Dont look me with those pitful eyes!
Its not that im looking for a relashionship or whatever but when i try to watch a romance, not even a sad one, i get a little melancólico, I CANT STOP.

But there are times where i dont fell this way like when i watched Tsukaima or Ore no imouto or Toradora!

Please dont Tell me its just me...

No no no. I don't feel lonely, I feel pretty good about myself.

Think of it like this, at least you don't have to put up with some tsundade or something on a daily basis.

Nah man, romance is one of my preferred genres and I feel little else but joy when watching them.

Maybe because I'm a puss who gets all excited over sweet stuff like that instead of watching them to compensate for my own lack of relationship. Not trying to be sound insulting, but I don't really see any reason to feel lonesome when watching a romance anime unless you're doing it to compensate like that.

Nah, I'm happily single. Why is it that some people think they need to be in a relationship to be fulfilled is what I'd be asking.

I surprised that so many people aren't feeling that way...whenever I watch romance I feel lonely bc I don't have someone special like that. Heck I even feel lonely just watching other genres bc the mc will have so many friends

No, because I don't like the romance genre. Even though I've watched a few romantic anime in the past, I don't remember feeling lonely about it though.

No because the way love stories are depicted is often way too dramatic or well, romanticized!
Watching romance just makes me want to bathe in the cuteness and draw cute characters (or feel with them hehe).
I'm such a cheesy person sometimes I feel ashamed. :B

If you're single and you view a romance anime where you don't feel lonely, that's probably for a few reasons. My reasoning is that the romance sucked. I don't feel lonely if the romance I'm watching is god awful with no chemistry in it. Nobody wants that. A good romance doesn't make me feel lonely, but more or less makes me feel like I need to go out and talk to females more.
Anime sucks.

Once in a while. If it becomes a real problem where you get depressed or something then I would just switch to a show that doesn't have a romance, like a pure comedy.

Not really, I watch that stuff for entertainment and to take a rest from all action-heavy stuff. I finish them, I got my entertainment. It was either good or bad, it was either boring or entertaining but that's it. Let's move on lol
Edit - But since you mentioned this thing... I'm pretty sure I might feel lonely the next time I watch something like that... Maybe.

Yes. they remind me that someday I will have to get a life, although I still prefer loneliness to unrewarding relationships.

New technologies are so good, you can order a flashlight with a custom made vagina of your waifu, and stick it inside a bodypillow with a print out of your waifu.

I am not sure..

I am watching for the "emotion" in the anime., happy, sad, mad, confused, etc2 in the story. Probably I am lonely.. xD

ps: I am doing good in real life, but it does not feel "beautiful" as romance/slice of life anime/manga.

You see, black magic is a fantasy. Unlike a custom made vagina and a bodypillow.

I LOVE the romance genre, it's my favorite genre. No, I do not feel lonely when I watch it. If anything, it really just hypes up relationships for me lol. I always get so into and it makes me happy.

No not really the only thing that comes across my mind when I'm watching any kind romance is why can't I be in the female protagonist shoes. I want to fall in love with someone as cute and protective as the one the female is dating.

Now that I think about it I do feel lonely sometimes <_<

Yeah.. Lonely, but honestly more jealous.
When i see a happy couple in a romance anime, i just wished i had the same thing. Or someone special in general.

When I was 13 I used to envy anime characters on their friendships xD I thought true friends like those in anime do not exist anymore xD I was wrong xD
And no, even when I was single I did not feel lonely, just envied on friendships xD

You probably feel sad because you have never been in a relationship and when you see a romance story you feel that you are missing out on something. Well, in real world being in a relationship has it cons too.

If you feel lonely when you watch romance anime, i think that you subconsciously may want the same relationship as them. I don't know :>

I'm watching nana right now. It doesn't make me lonely but it can reactive old memories from past experiences in my life. It gives me memories of either things I could have done to make a situation better. It also makes me reminice on old relationships and sometimes have good feels or miss certain things. I don't really think I feel lonely though lol. I'm normally just thinking about the characters not about my life. Making connections with the show comes after I'm done. Maybe I just watched 3 episodes and now about to go to bed. I'll think about my own life compared to it in that situation. Oh yeah this only happens with really really good romances not shitty shows. Nana is pretty good so far for me
Brace yourself.

Soon as LotGH 2017 comes out. The anime community is going to become so cancerous you will need to take cover and hide.

No, but if the main character's life is similar to mine and he/she has better romantic life than I do.. Then yup

Anyway who thinks about their life when watching anime? I watch anime to forget all of that bullcrap in my life xD
