I thought all anime/manga was similar to a couple of series that my cousin made me sit through, namely shows such as Bleach, Lovely Complex, Kimi ni Todoke, Hunter x Hunter, etc. I generally associated anime and manga with childish fighting shows or the moe/loli culture. Then I watched Serial Experiments Lain....
Things I enjoy: Music, pondering, quoting Oscar Wilde, watching films, and debating.
Things I do not enjoy: Pointless small talk, any form of conservatism, first-person shooters, most things enjoyed in society, etc.
Favorite quotation: "Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautiful: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religious: they are only pewrenters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly. They are not even vicious: they are only “frail.” They are not artistic: they are only lascivious. They are not prosperous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only servile; not dutiful, only sheepish; not public spirited, only patriotic; not courageous, only quarrelsome; not determined, only obstinate; not masterful, only domineering; not self-controlled, only obtuse; not self-respecting, only vain; not kind, only sentimental; not social, only gregarious; not considerate, only polite; not intelligent, only opinionated; not progressive, only factious; not imaginative, only superstitious; not just, only vindictive; not generous, only propitiatory; not disciplined, only cowed; and not truthful at all: liars every one of them, to the very backbone of their souls." - George Benard Shaw
I see no point on why you should sit here and listen to me ramble about myself though, I suggest using your time
more wisely.

Also, notice how you contrasted "A lot of times Hiroshi just seems to forget that he has a wife and kids in his real life as a 48 year old" with "much different than the life he initially lived where his family was broken apart and suffering". Perhaps you've answered your own question.
