It would be very hard for me to give an exact reason either as there are many things I love about it. Sometimes it helps me find new hobbies I didn't know I would ever try or become interested in, or to try new foods, it also encourages me to try to make long-lasting friendships with others and be a kind person. If I were to sum it up my favorite thing about anime is that it makes my life a little bit happier and pushes me to try new things. Connecting over anime has helped me form a lot of friendships that I wouldn't have had otherwise.
