What "romanticism"? Are you saying that humans can't be bred to be more beautiful than mere desk jockeys and lab rats, and that everything in art has always been nothing more than fantasy? Are you saying no one has ever lived and died gloriously, on their own terms? That no one has ever been strong and free enough to do that? I pity you, if that's the case. Life has become fantasy to you — that's how alienated from yourself, how pathetic you've become.

Life offers so much more than what can be found in the modern urban landscape. Humans are malleable: we can be shaped to believe in anything, to become passionate for anything. Physiologically and cognitively, we are devastating when we are nurtured to be, free to be, determined to be. We've built and destroyed empires, we've become geniuses and masterminds, we've conquered arts of our own creation and lived out the most exotic adventures that even movies have yet to hear of. We've experienced the greatest joys, horrors and sorrows of any animal on earth and have produced the most refined images and melodies as a result. We invented the very notion of the story, it is a notion completely unique to us, like music. So do you REALLY think that this democratic shithole of a world full of obese and wimpy fucking retards that we keep alive thanks to endless pills is all there is or can be?

This world that we live in is the result of POOR MANAGEMENT and nothing else. It is not what life is about. It doesn't do justice to life. It is a shit heap, with nothing inspiring about it or to look forward to in it. People are driven for nothing other than their own small and petty comfort and consider every other drive to be a matter of mere fantasy like you do. The world will only become more congested, grayer, and uglier thanks to your type, which is the common (read: mediocre, shallow, cowardly) type.

Not /lit/ but you're half right. It's not a love for anime, but a love for Japanese things, which marks men of culture today.
