Unlocking realities passion is all about stopping the mad search for it. In the world of Otaku there is no better way for passion to come to the person, since the shows creators main purpose is to connect with the viewer and a passion is connected to a feeling or reaction that feuls a burning desire to do things, and what is easier than being a fan? not many things. The idea that being a fan is the only way to passion is a easily obtainable idea of passion.
Pressure begins when your small and asked for a most favorite number one thing for food, sometimes for music, and sometimes for movies. When you graduate from highschool you are asked for a major in college and the plan to use it afterwards. Being judged in your job when people ask if they are doing their passion as their day to day job and judged harshly on it, when most passions are emotionally supportive hobbies instead of career paths. Since passion is a feeling, even when people are doing their passion for a job it slowly deteriorates and becomes a job and not a passion anymore, because of the lack of emotional connection to the work, there are extremely rare cases where someone is comfortably and emotionally connected to their job at all points of the day, but its not everyone. Otaku have a particular burning passion for their love of a series for a number of reasons. A love for characters in design in story, appearance, and decisions. This destroys the idea that life has a singular passion that drives ones life till death, this destroys a search for a single passion and looks for multiple passions as in fandom, this allows a freedom of not excluding possibility and throwing away a life long pressure to “do what we love” as a single and “do everything that we love” as the message. It strays away from the negative focus of searching and looking and more of a feeling of exploration and team work towards fun sort of attitude. But it doesn't stop there with unlocking of ideas, otaku seem to have a link to fandom unlike many other groups of fans for its creative process of being a fan in drawing, sewing, painting, writing, and dealing with the creative arts. Fandom seems to pass on into simple obsession of desiring to learn more, into a belief of possibilities of creative methods, into a idea that almost anything can be visualized into pictures, into knowing that what is shown on screen is simply what a storyteller wants you to see in a certain way. This makes alot of hobbies, cultures, and information seem like a whole new world of stuff to keep a person entertained with in perspective. The movements in anime is always emphasized to bring attention to particular moments and making beautiful imagery that truly bring a viewers emotions out. It adds emotional feels that make story points not boring to the viewer and make people feel like they are the friend of the character themselves. The most memorable shows will be the ones that connect the best with the person and if everything works well and the stars align a new passionate fan will be made. Not all effects are bad nor good from the exposure of Animanga, after a brutal inner battle it is often times a symbol of awakened passion, conflicting hardships of motivational meaning, and realizations of self identification as well as self worth. There are two schools of thought when seeing otaku based on the way a otaku decides to live. The first type is the one that uses the creative hobbies to strengthen their identity and perspective in which case people on the outside will see the person as outgoing and shy at the same time with a respect to creative desires. The second type is the one that uses series as a collection and psychological escape in which people see the otaku as a weirdo who they question is in touch with the real world. Regardless of which way an otaku decides to live there is always the option to take steps into a beneficial direction if the otaku themselves decide to do so. Facing the personal history and confronting what was previously experienced in a positive and creative light is essentail and important to moving forward. Identifying personal desires while looking over the ideas of the positive and negative results of each desire can help realization and awareness of what the effects of the named desires create in a particular preference as well as perspective of importance on the person. This ultimately forms the values of the person and understanding from the inside out. When watching a multitude of animanga and exposing one self to many series it will eventually come the question of what emotions are the creators pulling to make feels. What are things that are attractive, what are things that are sad, what brings happiness, what makes a easy to hate villain, what makes a likeable hero and so on. The analysis that makes all fans a critic in their own mind is apart of understanding likes and dislikes in a challenge of understanding passion in its smallest and biggest of forms. As stated before, passion is a feeling and many animanga stories connect with those feelings that bring out passion, if the passion goes externally into more than a conversation is based on the individual, and yes, that makes the individual know that all feelings of passion have different heights and can change at a moments notice. This leads to understanding the feelings of self desires and outcomes that eventually lead to passion. This can create a type of respect or bond to others who choose the same things to desire or show passion for. It can bring out Admiration of those with a similar perspective and people each have their own eyes to see positive life choices in their actions and results. Its a gateway back from talking about feeling unbound and that means a feeling of creating a path through decisions linked to passion. Everyone is trying to grasp what is important and understand why things are decided on other than feelings alone, so grasping the conscious of reality that is confronting decisions in life, ultimately give life a meaning the person only can see. To communicate passion and comprehend others passions in its unique and tailored way. The key to reality is grounded in the meaning that the person gives it, the definition of what events mean, what objects mean, what stories mean is all apart of the process. It is equally overwhelming in decisions of meaning and underwhelming as life moves slowly until all things are given a definition by the persons belief. It can lead to a bumpy and stressed out notion if taken in all at the same time for all things in life instead of a one by one process put on queue. This is diversified by the number of personalities of roles we all play. In different situations people bring on different personalities with different actions they wouldn't do if placed with different people or in a different place. Acting with family is different from being a student at school in a class. How someone acts at work in a kitchen is different then when they hang out with friends at the convention. This shows that individuals have a role to play and are all actors in their own story lines, no one acts just as one person, so its important to bring to light to never forget who the real you is. That being said it is tackled the hardest when being alone that all the values are chiseled to defined meanings of existence. Our relationships with others is refined in this way when there is a time of privacy between the individuals in the relationship. It is painstakingly brought by the person who lives the life of that reality to understand what is worth living for.
