Anime Inter-Board Friendship Ring: /kind/ /am/ /w/ /spiral/ /desu/ /tomoko/ /monster/

My psychologist recommended that I watch anime to relax but I don't seem to get anything from it. I've tried watching a lot of different things but apparently I'm soulless.

I like to immerse myself in things so I can forget everything but finding something interesting enough that my mind doesn't wander is difficult. It seems like manga are more suited for keeping my attention for the long term, especially with all of the episodic stuff I see here.

So what are some series/movies that you've found yourself really lost in?

 No.23291

I've got nothin' OP

Go watch something with ass n' titties or the most autistic battleshit you can find.

Or watch Big O. I got lost during the 2nd season of that.


 No.23292

I hate myself too much to let myself have sexual drive. I'll try looking for battleshit.

Already watched Big O.

Just play video games, you h*cking nerd.

Video games don't last very long and new ones are expensive. I've emulated pretty much everything I wanted to play.

I bought monster hunter 3 used and I'm already at 3 star quests a couple days in. Unless there's a lot more to the game I can't see it lasting very long.

I tried going to game stream sites but they're dumb. One site just fell apart and the other was full of people that don't even understand why free to play is shit. They thought just because you can play to get an advantage by playing just as well as premium content the game mechanics don't suffer.

Your psychologist sounds unorthodox at best, retarded at worst. And they probably have shit taste anyway

>I like to immerse myself in things so I can forget everything but finding something interesting enough that my mind doesn't wander is difficult. It seems like manga are more suited for keeping my attention for the long term, especially with all of the episodic stuff I see here.

Look mang, I like jap toons and comics, I do. I've had times where I was in a difficult spot, and mango and toons did provide some relief. But going out for some walk or exercise, would probably be better. You don't want to get lost for too long in escapism.

If you really still want some recommendations. I found reading Yotsuba to be pretty comfy. Good luck amigo.

I tried biking but I usually have 3-4 close calls every 30 minutes. 2 days ago I wrecked the bike and went face first into concrete. There's "Share the road" signs all over the damn place and bike lanes but cars constantly swerve into the lane and half the time they try to hit me. If I make it to a bike path there's assholes that bike side-by-side and take up the whole path. I've tried walking but half the time people don't yield to pedestrians and run red lights so it's hard to get to the running track or a path.

I'm sore all over and need to rest before I get run over by a car again.

Meant to mention that it's mostly a problem when they're coming at me and won't stop.

Bike lanes on the road with cars is an absolute shitfest. I'm saying that as both a driver and cyclist. Well sort of former cyclist, my bike is long trashed due to shitty build quality and punctured tires. Haven't had the funds to get a proper bike replacement so I'm hoofin it for exercise.

There's a lot of fucktards who can't or wont obey the rules of the road in my area as well, so I basically get my walk ons late night or very early morning. Good thing is there are far less idiots to encounter during those hours. Bad thing is there are still idiots to encounter, and possibly unsavory types. "Ey yo man, you got a dollar or a light or 5 dollars for my very sick mother that ran out of gas?"

But in general once I get to a dedicated jogging trail that's mostly trees and industrial area, the trees and the area of potential employments tend to repel most troublemakers.

What things have you tried watching?

Personally I'd recommend:

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Nichijou

Lucky Star

Steins Gate

Spirited Away (movie)

Try a few episodes from each of those and let us know if you enjoy any of them.

Alternatively, have a browse through http://animu-mango.wikia.com/wiki/Anime_Recommendations and see if anything catches your eye.


 No.23310

>>23308

is madoka safe to watch with family or is there sexual themes?


 No.23311

>>23310

I watched it with my family. If I remember rightly the most lewd parts are partial nudity during the OP of each episode and during the final scenes of the last episode.

I doubt it would be a problem unless they were very conservative, but if you want to be safe just watch the OP first to check.

>>23308

>What things have you tried watching?

Doujin Work, Soul Eater, Durarara, some of the stuff I see in the threads around here.

I was just checking anime of manga that I've read and what I see here. A lot of it seems hyperactive or annoying in some way but it might be because I'm comparing it to manga. I'm half wondering if it's because the pacing is rushed to fit into an episode format.

I'll try the things listed in the thread and see what's interesting. I haven't watched a lot of the things in that wiki yet so that's pretty handy.


 No.23318

I really doubt anime would help you relax, but it sounds like you need to take the moe pill.

Watch -

-Non Non Biyori

-K-On!

-Nichijou

-fucking everything by kyoani except for chuunibyou and knk

-Hidamari Sketch

-Yuyushiki

-Bakemonogatari (not moe but the visuals may help you relax)


 No.23326

Go outside and take a walk, you fucking fat neet loser!

Don't watch moeshit, it is not comfy.

Watch something like Mushishi.

Also this thread is full of shit, no psychologist would recommend you to watch anime unless he wants to leech your money for the rest of your life.

Anime is garbage for cucks.

Play VNs OP, they should immerse you. Start with this list. They're also long and you can pirate them all.

It's against the rules to lie about an anime pro. Reported.


 No.23391

>>23387

Any anime pro will be able to easily spot an amateur for himself. The alert is unnecessary. Furthermore, any anime pro is expected to foster the serious personal growth and development of individuals with whom he has discussed anime topics. Neither your original statement nor your elaboration have achieved this goal. Please focus further posting efforts on helping OP with the stated topic of his thread, or else bumping other more interesting threads with quality content.

Polite sage, as expected from any epic oldfag anime pro.

Visualise while watching it, idiot.

Watch some scene, imagine that scene playing "in 3d", imagine the details, not necessarily the visual ones either, think of the smells, far off sounds, how it feels to be right there in that moment.

Yeah, it's gay, yes your brain will be telling you its gay and telling you to stop it, but being sensitive is the first step to becoming cute is the first step to becoming a cute little girl is the first step to achieving nirvana which is happiness.

start simple, go to >>>/scenic/ and pick some pic you like and try it.
