Well, if I had to pick one, I'd be pretty down to live in the Pokemon world. Travel around, tame and battle with cool monsters, save the world (which is similar enough to our world), etc...
Most other anime worlds are either no better than the real world, too dangerous, or both. I remember when I was a kid I had big time escapist fantasies for video game/cartoon/anime worlds, thinking the real world was too 'boring...' If you think that, you really haven't looked into how truly amazing the real world is. Our world is more mysterious, beautiful, complex, and mind-blowing than any fictional one could ever hope to be. All the different human cultures, human history, the different environments on Earth, animals, the evolution of life, the nature of space/the universe... There's just no competing with it. |

Also the way I understood it this isn't about competing and it never was. The world would still continue to exist but now had an additional part. hyl: Even if this is only the tip of the iceberg (which is arguable) there are several hundred entries that are perfectly fine.

Gyarados "Once GYARADOS goes on a rampage, its ferociously violent blood doesn’t calm until it has burned everything down. There are records of this POKéMON’s rampages lasting a whole month."" "Once it appears, its rage never settles until it has razed the fields and mountains around it." Kadabra "It is rumored that a boy with psychic abilities suddenly transformed into KADABRA while he was assisting research into extrasensory powers." "It happened one morning - a boy with extrasensory powers awoke in bed transformed into KADABRA." And these are just the tip of the iceberg... edit: Drifloon "It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. It is whispered that any child who mistakes Drifloon for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing. " later edit: Lampent This ominous Pokémon is feared. Through cities it wanders, searching for the spirits of the fallen. It arrives near the moment of death and steals spirit from the body. The spirits it absorbs fuel its baleful fire. It hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on. @eisdrache my guess is that almost 1/4 of the entries are very questionable. Which means if you live in that world atleast several hundreds kinds of pokemon are dangerous to society. (including fatass pokemons who are blocking the only road to certain cities >_>) Now imagine the number of dangerous pokemons in the whole world Like Godzilla rampaging tokyo, but now way more often and done by several people if i have to believe the pokedex Last edited by hyl; 2013-03-04 at 08:53. |

Welcome to NBC News at 9. Tonight's subject is on Poket Monster animal cruelty. In the most recent news, 150 arrests have made last year of organizers of illegal animal-fighting ring of so-called "Pokemon fights". PETA has been campaigning for awareness on this illegal animal cruelty of enslaving sentient creatures, trapping them inside a small ball, and forcing them to brutally fight each other. The reports show unsettling trend of these underground Pokemon trainers starting at very young age, and are raising concerns of ties to gangs and minority violence. Mayer of Los Angels has made a public speech last Friday on the topic of.... When we come back, "The growing threat of piracy on the horizon" and "Vigilantism of magically gifted young women - should this be tolerated or not?". Stay tuned.

There's also the aspect of travel. In a game like Pokemon you can easily go all over the game world, moving where you want, when you want. This type of game is particularly alluring to children who have no way to get around easily on their own. At this point you can go wherever you want, but it's going to cost you. You also have responsibilities that prevent you from just getting up and moving around on a whim. Ah, yes. And each city and town doesn't have its own theme song

It depends on the anime in question: if we're talking about slice-of-life, or something like Tari Tari or K-On!, my world already seems sufficiently close to that. However, I prefer not to live in a world dominated by conflict. Things like Gundam Unicorn or Broken Blade would make life more dangerous than entertaining.

Though in this case the of the first one that comes to mind- the cast of Kokoro Connect (particularly Iori), it can hardly be called world similar to my own what with the body swapping, sudden lack of impulse control, reverse aging etc. That would be more than a little of an annoyance to say the least, but at least I wouldn't be in mortal danger. |

Well at least for most of us. For some NEETs addicted to MMO mileage may vary. If I could use cheat codes in real life with no consequence, I totally freakin' would.

I don't think video games are simply a boredom killing entertainment for everyone. For me, they've always been a form of escapism, same with anime, cartoons, etc. That's kind of the vibe I was getting from this 'I wish anime was real' sentiment to begin with.... |
