Happiness, sadness, anger, peace, stress... all of these can be problems in daily life, to some these are everyday, and for others these can be rare. These qualities can be in any, or every moment of someone's day. Thus someone may need something to help them escape, or bring a different emotion to any situation, for me.... This is anime.Anime helps me to get engaged with something and helps me feel a sense of relief. Anime is important to me because it has storylines that I can relate to. Yet these stories may be fictional the deeper meaning of these storylines are more relatable, for instance when one my favorite charecters watched their family die and was the only one to survive and he had flashbacks on how he treated them and found how much he really loved them, This parts deeper meaning is to never hide your emotions, and that any moment with someone or even by yourself could be the last. These storylines have also taught or helped me realize something, for example anime made me realize how much friends really matter to me when i thought i had noone to talk to, when i felt lonely, or even when one of my friends went into a very big part of their lives. There are many ways anime has helped me through the stressful times and helped me realize some important things in life. In this, I feel everyone should have something they can relate to to help them or even cheer them up.
