effects...hmmm
I feel wierd sometimes. It's like I sympathize for the characters. Like in Alien Nine (in the last episode) while the credits are rolling, I thought it was just a happy ending and then towards the end they show something shocking...that kept me thinking for a while (somewhat depressed) until I bought the continuation in the manga then I felt relieved.
Or in Popotan eps 9. as well as the Last few episodes of Air. and when Chise's bestfriend died in Saikano. T_T It's only while watching anime (and nothing else) that made me jerk a tear or two.
Ow, It also inspired me to start drawing anime and get involved in various art styles and mediums. I also started learning kanji because they look cool on character designs that I've made. now I'm also the head of our school's Art club because of that.
It also taught me not to judge other people! I mean, I never wanted people to judge me for watching anime.
And it also takes up most of my allowance T_T. I've bought DVDs, VCDs, VHS tapes, as well as all sorts of stuff. I'm even actuall planning to buy a state alchemist pocket watch (well I don't have a watch! killing two birds with one stone!)! I'm also waiting for complete DVD volumes for Eureka 7! If I don't spend it on art materials, food or school related stuff, I definitely spend it on anime.
