I love anime (and media in general) because it made me feel things I had never felt before. It was real and personal. It made me want to ask questions and pursue my dreams. I wanted to be inside of that magic. But it seemed like everyone else felt anime differently, or at least didn’t mention it.

My autism manifests in tinkering. I want to know how things work. I want to understand the world. I wanted to know what makes anime tick. Why did I find it so fascinating? Why did I like some shows and not others? Why did other people like things I didn’t? My YouTube channel is built on these ideas.

I didn’t want to feel superior to other people for liking what I liked and I didn’t want to worship a cartoon blindly. What I wanted was to understand how media worked. Because I wanted to make my own stuff. I wanted to make others feel how my favorite things made me feel. On my terms.
