Start watchin anime because everyone says it's great escapism

>look it up on google images
looks interesting, I wonder what's it about...
>"In Kino's Journey, the protagonist, Kino, accompanied by a talking motorcycle named Hermes"
>talking motorcycle
DROPPED

Never. It was a terrible show. I want to see more Food Wars!

That's how I feel with Log Horizon.
I fucking love every aspect of the show and its world and it's painful to watch because that's literally what I've always wanted in my life. To just get thrown into some fantasy world where people can be somebodies again through their own talents and you can explore a whole world that's never been seen before and share your experiences with people.
I only watched to episode 3 and I can't bring myself to watch more because of how much it hurts my psyche to watch.

It sounds retarded but Kino is one of the best MC's you can get user. Easily one of the most based women protagonists in anime.

Any anime about adult drama? I can't relate to 15yo students anymore.
Preferentially no fan service, something with harsh realities and cruel worlds.
I liked Kaiji, Hokuto no Ken, Punpun, Boys on the Run, Paprika and Tekkonkinkreet, and I'm considering watching Devilman Crybaby and Initial D.

DROPPED

yeah the real world sucks compared to video games too.
Same thing happened to me

I began with escapism in my childhood
My life has been the slow revealing of reality
and I become more and more depressed

She's as bad ass as Balsa.

One Piece and HuntahxHuntah are so good they can make me forget about the world for minutes

not him but those are anime for pretentions teens who think they're smart

>watch anime
>get overly attached to characters
>try to find any addition material I can drama CDs, some 5 minute OVA that came with DVD/BD release, shitty VN side story anything that can allow me to spend more time with them

Anyone else read the entire fan wiki after they finish something they really like?

Watch Berserk then nigliaccio

>protagonist is supposed to be miserable
>is handsome/cute/smart/funny/strong/has talents/a good heart/a special power
immersion broken. why are there no actually miserable protagonists in fiction? I can only identify with the useless, ugly, dumb, evil henchmen.

I know this feeling so much. I have watched Cardcaptor Sakura over 35 times (its a 70 ep anime not counting the movies or new series)
I own figures and the OST's. sometimes I listen to the music for hours just dreaming of being reborn as a cute girl who is friends with Sakura and Tomoyo living a peaceful life in Tomoeda. I know it sounds really pathetic but that place is basically heaven for me.

wrong. They're good shows that explore complex moralities. You'd just rather be a contrarian to get points for doing so

>watching initial D
>in extreme envy of the perfect ethnostate
and society depicted in the show

lain is literally just slow scenes of nothing happening with some cool aesthetics. sorry, but making your media deliberately confusing doesn't make it automatically good or smart.

Read similar works of Asano Inio, aka author of oyasumi punpun.

I can't watch SoL anymore, it just bores me now. I can only watch so many archtype characters go through the same scenarios so many times.

Oh it's a school festival episode, wonder if it will be a maid cafe or haunted house version. Oh it's a class trip episode, bet it won't have stale Osaka or Kyoto references.

Except it's not confusing?
It's presenting ideas to you for you to interpret and put together like an adult, while still telling a story within that.

>liked lotgh
>liked nge
>liked psycho pass

that's what I've watched recently (in the last year or two). now I don't know what the fuck to watch, any good movies maybe?

Yup. Not a fan of anime, but if I finish watching a live-action series/playing a game/whatever that I really enjoyed, I'll go online and try and learn everything about it. Like information about actors, trivia, canon shit.

Fuck, I think I might be autistic.

I felt that way briefly for a while. Several months. I grew out of it pretty quick, maybe because I haven't watched anything really good for a while.
