Stages Of An Anime Fan
Stage 1: Is introduced to a popular, entry-level anime film such as Akira or Ghost in the Shell by a friend. Proceeds to explore the most famous anime films such as the above, Ghibli movies, etc.
Stage 2: Discovers shonen series, likely Bleach on Adult Swim. Briefly becomes an IRL version of Rikka from Chuunibyou. Does not yet understand why MAL trolls shonenshit threads. Will hate self for the rest of his natural life for this brief phase.
Stage 3: Mature / deepfag phase. Once he begins to realize shonenshit is shit, begins to seek out “deep” and critically acclaimed anime such as Tatami Galaxy, Evangelion, Lain, etc. Starts debating the meaning of these anime on MAL, as well as starts trolling shonenshit threads, suddenly feeling superior to the plebes in said threads.
Stage 4: Moefag, the final phase. Decides to try a moe series which 4chan and MAL seems to love, such as Aria, or more recently Hidamari Sketch, etc… justifying it to self as for “purely academic reasons,” e.g. so they can troll or shittalk these series with an informed viewpoint. Ends up discovering that nothing is more peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable than watching cute girls doing cute things. Ends up realizing that all “deep and mature” anime are actually pretentious bullshit.

Using baloon? that's plausible, but please do your research first. Even in the real world hot air baloon was invented in 18th century which was 400 years after hand cannon was invented. And if logic is absolute in every anime, it will be very boring imo
