And that's anime ruined for me. My last fucking escape. Video games died a long time ago, mostly because I have no one to play with. What the hell am I meant to do now......... How do you robots pass the time waiting for death? Why should I even wait why shouldn't I just off myself right now?
>Angel Beats is favorite anime
Maybe you should try watching something that isn't total garbage, anon? I mean, anime is stupid bullshit for manchildren, sure, but when you're watching it for a good portrayal of actual human interactions you're doing it wrong in the first place.
Anime is chiefly for cute girls and cool fights that make no sense. The stories are pretty much always fucking dumb (less, even LoGH is shit). Direct your escapism to other aspects of the medium.
>because they've never acted like that towards me
Brutal. If you stop comparing yourself to anime characters maybe you'll enjoy them again.
How do you robots pass the time waiting for death?
Posting here , drinking a lot and day dreaming about how life could have been.
You might as well stick around. Your feelings will eventually go away and you'll enjoy anime again, who knows maybe you'll get to live through an apocalyptical situation and it'll make everything better for us.
>>27348750
What would you say is a good anime? Welcome to the NHK started all of this.
>Direct your escapism to other aspects of the medium.
Pls suggest one? One that can be done inside and doesn't need friends..
>>27348805
>If you stop comparing yourself to anime characters maybe you'll enjoy them again.
I didn't think I was. If I don't even realise I'm doing it how do I stop?
> who knows maybe you'll get to live through an apocalyptical situation and it'll make everything better for us.
That is literally the only reason I'm alive, swine flu 2.0 when.
>>27348648
good, you finally realized that weabshits are the bottom of the trash.
now do your mom a favor and put yourself down
>>27348933
I own my own 2 bedroom flat. My mom is an abusive whore who I haven't spoken to in 7 years. We don't all come from good families like you cunt.
>>27348648
I don't know anon. I don't know. Even if you stay away from escapism for a while life won't magically become good.
I tried to become a normie but failed hard. My life is wageslaving and coming back to a tiny studio appartment. No matter how much volunteering, hanging out with friends and family I do in my free time, life sucks and is bland at best, but horrible most if the time if you have several chronic illnesses like me. And since I will die a khhv I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm trying to force myself back into escapism but it doesn't work. It doesn't work and I'm lost.
>>27348648
OP, do you look down on people who think that Asian entertainment is not the best entertainment? Because you should.
If you say yes, I'll write you a wall of text.
>>27349030
That picture says it all :/
>if you have several chronic illnesses like me
I don't but you're stronger than me for realising all this with those problems and continuing. I wish I could become a normie.
>>27349106
yes
>>27348862
>Welcome to the NHK started all of this
explains a lot
>>27349439
Elaborate? I only made it to where that chick comes in, think it was ep 3.
>>27348862
You need to start watching anime for cute girls and cool fights, like I said.
You also need to realize you will never have a good life or cool friends or anything like that. We, as anime fans, are fucking losers that screwed up along the way, and this is what we have left.
>>27348648
>How do you robots pass the time waiting for death?
playing MMOs and going to gym, not much else
>>27348648
i'll play games with you op

listen to this guy op, this will fix your shit, let yourself go and never try again, be okay with your current situation.
>Angel Beats
Okay anon, but there are much better anime to watch than Angel Beats. Then again, you could do worse.
At least watch Naoki Urasawa's Monster.
>>27348648
When I was little I realized 2D and 3D or real life is two seperate thing. In 2D everything can happen, people are nice, and there are goals worth fighting for. However 3D is entirely different. People are awful and there is only suffering.
I separated the two worlds and this way I can enjoy 2D at least.
berserk made me realize you either struggle, and struggle hard as fuck to get anywhere important
or you die, and make room for the next
its brutally motivating desu, and i 100% recommend
>>27349517
Le cynical reverse psychology
>>27349544
Berserk is still fiction. In this world many people sit on their ass and get all the important things, others struggle all their lives and get nothing. I have all the possible examples in my family. There's no rule.
