| Why does one watch TV, read a book or go to the theatre?
In my case I like to be entertained and maybe to learn a little something. I don't watch anime as a job, I'm not there to critique or review, nor am I an obsessed devotee. I approach viewing an anime in hope of perhaps enjoying the story, or gain a perspective view I hadn't seen or understood before.
While my hope is too enjoy a particular story, I prevent myself from expecting too much of anything, call it discipline of the mind or the result of being burned by over-expectation in the past, I don't put too much expectation into anime nowadays.
And I have to say while as much as I enjoy anime, I'm far from singularly devoted to the medium as a fetish would require. I'm definitely a fan, but as much as I am of watching movies at the cinema or playing video games.
