I feel completely empty and I don't know what to do about it.
>be me
>last week
>bored
>get recommended anime by weeb friend
>never into anime very much
>watched only two others throughout whole life
>watch anyways
>initially unimpressed, but satisfied
>story progresses, feel obligated to see it through to the end
>spend every minute of free time watching
>take sick days just to watch
>several days ago
>probably devote over 100 hours of my life to watching the show in under a week
>show ends
Now that it is over, now that I have seen it all, I am left feeling hollow. Nothing is able to satisfy this void inside of me. It's like all the characters I got to know and appreciate were violently torn away from me. What do I do, /r9k/? How do I find fulfillment in my life again?
>inb4 more anime
Fuck no. Imo, this was an exception, not the rule.

Thats how I started too. Used to think anime was that gay thing 14 year old teenagers watched. Then I got too sick to go out for a few days and a friend suggested I watch Naruto. Thought it was gonna be terrible but I was too sick to even play vidya so I though I might as well. That shit was amazing and I felt broken when I caught up with the anime and finished the manga.
Couple months later I saw a snipped of TTGL and decided I should maybe try it since its only 24 eppisodes. It was amazing and I started looking for more stuff to watch. After watching most of the classics I noticed I was sort of more interested in the romance and all the other stuff was just (super interesting) padding.
So one night I got really drunk and decided to watch Toradora because it had a pretty good rating and the cover picture was the most generic thing I've ever seen.
That was 3 years ago and now I play romcom visual novels because I've seen every good anime in the genera. Still watch and read other stuff but if romance isn't a part of it I probably won't touch it unless its exceptional.

You are empty. Anime is not a substantial hobby. I encourage you to look inside yourself. It will be difficult but also rewarding. Calm your mind and investigate your existence. Are you happy right now? Why not?

Well, I'm not bappy because I was born short, ugly, and poor. How in the fuck do you suggest I be happy in spite of those things?
>>27572251

Danganronpa

What is this your first run-in with fiction in your life? I experienced those feels for the first time back in fucking elementary school reading fantasy novels and playing JRPGs. Growing attached to fictional characters and worlds is a dangerous thing since they're always going to end up being ripped away from you in the end. Such is the way of escapism.

I was very into all forms of fiction throughout much of my late childhood. My favorites were usually very dark stories with a romantic subplot, once I matured enough to like that kind of stuff.

It took you 100 hours to watch 13 eps?

>Anime is not a substantial hobby
I mean, its as substantial as watching tv or reading (lets be real most people just read twilight or ASOIAF).

Don't worry senpai its just normal post-show-depression. It happens to a lot of people. Eventually you learn to enjoy the ride and not feel too bad when it ends. Its a good mindset to have in general. Lots of people don't like going home from a party because they don't want the night to end, but there are always more interesting characters and setting tomorrow (in both anime and real life).

Nah, familia. I watched the entirety of the video games on YouTube. Since its essentially an anime in that form anyways, I decided not to confuse the issue in the OP.