>>27349517
>>27349515
He either embraces that anime is for children, losers and creeps, or he stops watching it and goes to make real friends. It's literally that simple.
>>27349544
Are you maybe a little bit illiterate?
Because Berserk shows that Guts, despite his hard work, has been fucked over by fate routinely and richly.
And Griffith got where he is today because he found a cool magic face-egg after years of torture.
If anything, Berserk teaches that fate is above human struggle and ambition.
>>27349515
I heard you were talking shit cunt
>>27349520
But Monster is fucking terrible and stupid.
>>27348750
High quality shitpost. If Evangelion is not a good portrayal of actual human interaction I don't know what to say.
>>27349594
Missed the point.
>>27349604
>Are you maybe a little bit illiterate?
im not the one posting anime girls
you missed the whole point of berserk, and why its awesome. random anime consumer, plz kys
I'm so glad that japanese animators noticed that the autisitc manchildren demographic is willing to buy every single product from a show that panders to their pedophilia. Now we get hundred of autism shows about girls doing trivial and uninteresting shit all day. I have severe autism so I focus on every detail, sometimes I watch the same bit of an episode twelve times while jerking my micro dick. I also download thousands of anime girls pictures every day, I have three Terabytes hardrives filled already, I must have as much as possible or else I throw a tantrum and shit my pants. The best part of all is that I'm proud of it thanks to 4chan, this place has taught me to accept being a worthless sack of shit beyond hope, I'm okay with me and I think it's a virtue and sign of intelligence to be a dense fucking anime retard. Thank you my friends thanks to you I'm not only talking trash but an obnoxious talking trash
>>27349663
I actually do have about 6TB worth of anime porn.
thank you gelbooru and pixiv
>>27349251
Alright, I'm gonna try to give you some of my perspectives.
Please read all of it!
>>27348949
First of all, all real life parents are bad people.
Childbirth is illogical, disgusting, and immoral.
>Illogical because you're giving up your free time. In other words, no one who truly likes Asian entertainment would have kids. And anyone who doesn't like anime is a soulless retard. You also risk giving birth to a bad person. You give up money as well.
>Disgusting: The woman's vagina is ruined, she gets stretchmarks, her nipples become dark and grotesque. Also, a baby is touching her vagina which is JUST.
>Immoral: Creating sentient life that is doomed to die is immoral. No intelligent person with a healthy body should not want immortality IMO because there is Asian entertainment to enjoy. Therefore, dying is sad. The last memory of a person's life will be sad. If someone is going to exist and then not exist, their suffering is more important than their happiness. "Better than never having been born" makes no sense obviously.
The fact that 1/3 of the world's males get genitally mutilated should speak volumes about how intelligent parents really are.
I don't mind parent characters in anime too much though since they are good plot devices and characters who need no introduction.
Next I want to explain why having a favorite anime at all is kind of unhealthy. It's basically saying "all other anime are inferior to this one" which is depressing. And this depressing mindset can get stronger over time as you become more attached to your favorite anime.
All good anime are beautiful in their own way.
Jun Maeda, the creator of Angel Beats, seems to have no problem with parenthood. He put a pregnancy ending in the recent Angel Beats VN. And before that, he made Clannad, a game in which you play as a father.
This means that he is a soulless retard and Angel beats it bad.
I have more but what do you think of this so far?
You need to play REAL video games
God Hand, DMC3, Viewtiful Joe. MAX DIFFICULTY. DO IT ANON UNLEASH YOUR AGGRESSION AGAINST COMPUTER OPPONENTS!
>>27349512
I really could care less about something this subjective. Everyone has an opinion. As seen by this;
>>27349520
>>27349628
>>27349680
I agree with everything you've written except about having a favourite anime, it's just the one I connect with most for some reason, I couldn't ever pin point the reason why it's my favourite.
>>27349767
If you could care less, feel free to do so
>>27349789
Grow up anon.
>>27349628
It's one of the better animes and is largely devoid of typical Japanese bullshit. I would honestly recommend that anime to non anime fans if I have to recommend an anime to them.
>>27349767
But... Jun Maeda...
