| Just curious. Has there ever been an anime where upon reflecting on the story or perhaps a characters arc found yourself a little annoyed at yourself? or reflect upon your own life? or even sad? Say you are having a problem and you watch an anime where a character overcomes something similar, then you get annoyed at yourself because you can't do the same and feel ashamed of yourself. Or the classic post anime depression when you realize that the epic adventure you have been watching and getting to know the characters was actually just a person sat on their own in the dark watching animated characters living more a life then your own. Again just a random question that poped into my head, was interested. Personally I felt a little ashamed of myself after playing Persona 4, throughout the game the message was that running away from your problems will only hurt you and the people around you and you must face them to become stronger and friendship is something a person needs to grow. Only to realize I was doing exactly that, constantly running from my problems and also having no real friends either :p Still did it anyway, ruined my university degree ah well, never mind. |

So it helped improve yourself, or at least make you aware of how a persons actions can affect others, thats good. |

| Anime fans, reflecting on themselves?? LOL No silly! They just subconsciously transfer all of their self-loathing onto whoever the main character happens to be! Or just any character that's not a cute girl, really. |

Not really. That actually happened in real life and if I didn't feel angry about myself there then fiction is not gonna make me feel that way. I fixed that problem on my own but it was not because of some anime. I don't believe that fiction can change people or let them reflect deeper upon themselves. |

| Sometimes. Like: fuck you, self, why are you watching this tripe when you have a thesis to write |

| Diabolik Lovers Wife Beaters. Angry that there are female species like MC who finds being called "Bitch-chan" and getting raped totally fine. |
| I was angry at myself after I watched Ro-Kyu-Bu. Angry because I had always taken the goodness of lolis for granted until that day. |
 |
| I feel like welcome to the nhk really made me sad and kind of angry at myself. I never really tried much in highschool and got into a really good engineering program after only applying to 1 school. When i got to school i got way to nervous and spent the first 2 months in my apartment not attending classes then dropped out. |

I think it shows how big of an impact that your actions can cause and how much you influence other people. |

| I am currently watching sakurasou no pet and I get mad at myself for not following my dream and becoming something of myself when these characters try to do things over and over. I maintain my lame job when I could get a better one haha |
