Is it normal to be in love with an anime character?

So i really like anime and i watched this one called sword art online the other day and there's this one girl in the show called sinon that is pretty much my perfect girl, I get really obsessed and I have a framed picture of her on my desk as well as a full sized body pillow of her and she likes watching me play video games.
At school the other day this girl I've known since elementary school asked me if I wanted to go and see the new hobbit movie with her, but I turned her down because I wanted to wanted to watch it with sinon first because she's perfect. I feel content with sinon and I know that no real girl will ever come close to how perfect sinon is, is it normal that I reject other girls for an anime character?

Please respond.

    Im pretty sure there is a name in japanese for your type of uber loser- i mean nerd. If i only could remember.

    And this is idiotic, i love anime, i watched anime before it was a thing here. I was a baby watching it with all the other cartoons and just saw it all as animation. And i love plenty of characters from multiple animes and cartoons, movies and shows.

    But there is a damn diffrences between loving a character, and being "in love" with a character. Your "Obsession" is both unhealthy and almost shaming to me and everyone else that enjoy Anime as an entertainment media.

    Bright side side is if u avoid real women atleast it almost certain you will never reproduce

  • If only all girls could just be pillows. No crying when someone sells them to you. :/

    As long as her age isn't on the clock.
    Because that would be pedophilia.

    Eek...Definitely not normal to reject someone REAL for a pillow...I'll always have a thing for the dude from legend of Zelda but I'm still married.

    Uh, normal to have a crush on an anime character.

    However, rejecting others for something that's not real isn't normal. Missing out on many opportunities, y'know?

    There is an alternate Universe that exist within our own behind the clouds of the Bermuda triangle. They say it isn't real, but don't listen to them. That's what they want you to believe. It is called anime land. In anime land, all anime and their character truly exists. There you will be able to live with and become one with your favorite anime characters. Many people have visited this world but few have returned. This is why so many ships and airplanes get lost in the Bermuda triangle. This is also where Japanese people get all there ideas. Go there and be with your lover at once!

    Uh... wait, full sized pillow of the character? Weird, I was looking those up last night. Hahaha!