What will you do if Jun Maeda has children?
I do think dumb people are capable of writing entertaining anime, but being dumb enough to have children is crossing the line.
It shows, too. Anime written by parents are all incredibly terrible even at a glance.
Angel Beats is actually one of the first shows I watched and there was a time that I called it my favorite. But time went on and I evolved and etc.
>>27349832
It wouldn't bother me
If I had to pick my second favourite would be clannad after story so yeah :/. I just like what I like, I don't really look at the writers.
>>27349886
>clannad after story
jesus christ you're beyond saving.
if you're female, it might explain why
>>27349886
>clannad
the visual style..
what is up with this "looks bad, must watch!" shit?
AoT manga is the same thing
>>27349886
See? You've had them as your favorite for so long that you've grown too attached to them!
It might be nostalgia. Did you watch Charlotte, Maeda's newest show? I read some things about that show that just sounded unbelievably bad. Like Maeda did drugs and then made it bad on purpose like SO bad.
>>27349656
>reads manga
>criticizes anime girls
L O L
>you missed the whole point of berserk, and why its awesome.
That struggle is good for the sake of struggle, and an end in itself, because that is what it means to be human? Hey, that might be the "point" of the story, but it's certainly not what the story itself is showing to be true. Now, of course, you could take this as inspirational OR infuriatingly hopeless, but I guess you've got a healthier mental state than some of us.
Also, I hope you know that Miura loves cute anime girls.Berserk is inferior to a few other manga, though your taste is pretty good if you like Berserk at all. Hope you didn't bother with the shit-tier anime though.
>>27349663
>I'm so glad that japanese animators noticed that the autisitc manchildren demographic is willing to buy every single product from a show that panders to their pedophilia.
that very demographic is being forcefully drafted into japanese military as we speak, its already felt by the industry with the sales decreasing
enjoy your moeshit dying over the span of the next few years
>>27349914
I'm a guy.
I've literally seen thousands of animes man but yeah, idk, we all use anime as escapism, mine tend to be sad/family orientated, I don't have a family and like I said haven't for 7 years so that would explain it.
I would put Knights of Sidonia and Code Geassin my top 20, is that redeeming at all?
>>27349917
I watch anime for the story, art has never bothered me.
>>27349932
I haven't seen that one. Sounds weird.
>>27349932
And yeah I see I am attached.
>>27349934
i dont give a shit what he likes, long as he doesnt die before he completes berserk
you can die though. useless shit eater. and take your moe anime shit to hell with you
berserk is purely about overcoming odds, and never giving up even when everything is stacked against you. Intuition > luck, fate and chance.whiny faggot.

I remember when I was fourteen and had only a vague understanding literary themes too, anon, but this board is 18+.
Hope this cute anime girl brightens your day, even if she's a little smug.

>I watch anime for the story
The former is a better reason for suicide though.

I guess I won't type out the rest if you insist on liking Angel Beats.
How old are you by the way?
>>27350140
>can't even figure out what Berserk is about
>claims it's also superficial and easy to understand
You're the best kind of faggot to make fun of.

Lol. Why don't you go ask /a/ for some recs senpai.
Have another cute anime girl. This one has a nice butt.
>>27348862
It's called a fully modded skyrim
>>27350180

You can post the rest, I like hearing your opinion. The only anime I don't like for reasons other than I couldn't ever have those friendships is welcome to the NHK. I'm used to be pretty non biased.
>>27350210
>failed everything asked of him, much like in real life and school
>cant even back up his own claim of berserk being inferior to other work
comical
here, have a oberstein on the house you weak faggot lol
>>27350266
I have a fully modded skyrim. Pic related. Can you think of any more I need?
>>27350267
What do you not like about NHK?
>>27350278
Anon, you've embarrassed yourself enough today, and all the overrated baby-tier political philosophy in the world isn't going to invalidate how much of a faggot you proved yourself to be. Please accept this response as pity for your child-like mind, and also, as a smug egobooster for myself.
Have a final cute anime picture I selected just for you. JUST for you, anon.
