If you grew up watching anime, it was entirely possible that you liked a character so much that it made you feel... well, funny inside. The combination of pleasing aesthetics and well developed personality resulted in a character that felt fully realized, and before you knew it, it dawned on you that you just might have a crush on that character. You told yourself that that's ridiculous; it's just a cartoon character, right? But then you fell into those big eyes and realized that you're no longer a kid anymore. Thanks Japan.
7. When Things Get Too Weird Even For You
Anime can be pretty weird sometimes, and everyone who watches it knows that. Watch enough series and you get used to it to the point where you convince yourself that nothing can freak you out anymore. However, eventually you will come across something so disturbingly bizarre that even you can't help but curl up in the fetal position for fear that your sanity will be compromised. The Japanese sure do have a wide range of imagination, and that's why we love 'em.
