As a grown person that is highly addicted to anime and still can function in the real world I say the absolute best stories and entertainment comes from it and that is precisely what makes it soo addictive. You don't hear about grown men literally addicted to cartoons or tv shows besides the basic keeping up with certain series. People ruin their wholes loves watching anime and that's because the stories are amazing a far surpass anything on normie tv. I guarantee could get most normies addicted to anime after getting to know them and recommending three anime to them and if they actually watched them. It's great but you've got to take it in moderation. I've probably watched over 500 series not including movies.