>>27350307
I just go and browse all mods, sometimes there's really good ones that the "mainstream" has caught yet that can really improve the play
Also sorry I'm at work on mobile right now I can't get you that list yet.
But I've dropped every media except sky rim and it really has been bliss immersing myself with the same character I've used since I bought the game.
>>27350345typing this muchcaring this much because i said his little girl anime sucks and berserk is GOAT
>>27350311
I feel it's very unrelatable and the girl thing really annoyed me. A girl would never meet a guy like him at night alone.
>>27350365
Hasn't
>>27350375
>A girl would never meet a guy like him at night alone
its supposed to give NEETs hope that someone will eventually care about them
>>27350375
Did you finish it?
>>27350399
No it's not you retard.
>>27350365
>>27350390
Unfortunately it just stopped doing it for me. I have put in over 1000 hours on my modded skyrim but the immersion just isn't there. I have been considering buying a dev kit VR and I've read of mods that make skyrim VR compatible which might get me back into it but right now everything on it just feels so static, I need more dialog and such. I just want a virtual world. Nerv gear when :/
>>27350406
>No it's not you retard
mad that i have a better, and much more mature way of looking at the outcome of NHK?
[spoilers]sucks2bu[/spoiler]inb4 an "anime guru" tells me im interpreting my own opinion wrong
>>27350399
But it's so unrealistic, it's so much like this guys pic >>27349030, it's false hope and I see straight through it.
>>27350406
No I didn't. Should I?
>>27350437
I'd literally rather die than play Skyrim all day.
I can't even imagine having taste that bad, Oh my fucking God.
>>27350457
>But it's so unrealistic
unrealistic, but not impossible, especially if you do take steps to improve your situation like the MC did, and unlike that one girls brother did.
>>27350465
You've only played vanilla. It's a totally different game with 83gb of mods.
How do you keep yourself entertained anon?
>>27350440
The anime literally tells you how unrealistic it is.
It's subverting the trope.
The message is that you shouldn't hope for someone to come and save you.
We see how that turns out in NHK.
>>27350457
>it's false hope
Yes, that's the point of NHK.
>>27350375
I don't think anime is suppose to reflect real life. There are so many factors that make the show unrealistic besides that, or try to cherrypick certain events to happen to make the show seem really heartwarming.
I still like anime though. If you try to connect them you would obviously be disappointed.
>>27350437
See I never run out of dialogue because new things are always happening and , well, I talk to my game out loud, seriously talking makes me fully immersed even though it makes me legit crazy. . . Oh well I guess.
>>27350486
You know there are other games aside from Skyrim, right? There's also stuff like Netflix and books to read.
>>27350570
>I don't think anime is suppose to reflect real life.
Yes, out of thousands of anime, none is supposed to reflect real life.
>>27350567
>The anime literally tells you how unrealistic it is.
>It's subverting the trope.
read>>27350476
is also me
i know its unrealistic, but you are just bitching if you think someone WONT come into your life, if you are actually improving it, and trying.
yes, some of us end up alone forever. make sure thats not you.
>>27350602
they attempt to but it has to be visually entertaining at the same time. Who would watch an anime about a guy who works all day and comes home to his family. You can't expect to get great ratings on that.
what do you think?
>>27350567
Oh.
>>27350570
>here are so many factors that make the show unrealistic besides that, or try to cherrypick certain events to happen to make the show seem really heartwarming.
True. I'll make it the next anime I watch and finish it up. Maybe watching it through will change my opinion.
>>27350591
I walk to myself too. All the time. I often act out conversations I wish I could have for some reason. We're all crazy.
>>27350592
Yeah. I have been playing the division lately by that I mean I played it for 37 hours in one go and am now sick of it. I have netflix too but not a lot on there interests me. I really should cancel my sub.
>>27350608
By unrealistic, I don't mean impossible.
It's just really unlikely.
>you are just bitching if you think someone WONT come into your life, if you are actually improving it, and trying.
But the thing is that Misaki confronts him.
He doesn't do anything to improve his situation until Misaki shows up.
