[...] Everyone noticed the ‘H’ twist in Gatakei. Yes, despite what society teaches us, girls can be every bit as perverted; the only difference is that there is more social pressure for them to keep it under wraps. Rumors including the ‘slut’ word spreads faster than epidemics and often wreck havoc within your social networks. This is especially true in the otaku world, one known for its purity obsession that raises unnecessary dorama. [...]

The one taking this entire issue too seriously, is the same person who wrote this very article. Realism is not required in works of fiction, for them to have a satisfying amount of depth. You generalized your own opinion, presenting it as the opinion of the socially adept and mentally matured. NEWSFLASH: You are not required to be a socially-challenged, single male in his late 20s, to enjoy unrealistic, silver-lined, overly-optimistic works. To me these qualities are the very foundations, which make anime so enjoyable to watch. I enjoy it because it is unrealistic. I get a kick out of situations I couldn’t possibly experience in my social life. Insinuating that people such as myself, are all immature, is in itself an immature way of thinking.

Of course anime is not directed at adults. To call it a niche medium for only children and otaku is somewhat of an exaggeration. To call it simply an investment oppertunity is a bit too cynical. When it boils down, of course it’s about money. But that doesn’t mean that it must revolve completely around monetary values. No. Anime is an oppresive medium, sure. Fan-expectations often cause them to conform to strict, working formulas. This discourages originality, which eventually causes the system to collapse. Of course, all forms of media, as long as it is fiction, is virtually the same.

Anime is not as ‘artistic’ of a medium as a westerner would claim it to be. Far from it. It is a style, a ‘form’, and that is all it is. Same as all other ‘forms’, it will be influenced by fanbase, it will be forced to conform. Those that break the spiral will be critiqued for their originality. It can be humorous, It can be dramatic. But to label it as ‘niche titles’ is a bit far, would you not agree? It is varied, with many, many different genres. Thus, there really is no single label that you could apply to it, other than restrictive, conformist, and diverse. Somewhat self-convicting, but true.
