I, for one, wants to become a resident of the 2D world. This is a new opportunity to control the population (Anime can't reproduce) and at the same time give happiness to single people.

Think of this scenario. The men is so lonely, no friend, and the adults are so busy to talk with him, he get bullied by his friend, and the only escape is in anime. I don't think that is very crazy idea. Before I am a weak men, with only less than 12o pounds of weight. I got bullied by my stronger friend, I am loser with no good school degree, and the only escape is to television. Then I thought the television is the reality, because mind select the realities he like, not the real one. There, when I get fitness and get more than 170 pound of weight, get Kung Fu trained, get good job as programmer, understand investation, and also degree in IT, everything change. I believe that everything is possible, and the one look so crazy, in reality is not crazy as it may looks. And Freud had proven it so well. Hmm, maturely, I think we should take this psichologically.

That's pretty sad, but at least there won't be much chance of some poor REAL girl ending up with a guy like that. No one should have to marry a loser like that. Not even a cartoon character. Eew.

Well it certainly goes a long way toward explaining why there's so much anime/manga where characters abstinently refuse to express themselves to the opposite gender. I guess it's a cultural thing...? Yes it's possible to really love a fictional character, but I don't think marrying them would be healthy. The only interaction you'd have with them would be in your head, and that doesn't help you grow as a person very much. People need outside input to be balanced. Besides. All the other hardcore fans of that character would probably wish you dead.... o_o; Woooow.

What if the character is actually a charicature of a real person? What if the character is anthropomorphic? What if she's a DC character, but all your friends have Marvel wives? If he dies in a story, can the widow claim his licensing royalties? If comics and animation characters are permissible, howabout radio? Books? Perhaps we shall soon see the first sanctioned human-logotype marriage! Are there dojinshi manga where the artist inserts (so to speak) oneself into the comic?
