After binge-watching, one might become more tolerant, but anime logic often remains absurd and incomprehensible.
6. Endless Viewing
Having 100 episodes is a lot? In Western shows, this is completely normal. However, with anime, it's tenfold. It's not difficult to find anime series with up to 1000 episodes, along with numerous arcs and seasons. And that's not even counting spin-offs, side stories, and even movies split into series.
The length of anime series often intimidates many fans from watching them from start to finish because they're too long. However, this doesn't really deter the hardcore fans of these super long anime series because the reality is that such anime series usually have a lot of viewers. They're willing to watch dozens of episodes every day and demonstrate their passion no different from sports fans.
7. What Kind of Training is This?
Training to level up is a common occurrence in anime. Many times, within just 2 minutes, viewers witness characters training for days, weeks, months, or even decades in the universe. After this time, the character becomes stronger than their previous level, reaching unimaginable heights. While training is undoubtedly grueling and puts the character face-to-face with deathly challenges, the results are undeniable.
While entertaining to watch, such training methods are quite unrealistic in real life. The obvious issue is the condensed time to invent new techniques, even for those studying martial arts, sports, or music.
8. How old is this kid?
Anime often features main characters as teenagers, young adults, or even children. Plots usually revolve around school friendships, love, or dramatic showdowns. The main characters are usually young, as they need ambition and motivation to reach the top.
The story of the young is often fun but also illogical. Characters often possess unmatched strength but frequently find themselves in danger, despite being relatively young. Additionally, there's no reason why a 15-year-old kid should have a six-pack. But that's not important because being youthful makes them appealing.
9. Death isn't that important
Though not frequent, its occurrence is enough to pose an issue. Anime characters, especially the main ones, often miraculously escape peril in a magical and illogical manner. Even antagonists, heroes, or anyone else can be brought back, reincarnated, or continue living as spirits.
Cheating death is somewhat illogical, yet somewhat acceptable to anime fans. Normally, anime series would be much shorter if main characters were killed off and never brought back. Although unrealistic, resurrection is also a wish fulfillment for many and adds to the allure of anime.
10. Appeasing Fans with Flesh Appeal
Anime always adds a 'flesh appeal' factor to attract audiences. For female characters, short skirts and large breasts are the perfect combo. Male characters are often depicted with ripped abs and frequently shirtless. Nude characters usually have fewer accessories covering their bodies. Additionally, anime occasionally introduces some perverted characters.
The presence of sexy characters in anime is now quite common. It's understandable to attract fans, but some series overdo it, making viewers feel disgusted and nauseated. Moderation is always best.
