Human life consists of 5 phases (newborn baby, child, teenage, adult and old age)
We usually start with anime in the second stage – Child.
A child watches whatever cartoons or animation he/she can get hands-on. This includes TV programs, TV cartoons and DVD’s and CD’s our parents brings for us.
This is the initial state where we truly feel Anime is different from others. The animation style, colors, voices and stories captivate us to watch more.
Moving a few years we step into teenage. Here we select our favourite shows and continue watching them on day-to-day bases.
When I was a teen my favourite animé/cartoons were Beyblade, Doraemon, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach and more.
When I grew into an adult I started deep diving into other shows – Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Persona, Highschool of the dead, Monsters, Lain and the list goes on.
I was 22 when I realised Anime is something that connects me. It is something I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life. I cherish this form of entertainment and keep it with me forever and ever.
