I am also a closet anime watcher.. I am a "Honors Student" that is also a freshman and play Varsity RB in football.
It just feels weird because every friend I have is a shallow freak. It is just easier to make it my guilty pleasure (anime not hentai, hentai is some real serious guilty pleasure)
I am wierd as hell, I got into hentai because I wanted more depth in my favorite animes. Then I played an "H" Game and liked it. Made best friends with torrents, and now my computer's HDD is full.
I remember watching my first anime, it was FLCL. I had never been more interested in it. Anime has multiple levels that you can analyze. Skin deep an anime can just be some hilarious stuff with a bit of sexual appeal. But, then you can notice the theme behind the individual show. Then notice that the hilarious shit was setting up a suicide for the next episode.
I liked much more than the shitty sit-coms on here. Then in my life there really is no time to enjoy a book with all the noise in my home (proud owner of earphones). So anime is a nice escape to the stress on my life, mostly maintaining a good social image while trying to keep from being a douchebag. Which brings me back to my point: I do not want to look like the douchebag who gets warm fuzzies when some jap bass guitarist starts doing something towards the middle or end of an anime and something awesome happens in the show.
I enjoy it-others think is immature.
it is life.
Wow that was very well said, and I agree with you completely.
