Hello the other me

[@gurth-quake1627]

I just started demon lord, retry because it looked interesting, and had no background info other than the little girl with blond hair reminded me of rem and ram. When I started, everything seemed too similar to overlord that I knew it was gonna be an isekai, coincidentally my favorite genre of anime. Edit: i just finnished episode 1, and it was pretty much just a knock off of overlord, over all worse in my opinion, but not by that much. The only other complaint is that it goes through information too fast, and therefore has you less attached to the story, ik it may be because they don't have enough money to fit all the story, but i would rather wait for them to earn more money to make a season 2 than to have less detail in the story.

This is where you need to watch an anime called "Relife". Understand your mistakes and realise its not too late to get a girl who loves anime just as much as you and that's when she introduces you to Anime Movies and you start to find deep appreciation for Studio Gibli and Makoto Shinkai and your cycle resets and slip back into the not giving a fuck and just enjoying animes like new 86, AOT, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, platinum end, Remake our life, komisan can't communicate, and find even more appreciation for older ecchi titles like testament of sister new devil, chivalry of a failed knight, Sekerei, and plastic memories... after all is said and done you will realise that light novels are better than sliced bread and you can continue where your epic anime that never got a second season that sent you into depression in the first place left off allowing your mind to finally be at peace. This is the most important phase as because you are reading more now and still love women you will more than likely come across a book called "The Game" by Neil Straus and you start to value going out and meeting friends and picking up women over watching anime and your new life will begin :D

I remember clearly telling my brother that my anime phase "was only going to last 2 weeks like all my other interest" only to dive so deeply into the rabbit hole that my entire personality was flipped upside down. Yes you heard me right, anime actually changed the very basics of my personality. Although corona may have contributed to this, after watching around 15 animes i started thinking a lot more, so much so that i went from and extroverted person to a introverted person. I also starting being more self aware after watching classroom of the elite, and eventually fuck i give up i dont wanna type anymore Anime fucked me up, but i love it.

For newer anime fans 1. Start watching 12 -28 episodes anime especially shonen 2.Gradually increse it to 100 and then more but avoid one piece 3. Dive away from shonen ro isekai and romance (and hentai) 4. Check out other genres 5. Comes back to shone because of a random KZbin video and open up to one piece 5. Full awakening 6.

Learn Japanese and listen to the episodes it taped to your head while wearing glasses so you can barely see the reflection of the show. Skip through episodes, and learn to sleep at work so you can pull more all nighters. You can also research every episode, watch short clips from each one, and claim to have watched it.

You can break the cycle by becoming a three-dimensional person, a human with desires and feelings, with goals and reasoning skills. It's basically a shortcut through True Acceptance. But to do so, a big sacrifice has to be made. No longer will you be a flat 2d cutout of a person, an archetype. Being Otaku will still be part of you, but it won't be all encompassing. Maybe 10% of who you are will be Otaku, and the rest will be 9 other things; which together make you who you are - as a 3d person. And once you reach True Acceptance this way, there is no way back.
