I response to Chris Brogan’s 100 Blog Topics I Hope YOU Write, a community I love is the Anime and Gaming community. Even though I don’t consider myself a part of it, because I only casually watch anime and only casually game I still love the community and big part of the why is the type of people that it attracts. Gamers and Anime lovers are some of the nicest and most enthusiastic people ever. I know the rest of the world thinks that these guys are a bunch of introverts, but that is not true; they are friendly and kind and some of the most decent people I know.
Another reason I love the Gaming and Anime community is how passionate they are. I feel that nowadays people, especially younger people are too indifferent. No one is exited about anything anymore, except for Gaming and Anime “nerds”. I love to see how excited my little brother gets when he is talking about an Anime he loves, or hate. I love to see when my friend gets “red in the face” angry because I am beating him at a videogame, and I like the fact that I get angry when I just can’t get past a level in a videogame. Some people might think that’s stupid, but it’s a way better alternative than not having any strong feelings about anything. I think Gamers and Anime lovers have figured out how to liver life well, and I hope one day I will figure it out too.
So to all the Gamers and Anime freaks out there, I love you and never change.
