It's idealized and romanticized heavily to pull your heart strings and those Japs have it down to a science. Anime girls are always better than real ones so you can't help getting pulled in.

I want to get enough money so I can quit my job and just watch anime allday. I don't want to work, but I have to.

Because it's harmless fun. I watch it because I don't need to think about anything just to 'get' something and enjoy it. It's just pure playful entertainment, inoffensive as hell and does not try to reach anything other than to be fun.

I don't watch anime because it makes me feel empty :(

Japanese culture is truly superior. It pains me to think that, with their increasing integration into generic Western culture and modern post-industrialization, what little remains of traditional Japanese philosophy will one day be as buried as Native American spiritualism.

The difference being that, without a written language or any formal organizations, Native (North) American spirtualism is complete trash with little depth past its momentary curb appeal of trendy eagle spirits and surreal depictions of coyotes jumping up really high and turning into constellations. Whenever you read deeply into Native American lore, remember that nearly everything written down today pretty much stems from the imagination of about three generations. The last generations could (and did) just say whatever they wanted and write it down, and it's now recorded as ancient legend. A civilization with no (or very little) written language is hardly more than a civilization of tame beasts, from a historian's perspective.

why does life have to be so ugly and unattractive compared to 2D drawings

>>38970366
I think the reason is that in stereotypical anime
>Protagonist-kun is the one we are supposed to be rooting for
>Protagonist-kun has plot attraction that makes all attractive females want him
>All the females in the show were most likely designed by a lonely man trying to imagine the best possible girl they can, small "cute" flaws allowed (clumsy, shy, eats a lot[but isn't fat])
>All the females in the show are hot, even the background characters (usually)
>Anime women are mostly made to fall in love with the Protagonist-kun, even a sneaky thief that was previously only motivated by money somehow started to find Prot-kun attractive
>They are physically nearly perfect, if they have physical flaws they are shown in a cute / attractive light (eye patch, burn marks, glasses)
>Their mental flaws (yandere, moronic childhood friend, antisocial coodere) are all flavored to be motivated by love, men are much more forgiving of flaws than women are, if the animu grill is motivated by love for prot-kun we tend to forgive her flaws because we see ourselves as prot-kun
Now onto prot-kun
>"Protagonist-kun is a mild mannered high school student that gets into small troubles with the teachers, he isn't the most popular student in school but he has the main character table trio going on with the support characters"
>Prot-kuns friends are all nakama tier loyal, even the female friends show uncharacteristic loyalty to prot-kun, even when they are teasing prot-kun they are always motivated by jovial camaraderie instead of malice
>Prot-kun will not be betrayed by core nakamas (except maybe later in the story for a short period of time after which prot-kun brings them back to the light)
>Prot-kun can have flaws but the flaws cannot be too immoral, he is a good boy and has plot attraction superpowers, something draws everyone to prot-kun, the prot-kun is never forgotten about and left to sit alone in his room except to make the scene where nakamas come cheer him up look better

It is! But the joys of watching it are found purely in the characters and their relationships.

I don't know real girls other than they are mean and doesn't care for losers. My personality and look are both repulsive so it is no wonder not a single one wanted to talk to me, ever.

I do enjoy the anime humor as well.

I didn't start watching that type of anime until I was in university. I suppose that I did get confessed to when I was in high school. It may have been a turning point in my life that actually completely changed me. Maybe my story will interest you.

I was always shy. I was never good at talking to girls when I was a kid. I just assumed they weren't interested in me and to be honest I didn't really care, video games and sports were more important to me. That's how I spent my life up until this start of grade 10. I was assigned a locker next to a girl. One from the popular 'clique'. Didn't really care, I'm quiet, but she says hi and tries to talk to me when were getting our things, I'm bad at conversation so I have no idea what to say. Adds me on Facebook, tells me she wants to seem at the fall festival that's coming up, I've been going since I was a kid so of course I was going to go. However when you're a high school student it becomes an occasion for lots of drinking and whatever other fun stuff you're supposed to do. Anyways this girl comes to me and tells me we should hang out, so we go off alone. We sit at a bench, talk a lot for maybe an hour. This was the longest I had ever talked to a girl. She tells me she likes me, I say oh, to be honest I'm kind of surprised, this is the first person to tell me they like me. Its a popular girl too, I'm just a shy kid who keeps to himself mostly. What the heck is going on were my thoughts. I didn't feel like I liked her but at least I warmed up to her.

