This post I came up with, through a conversation that came up with my coworkers at lunch time. Speaking that I am a person who sees anime, which in my days of youth perform cosplay and others; I thought it was a good topic to talk about today. Before responding hastily, I thank the person in a very cordial way. What should I please read this topic first? First of all:
¿What is anime?

The term anime is not known where it actually came from, some say it is a Latin word and some French, but for Japan (where its use was born) it is a word written in three characters of the katakana dictionary: "a", "ni" and "me"; and means animation (in general), and he anime is a cultural phenomenon and entertainment that enjoys great popularity internationally. It is an art that is linked to the manga (Japanese comics), cosplay (the use of costumes) and other disciplines and trends. It is one of the biggest icons of mass culture of this Asian country.
What is its characteristic or how is it identified?

His art is unique, the characters in this style of animation or drawing is the similarity of the representation of human beings with fine features. As well as huge and oval eyes; They seek to reflect human emotions and not cause impacts on the physique such as western drawings in the Disney or Dc comic style. Also for the depth and emotional of their stories through their number of episodes. This is divided into multiple genres just like the movies. These animations are for the public from young to adult with their respective classifications.
Getting to the point!

Although it is very identical to the television series or novels that we see and find in our homes as on the Internet day by day. There are many people who have the wrong idea of this television genre. This is the fault of too many fanatical people, with obsessive hobbies or lack of adult responsibility (this affects in childhood), In Japan this type of person is called Otaku (applies to any area or field from games, music groups, hobby, comics, movies, series, computers, cars, photography, etc.), in essence is a friki, geek or nerd, but also synonymous with fan or anime follower.

Some people take their tastes too far or they are very extreme, like buying a pillow from a character they like, talking all the time like the characters of this genre, all their conversations have to be just anime and their divergent. In a few words perform acts out of context, but that means that I as a person who sees anime "Am I like this or should I behave like that?" Of course not, it's good to have your tastes or want to be happy that way. But, really you must know how to differentiate the real world with the fictional world of the anime, that is, you do not fly or do incredible things as you see in the series.

Something that usually happens with children that animated series are not Japanese or "normal" as some people say. That if the parents do not intervene with these series the child takes attitudes out of context, because really any animated series is Japanese or not, it causes the same excess damage in the infant. Not only is it Japanese, but many people do not understand this. Many times they say that it is the work of the devil, but they are also wrong, this is the work of the human being who does not pay attention to the child.
It only becomes harmful, in excess and there is no one standing of a third party. When they grow up, they become people who do not know how to differentiate the realities and by these people we could call them "Exaggerated", people who had a normal childhood or did not know what he is anime see them with a bad face, this causes when something of Entertainment is seen with excess. This is also caused by people who do not control the content that their children can see, there are young people who see "Hentai" which are Japanese animations for +18 in a few words pornographic animations. When a father catches his son watching this content and when he catches him he asks his name, and obviously the child says "I met him through him anime" and finally the parents think he encourages everything, relatively everything is pornographic. Which, really is not like that. For that there is a classification of content, which usually nobody takes care of in their homes or establishments of sale.

In short, to conclude with all this. The people who see anime really are not sick, as long as you see it as an entertainment or a hobby, as I work, I want to start a family and I still watch the anime. I even go to conventions and I talk a little about this because I like it, but I do not take it as my life or I have to dress like a character to go to work. At the end of the good thing that through some anime teach or show values, and / or you can get to motivate positively as a creative. Apart from being knowledgeable about Japanese culture, you can be motivated to become an illustrator, a designer, a teacher, a translator or another discipline that catches your attention. This is how one takes it. Here I recommend a small list of different series to see if you do not know him anime:
