During the last 10 years or so here, I've noticed the trend and tide turning against enjoyment of watching the ideal. People nowadays seem much more interested in seeing characters portrayed "realistically". Back when I started watching anime, lucky star came out, a girl who just like you plays video-games, obsesses over her favorite anime, vn and figures, she has friends and even though she seemingly has had a rough life, is happy and content. Now it seems that people enjoy watching those similar to them, without friends, obsessing over the same things they like while falling deeper into the horrible realization that the life they lead isnt that great.
What the fuck happened?

I think it's completely the opposite. The industry is full of more blatant wish fulfillment than ever. Issakei dominates.

Both are shit, all anime is shit, just make a fucking good one for Christ's sake

>literally my fucking life sucks and I died
>I am only happy after i died and left the world

But it's not realism. It's the pinnacle of "look at me, I get to be awesome!"

Why not both?
tomoko has much worse things to worry about than her friend liking her

Realism, from that perspective.
But more than that, something that focuses on otaku, specially socially retarded otaku.
NHK>Genshiken but Otaku no Video>all.

There was a TTGL vs Lucky Star fanbase war back then so that shit is nothing new (I know neither are realistic but still).
I like ideal and realistic and believe both should be rated by their own standards (I don't expect realism to be ideal but it has to be realistic, I don't expect the ideal to be realistic but I expect it to be ideal).

Maybe the more miserable people become, the more we want to see characters like us work it out and hope we can do the same.

Both Konata and Tomoko are good.
I like both because im not fucking retard that sees everything in black and white
