I would also have to say that I would pick anime life over real life. In the reality that we live today is a complete mess. In my honest opinion(and this is just how I feel about it...), that the reality that we live in has hit rock bottom for some time now. And now, we are digging deeper, so we actually go lower than that.
but anime one the other hand, its a break from the world that we all know. It gives you a chance to let your imagination go nuts and feel like you are in the show with the characters, even after the show is over and the credits are rolling. And not to copy what yinyangaio1 said, having powers like most anime characters do would be pretty cool
