ahhh
people hear about too many sad things in life, so their only way to escape reality would be though anime!

That's a tragedy within itself. Tis patheic if you can't handle reality.

Chemical brain imbalances are fun.

... then we watch that that tragedy and build a subculture around it.

I like Azu Manga Daioh...It's about these girls that go to this japanese school. I only have volume 1 on dvd so I don't know much about it I guess...

Reality sucks.

Who wants to watch reality when they are already living it? All those reality shows are scripted and edited.

As for anime, anime can depict reality, but it will never be something like of "real life." It's drawn, colored, framed.

Nothing, except that the characters are drawn and animated.

what's wrong with that? i'd rather see an animated character die of starvation in GRave of the fireflies then a real girl

my point exactly. You'd rather see an animated girl die than a real girl.

i'd rather think about the horror of a poor girl suffering because of a war than laugh at how crappy the effects look.
