Do you base your every day life off of anime and life unconsciously weaves itself around the topics often discussed in animes. Or do you believe all animes is based off of our history in Planet Earth

I feel like these aren't mutually exclusive options, and both (or neither) can be true at once... that said... I don't think anime weighs that deeply in my life other than being a source of entertainment. and anime is certainly a reflection of "real life"... even if it's just the manifestation of human fantasy, and not strictly based off of historical precedent.

We appreciate evenings shaped by trust and shared discovery. Moments feel unhurried and filled with curiosity. At the center of these memories are Escorts Delhi, providing warmth and genuine connection. Each encounter feels personal and quietly adventurous.

I mean you can't base most anime's on real life and usually art takes inspiration on events that already occurred so it's safe to say they are mutually exclusive

anime is inspired by real life not the other way around, if real life were inspired by anime we would all have giant eyes, multi colored hair and speak in japanese.

huh, I thought this would actually be an interesting and intelligent discussion on anime's impact on culture and zeitgeist, but here comes the pointless esoteric pseudo-philosophic bullshit again...
