I understand. You know, I don't mind idealized friendships, love stories, or idealized characters like Hinata or Asuna. I'd love to have girls like Hinata and Asuna, but I know they don't exist. I'll tell you, a lot of anime, manga, and light novels (LNs) are idealized about friendship, love, family relationships, etc. So I prefer to distance fiction from reality, otherwise I'd spoil the pleasure of watching anime, TV series (cartoons, I'm 27 years old) from reality. Also, remember that creators cut a lot of scenes from light novels/manga, even scenes about characters, because, for example, one director dislikes a character and decides to destroy them in the anime. You know what I mean? It's always better to read light novels/manga because they're better than anime. In my country, Poland, light novels are less widely published in Poland than manga, so I don't read many light novels, which is why I enjoy watching anime. I'll tell you, the SAO light novel is better than anime. For example, the creators ruined Ginny and Ron's characters in the movie, with Ron playing a significant role in the plot of the HP book. Have you watched the latest anime: Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku and Yugisaki to Renren?
