My Anime Life


So it all began back when I was in 8th standard. I was a quiet and introverted guy who used to speak with only one or two other guys and they were kinda friends to me. Staying quiet all the time, listening to lectures, studying and getting lost in my own imagination of cartoons used to take most of my day. I was a boring guy whose only interest was in cartoons which I used to watch in my good old days. Most common types coming those days were Shinchan, Doraemon, Ben 10 and blah blah... But the ones which took most of my interest were Idaten Jump, Zatchbell and Pokemon. Man, I loved them a lot and always used to draw those characters.

Later, in 11th standard a new show named Dragonball Z started airing on Toonami channel. I started watching this show everyday for half an hour and later I realized that I had been addicted to this show. I started searching about it on the internet and found many sources which show cartoons like this..(yeah, Dragonball Z was a cartoon for me back then.xD). I found a black and white book filled with dbz characters and the dbz story. As I started reading it, I got addicted to it too.. and later realized that this thing is known as Manga and it's Anime that I am watching not a cartoon. After I finished it, I was kinda feeling depressed that I have nothing to watch now..so I started my research and found that this show has a different backstory too. Then I started watching the backstory but the strict schedule was still the same, half an hour per day. I used to search a lot about Anime and found it very interesting. But then came the 12th standard and I had to leave all this cause I was preparing for jee.

After I finished my 12th and all the entrance exams I was introduced to a guy in SRM who's bigger fan of Anime than me.. He introduced me to many good Anime that I never heard of..(Anime is all it takes for Otakus to be friends :D) I started watching a lot of Anime in my free time and finished series one by one. I found that I am addicted to this thing and not even a single day of mine goes without watching Anime. I have covered a lot of series till now and I have learned a lot from them.

Along with the dose of entertainment, Anime is also something which teaches me a lot about Life. Yahari Ore no Sheishun Love Comedy is a must watch for you all. Each and every episode of every single Anime tells you something deep. The lessons I get from Anime are very deep and not something simple like Hardwork is the key to success and blah blah.. Whenever I watch an anime I connect myself to it's story & when I finish it I feel kinda sad that I can no longer be a part of this journey. Anime stories are very deep and the best. Perhaps I can say that Anime is the best thing I've seen and experienced in my life. I still am amazed that how japanese people can create so good stories in each and every single Anime. It's like they have this thing in their mind 'The best or nothing'. I love their creativity in Anime. I wish to go to Japan one day and explore it's rich heritage and meet my favourite anime authors if possible ;).

We Otakus are comfortable being 'weird'.

1. Dragonball

Dragonball is one of the greatest anime produced by Akira Toriyama. The series is about childhood of Son Goku, a strong naive boy living alone in a forest. This mysterious monkey-tailed boy possessed a golden heart and an enormous power which even he is unaware of. The story becomes interesting when he meets a girl Bulma and joins her to gather all the seven Dragon balls. Son realizes that he is not strong enough to fight the greedy guys like 'Pilaf gang' and their hurdle 'The Red Ribbon Army' who want Dragon Balls just to fulfill their greedy needs. He meets chichi after saving her village who desired to marry him in future. Goku undergoes rigorous training regimes under the martial artist Kame(Mr. Roshi) in order to fight in the Tenkaichi Budokai that attracts the most powerful fighters in the world. A monk named Kuririn becomes his training partner and rival, but they soon become best friends. After the tournament, Goku sets out on his own to recover the Dragon Ball his grandfather left him and encounters the Red Ribbon Army. He almost single-handedly defeats the army, including their hired assassin Taopaipai, whom he originally lost to before, but after training under the hermit Karin, now easily beats. Kuririn is killed after the tournament and Goku tracks and is defeated by his killer, Piccolo Daimao. Goku then begins his battle with Piccolo Daimao, who, just before dying, spawns his son Piccolo. Goku trains to beat his son in the next tournament which he does after facing lot of pain and struggle in an epic battle.
