>"is she really like what I think she is like"
Yep, I've dealth with this shit for a long time. I used to daydream a lot about my waifus, just random characters I see on random arts seen online, etc. Once OCD kicked in, I couldn't do it. I had thoughts 'What if she actually X (insert_degenerate_mental_image)' or 'What if we would be together but she cheated on me?', endless variations of those thoughts. If it rings a bell, then I suggest you dont' repeat my mistake - dont' fight this shit with more thoughts. If it is this problem, then it is not about what you don't do, it's about what you do - checking, proving, trying to 'get rid' of those dirty, unpleasant thoughts, images, scenarios. It may sound like gibberish for you atm, but just be aware of this for now, it will help you at some point.

It makes sense, how do I stop falling into the same loops over and over? How did you manage to overcome it?
I want to trust her and just be happy with her, all I want is to be certian about her and not have these loops of worrying about shipping or what she is like etc

Anonymage 05/02/26 (Sat) 00:45:02 No.44263

>>44262
By recognizing the loop first and foremost. For me it is like this: I get triggered by an anxious thought, image, idea, whatever. It brings me severe discomfort, activates fight or flight mode - trying to find a 'good' thought, idea, image to 'combat' the bad one = brain learns to FEAR those 'bad' thoughts and gives you anxiety whenever they appear. You need to realize this mechanism of worrying. Be mindful, meditation may sound gay but it helps.
>I want to trust her and just be happy with her
You have to 'let go' of this goal for now, I'm afraid. It will lead to checking, 'combating' the thoughts. It hurts but the brain is a nasty tool of Demiurge.
Anyway, I realize it sounds like a bullshit, I've been there, but things shouldn't be like this wizard, waifu love shouldn't be based on fear, anxiety and pain.

Anonymage 05/02/26 (Sat) 00:49:59 No.44264

>>44263
>You need to realize this mechanism of worrying.
And tolerate your anxiety, tolerate the negative emotions, don't rush towards replacing them with positive feelings. Lets say you see your waifu in a shippign faggotry or whatever - your brain zaps you with anxiety - you want to replace it, to think a good thought, image where there is no 'threat' shown by the thought. And this is the crux of the problem. This mechanism of running away. The solution is to tolerate bad emotions.
It requires a lot of time and insight but better time will come. I used to be terrified of females in fiction, they triggered nastiest thoughts possible. Nastiest gook goonshit kind of nasty, even when I just wanted to imagine us being together and happy. Now I can image nice scenarios, even though I rarely do this because of practicing retention and avoiding temptations.

I see, well I will try to do so in the future. Right now it really boiled over, I was sick from the worrying and started checking fanart and other images which made it a 100 times worse, now Im completely lost and feel sick. I know its super retarded but Im just spiraling and spiraling. I saw some really disgusting shit, plus after getting the image of the shipping in my head I have had nightmares about it twice.
I dont know how to recover, for a long time I couldnt feel anything and now tried to open up more but it resulted in this clusterfuck.

Would this board be better if anime discussion wasn't allowed? I like anime, but this board's so slow that having any actual discussion outside of the anime review thread or the cute anime character threads, is basically pointless. The world of imageboards needs a place for niche otaku discussion, but alas, no site caters to such interest. What with the modern day youth on this site, there'd probably just be a bunch of Vtuber threads to take all the anime discussion's place. What does /jp/ - Japan/Anime, think?

In my experience, saturation of a particular conversation theme in any board doesn't mean that the board is doing poorly. It just means it lacks enough people. If you wish to have a conversation beyond anime, manga or light novels, we all would benefit from you making a thread on the subject. Also very cool image, not sure if that is a yokai but looks cool.

Anonymage 04/16/26 (Thu) 13:05:07 No.44246

My taste might come off as really generic, but after reading grim manga for years I have come to enjoy light hearted shonem like kagurabachi and dandadan.