An innocent girl magically appears to save you, who wouldn't want that.
NHK seems to do that but the greater picture reveals how toxic this mindset is and that it's important to actually try to improve instead of wishing for help.
>>27348648
>tokyo ghoul
>angel beats
You're doing anime wrong, next you'll tell me you love AoT.
Watch this instead and stop self-inserting that much, it's a lot better to seperate life from anime:
>Barakamon
This anime is comfortable as fuck and such an escape from daily life, especially if you live in the city. The mc is in his 20s and a narcissist calligrapher so he goes to this art exhibition and ends up getting panned by this old critic. He attacks the critic for giving harsh critique but his dad finds out and he decides to send the mc to the country side to relieve him from the city stress. Now he lives in a village with nice people and practices his calligraphy but he's always interrupted by a mischieveous little girl and her friends and ends up being pulled into her hijinks, learning life lessons and gaining inspiration for his calligraphy from the small village.
>Lovelab
Turns the cute girls doing cute things upside down and you follow a girl who is the typical delinquent archetype and another girl who's admired by the whole school for her lady-like image. The delinquent is sent to the student council room and ends up walking in on that other girl making out with her dakimura. The lady girl begs the delinquent to not tell anyone since their school is all-girls and apparently the girls aren't allowed to have boyfriends. The delinquent however brags about being an expert on relationships so the lady girl begs her to teach her the way to get a bf, even though the delinquent never had a relationship. So together they attempt to master romance and fail spectularly everytime. This show has legitimately good writing and comedy and little things that happen briefly in the beginning manage to have great consequences towards the end. Everything ties together in this show.
>>27351227
not OP but you sold me on Lovelab. Already watched Barakamon, it was good too.
>>27350667
Fuck off Usagi Drop was beautiful.
>>27351274>tfw you convinced someone to watch an anime
>>27350602
Fiction is inherently incapable of reflecting real life
>>27348648
Go out and try to be that kind of friend.
no need to read nietzsche, you got it almost.
>>27348648
watch evangelion; it's the only anime I know of that's not shit. it should be required watching material for all robots
>>27351227
I don't like AoT but I am secret fan of Fairy Tail. Eh, we like what we like.
Both of those sound interesting, I'll put them at 2 and 3 after NHK. Lovelab seems like something I could get on board with. Thanks for the suggestions.
>>27351458
I've seen it, not a huge fan but it's definitely a stand out.
>>27351713
all I can say is if you were living for anime then the scope of your problems is beyond my understanding
you can either kill yourself or you can continue on a downward path. But what you have to remember is "cutting your losses" isn't a really viable strategy, unless you believe in an afterlife or something. The best option is to make efforts to increase your chances of not being unhappy in the future. It's still based on luck, but it's usually better than doing nothing at all or killing yourself. If you already knew this, then why aren't you taking steps to improve your situation?
>>27351963
It wasn't anime it was the escapism that anime provided me. Made me feel emotions, makes me smile in happiness and makes me cry, makes me worry and care about fiction characters, I guess I lived through it so I guess I do live for anime, idk.
I don't believe in an afterlife but I would hope there is one, same with a deity. I don't actually want to kill myself, I want friends, I want family, I want to improve my situation, I want to be able to help someone and have them help me. I've tried making friends but it always seems so hollow, like an act, partly because I feel like I have to put on an act to make people like me, I don't have a personality or maybe I fear showing my personality because of things that have happened in the past, I don't consciously compare my life to anime but I obviously do it. I just want to be unconditionally accepted by someone and do the same to them, I think that's what a best friend is?
I just dumped a lot on you but yeah. Were you ever in a situation like this? Could you offer advice? I think friends would really help me, I study so I am exposed to new people and they are nice but I just do everything alone, I'm extremely anxious all the time, walking into class is a nightmare, I hear my heartbeat in my ears going boom boom, I feel like everyone is watching and judging me. I recently did a group assignment in a group by myself, I got good marks but it would have been nice to be forced to socialise but then again those same feelings about acting would have appeared. Idk man.