She tells me she wants to kiss me. I had never kissed a girl. I say no because I'm confused and not sure if I want it to be my first kiss. She also seems quite drunk and all too. Not sure how we went our separate ways but I was very confused for the rest of the night and wasn't sure if I made the right decision to decline her. My best friend told me I did.

Next evening the same festival was going on and I kissed her then. Cont?

Fuck anon, sorry to hear that. If I found the shy girl of my dreams and this happened I dont know what I would do, I cant help but wonder I would be so delusional and tell her its not her fault like some kind of beta male. At this point im sure I would be too scared to lose someone I love. I also feel that the only chance at me talking to girls is getting drunk, but I have never been drunk and im 23 due to alcoholic parents.
>"it's better to have love and lose it than not have it at all"
Guess I will hang onto the dream of finding a girl who doesnt drink/party too much in order to not end up in the same situation as you. Its probably not the best path to take, but I have zero experience doing anything else but waiting.

>>38972103

>>38973931
I 'dated' the popular girl for 2 months just because I wanted experience with kissing and shit. She even sucked my cock. She cheated on me though, can't say I cared and never bothered talking to her again. She liked me for the rest of high school though. I never really liked her though so I suppose I was a dick.

At least the important part was that it made my future girlfriend jealous and me her like me more. I think the way we started dating could easily fit into the new tzurezure children anime.

>>38973931
I hope you will never have to see what lies beneath every women at their core, just as we have natural instincts and urges so do they

Men = We strive to climb endless stairs, we yearn for the climb because we all have our image of what the top is like, we embellish the idea of the top to the point nothing that is there will satisfy us, yet we are consumed by the climb, man's success is how far in the stairs he can get and how many are below him, think of it like a pyramid with steps, we envy those above us and sneer/pity at those below

Women = Think of them like rock climbers, as long as you're the highest foothold she can reach your relationship will last, the moment she thinks she can reach a "better guy" you're history to her, woman's success is in what kind of man she can get and how much other women will envy her for it

Those are the natural instincts that are at our core, there are those who have overcome those instincts but that takes effort and in modern times they are few and afar

Battle anime is the only acceptable Anne may to watch

It's an idealised world where a loser can be given great prowess and significance. It's the escape to relevance we all wish for. It never comes though. We're never going to stumple into that fantasy setting. Instead we're just growing older, fading a little every day. We become greyer inside until it shows more and more on the outside. Then we die, and nobody even notices we didn't show up for work - or the milk bottle just start piling up.

Because it shows a better world, which is something that western media largely hasn't done for 50+ years now.
We see how shit the modern world is and instinctively want back to a society that hasn't been ruined by feminism and multiculturalism, and anime provides that while western media tells you about vaginal voices.

Basically >>38975643 . In reality, if you don't at least put yourself out there as a male, you might as well die a virgin NEET in your parents basement because society as a whole simply doesn't care.

The thing that got my attention though is the large amount of males that this seems to indulge. Both IRL and 4chan/reddit/8ch/etc. you see more and more average guys have literally no experience with women whatsoever; it's not just a group of insignificant 1%ers anymore. And the scary part is that a lot of these people try, but get shot down over and over again, until wallowing in self-pity.

The mainstream, "blue pilled" society tends to see this as a non-issue, and possibly makes it even worse with stuff like virgin-shaming, calling such people losers and ultimately making it seem as if you can't get a relationship you simply must be a terrible person.

>>38976292

I don't know, I think it's another one of those vocal minority things that some people keep over inflating thanks to the Internet.
The only real "hard proof" we have of guys not getting laid is slowing birth rate, and that's probably more likely due to increased cost of living. Pretty standard in first world countries.

Or maybe this kind of thing has been going on forever and people are just starting to learn about it through the Internet.

>>38976531

>and people are just starting to learn about it through the Internet
I can fully agree with you on the fact that there's literally nothing to back up this claim up, it's just that the amount of people involved seems to be exponential.

Western values, especially in regard to having children, marriage and what people expect in relationships are all aspects that in their current state play a role, but I think it is unjust to not mention evolutionary/biological aspects such as female hypergamy that are far more profound now than 10-20 years ago since women are considerable less forced to abide social norms and instead choose what they feel like.

The thing is, most males are average. Not everyone is funny, intelligent, over 180cm/6ft and dominant. But those people want to experience intimate feelings with a significant other as well, and many seemingly don't.


