Where did it all go wrong, m8s?
>>24606779
Literally an exact description of me (except I dropped out of high school). Please come find me soon, Misaki-chan...
>tfw taking comfort in the fact that Satou is 22
>tfw I'll be 23 soon
>tfw it'll make me feel much worse
>tfw can't even pinpoint the exact moment I became a failure

If you guys haven't already read the book, I recommend you do so. It's worth it.
Sadly I think the author may have killed himself.
>>24606871
He's alive. I've got the manga and LN downloaded. I'll read them 'tomorrow'.
>>24606779
name of series please.
will return with recommendations
>>24607046
Welcome to the NHK. The light novel, manga, and anime are all a bit different.
The big bang.
>>24607046
>not recognizing a/r9k/'s favorite Manic Pixie Dream Girl: The Show
>>24607046
You must be new here.
Wizchan is better. Go there instead.
>>24607092
>misaki
>Manic Pixie Dream Girl
eh..
isnt it more that this is what she pretends to be and portrays herself as
but shes really not even close
>>24607092
>>24607083
ah, thanks.
I never got into the series cause I thought it was about some trap or something.which only means it's on my backlog with all the other gay shit
anyways, 3 pretty great recommendations: Oyasumi Punpun, Yahari ore no seishun, and I am a hero. All are pretty robot friendly
Guys when's a good time to re-watch Welcome to the NHK? The first time I watched it I was blown away, so I've been saving it for a special occasion. Only seen it once.
>>24607168Fucking spoilers, man[/spoiers]
>>24607200
Christmas Eve
>>24607179
>Punpun
i like asano's stuff, punpun has a lovely overall aesthetic
offhand, i heavily recommend 20th century boys to any manga readers. best urasawa t.bh
>>24607220
oh sorry
i just assumed anybody here would have watched and read the shit out of it
very sorry
>>24607092
I thought the twist of the show would be mikasa being a gal-game girl made real, like some robot or something.
Her character is not realistic, not something a girl would actually do
>>24606779
Videogames and Masturbation.
>>24607200
>>24607236
Yeah I think I'll watch it on Christmas Eve as well.
I watch the AT and Futurama Christmas Specials on Christmas day.
>>24607143
I've been on this board for about a year.
I've been on this website since around 2008 or so, though.
I just have yet to watch some more of the modern classic series is all. I was pretty weeb in middle school but avoided these interests entirely in favor of strictly video games until around 2010 or 2011 when berserk got me back into them
>tfw I'll never be a part of the pre-2010 series hypes
wish I'd just remained weeb, maybe then I'd actually have friends
>>24607236
>>24607337
Guys we should all watch it together,like on one of them streaming sites
>>24606779
When I found out my fiance was fucking other men. It was all downhill from there.
>>24606779
when i was born an autism
peak times from the offset
>>24607399
Normalfags aren't welcome in Misaki/NHK threads.
Get the fuck out. You've already ruined our board with your bullshit.
>>24607179
Don't watch the second season of Yahari, just pretend it doesn't exist.
Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa is a manga about an old robot trying to become popular with his co workers.
I recommend it.
With her.
The furthest I have ever gotten. Just an hour ago she texted me, and told me she no longer wanted to go the high school formal dance.
It's my senior year and I never had a girl be this close to me ever.
Back to square 1, robots.
Pic related. That's me with the brown hair.
About six years ago, when I became severely depressed for literally no reason. The little good in my life, doing well in school, having a few friends, was completely destroyed afterwards.
I have yet to recover.
>>24607484
Anything is possible.
Believe in yourself and you can achieve anything.
>>24607483
you're peng t.bh dont worry bruv
cant think of many girls who wouldnt buck you uno
you could at least get uck easy
>>24607463
I liked both seasons though. just the second one wasn't as great as the first, but it had its moments.
>>24607358
would be cosy
>>24607473
That's by the guy who wrote Akagi and Kaiji, right?
I guess I'll have to give it a look then.
She left me but I understand why. I will never forgive her but I understand why. Why she couldn't wait anymore, why a life of sheltered emotions did not prepare me for a life with her. She left and I don't know why I'm still alone.
