CATDOLL: A Japanese manga fan takes notes while watching anime. The power of a top student is too scary.

After watching a new episode of anime, do you record the plot, characters and other information of the work? This seemingly strange behavior is now being continued by a crazy "student" anime fan in Japan, but his purpose in doing so seems to still be a mystery.

Watching anime is a way to kill time and relieve fatigue. If you have to carefully consider the actions of the characters in the new episode, or even take notes while watching the anime, it would be too much. However, a Japanese anime fan doesn't think so. He often watches every episode of the anime very seriously, recording everything from the behind-the-scenes personnel, plot investigations to peripheral product information. After reading his notes, netizens in the discussion forum were dumbfounded.

Are you scared by this dense handwriting?

Recently, this Japanese academic fan posted his animation notes in the discussion area. The densely packed text gave many people the first reaction of "how horrible". Indeed, judging from the length of his notes, this definitely requires a lot of patience, observation and sensibility to do.

There are also very neat handwriting

This top student anime fan also enthusiastically answered questions from netizens in the discussion area. He said that he was just "recording these things purely out of interest." It seems that he is indeed a super hardcore anime fan. At least this enthusiasm is temporarily unsurpassed by anyone...

Each notebook records a huge amount of content

According to the top student, the contents of the notes include plot outlines and insights, geography and price surveys, proper nouns and trivia, a list of voice actors, a list of peripheral products, and other aspects. The breadth of coverage is astonishing.

When netizens asked whether Xueba had published his notes into a book, he said that these notes were simply his "unique way" to enjoy animation. Having said that, this kind of "enjoyment" that only belongs to crazy fans is really high-end and profound...

Animation episode ratings change chart

What is even more admirable is that this academic fan did not choose to "appreciate" the animation by taking notes on a whim. From the three thick notebooks he posted, it can be seen that this is definitely the result of long-term accumulation.

The three thick notebooks are the result of years of hard work.

However, this top student anime fan has never revealed his ultimate purpose for doing so. Is he trying to study something in the animation industry? Or is he laying the foundation for his future career in the industry? Or is he just interested in it? It seems that only the person involved can know the answer to this question...
