Hardcore Otaku
It has been a week I didn’t get out of my room except for eating time.
When I am at home, I have this spoiled lifestyle. Sometimes, I do not even wash my dishes. So, what am I doing in the room the whole time? Of course, I am watching anime.
The reality is very slow-paced and dull. It is very boring. I enjoy the different possible worlds anime brings to me. By watching anime, and reading manga and novels, I can be in a super-human society fighting villains. I can be in apocalypse worlds trying to survive. Sometimes, I am solving mysterious cases. Then, I am together with a person who travels here and there observing the state of the world. I can be with a super ambitious person giving all of his to achieve his dream. Sometimes, I am in a myth watching gods and demons fight. Later, I go on space adventures. After that, I am in a magic world enjoying colorful magical battles. It is endless. It is a world of wonder.
Not only such amazing worlds, but there are also many astonishing characters. Characters with unique personalities and skills, problems they are trying to solve, their sufferings, their struggles, everything about them is beautiful. Sometimes, I wonder how can some people craft such beautiful fictional universes? So beautiful that you want to give all of you. Yes, I love homo fictus more than homo sapiens. They are simply too beautiful.
In my 21 years of life, I have watched more than 120 anime. I watched more than 8500 episodes. Consider each episode is 24 minutes long. I spent more than 204,000 minutes (3400 hours) of my life watching anime. Do I feel regretful? Nope! Not a single bit of regrets in my cells regarding the matter.
I am looking forward to more great anime. I love them very much.
Adult? Responsibilities? Accountabilities? I am not ready for them yet.

After a great anime ended, “emptiness” is a normal feeling and “What am I supposed to do with my life?” is a normal question. However, you continue to live your life with the solitude and sorrow on your back. At this point, I think I spent more than 5500 hours of my life watching anime. Being able to spend my time on such creations known as anime is my great pleasure in life. {May 22, 2021}
