Is it normal: to think anime is better than life?

I watched this anime series calles Code Geass because i was curious as to why a girl had green hair(I never found out, but overall its quite irrelivant).
When i finished it I just thought it was so brilliant.
the most brilliant anything could ever be.
now i just keep watching it over and over.
its not taking over my life, i still carry that on fine, i just watch an episode here and there, but i always start right from the beggining again after watching the final episode.
i think that i really find my life so boring and insignificant i wish i could live like the characters in the anime, where my life has meaning and I can use the skills and intelligence i have for more than self satisfying time-wasting.
as a teenager, i feel stuck in a life where I'm bored in school(in this country an 18 year old who has not been held back at all can still be in high school, sigh). I wish i could hurry up and goto univercity so I can learn about what is I want to learn about, and not be stuck in this miserable cycle of life where I find a cartoon(albeit a masterfully constructed and entertaining) to be more appealing then everything else life as to offer me at this time.

    Honestly I watched the anime series Eureka Seven, and wondered why I couldn't have a relationship of love like the two main characters had. I was bummed for a week but it IS a cartoon. I'd say it's normal to lose interest in life every once in a while. Just make sure you don't become obsessive over the show!

    I'm the same way, I have a very big imagination and I tend to think about lots of things including life as an anime character =D

    Gonna say that's not normal. I absolutely love Code Geass but it's just a cartoon. Real life experiences are way better than sitting around watching TV all day.

    Its completely normal. After watching Shugo Chara, I couldn't stand having to live in real life... It is now my life goal to be able to send people into their favorite anime!!!

    Code Geass was a good series, very interesting plot and moral binds...
    Anime is just another form of expression, storytelling has enchanted generations since the start of the human race. Practice of our imagination is a part of life not an escape of it, you'll pull out of your bunk and be fine in no time at all.

    Watch Death Note, and you'll be over it and wanna do clever things like school. I was lying in bed a whole year only watching anime and reading manga.... Even though you don't believe me saying this, I can honestly tell that you will grow up and get over anime. The teenage years are actually some fucked up shit. No matter what you do, life fucks you in some way or another. Just keep going and you'll get through those horrid years :P