>>38976953
Its hypocrisy at its finest. When a man tells people how he does not achieve his goals, people tell him to change into a completely different person, usually through things that take years and might or might not work. If a women does the same, it's societies harshness towards her and the fact that the people surrounding her make it hard for her, leading to the illusion of needed social justice.

>>38978322
The worse thing about this doesn't come from society but from nature.
It's natural to be attracted to attractive people, and unattracted/indifferent towards ugly or average people.
Unfortunately attractive people want attractive people, and ugly or average people also want attractive people.
Nobody likes unattractiveness. To expect others to be happy and satisfied with settling is hypocritical, even though it's the only option.

I've long accepted that immersing myself in weeb media has ruined me for the real world. No woman I will ever be in a position to date (so below average ones in looks and personality) will compare to those I've read about or watched, to the point where I can't imagine the situation being anything but awkward, humiliating and painful.

Obviously, but christian values such as monogamy through marriage have changed this otherwise natural divide quite drastically. This lead to fulfillment of average and undesirable males who would have otherwise fallen to natures interpretation of the pareto principle.

What is best is highly subjective. Either you force social stability and undermine natures intentions, or you let polygyny of males and hypergamy of females run free and live with the consequences of aggression through desperation of those who don't get what they want.

>you'll never meet your Haruko
feels bad

I just want to ask: How the FUCK can you try to get a gf after hearing so many horror stories of other men getting cucked?
Just look at what some anons said on this thread.
It seems the best course of action is keep on daydreaming about 2D girls.

>>38978722
in the sense that he perceives the same issues, yes.

For a lot of people here it is usually a lot worse, since they neither have the support nor any interaction with girls whatsoever.

>>38979007
If it makes you feel any better, Haruko doesn't and cannot exist, literally and figuratively.

>>38979029
>How the FUCK can you try to get a gf after hearing so many horror stories of other men getting cucked?
Desperation and the need for intimacy that never leaves your brain. No one wants to get close to girls because they have amazing personalities or because you can talk about hobbies; people talk to girls because they have vaginas, nothing more.

>>38979149
It's just that it amazes me how they betray you so easily without remorse.
It disgusts me.

>>38979200
a woman can only love her children, and even then you've read the stories about what they do to their own kids

it may sound like some dumbass ghetto shit, but the blacks have it right: love no thots, and we know that all women are thots

>>38979036
As someone who has had plenty of interaction with women:
You don't want that shit. They just mess with your head to get what they want from you and then they don't know you again.
You're better off sticking to 2D.

>>38979029

Detachment. Accept that you never truly own a woman, just enjoy them while they are around. Having one be faithful and loyal for life is a great honor, but don't bet on it.

>>38979405
>a great honor
More like great luck.

...But if everyone has an original personality,
then having an original personality would no longer be something original...
so that means anime girls are unoriginal by being original...
so now matter how original anime girls are, they are unoriginal...
since you "like it because it is original", does this mean you don't like it?

They can betray without remorse because their literal biological coding is telling them to pump out as many babies as possible. So they rush to the next guy after leaving the other and don't feel shitty about bad break ups for long because their minds are built to just move on and continue to pump out children.
Women are a literal meme and the sooner we can perfect waifu bots the better.

I remember finishing Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and watching the film only to feel completely hollow for months because I know I'd never experience any love like that or experience that kind of setting ever.
Just hearing the opening theme from the movie as Kyon walks through the school makes me cry. Fuck this gay earth.

>>38983007
I think the only way out is to simply, completely give up, and live vicariously through 2D characters' experiences while waiting for death.

>>38970366
>I think its because it gives me the female archetype that i will never encounter in real life (innocent, funny, has an original personality, not a whore etc)

What you need to realize is that this ideal - and every similar ideal - is entirely a product of the male imagination. Every image you have in your mind of the ideal woman, the type of woman you'd like to date, or even the general picture you have when you think positively of women - it's something that's been invented by men.

Your image of the ideal woman is shaped by fictional depictions that DO NOT AND WILL NEVER REFLECT REALITY. THE IDEAL WOMAN IS PURE FICTION, THEY DO NOT EXIST, WOMEN ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE.

Please wake up and realize this.

It doesn't have to be painful. Just give up. Accept that it doesn't exist and hope that the afterlife exists and is Gensokyo.

post these and find anons with similar taste?

