If you look around in various types of anime series. Especially anime without dark jokes or psychology genres. For example in anime school, drama, slice of life, comedy, action, shounen, fantasy, etc. Many otakus and weeaboos have a dream about how beautiful the anime world is. In fact, not infrequently many people want to move into the world of anime. Because the reality of life they live is not as beautiful as what is described in the anime.
Well, is it true that the reality of Japanese life is as beautiful as what is depicted in the anime series ?. Here's a full explanation.
Life in anime and in the real world
Here are some life pictures in anime that many Japanese otaku crave out there. Let's just say below is a brief summary of the scenes in the anime or you can say this is anime logic.
Happy and have fun in school life
In romance school and comedy anime, School is often depicted with a happy and lucky life. Boys easily chatting with girls. Laughing, going to events together. Both those who study in vocational, and high school all look happy and enjoy their easy times. Is the reality in Japan the same ?.
Of course not, most Japanese people are individualists, rarely open with other people. There is only learning and working.
In the reality of your school life, for example. Is your life running smoothly and straight like in the romance school anime story ?. Certainly not right, full of misfortune and badluck that almost come every time. The genre of life at your school is mostly action, tragedy, horror, thriller, and psychology 😆.
Many beautiful women around the neighborhood
In the world of anime-manga, so many types of female personalities that exist from various types of professions and ages. All of them have one thing in common, that is, they are all beautiful and kawaii. Women and men in the anime-manga series are depicted well and perfectly (according to the tastes of weeaboos). The bad ones are rare, only in old school comedy anime.
Try to compare girls in anime with your real life. Are they the same as your imagination ?. Of course not bro. Reality is sometimes not as beautiful as your expectations.
Easy for someone to get along
In anime that doesn't have a sad story, there is described how easy it is for people to get along. Greet each other both at school, in public places, and at work.
Is the reality in Japan like that ?. Of course not, the reality is much different. In Japan. Privacy is very strict, people don't know how to say hello and greet each other with stranger. Many people are individualist.

☑ Difference between anime ova, ona, and oad
☑ Benefits and side effects of shounen anime
Easy to find a job
In anime school life, we meet many students who find it so easy to find part time jobs. Morning until noon at school, afternoon until night at work, then go home and sleep.
Is reality in the real world like that ?. Most don't, of course you're not strong enough to do a part time job and have a school life both ways. In the end, you have to ask your parents for money.
Eat a lot but stay healthy
In a shounen anime full of fighting action. The main character who has super strength is usually described as a person who is so greedy. They eat so much they can eat up to 100 servings. Is this real ?.
Only people who are not in their right mind agree that events in anime can be applied in the real world. In fact, most people can only eat one or two servings. The rest only people who usually eat a lot can. And of course they will be obese or overweight. Not so strong and muscular like shounen anime characters who eat a lot.
Talk no jutsu
In anime, many protagonists when faced with enemies always lecture them. In the fight 3 episodes non-stop containing lectures that can change the character of the existing villain.
Does this happen in the real world ?. Of course not, very few succeeded, the rest died. If you meet criminals, and continue to lecture them, if you don't get shot you are lucky.
Have a strong physique
The characters in the anime are mostly strong. Got hit, hit by a truck, didn't scream in pain at all. They only held his hands and shoulders. While looking at the person who beat him without the slightest pain.
Does this apply in the real world?. Obviously not, if you get hit, it will hurt. Not like in the story depicted in the anime. The more cornered, the stronger the persecuted mc. In the real world, your plot armor isn't as thick as in the anime character.
The power of friendship
Is it true that the power of friendship can help you when there are difficulties, like in the anime-manga?. The answer to this one is relative. Maybe yes, and maybe no. Depends on how loyal friends you have. Because in the real world, if there is a big problem. Usually your friends will distance themselves from you. They only come to you when they need it, for example when they want to borrow money.
Super powers
In the anime-manga we also meet characters who have many types of superpowers. There is one punch and one hit the planet immediately destroyed. Some can get lightning out of their hands. Can breathe fire, can fly freely without tools, control water. And many others.
As for this super power, in the real world, most of it is just a hoax and myth. Humans cannot escape the laws of nature. If you want to be strong, you have to make an effort. For example, exercising, eating healthy foods, becoming rich, and having qualified technology. Like Batman, he has a superpower called wealth 😆. i am rich batman say.
Such is the comparison of reality in anime life and in the real world. The fact is that life in anime is just a fiction, exaggeration or hyperbole. All forms of events contained in anime do not reflect the lives of Japanese people at all. Even if there is, it's just a little. Because basically anime is made as a means of entertainment, as well as promotion for some products, tourist attractions, or government work programs.
