You are welcome. My brother whom watches anime too made that point made to me and I thought to bring it up because it was a great point! Notify of. Most Voted Newest Oldest. Inline Feedbacks.

Life is never going to be like these stories, and people will never be like these characters, no matter how much I want it.
We all need to be careful about the media we consume and how much we consume. Stories were originally meant to be teaching methods, and good ones will make us reconsider our lives. Our circumstances may not be similar, but our thoughts definitely are. I am also prone to escapism and I am always wondering about characters we so emotionally get invested with. I try so much to bring such characters and what they stand for to life in what I see around me but they are just the imagination of the author and I play around that concept for a while, as well as what they would do in the present world but I can never wrap my head around it and move on.
I have left many good books and stories because of my emotional investment. I yearn to see them in reality or have similar experiences, but I just can not for some reason. Something in me stops me from escaping completely into that reality and it aches.
Some responsible part in me restrains me from going into it completely and to neither be there nor in the present aches my heart and consumes my mind. I am left in a daze belonging to neither of the worlds for when I am in the present I cannot stop thinking about that, yet I do not consume it.
It is just there in my mind, while I am passing time. Ahh yes the present situation I am in too makes me question my choices in life but I am so disconnected from reality, wasting away in dreams. Though I find brief moments of inspiration at times, unless there is a strict framework in my life, it all fails. I can neither drown my self in alcohol or any other self detrimental habits, nor immerse my self in reality as there is some part in me that will not let me drown to the bottom, neither will it inspire me.
Good luck and I hope you are able to solve your problems! It also scares me because I already knew what I wanted to focus on when I get older, but theses thoughts make me question weather or not I want to to it. Footballers even riot. People can become vested in anything.
What about the story has you unsettled? I enjoyed Rascal quite a bit; I revisited it last month, actually. Damn, there are so many comments on this topic. I am here fresh after finishing Shokugeki no Soma I know I am late. Shokugeki no Soma was one of the few animes I had never stopped watching since its very first episode. I have gotten over this post-anime depression state countless of times before.
But many of them were the one season, episodes ones where it was easier to get over from as there were likely more work coming soon. In this case, it is truly all set and done. I really loved everything about this anime except the skipping of cooking procedures and fights as told by my friends who have read the manga. I cannot get over its characters!!!
I hope I can bounce back from this ;. The show was so intriguing, and every night i would go to bed excited to continue watching the next day. When i finally reached the end it felt like something inside of me was missing. I doubt i will become depressed over this but it was a great anime and i may be sad about it for quite a while. I also came from darling in the franxx and felt empty afterward still stuck in that world I guess you could say. That show was just something else esp the ending.
Anyway the best thing to do is to watch another anime honestly. I watched it before but years ago and forgot basically everything so thought it might help fill the void I had and distract me with another story. Its the best thing you can do for yourself. Thanks for letting me rant lol. I left all my friends and classmates for this and I want to live in anime.. Well, companies make anime that generate profit. I see a lot of people talking about DITF… I have also seen it and indeed it left a hole in my heart that was not easy to fix but in the end It was ok.
However, some days ago, I saw 5 centimeters per seconds and hell no, it left me broken, in part because I feel identify with some situations and specially, the painfull ones. I would recommend this anime movie only 1 hr duration under your own risk.
If it help to anyone who is also struggling witrh this, I recommend to embrace your feelings. As silly as it may be seen, I spend 2 days depress and crying abour the outcome of 5cm per second. I try reading the manga, watching video reviews and eventually it helps a little but it was not the solution. I think, the important is to identify your flaws and if you feel somehow identify with the character, ask yourself why and try to asimilate that feeling and resolve it.
Use all this feeling in a how, it can release so much the pain. I think is a good way that our subconscious asimilate the story. Anyway, if someone get to watch this movie, I will be happy to discuss it with someone, it is also a nice way to release the depressive feeling. Stay safe! Writing is a good way to process your feelings and thoughts about a story. It forces you to consider them deeply. Talking about spreading salt on open wound.
I already experienced that kind of emptiness after finishing great series, animes and video-games, but I am amazed about how this anime took such a great place in my heart and resonated witn me in just one day. Some stories can really resonate. I find myself still thinking about Final Fantasy VI, for example, despite first playing the game 25 years ago. Im here because of Darling in the Franxx and Twin Star Exorcists i want more … it put emotional scar on me even tho im not that emotional person.
I just finished Darling in the Franxx as well. I would suggest reading the manga to help, especially after that ending. The manga has a better ender I have been told so thats what I am doing and it is helping. If a story left such an impact on you, you will likely remember it. You might even seen subtle ways the story has influenced your thinking.
There is an anime kind of like Haikyu!! The name of it is Kurokos Basketball and almost identical to Haikyu!! Yeah I feel you. You should check out my comment aswell. If they make a season 2 with reincarnated Hiro and ZeroTwo then I think I would plummet into more depression. Never give up hope on a second season. And thanks for understanding what myself and others are going through.
Stay safe. I only got into anime not to long ago… My first was AOT and I really enjoyed it, so i delved a little deeper.
