Why was I born? Why not in an anime, or at least not in Japan?

Somewhere in the CIS, Revan, arguing with an old woman in a clinic, who is trying to cut in line:
"Why was I born? Why not at least in Japan? I'm fed up with this CIS, with its queues, grumpy old women, and all of this."

Somewhere in Japan, a schoolboy sleeps in class after a sleepless night playing video games:
"And why was I born in Japan, and not in an anime? In anime, there are beautiful girls, and even if you're not the main character, you're still cool, you know martial arts. And in school, you have a romance with someone, not like me, where all the girls have bulging eyes and even they don't need me."

Somewhere in the same anime, a minor character dies in the fifth episode:
"How is this possible? I spent many years progressing in martial arts, I have a family, children, but I'm destined to die here to create drama for the protagonist! This is unfair! I should have been the protagonist myself."

Somewhere in the same anime, the protagonist:
"I only trained twice at the dojo and then put on a serious face and destroyed an entire army, as well as a monster the size of a planet. Girls are all over me, and they're all supermodels. Everything is good, but is this really life? It's all trivial, no difficulties, and if there are any, they're just for show. Everyone almost worships you, everyone needs something from you, everyone admires you, but you know it's all fake. You're bored.
I wish I could be someone who truly overcomes challenges. Someone who isn't really needed by anyone, but who deserves more, sets goals, and achieves them through their own strength and perseverance, not through cool artifacts and being chosen."

An old woman in a clinic, trying to cut in line in front of Revan:
"These young and healthy people are so annoying, why do they even need to be in the clinic?! I'm a veteran, let me go first, you scoundrel, or I'll hit you with my cane!!"
