| As in for example, as you watch it you actually feel that you are, in fact listening in on every conversation. That in fact everything is occuring right in your face. Every glorious moment, every sad event. You learn to love the characters and treat them as if you actually met them. The line between here and there is slowly vanishing as you indulge yourself into episode after episode... Yet when you end it, it quite hurts as your part in that life has ended... unless a sequel gets released. Then you can rejoice once again as if you've been reincarnated... All this... just because of curiosity :P |
| hey lookie here another empty topic... might be that i am too psychological... who am i talking too anyway... see another factor of my psychological aspects... *sigh* this is getting quite lethargic... i guess i'll just go to sleep now... |

| oyea, if you do go browsing old topics, unless you really find it really, really interesting, don't go reviving it, but otherwise, welcome to MAL! as for this topic, i sometimes feel that its a developing trait, as this last year, i've been gradually becoming more and more involved when watching anime, feeling the same pains and happiness(es?) that the characters do |

| yeah THAT feeling... it is somewhat of a thorn on your side. Yet that thorn isn't all that bad. |
| I know the exact feeling you're talking about. When I finished reading The Malloreon (a fantasy series by David Eddings), I felt as though I was bidding a final farewell to old friends as I flipped the back cover. I felt as though I had suffered the same trials they did, with them. Yeah. I know the feeling very well. |
You can find me on IRC. |
| I can kinda relate to some anime that I watch, but I don't know about merging. I think you get just a little to into the anime that you watch...Just a little XD |
| well ok... merging MIGHT not be the most appropriate word... yet it does seem applicable :p |
zeekikari said: well ok... merging MIGHT not be the most appropriate word... yet it does seem applicable :p Not really. Merging would be mutual. The story (series, book, whatever) isn't impacted by you in the slightest. Your mental conditions are purely on your end, so it's not mutual. |
zeekikari said: Immersed might be a better word.well ok... merging MIGHT not be the most appropriate word... yet it does seem applicable :p |
 |
| haha that's the word... IMMERSED i was just thinking what could have been a better word. and bamm.. there it is... |
| not with a series cuz the episodes are too short. with movies it happens, first time i watched Grave of the Fireflies is one i can think of off the top of my head. |

| I was like this for Kanon 06. I was so emotionally attached to the characters. |
 |
| *sigh* This reminds me of Death Note, Junjo and Avatar.....as soon as it ended, I felt so.....sad! It was like...I really became atached to it! I want more now XD |
| I do get a lil to into an anime sometimes and just HATE when it ends >.< |
 |
| no... I never felt any emotional or physical attachment to an anime. I thought I was into Code Geass for a while, but I'm not even sure anymore, since I'm not exactly impatiently 'anticipating the next episode' any more. |
      |
| I think that when an anime gets too long (too many eps) any emotions you feel towards it (whether it's anticipation, attachment...etc) gradually fades, so it's easiest for me to be attached to anime series ranging from about 10 eps to 26 eps. |

| this has happened to me with a few slice of life series-Lucky Star, Mahoraba, and especially Sketchbook (which i went into a bit of a depression for a few days after finishing), especially given their character-driven nature, you get to used to the characters being there, it leaves a feeling of emptiness once the series is over |
| NHK ni youkoso. luckily i watched this anime just in time before i become a hikikomori myself. LOL after watching hajime no ippo i started to use my sister as a sandbag to jab lol (but i cant do a body/liver blow to her haha) |
| The most I've ever felt is as a spectator, which is what I am. That is all. |

If I'm really hooked on a certain anime/manga I can't concentrate on anything else. Scribbling drawings on my tests, daydreaming in class, totally spacing out when people are talking to me... yeah I get it baad. |

saorilight said: I do get a lil to into an anime sometimes and just HATE when it ends >.< I feel you man. |
 |
| I really get in to the anime, maybe not as deep as some but I get into it, sometimes even though I know its fake but I feel something in my stomach when something goes wrong withen the anime or when a character is in danger. |
| I have this feeling a lot, almost with every anime, at least, if I like them, if they're boring I won't get that feeling... |
| There are a couple of anime that drew me in, when I enjoy them and they last at least twenty-four episodes. |
| A couple of times... |
 |
| How much you should expect a response and soon depends entirely on how active and populated a forum is. This is a fairly new forum, though active for how new it is. Anyway, Ah the magic of anime. I don't get that feeling with American animation.:/ |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I adapted alot of the facial expressions from toons and anime. some people can easily see how I feel because of it =P. for example whenever I'm serious I drop my head slightly forward to make my frown look bigger. XD or when I'm thinking of somthing and I finaly understand it. i'd tap my fist in my open palm. it just became a habit. I gues =P |
 |
| Someone is trolling over their thread a little too hard... and emotional attachment? I'll just keep to my posters and figures.... anything past that is pretty much buying anime character blow up dolls and vibro's ...ill pass |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Haibane Renmei just sucked me in, Rakka is such an amazing lead character, so easy to empathise and associate with.. I was also REALLY heavily into Death Note until a certain late series event (which I had spoilered for me but was still a real shock to watch...) |
 |
| You know what's funny, is that people buy anime all the time. And people buy sex toys all the time. So why not anime sex toys? I don't own any, in fact it's been years since I even bought figurines of any kind, but it just seems like an extension of hentai to me. Those blow up dolls are kind of meh. Too plasticy. Now those pillowcases or whatever, those are pretty nifty looking. I like hugging pillows, they're nice. I remember when I was younger, like back when I was thirteen, I would hug my pillow at night sideways and pretend it was someone I was romantically in love with. As for figures, you can't really do anything with them but to admire their 3D qualities wherever you place them in your room, which makes them almost feel a little more real for a moment when you look at them, if even only a little. Because I mean, who wants to cuddle plastic? But all the decent ones, that you'd actually want to put on display and enjoy, are very expensive. And the cheap ones are even expensive as well. For the money I really just rather have something that's more of a doll, like a dolfie. A really good representation of an anime character in doll form. Japan and Korea have been creating loads of these doll things lately and I see myself starting to wanting to become a dollfag. They don't look like the cruddy doll things I saw as a little kid, they look like anime characters. I've always wanted this little perfect doll form of Souseiseki for myself, like a dolfie but more accurate. And hold her and carry her around my house like a kid with a security blanket or teddy bear. It may be there cold and lifeless, but that's the closest I could ever get to a real anime character. And that show even sets it up perfect. I would be just like a person out of Rozen Madien, a cartaker for Souseiseki, waiting for her Rozen Mystica to return. And maybe when we're close to a doll some of our spirit is given and shared as well just by being close to them. That's what I was told in Ghost in the Shell. So in a way, Souseiseki wouldn't be dead, just waiting for her Rozen Mystica to be returned.;_; So ronery.;_; |

| Yes, it was Yu-gi-oh. I was always like ''Go win dammit!'' and like ''Play that fricking card! Yes!''. Oh and also One Piece, I actually feel like I'm going on the greatest Adventure of all time. |
 |
| i don't "merge" with them but i do relate my life a lot with some anime |

| well if you cant tell the difference between anime and reality your not well lol but yes i can connect some, i sometimes try and think the way a character would think and predict their words and try and get emotionally involved in the stories, i mean why not just because its animation doesnt mean you have to remain detached from it, i mean live action stuff is just actors not real things happening, it simulates emotions that are possible and wow why am i bothering saying all this, it doesnt matter at all XD |
