Is it normal to be obsessed with anime?

Ever since I was about 12, I have really liked anime. Over the past 3 years, I have found myself with an obsession over it. Sometimes I cry when I remember it's not real and I am starting to hate myself just because I am not like the characters in anime. My friends and family all tell me I am unhealthily obsessed with it but I don't want to go to a doctor or anything. Is it normal?

    As a fellow anime lover, let me say that anime is a fantasy and not real life. Believe me, I've had days where I would be legitimately upset over the fact that my life wasn't an anime. However, you have to realize that anime is an escape from life. It's pleasant to eye and yes, the characters are beautifully drawn. But there are plenty of other ways you can spend your time, like with friends. Invite some friends over to watch anime, that way your parents won't see you as abnormal since other people like it. But like I said, anime is a fantasy not something that you can truly live out like life.

    Anime is such a poor excuse for cartoons. Honestly I never understood the hype. I especially can't stand when people such as yourself take it WAY too seriously and wish they were Japanese or whatever.
