Then I went to college, and I suddenly found myself with way too much work to do and limited access to that stuff in my free time. So I essentially just gave it up cold turkey, and I can say that it was one of the greatest things I've ever done for myself.

Instead of focusing on the whole fantasy aspect, I was living my own life and struggling with the real-life problems that we all encounter. Now, nearly a decade later, I do enjoy the occasional sci-fi indulgence, but it's simply that. It's an indulgence, something I can watch once in a while to escape from reality for an hour or two every few months. So I would challenge you to give up anime completely for a month. Refuse to do anything involving it. Then see how your internal thoughts guide you. I suspect you will begin to understand that it's not that you can't fly and save the world that's bugging you, but something far more grounded in reality.

no it's the reality of the world that scares me into staying in my fantasy world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
