haha, I remember my first anime crush... it was li from ccs when I was nine or ten yrs.-old xD
My first thought was, 'you've GOT to be joking? Am I falling in love with a make-believe character?' and yeah, I'd have to say that I was. since then, it's sparked many anime crushes such as hatsuharu from furuba, Tamaki from ouran, and... hell if I can remember all of them! xD
Sure, I've been made fun of it by others, but I figure... so what? What's so wrong about day-dreaming? They're ideal people and characters that wouldn't exist otherwise if it weren't for sparked imagination... so I say, don't let reality and the others get ya down... *nod* indeed.
