Imagine a world where people do not talk. They communicate with just their hands and body movement. Creepy right? Talking is an important part of communication, and also, can be a saviour in times of troubles.
Over the years, most people have gained many experience to understand that, in life, when you solve one problem, another comes up out of the blue. Troubles are lurking around, not in the shadows but in broad day light.
There are different illicit things going on in the world currently. People get raped, physically abused, and even kidnapped and ended in worst cases.
Though I am not much of a talker, but if I get kidnapped and thrown off of the cars window a couple of minutes later because i could not stop talking, the one thing i will be talking about at that moment which will make the kidnappers throw me out will be anime.
Lol, weird yeah?
A lot of people hate anime, mainly those set of people that think they are smarter and more mature than everyone.
Sometimes, when I post any anime video on my WhatsApp status, most of my contact list will begin to send me some silly messages. When I talk about anime, the look I get from people is pretty funny.
The image above is a reply I got on my WhatsApp status, when I posted an anime compilation.
Based on this, I will talk a lot about anime, increase my energy even when I am told to keep quite, and also, try as much as possible to create imaginary anime characters in the kidnappers head.
Though boring and too cartoon-ish to other people, I feel great ajd happy when i am watching an anime.
I used to be like that, the person who feels anime is cartoon and I am old enough to stop watching things like that. I used to form the bigger man who sees watching all those things as a waste of time, energy and resources until i met my cousin.
My cousin is almost 30, even as old as he is, he watches anime during his free times. He introduced me to an anime named hunterXhunter but skepticism was written all over me. I tried to decline the offer when he invited me to watch but he insisted. After a long time disagreeing to agree, I reluctantly gave in and sat on the couch to watch the anime.
The anime started with Gon, the main character. He was fishing and got a very big catch. The storyline of the anime is about a boy called Gon. His father left him at a very young age to join the hunters association. Based on this, Gon impulsively joined the hunters association so he can reunite with his father and answer some questions he had. The path was no easy for him as he faced ups and downs. During his struggles, he met a boy named Kilua who will later then out to be Gons best friend and partner.
After we finished HunterXhunter, I became subconsciously drawn to anime. Before I realized what was happening, I started another anime named Naruto. Every single minute, I was in front of a screen, watching Naruto.
Naruto talks about a boy, who lost his parents to a nine tailed fox during his birth. To ave the village, his father sealed the fox inside the boy before he died.
This made people from the village hate the boy, and they never want to associate with him. He was despised and was left alone. Gradually, the boy rose to the top with sheer will and determination. After a long and stressful ride throughout his life, he was accepted by the people and became their leader.
Though it may have a good storyline, trust me, you do not want a real fan of Naruto to happily tell you about the anime. There is always this uncontrollable excitement that comes with it, which will make you feel like the person explaining the anime to you I a weirdo and you want to do every thing to shut them up.
This is how I began to know about anime and gradually, I have watched many anime and will still watch lots more.