I feel as though I have a hole in my chest, and every other anime I watch to try and heal the wound, feels like filling it with sand. I have been watching anime for around 5 months now, have watched at least shows, but none of them have given me the same feeling I got from Darling.
The first anime you watch sticks with you. I still have a soft spot for Inuyasha. Two hundred shows in 5 months is quite a lot. After finishing it, I felt so sad and I cried. I had an intense longing in my heart. I am so attached with InuYasha. It will always be my favorite anime. It has a good Inuyasha feel, and it is fun to see what our favorite characters did after the original story of Inuyasha.
Dude, I totally feel you. And just like you, I felt like I had a hole in my chest, and I tried to watch other anime to kinda cover up that wound. But even after like a year, I still feel that wound.
Any time that anime is mentioned or I see it anywhere, the wound just reacts. To be honest, the anime I was watching got spoiled too. While I was half way with the anime, my friend spoiled me the ending. But because I was so hyped for the anime, I ignored what he said and kept watching it. After that I was so broken. Not to mention, whenever I heard the opening song or ending song again, it just brought me to tears. This feeling of of a hole in a chest. I gotta admit, you described it more than I could.
An advice, instead of trying to run away from this wound or avoid it, you should try to cope it somehow. The choice is yours. I told him to spoil Iron blooded orphans I got really attached to the characters because i felt that i related to them a lot, the MC especially. Just like you I read the manga straight afterwards and yet somehow still felt the same despair.
I absolutely agree with your last statement about choosing a season two over anything else , I told myself the same thing.
I hope a second season does come , where they remake the first season by giving it a better ending. They can remake everything from episode 15 onwards. I hope your doing fine , and everyone else who sees this reply and are waiting for a second season of darling in the franxx , all the best and I pray for a second season , either this year or early next year. It could start off episode 1, where the new Zero Two and Hiro are dating, like any teenage couple, when the virm attacks and the city they are in is almost destroyed.
So before watching I was somewhat familiar to who Zero-two and Hiro was, and I also knew about how it ended what their tragic fates were. If you are watching anime like ones of Ghibli Studios, school setting anime what you are feeling is Saudade Sad Nostalgia. You revisit your past through anime and feel sad. Another reason might be the romcom anime or romance anime makes you feel alone. This feeling of emptiness and emotional exhaustion suggests your subconscious needs to digest the story and the characters.
Either case, the end-of-an-anime blues can be uncomfortable. Some fall into deep depression. After the excitement and action of the episode, they want to calm you down to get on with the rest of your day. Opening themes hype you up for the episode ahead; ending themes calm you down to get back to real life.
Original anime are typically actually a complete story. Does Anime make you happy in anyway at all? Lets see you guys sharing your own opinion :D.
Depends on the anime. If it's good I'll be happy If it's bad I'll be frustrated. No, anime makes me even more depressed because their lives are perfect, and the world around them is perfect. Guys can get all the pussy they want for absolutely no reason, and they can eat a lot without getting fat. Meanwhile my sorry ass is stuck banging my head on the wall because classes are so boring, making my fat ass gain even more weight because I have nothing to live for, and getting no social interaction other than the MAL forums.
One of these days I'm going to drink that bleach bottle and jump over an overpass. Even the ones that are terribly sad make me happy, somehow. Not to say they don't make me sad, of course, but there's some sort of underlying joy to witnessing an amazing story.
I prefer bittersweet endings to tragedies, though, and I'd rather have a well-thought-out happy ending for a saddening series than a tragic one.
There's also a sense of relief that occurs after crying, especially when it's from a sweet and moving scene rather than a purely sad one. So, yes, in general, good anime make me happy. How about you, OP? In my own strength And we had a really good chat. Then I slit his throat and ripped his heart out through his chest.
Does that make me a bad person? Elegade said: No, anime makes me even more depressed because their lives are perfect, and the world around them is perfect. Not really. I'm a masochist, and I love to feel misery, so I watch anime. Yes it does especially when it has a good opening. I like to dance when I hear good anime openings :D. To be fair though about everything I do in my free time makes me happy so it is not something special.
Yes anime makes me happy. Most of it can't happen irl or is too perfect for reality. Watching anime cuts out the 3-D world surrounding all of us. This might come off as pretty cheesy but maybe I could explain into it, yes anime makes me happy a lot, and the reason why anime makes me happy a lot are a lot of reasons, mostly because even after the depressing shit or during the depressing moments I've been, I always tend to have a smile on my face when I watch something that I love and enjoy, it also helped me around on being more interactive around the community and just overall talking, at the same time I actually made some pretty good friends along the way when watching them since we would have the same interest.
Not to mention that having friends is good because I personally never really, or genuinely had any, so it was a pretty hard time as well of course so, with that I made loads of friends in the end honestly. It also helped me to at least be more creative in a way with art, since recently I've been trying to test out my skills on both drawing and at the same time Photoshopping too.
I deeply admire that sense of being inspired in a way. Yuri on Ice makes me happy these days. Lelouch coming back makes me happy. So yes, my conclusion is anime makes me happy. And there is good which can come from evil intentions".
