But I do know that there are many characters in anime that have a sense of superiority and power and seek god-like powers and enlightenment and such and I am inspired by this.
Right. In those anime the characters are faced with their reality. The reality that you have the pleasure of viewing on your computer screen or tv. These characters end up becoming masters of their reality through hard work and dedication like Edward Elrich in Full Metal Alchemist. If Naruto's never say die attitude inspires you then why not adopt it into your reality. Do something in this reality that will earn you the respect you see your favourite anime characters command. Let their stories be the force that drives you to achieve your own success.
Exactly my idea. I identified with the character Naruto because once I suffered bullying and everybody though of me as a failure. Years later, I'm a successful college students with good results, I earn my own money and I have a beautiful girlfriend and awesome friends. I didn't have anyone to help me out, except my mom, and I didn't fail because of that.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