I firmly enjoyed the purity culture in dandadan, with emphasis it puts on virginity. It made me happy, many series would shy away from placing that moral weight. Kagura bachi was a nice experience, it's a shame it will never reach popularity demon slayer did, despite actually being decently written.

I enjoy dandadan because it has yokai and Shinto faith integrated in it quite well. I am neutral on sci fi element, but I have loved yokai stories since my childhood. Truly enjoyable.

I feel the same. In essense it is not a true battle of mage anime, since the system is left vague and power scale is avoided at all cost. It has its charms with the whole rock paper scissor angle to it.

I don't like how soft the male characters are honestly. When the illusion of "dream like sequence" is gone after the initial chapters, the magic really fades away.

Pokemon Anonymage 07/23/24 (Tue) 03:55:15 No.42254 [Reply]

I haven't watched the Pokemon anime in a long time, is there anything truly worth going back to, or is it all just blind nostalgia? I'll occasionally read news about the series, like how Ash finally won the Pokemon league, and has at long last been written off the show. Honestly, I lost interest in the anime after the infamous XYZ meltdowns and subsequent Sun and Moon seethe. Nothing will ever top that.

Maybe this belongs more on /hob/ and if the mods agree I would hold no ill will for them for moving or deleting it but I recently got around to watching Serial Experiments Lain and wanted to find some other wizzards with good reccomendations for /dep/ anime. The ones of course given are succubi last tour and Lain. I would personally not count Watamote as it seems quite shallow and everything turns out fine in the end and whatnot. So what are some other anime, manga or light novels dealing with actual depression or schizophrenia and not in the mainstream boohoo am so sad way.

>I recommend Neia Under 7 if you want a more grounded but slightly upbeat anime.
I should. I've been meaning see more from Ueda and ABe's portfolios, but good art sort of intimidates me. It's hard to explain. I think part of it is knowing that once it's over that's it, and there's one less thing to look forward to.

>I also really love the suicide pact episode of Paranoia Agent/Shonen Bat.
It was a really good episode. There's an episode like it in Welcome to the NHK with similar themes too.
I still think about how nice the experience would be

>Perhaps my all time favorite anime would be Haibane Renmei. I rarely feel strong emotions but this one made me cry for days after watching it.
Haibane Renmei really is incredible. Reki in particular inspired me greatly for a long time and I still get that feeling when rewatching it. It's my second favorite only behind SEL, and I couldn't claim to place one above the other objectively. They're both masterpieces.

Hold on but what about anime and manga that aren't just depressing but also try to convey something important? I mean, lain isn't pure depression, it's also trying to relay some ideas to you. Granted, I may still have no frickin clue whatsoever what the hell it is that it's trying to tell you, but there's definitely a message in there.
So yeah, what about anime or manga that both fits the atmosphere and the symbolism?

Kids shows Anonymage 05/03/22 (Tue) 01:54:26 No.38895 [Reply]

I've found myself watching, and this thread is as much of a confession as much as anything, kids shows. It started off due to the threads we've had about Cardcaptor Sakura and Doremy, but then I realized after watching them that I was feeling…oddly good and optimistic about the world in general. It's weird, because on the one hand I hate watching this stuff because, well, it's so fucking stupid and vapid, but on the other hand I love watching it because it's so goddam relaxing and healing to the soul. I find myself questioning whether this entertainment is purposefully made this way, to emotionally manipulate individuals past a certain age into a state of depression.

Uhm, thanks for reading my blogpost? Otherwise, I guess share some younger-demographic anime you might be watching?

Oh, I have watched this show with my little niece оnce upon a time. I really liked it. Sweet and calm series.

However, my "path" to anime aimed at children's audiences began with Haha wo Tazunete Sanzen. Unlike Moomin, I watched the show myself as a child. I just remember seeing a cartoon in the style of a very old anime, where a boy in red clothes, living in a small house, left his dad to find his mom.
While I was searching MAL out of curiosity to see what children's or classic literature works had been adapted by Japanese, I stumbled upon this cartoon and remembered it. It was a pleasant surprise. I might watch this show again, but not anytime soon.
