But there's nothing wrong about it. Sure you're massive weeb, but anime design for any, say, character encompasses what's most visually important and attractive for us: eyes, hair, boobs, figure, legs (anime design of humans have bit more skewed body proportions in favour of legs). Anime characters rarely have, for instance, well drawn nose, for nose isn't really that attractive and important to us

>tfw I randomly started visualizing characters as anime 700pgs into The Magic Mountain

>tfw you imagine books based on how you would make them as movies.

Moby Dick was a top anime

Honestly I can't imagine moby dick in any form other than a book
I went to see a moby dick play that was 3 hours, once. It wasn't the essence of the book at all, just a bunch of actors acting scenes from the book.

Can't relate; I don't read

That's how you know something is a truly good book, when it can't be emulated in any other media.

I know exactly what you mean. I find I can't even watch movies anymore.. I can't "see" the screen at all since every picture is translated into literary prose automatically in my mind. The experience is almost indistinguishable from actually reading book, but at the same time I know it's not a book. How to escape this? I want to see the screen/pictures like everyone else.

Stop thinking in words. Become an NPC.

>visualizing what I'm reading as anime
This sounds awesome. How do I do?

>>11815799
Ulysses is pretty great when you imagine it as a slice of life anime

focus in the details that can’t be transferred from medium to medium

I used to visualize things as minecraft when what I was reading in middle school was boring.

I visualize as tumblr western cartoons

Whenever I read something, I will almost automantically translate words or concepts to pictures (sometimes images of famous people, sometimes objects I'm acquainted with). This is why I have a high difficulty comprehending highly abstract concepts that cannot actually be related to visuals. If I cannot somehow picture some kind of scene, or at least some kind of graph, I can't really think of something as actually existing.
This is why I can't imagine what God must be like.

I read the Iliad and imagined it as a Genndy Tartokovsky style cartoon.

God? Easy - big grand pappa rappa with long ass beard.

That's what I call the people's god, the one that was painted by Michelangelo, but it's not the God Aquinas, Descartes, or Spinoza believed in.

Nothing wrong with that.

I visualise everything as animals. Dogs, cats, whatever

When I was reading Lolita I could only see Lolita herself as an anime character. I've never had this happen with anything else.
I guess it was because I couldn't imagine a sexy 12-year old, but could imagine a sexy anime girl, who more or less all look about 12 years old anyway.

What is that image trying to convey

>>11815847
Explain the diagram pls

this is me except I don't always see the picture as if it was film. sometimes I might be looking at an animation of a pointilism painting or something drawn by a realist in oils moving about.
