat what make it catchy. It portrays how the friendship between Ash and his friends with their pokemons lead them to victory. I was too engaged with watching animes that I didn't notice that my grades are gradually falling which is also a bad sign for being an anime addict. But unlike the others, I didn't become too depressed instead I did my best to correct that mistake and improve myself. I study harder and decreased the time allotted for watching anime just to save my falling grades.

Another article entitled Anime Addicts Satisfy Their Thirst With 'Evangelion Water Body' Bottles by Steve Levenstein this article is an example of being an anime addict. It is a bottle that form as a body of an anime.

Why do people need to make this kind of bottle??? What is the purpose of this? This is laziness.

In this article, it says that this bottle is an experimentation base on the body of there favorite anime.

I think this is not good to the people who are obsessed to anime, because instead of studying they're thinking of other stuff like how they can buy this kind of anime bottle who have the same figure of their favorite anime. You are just wasting you're money in those stuffs.

In my conclusion, watching or loving anie is not that bad if you know how to limit yourself. Remember, Do not make Anime as your life and forget the most special things in your life like your family and studies. Manage your time, like balancing the time you allotted for your study and for your watching anime.
