Ever just
wake up and realize your a side character, /a/?
maybe im autistic
>>153610342
>side character
Hah. I'm barely a background character.
>>153610342
You're the main character of your life. But your show is shit and the side characters are more interesting.
>>153610382
But there's no side characters here.
>>153610342
But I am the only real person and everyone else is just someone I made up in my head.
>>153610382
You should be allow to cancel the show if it's shit.
i am a main character in cocoon mode
Who writes my dialogue? It's fucking atrocious.
>>153610889
You could always axe it yourself.
>>153610342
don't socialize
doing that you forcefully become the mc
>wake up
>realise it's time to fap
>the NEET arc goes on for years
dropped
>>153610810
How can you be the only real person when I'm the only real person?
>>153611425
That's exactly what a fake person trying to make me question my convictions would say! I am not falling for your tricks.
>>153611425
Is it possible that I imagine someone else saying they are the only real person, merely for the purpose of challenging my beliefs? Am I so self-centered?
>>153610342
I don't even feel like the main character of my own life, let alone in the grand scale of things.
>>153610342
what makes a main character? you could argue we're all the MC of a slice of life series
>>153610342
I'm the main character though.
It's just that my series isn't terribly interesting.
>>153610360
Can't be a background character if you're never even in the background.
>>153611602
>what makes a main character?
Focus.
Read Bride Stories, either every girl is main character, or none are.
The thing is, it's really easy IRL to focus on people who are not ourselves and that's bad because there are so many awful people out there but we only know the good things they did; so we compare an idealized version of them with us, and we feel like failures.
A side character wouldn't have as many problems as me.
>>153610342
This about sums me up perfectly.
>>153610342
I'm the director, writer and producer of this show.
The characters are little more than pawns in my game, little roaches for me to play with and torment.
>>153610342
But i am the main character. I am the class president and im throwing a huge party and i even got some really good weed. Also, everybody else looks like a steretype. We have the bearded biker/photographer, a tanned and good looking blonde guy, a fat smart guy, a long haired and skinny gamer, a bald car guy, a jew-nosed filmmaker and girls.
>>153611602
>we're all the MC of a slice of life series
That would require me to have a life.
>>153612137
if my life was a show people would stop watching in 5 minutes, I literally just sit in front of a computer all day
>>153612137
>>153612176
Welcome to the NHK!
>no meaningful character interaction since the start of the show
dropped
>>153610342
>Wake up and realize I'm the side character
>I guess its all right because I have the most porn of me drawn
>>153612137
>>153612176
You know what that means anons. Your story is just beginning. Every story starts off as the MC being a loser and defying all odds to rise to the top.
>>153612284
This story doesn't have a happy ending. Everybody involved gets hurt by the end. If you in front of your screen are looking for a good time, look elsewhere, because this anime brings nothing but despair. This is...
[Title Card]
>>153610342
If you know settings, then no problem, live your peaceful life in Japan (for the most of anime).
If no, try to survive and go for a good end.
>>153613425
That's season 1. Season 2 has a new director.
>>153610342
My life isn't an anime so I can't even be a side character.
If I was a part of a book, it wouldn't be worth reading.
>>153610342
>you will never be a side character in Nichijou
why is life so cruel?
I always wanted to play a VN where you play as a side character and have to endure the annoyance that the MC puts on the class each day. You could chill with all the other side characters, scheming and plotting to somehow take the spotlight.
>>153610342
I am the main character in my own farce.
>have been recognized as the best in shool at thing X on a couple of occasions, once voted by my peers (voted "the best athlete", though the school did not really have any decent athletes so I guess I would have been a decent choice, though all that athletic stuff is long behind me now) I also was the best male student once
>have been the center of attention many times, more often than not for the wrong reasons (me fucking up in various improbable ways)
Though as time went by I became more and more timid due to my failures and embarrasments and fell into the backround, kind of like the opposite of what is supposed to happen and what is normal I guess. I would rather be a side character, though nowadays I am more of a backround character and that is completely ok. When I weigh in the good and the bad I think I end up "in the red".
>>153616165
You should be the ermit mentor.
>>153612284
I was much less of a loser a few years ago. My life is really only getting worse, and it's entirely my fault.
You all may be side characters, but you'recuteside characters.
>>153610342
I realized that I'm an MC and so is everyone else
so all the plot armor kinda cancels each other out
>>153610916
the artist sucks too
Ever wake up and realize that your life was made to pander to a specific fetish?
Ever read a funny thread on /a/ and then realize that you're the villain of someone else's story? Except you're not the main villain, you're just a sub-boss in the first half of the first cour.
>>153618778
>villain
In order to have enemies you need to interact with people, silly anon.
>>153618842
But anon, the first cour is already over.
I didn't expect a zombie manga to give me feels
>>153619484
I hate that autist mc.
>>153610342
Mob, you are the main character of your own life, but you are not the main character of this world.
>equating reality to narrative structures and themes
>forgetting that stories are purposefully non-representative of reality
Yes, you're autistic. Also, you and everyone else fucked up post-modernism and deconstructionism. Not only do you have a mental disability, you're also a complete idiot.
>>153619531
Are you sure you're not projecting on to him, and thus hate yourself?
>>153619589
>forgetting that stories are purposefully non-representative of reality
Which is the problem you otaku trash.
Anime was a mistake.
>>153619669
Yes. If I was in a post apocalyptic scenario I wouldn't sperg out not being able to pay for water from vending machine in middle of nowhere.
He's such a retard.
