we had the conversation the other day about what anime world we would want to live in if we weren't the main character, just a random person living in that world.
mine's probably pokemon. nothing actually bad ever happens, it's just people training pokemon and battling each other. it's about personal growth and motivation and you've got all these little critters with you along the way. definitely the reason why i chose pokemon. definitely.
@beardalaxy There is a theory that the reason there aren't many adult man around is that they've all been shipped off to war
@matrix there is also a theory that the entire thing is just made up in ash's mind in his last moments of life or that he's in a coma or something
@beardalaxy
The problem is, that once I start thinking about this question, I realize I am missing a normal community so much, that a fucking Berserk starts sounding reasonable. (Or Skyrim 
)
actually though the only reason ash is the main character is because he's what the show focuses on. dude loses battles like half the time. there isn't really much that is special about him that doesn't happen through pure happenstance, he's just the vehicle for showing off the world of pokemon.