>>38983219
go to /a/ for that dude you got the wrong thread

>>38982970
Their biological coding also tells them to respond to strength and authority. Women can be loyal - so long as you are willing to always lead them. Always be in charge, always decide what movie to watch, what restaurant to go to, tell her what clothes to wear, etc. Be misogynistic and chauvinistic. Every now and again, let her choose something, but only by telling her that you want her to be the one that chooses.
The problem with everyone on this board is they couldn't lead anyone out of a paper bag because of crippling self-esteem issues. This is why getting /fit/ is so important towards digging yourself out of this hole, it gives you the self confidence you need to order bitches around and women respond to that confidence positively.
The only /r9k/ talking point about women I agree with is that modern women being whores does make a difference. Virginal women are easier to mold into an ideal lifelong companion and there just aren't that many around anymore. I think after a few breakups people kind of get used to the normalcy of moving on to the next person after a year or two and marriage is only able to add a few extra years of shelf-life to a relationship. In some ways, the Mormons have this shit figured out and their lifetime marriage success rate is extraordinarily high.

>>38983238

Doesn't really matter to me what kind of shows people like so long as they can justify it, I just think it's fun discussing what kind of things you like and dislike about a show.

What kind of anime constitutes good taste to you anon?

>>38983670
NHK, monogatori, most things directed by Anno, FLCL, Lain, Wolf Children, Monster, anything Satoshi Kon
Mainly character study shows. I get that people just want to "shut their brains off" but that's the equivalent of watching a marvel movie or transformers, and I can't stand that basic shit.

>>38983734

>>38983734
I like shows like you mentioned too but I watch generic moe and cute girls doing cute things for escapism. It's the visual and auditory equivalent of mainlining heroin. Shonen and seinen you have to pay attention to and there's generally a plot to follow but with this stuff you can just kick back and fantasize.

>>38983734
We have fairly similar taste overall, that said I never really hit it off with NHK and I started to enjoy the monogatari series less as it went on.

If you haven't watched any I'd recommend contemplative journey style anime like Casshern Sins, Mushishi, and Kino's Journey.

>>38983840
my generic moe fix is Nichijou and my shounen fix is re-reading Berserk. I need better moe to watch. Gonna watch K-On once I find a download for it and started watching Lucky Star.

Little Witch Academia is fucking perfection for moe goodness also.

>>38983851
I've heard great shit about Mushishi. Think after I watch that I'll cleanse out my tears with some laughter by watching Ghost Stories dubbed.

I prefer to read mangas, currently HxH, Blame, Boku no hero academia, Battle royale

>>38983804
The best part was the OST.
That "taste of sugar" scene really made me feel.

>>38983872
Yuyushiki and Yuru Yuri are probably the top cgdct animus.
Also I'm endlessly angry that berserk has most of its anime animated in 3D. It looks like hot garbage.

>>38983961
I just read it over again and watch the 90's anime. Those are the only acceptable forms of Berserk to me. Golden age films are meh till the 3rd one.

What are you going to say next. Don't go for virgins, experienced girls are better.

>>38970366
Step 1:
The first step to overcoming anime addiction is to recognize just how much of a trash human being you are. Weebs, /r9k/obots and in general the kind of people susceptible to this kind of stuff, while not full blown narcissists, often perceive themselves as some kind of superior being, whether it being some kind of trait, or a certain world view(often being initially sensitive to people, but turning bitter over time). This lends them to believing in impossibly high standards(standards which no one in history has ACTUALLY ever achieved), and that they "settling" for anything less then this fantasy is somehow a "downgrading" or a path to misery.

Step 2:
The next step is self reconciliation, along with recognizing that anime is just a caricature of reality... Including everything you love about it. These elements which have been so purified down to a format that has you addicted, hasn't come cheap. Every innocent has needed a soldier to bleed for them, hard back breaking work to build this infrastructure these imaginary school girls(reflections of real things) use to live out their lives. If you were in a anime, or met a anime wafiu, what would be their advice to you? Continue to embrace fantasy while your life rots away and the curtain closes? Or break through and do GOOD with your life? There are pearls and diamonds among the filth of reality that makes it worth living... And more importantly its REAL.

That's a hell of a lot of projection, armchair-kun.

Your step 2 doesn't even really posit a clear thought, it's just a bunch of equivocationary bullshit.

Blame is good taste. I've tried searching for stuff similar to it, besides the authors other works there isn't much. If you think cyborgs are cool I guess you could try Battle Angel Alita but it has nothing in common thematically or artistically.
