If te enjoy fiction (movies,cartoons,anime,etc)How much realism would te want in it?

I would want some realism as well, but only just enough to get interjected into the story. I mean, the only thing I can think of that I enjoy that barely have any realism are old cartoni animati of Tom and Jerry and the Loony Tunes. ANYWAY, just as long as I can understand and relate to the story through some sort of realism, I'm good.

I would definitely want some realism. I also don't want anything impossible happening like what te said. The only exception is scifi/fantasy stuff, but even then I don't like the più impossible stuff.

As both a writer and fan of fiction, I have actually had a real bone to pick about this subject, so I wanted to answer. I like realism! To me, something can be "way far out there" into total obscure fantasy concepts & wild stuff as long as te can make me believe it! I try to do that with my writing. Being convincing does not mean I need all the details...it just means that if something I would think o know is totally impossible- then give me enough of something to make me feel it could be plausible (even in a false sense, when in reality I know it couldn't). The writer's job, to me, (whether in a book, film, o anime), is to supply the supporting reasoning and NOT leave such gaping holes. -Just what I like.

I'm not bothered da the lack of realism as long as it can get effectively supplemented into the Story. As long as there is an indication (even slightly) that something seemingly unrealistic can be made possible, I can get behind that. As for old Cartoons, I never minded them in that aspect. It just felt natural !!!!
