| No it isn't. The Japanese are great at writing emotional stories. |

| Sad events in anime can hurt But sad events in real life always hurt so much more You never experienced the death of a family member or a friend I guess |
 |
| Maybe its because you stopped giving a fuck in the real world. It happens a lot. The real world is just too toxic to give a damn but hey there are anime that can make you feel all kinds of emotions. |

Maybe you just don't like those series but they are pretty good. But that doesn't matter because you didn't really prove him wrong. You can feel strong emotion even from anime that don't have drama in their center, such as One Piece or Beck (personal picks). |

I'm a big fan of Your Lie in April and Toradora and found both incredibly emotional. I didn't find Angel Beats that emotional though despite liking it. All 3 are melodramatic I'll give you that. (I find it odd that we have 31.1% affinity. I really don't understand how it works) |

| Probably because your life is boring. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Idk about irl, but anime sure has a easier time evoking emotions from me than live action. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |

Aslt said: Please, fix your writing. It was really hard to understand anything from that blob of text. As for the topic, you can't compare emotions that you're witnessing when you're watching any type of medium be it a movie, tv show, anime or even comics, to the emotions that you would witness in a real world, in real situations with real people. It may seem obvious, but that's how it is. I'm writing this as an answer for the title alone, as in that unreadable description, you've stated that your emotions after an anime were the same as in a real-life scenario, and not sadder. So that's that. yes,finally.i was waiting a reply like you.my mistake and i am sorry.i know that,only my title that really understandable for all people,but i want to tell you guys about it.its my first making a discussion,at first i know the risk of making this,but i can't hold it anymore I AM SORRY XD |

You need to nut upUhmmmmm. >"Comes off as melodramatic" >Lists actual melodrama. The fuck do you expect. Can't you even list actual good examples. I mean Graves and Hotarubi are sad non-melodramatic anime. And effing wistful Shinkai. That's a matter of degree. Japan seems to think its sad, I for one agree with that. Yeah, saying listing mainstream does not change the fact that "melodrama is melodramatic". I mean you could've said over the top or overdrawn, but no, you had to do the duh thing. |
| Sad and emotional events in fictional world/medium or fantasy can make you cry like a baby. It's not strange at all. I cry all the time over emotional moments in anime. Even fanfictions. But still, nothing compared to emotional events in real life of course. In fact, not only emotional moments, things like gory images, I don't mind in anime, and to some extent, in movies, but in real life? I'm probably gonna vomit. |

Brb said: Yet many people don't know it's melodrama. Hell even melodrama and overdrawn have similar meanings since they both described exaggerating something so the point isn't lost and more so, you just reinforced it so a better question would be...why are you bitching? Yeah, saying listing mainstream does not change the fact that "melodrama is melodramatic". I mean you could've said over the top or overdrawn, but no, you had to do the duh thing. |

| I cry out of empathy when I cry for an anime. If something happens to me personally I'm not empathic, I'm just numb, shocked, depressed, suicidal maybe but my body doesn't keep up, it doesnÄt make me cry. Maybe I just care less about myself than about random strangers and fictional characters? I can't say. In any case I don't get that sweet catharsis that empathy provides irl, I can't remember when the last time I cried irl even was. As a kid I was bullied for crying a few times and it just kinda stopped since then, for years I didn't cry at all until I 'learned' to cry again with anime. And I do cry quite frequently for anime, or at least get teary-eyed. Crying is a good thing, it's rewarding, it makes me feel better afterwards, it's pure catharsis. It would be too easy if it came natural in real life, I guess. Alternatively just think about this: Emotions that are invoked gain their strength by how much you can personally relate to them. They remind you of instances where you felt those same emotions. So it's not weird that if you experienced the loss of a family member, someone in the same situation would resonate strongly with you, linking the emotions you see on screen with your own emotions from the past and creating emotions that are just as strong, if not stronger. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I don't relate with you so yes, I do find it rather strange. I don't empathize with anime characters nor with characters of any type of show to the point that I'd find their experiences sadder than real life. Especially when those experiences are overblown like it's usual in anime as it makes me lose any belief of those emotions being real. |

| No because even if it is fictive, it can be based on real life stuff all the same and it's made on purpose so that you can relate. |
| i mean i highly doubt anyone will cry for chihaya if something like that happen irl /shrug |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| It could happen,but it depends on the anime series and of course yourself too So it isn't strange |
 Life is empty without anime |
| Yup, it is. The reason Clannad, YLIA and such are rated so highly is because people seem to fall apart emotionally the moment some fictional character dies, and they give it 10 "cuz the feels". Nut up. |
