Mormegil said: I get what you mean. Only once, after finishing the first season of Spice and Wolf. I simply don't understand why I can't have a flirtatious wolf girl like Holo in my life. Fuck you, reality. FUCK YOU. Yes my thinking exactly!! I really see what you mean, I get into the story and I get emotionally attached to the characters, but I really don't get depressed unless I see something like 5/Cm/second, Angel Beats, or She the Perfect Weapon. The worst one was the latter, I felt lifeless for like three days after seeing the ending. |
| I got really depressed after watching Zettai Shougeki: Platonic Heart. |

| Sure, I think that if it is a good anime it should be able to make you feel for the characters |

| did i post here? lol. i've been depressed after a few animes. mainly b/c my interaction with that world is over. The world of an anime can be a powerful place, and you just get sucked in. more often i just cry. a lot to be honest. sad events in good anime send me running for tissues |
| Anime normally helps me with feelings of sadness. I don't think it's ever depressed me but there have been sad scenes before that have made me relate and feel sad. Not really enough to depress me though. Oh! Another close one would be like when the story goes into a direction I don't like, I get disappointed and sad then but I can get over it. |

| I got depressed watching the 24th episode of Naruto Shippuden. Naruto, what has Pierrot done to you? ;_; |
 |
| Bokurano and Chrono Crusade.. I liked both of them but after I knew the ending of Chrono Crusade, I'm not watching any anime for few months... |
yjrHanma209x said: i disagree, as long as you can maintain a good social life your fine.your a little too into anime there swordparty, anyway no i don't, i hardly watch anime, just shippuuden sometimes, if people sit in their room and watch anime for hours on end, even if they enjoy it they will get depressed, cause their immersing themselves in a awesome/ perfect world that doesn't exist, and because of how much they watch it they will eventually start comparing it to the outside world, resulting in nothing but disappointment since anime life can be made to be perfect, and where real life definitely is not. |

| Not really, i usually get mad though. |
| tsuiokuhen and honey and clover II |
| In a 'what am I doing with my life' way, sure. |
 |
| Angel Beats and Clannad. . . after watching this i feel that its the end of my world |
| In that order: Code Geass, made me feel so sad, as the characters were really well done/played etc. Mirai Nikki, for the same reasons, but the seiyus were so good it made the characters even more real to me... Steins;Gate, more because of the awesome story and its pacing (past episode 7) that draws you into it =D Not really sad or depressed here, but the emotions have been strong. Angel Beats!, very fun moments, some pretty sad too. But after all the above, I was kinda prepared, and it didn't hurt as much as I thought. Will see when I watch Clannad how it goes =) |

| I've been getting depressing series more often as of late. Recently the anime I've stumbled upon have been rather sad. Even the most recent one, Uta Kata, which had a happy banner and started out sunny, found a way to turn morbid. I'm blaming false marketing! I think I'm due a nice and carefree series now :D |
| depressed because anime was sad or depressing. seisouhen tsuiokuhen kimi ga nozomu eien honey and clover II clannad AS |
greenmush said: Pretty much all animes i watch Agreed. This probably because we spent too much time with them making an attachment between the viewer and those anime. |
| Of course, it cannot be too good of an anime if it doesn't effect you emotionally. Some animes that made me depressed are: Claymore. Naruto. One Piece. But by far Guilty Crown, I don't know why but when Hare died that was by far the saddest I have ever been watching an anime. |
 |
| After watching those kind of idealistic shows, it more or less motivates me to make my life more like theirs. This can be good, and bad. Bad in that I can become unrealistic, good in that I might actually do something. |

| I never felt depressed while watching anime, but sadness is inevitable. |
| I got depressed during Welcome to the NHK. But that was because I could identify with most of the characters, because of that, I was absorbed into the show. |

HotdogDragon said: I got depressed watching Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. Madoka took 11 episodes to finally decide to become a magical girl, she also failed in the end, Mahou Shoujo's just die now, her friends will still die. Sayaka's future sucked in every time line. Madoka wished to create a new universe... Couldn't one of these stupid girls have just wished for Kyuubey to have all the ENERGY he needed. Why he needed all that energy in the first place when he can grant ridiculous wishes like this still remains a mystery to me... I guess I agree with people saying this isnt your ordinary magical girl anime. Magical Girl Anime : Girl doesn't die and achieves something Madoka Magica : They die having achieved nothing really. Cheers for spoiling... Isnt depression a bit of a strong term for this topic? i think depression is longer term than "a few hours after watching something", maybe just sadness would be a better term for this? :P nor that anyone cares it gets the point across either way >.< |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Depressed? No. I think there's a stark difference between depression and sadness. Many anime's have made me really sad feeling, but mostly it's because the anime does such a good job of attaching you to someone then having something tragic happen, or when a characters back story is shown and it completely changes how you feel about this character, simply because you didn't know what had happened to them to make them the way they are. Such as Lucy/Nyu in Elfen Lied, or Joseph (the black/blue amalgam) in Blassreiter. |

Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: I hate Guilty Crown but, damn it! I loved Hare. The only good thing about that show. Hare was the only character that brought forth a emotion that wasn't hate. I loved it! But I have to agree with your point about how Hare was the only character that brought fourth positive emotions. |

| I feel happy watching anime, most of the time. It's an escapism. Sure, a sad scene in the anime may put me down, but that's the same with anything. But I do also have the tendency to compare the protagonist's life with my own, for some reason, and start thinking about that, and that can make me feel happy or sad sometimes, as weird as that sounds... |

| Funny how a lot of people have mentioned Welcome to the NHK. I was struggling with small things in my life and I didn't realize that I was clinically depressed until after watching shows like Welcome to the NHK and Phantom: Requiem of the Phantom. Those shows triggered certain feelings and showed me what parts of my life I wasn't happy with and where a quick awakening of sorts. Funny thing is those anime are some of the most powerful for me. Without them I wouldn't be as self aware. Animes has never depressed me it was me who was depressed all along and it was powerful anime shows that made me aware of that. I have leaned to appritiate the many things I do have in spite of such. Life is a learning experience ^-^ |

| Sometimes I get a little sad when I watch diferent anime's but that's because I tend to get to into the story while watching it. Because some show's really are made get to your feelings. But to me it's only while I'm watching the show you cand mix real life with virtual...But I watch anime because i like them and make me laugh , happy and excited. |
| While I'm watching one no, but once I finish an anime I do, especially when there's no second season. worst feeling in the world. Until I find another good anime, then it just repeats. |
| i was quite depressed watching 3 episode of SAO, and was really depressed at the end of Code Geass |
| Sad maybe, definitely not depressed. But I'm not that tempted by the slice of life depiction of high school. |
| Not really , but Clannad After Story really got me sad as fawk |
 |
| Well, "Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai" had many sad scenes, especially the end, but it only slightly touched me, nothing much. Code Geass R2 ending definitely touched me more. But the first time I saw Steins;Gate episode 23 (or was it 24?), when |
