Adult titles
If you feel that the available ones are too childish for you, a plethora of adult naughty titles is available. They are however strictly meant for adults so you should not let your children play them.
Persistence
Most of them help cultivate persistence in players; as they move from one level to another, they get more and more challenging. This requires a high level of persistence to complete.
Interactivity
Compared to watching anime on TV, kids can control the fate of their favorite characters. This gets them thinking instead of idling at the TV.
Better Cognitive Skills
Cognitive health is greatly improved from playing anime. This is because players have to follow set rules, solve problems and make critical decisions. They provide good mental exercise that contributes to the well being of the person.
