Who is the anime character who gone the fastest in an anime ?

I wondered this Anime also counted too, title is "Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

At episode one, he passed away(?) after trying to save a vending machine, then he reborn as a vending machine 😅

His real name as human never mention in Anime and only known as Hakkon (JP) or Boxxo (EN) in vending machine form. 

It's interesting Anime and very recommended to watch !

Why do most anime come from manga ?

Because they want to make sure their anime production able to gain revenues or profits from popularity of manga. Making an animations is not a cheap thing.

So their business mindset is if the manga very popular and selling well, so their Anime production may have same chance as well.

So not all manga have same chance to be make into their anime version. Some manga may still remained in manga version because less popularity, bad sales or other reasons.

Same goes with Anime figures and merchandises, their productions also depending with both niches popularity as well.

It's working similar like Domino effect.

Why American comics not as popular as Japanese comics or anime series ?

 American comic has their own niche and strong fanbase different with Japanese manga.

That's the reason why American comic example like Marvel and DC still exist since past time until today. Recent Marvel and DC heroes movies also helping their comic popularity and increasing their own fanatic fans as well.

But the bad thing about American comics is they more less variations genres than Japanese comics. Most of popular American comics always related with superhero theme.

About superhero theme comic, Japan also following American comic example. But American comics still hold the crown by their giant franchises and strong fanatic bases around the world.

Disney comics also very popular as well and known among their fans, example like Carl Barks Scrooge McDuck comics.

Why am I very attracted to anime girls than real ones ?

It’s because Anime girls are made pretty, perfect and ideal for everything, it’s so different with the real one. It’s something what authors, animators and producers hope from their Anime productions. 

You can't do a real interaction with Anime girls, they also can't support you and loving you as well but at least they can fulfilled your wild imaginations about ideal girls.

ウィ Ui in Japanese.

We have similar pronunciation with Wi in Chinese and Japanese at previously mentioned.

.

Wo is like

我 Wo in Chinese,

ヲor ウオ in Japanese.

How Do You Enjoy Your Life All Alone Eventhough You Don't Have Anyone ?

 Based on my real life after my mom passed away, living alone is not bad, especially when your body fits and you have relatively stable financial. Living alone in modern times with internet connection and certain degree of freedom would be great than lived in heaven.

But it's also have bad side as well, especially when you faced big problems and troubles alone, or when you get sick and stressful moments alone. You may will constantly get panic when you can't handle or solving the problems alone. Nobody you can ask for help or just ask some advices. People very apathy and selfish with themselves. Sometimes you may will experiences unstable emotion, you sad alone, angry alone and talking alone with yourself. But every person have different experiences and respond to faced loneliness.

Introverted person usually have strong mind, adapted well with situations and can stand more longer when faced loneliness.

No matter your loneliness just temporary or permanently(?). It's a mixed feeling when you lived alone. It's have good side and bad side also. The most important thing is lived alone must thinking smartly when faced any problems.

Life only just once, so if you must fight alone, then don't hesitate it !
