Outline3

In what way are the characters attractive? 
The setting of the characters are based on the authors' fantasy. Those kind of people won't really exist in reality. Especially their dramatic facial expression and costumes. 

Why are the stories interesting?
The reason that stories are interesting is as same as why the characters are attractive. Because the story will never happen in reality. Characters can do things we aren't able to do, like having super powers or doing dramatic actions. 

Why did you learn such a life lesson? Is it related to any character?
In the third year of my junior high school, the pressure of having tests almost crushed me. Then I found  when I was reading comic books, it was the only moment that I could forget all the unhappiness.  My favorite comic book, Gintama, is a comedy always makes me laugh. The main character is also the one that I identify with the most. He is very lazy and is mean to others, but when someone is in need he will definitely help him or her. No matter what kind of mess he gets into, he will find a way to solve it. This comic book gives me a lot of courage to face my difficulties.

Why are their personalities changed? Is that related to any character or any story?
They became confidence to themselves because after releasing their pressure and becoming friends with those who have the same interest, can gain recognition from others.

Topic, main idea and outline 2

What do I like about anime?
Anime satisfies my imagination. Looking at the scenes in anime, it feels like dreams come true. It not only helps me to release my pressure, I can also get into anime's fantasy world.

Outline:

Why are they interested in anime?
1. Because they are not real things so they can do a lot imaginations.
2. The characters in anime are attractive. (Most of the interviewees said this answer.)
3. It is easy to read and it is easy to find the sources (like searching on Net).
4. Because the story is interesting and it can comfort their feelings.

How do anime influence them?
1. Can learn life lessons from it. For example, one of the interviewees said he learned that if you work hard enough and do your best, you can achieve your goal. To me, I learned to look things in a positive way and I became a more outgoing person.
2. Anime influences their aspirations. Most of the anime fans are interested in drawing and designing.
3. It changed their personality, they became more cheerful and happy. They cared about what people think of them before, but now they think the most important thing is to be who you are. So they have the courage to do many things.
4. Some people can't draw a line between the anime and the real world.
5. Spending too much money on it.
6. The people they saw on roads can't meet their imagination.
7. The decorations in their rooms changed. It was all white and now it is filled with anime posters.
8. Anime changed their values. For example, a person's appearance is just a shell, the most important is your innate character.
9. They spend more time staying home.

Personal Experience (Observation) 1

I've been to the Comic Exhibition twice, the first time I went there just to buy comic books and other things. The second time I went there to interview anime fans. The common between them is they all spent a lot of money on anime products. The last time I went to the Comic Exhibition, I spent about two thousand dollars. Honestly, I felt regret after I went home because the things I bought most of them weren't useful. This time when I went to the exhibition and finished the interview, I walked around for a while. Seeing the anime products, I have the impulse to buy them again. I have to keep talking to myself like, "Wei, you won't need these things." or " Wei, it's expensive and not practical, you will definitely regret for buying it." Another thing that stopped me from buying it and  kept my head clear was the lining. There were really A LOT of people lining up and waiting to buy things. My eager of shopping destroyed immediately. But all the interviewees were willing to do that. Most of them even got up early in the morning and waited for hours until exhibition opened. They think it was worth it. I am really impressed by them.
