Entertainment - i mean, what else is there to it? XD
Not as though anime is my only source of it after all.
I also read plenty YA books and watch Asian Dramas.
Although~
Lately its gotten a bit more important.
Since ive made friends on Anilist thanks to it :)
On the minus, something that turns me into a lazy bone.
Honestly, just a break from reality, to experience a world that a passionate person created and just as passionate team that decided to elevate that into animation. Even though that does seem quite cheesy
If I were to say it in the most less corniest way possible would be it is an escape from reality into a unique world unlike your own, such as other mediums like games, books and comics/manga do as well ^-^
For me anime is my life.......its like oxygen to my body like in a day i should at least see around 15-20 episodes minimum,which i do everyday or my day is incomplete.
Just entertainment for when I'm bored. But also for inspiration. I want to write a book, and anime (along with others) is what drives my creativity and coming up with new ideas.