I joined the army after she left. I had no money, no job, and I wanted to die. Nearly got my wish in '07 in Iraq. Again in '11 in Afghanistan. Soldiering was the only thing I was ever good at. Almost met someone while I was a soldier. She found me interesting and we hung out for a while. One night, we went out and got really drunk. She took me back to her place but I couldn't get it up because of the whiskey. She started dating someone else a week later.
I got out a few years ago, didn't want to sit around in garrison with the wars over. I still exercise. I work at a lumber mill. My coworkers say I'm good looking but hang out with me outside of work. I work, I go home, I lift, and I sleep. On weekends I shoot into the side of a hill behind my house and pretend to call for fire on the rabbits.
At least in the army I had my boys. Now I have long hair but nothing else.
>>24607525
Ah, well, maybe.

I love cringe threads :^)
Nearly 10 years ago I fell in love with a girl. She was my first love and it quickly turned into an obsessive oneitis on my part. I asked her out to prom while we were in high school and predictably I got rejected.
I made the retarded decision to go to the same university with her. Somehow she ended up in my major. I did not see her for at least a month so one day when I ran into her I asked if she would like to get a meal with me. Again, I got rejected.
It's now exactly 3 years to the day when I got rejected. She's still telling her friends and more importantly other people in my major about my "crime". Everyone in the whole fucking major knows and they definitely factor my reputation as the class "creep" into their interactions with me. They're still friendly in their superficial interactions with me, but I know they're laughing about it behind my back. To prevent it from getting worse, on top of being what I feel is excessively friendly at time, I have to go out of my way to help other people if they ask me just to provide a counterpoint to whatever narrative she's been spewing. Some of those people are genuinely good and I don't mind helping them, but a lot, particularly the ones that interact with her, are obviously parasitic leeches.
I admit I didn't handle my affairs with her well since I obviously did not even get a date with her but fuck, why did it have to come down to this?
It probably doesn't matter much now since I'm in way too deep to save myself. Nobody would believe me if I told them my side of the story anyways since they already made up their mind from her version of the story; if they were interested in my side they would have asked me by now. My family is the next to find out about this and how I lied for 3 years on graduation day, maybe even earlier. I don't know how they're going to take it, but it's not going to end well for me.
>>24607259
Damn, yeah, totally agree man. that Manga was a fuckn masterpiece
>>24606779
That hits way to close to home, wtf
>>24608464
>how I lied for 3 years on graduation day
what lie?
>>24606837
i would say birth
>>24608630
That I never saw her again during all my undergrad years and have no idea what happened.
My family knew about her from when I was in high school and they always ask about her before the inevitable "u have gf?" question. To them lying is nearly unforgivable since it shows "disrespect', but what the fuck was I supposed to say? If I told them what really happened, they'd be talking about it for the next 10 years and holding it over my head every time I did something less than perfect.
>>24608682
After finding out, they'll talk about it for the next 20, but at least I got to spend the last 3 years more or less free, without my "crime" being the central focus of conversations of any social gatherings I'm present at.
I've got until next June to wonder whether the last 3 years of relative freedom from pain compared to the other possible outcome is worth whatever will happen next.
>>24607483
she looks a bit derp. nothing of value lost my man.
>>24606779
In the exact same situation, except high school dropout and six years of NEETdom.
My latest project is to drop down to skellymode so my dick looks as big as possible compared to my body and possibly attempt to visit an escort late next year.
>>24606779
Your pick is pretty much spot on.
>>24606779
I sometimes wonder whether this is such a bad thing, though. I'm presently under the impression that there are people who don't aspire to much, and so are quite content to go about their business without the worry of communal or self-imposed goals. In a certain sense, those who can't meet their own, or other's, expectations ought to be worse off than the ones who don't have such expectations; for example, suppose you wanted to be a novelist. You write several fictional works, but quite a few of them are rejected by the publisher and the ones that are accepted don't sell all that well. Surely, the author would feel like shit. But if the author never went into writing with all that many predilections, wouldn't they be happier with their efforts? I really cant think of anything nearly as bad as failing to meet your own dreams, so what's the big deal about those who have none?
Also, because it's feels,
>23 soon to be 24
>Too many anime to watch
>A postgrad degree that leads nowhere
>Wanna do stuff but have no idea where to begin
I wish I had a nice book with prescriptive English grammar or with set theory to keep me entertained.
