Do you feel more attached/attracted to anime characters than real people? There is nothing wrong with having a favorite character. It is only when you become so attached to a fictional character that you would reject all relationships with real people that it becomes unhealthy.
Full Answer
A fictional character cannot give you the same love and attention that a real person might. Have you ever gotten into a serious fight over an anime? It is perfectly fine to disagree with someone or to discuss theories, so long as it is done in a mature fashion.
Think of the anime character you think you are attached to and lets begin!: Do you know your Anime Character's first and last name? Yes, I know my character's first and last name! I do but I don't know how to pronounce it... I know only the first name of my character, due to the fact the anime/manga doesn't reveal the last name.
It is perfectly fine to disagree with someone or to discuss theories, so long as it is done in a mature fashion. However, if you find yourself so attached to an anime that you become protective of it and lash out at anyone who dislikes it and insulting them, going on ranting, you might be unhealthily-obsessed with it.
Remind yourself that the anime is just a work of fiction—something made up by a group of writers and artists—and that it is not real. The worlds and characters cannot replace those around you. Go outside right now and look for something you think is beautiful. Is there a tree with a bark pattern that looks like an apple background?
Most anime fans become interested in their favorite shows because they like the characters. They want to draw them, act like them, dress up as them, and so on. Their favorite characters are usually young, aesthetically pleasing, and possess desirable traits like confidence, determination, and a positive attitude.
Falling in love with a fictional character is not unusual, and many people have found themselves emotionally attached to a character in a book, movie, TV show, or video game. You do want to be careful that these romantic feelings don't prevent you from living your life or having real romantic relationships.
Consider taking a break. You can also try to take a break from anime by not watching any anime or reading any manga for a certain period of time. Try it for two weeks, and see how you feel. You might surprise yourself by finding that you have discovered other hobbies and interests to fill up that void.
It is normal to find animated characters attractive, especially when the characters are over sexualized and meant to play certain personas that are deemed "attractive". That's one of the selling points for anime is the "cute" factor of everything from the animation style to the dere archetype.
You can marry an anime waifu or go for another fictional 3D character whether they be human or not. The only stipulation is that the spouse can only submit one application and it cannot be to an actual person. Of course, there are anime fans who really wouldn't mind dating and marrying their waifu.
Fictiophilia is not an officially recognized disorder. The main reason for this is that most people form healthy parasocial relationships. They learn from their favorite characters, admire them, assimilate their traits, and move on with their lives. Being obsessed with fictional characters is a rare phenomenon.
Of course, watching anime can be a compulsive addiction. It's similar to compulsive gambling, Tumblr reading, and other compulsive behaviors. Anime may ease your anxiety, but the association, if you aren't careful, can create anxiety.
like myself, some people are addicted to anime because it's fun, action-packed, comedic, and entertaining, it's like a show that's so good you can't help but watch another episode, and the characters are cute and different.
Otaku (Japanese: おたく, オタク, or ヲタク) is a Japanese word that describes people with consuming interests, particularly in anime, manga, video games, or computers. Its contemporary use originated with a 1983 essay by Akio Nakamori in Manga Burikko.
No. It's perfectly normal as long as you don't go past the line between appreciation and obsession. Finding anime characters attractive is just like finding anything in real life attractive.

My wife and I live on the 3rd/top floor of our apartment. There is a roundabout and relatively popular road right behind our apartment below our balcony.
I live in a country where arranged marriage and abusive marriage is quite common. Little bit by bit things are getting better. But not fast enough. Some marriages are of young girls. Younger than 14. They cannot go to school because they are caring for their husbands and are pregnant very soon into the marriage.
I’m serious. Nothing he does is even close to age appropriate.
She comes into my job at least once a day because she does instacart and I work in the produce department. She is 41 and im 25. We are going out tomorrow bowling.
My wedding is not for a few more months and I already hate it. From the expense, to the countless hours of planning, coordinating, deciding useless garbage like centerpieces and the other trivial nonsense, it's so pointless.
So, a little bit of back story. I was raised solely by my dad, his a good man, a lot older than most other dads growing up, but always has been my best friend. I don't think we've ever even gotten into one fight. It was all well and fine, until I was 15, when he was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
See my last post. Your comments moved me. I had to do something cause his ambitions in life were just aimless and if he didn’t get his act together-he’d be in the same position 20 years later. We talked to him about self reliance and growing up. He needs a life plan. If he blew us off, we were prepared to make him move out.
If you don't get your nightly dose of anime in, do not despair—there is always the next night. Save anime for the weekend. Your excitement and anticipation will build throughout the week—but you will also be able to get a ton of other things done during that week. Do all of your chores first.
