I have been into anime since 1984 when I was a 4 year old little boy.
It has been a genre of exciting and intriguing events for me.
It is a great way to really start to acknowledge a lot around you from political views to just plain entertainment of the world.
What I am saying this for is it gives you, though it is fiction a good back ground to look up nonfictional events and see the actual reading between the lines it takes to discover truth about topics, discussions, and events that tend to follow upon the world today.
An example is some know some things about organized crime but in a few animes I have watched in my days such as Black Lagoon, I have saw a more distinct pattern that if you study real events based on what you have seen with different names in animes then you can find so much more via internet and books.
It seems to me that the authors of these dramatic stories have really taken a wide eye view to all the things around them to go to the back door and message their meaning a crossed the minds of the people.
However if this is not a possibility and you think anime is just an entertainment purpose then by all means disagree with me.
It is just that I have found this back door observation to be profoundly interesting in my level of learning which has lead me over the years to not turn a weary eye anymore.
Thanks to anime as one of my resources I have discovered that it helped me in a lot of aspects in everyday society to drive me to learn more about real events so I'm not kept in the dark as much anymore.
I encourage you to look more into my discovery.
However do enjoy your anime for they are good graphic and enticing story lines to enjoy too.
That is something worth having in an off chance that boredom strikes.
Anyway to the reader, I thank you for your time and remember to always look at the big picture to see.
