I dont get it

Personally I never got into reading manga although I've been decently into anime for years now. I can't speak for anyone else but for me Anime is an escape. It takes my mind off of reality and makes me forget about all my problems. I've used watching Anime to kill time too many times to even count as well as to clear my head of stress, anger and depression. It's all about getting lost in a world of action/fantasy to get my mind off of things personally.
