    If you watch enough anime, you WILL eventually fall in love with a character. This is why we have the meme of waifus/husbandos.

    It happens because anime portrays life and characters very unrealistically. Characters are less like real people and more like archetypes, meant to play a certain role or have a certain type of personality. They tend to be too perfect. It's easy to love someone who has no apparent flaws.

    My advice is to gradually stop watching anime altogether. It will make you depressed, especially if you're into shoujo (girly) anime. I've seen it happen to others, and even felt it myself. And I'm a dude. And watch out if someone tries to get you to watch 'Nana'. It's a doozy for this sort of thing.

      So you don't watch anime anymore at all? :O

      I really like shoujo mangas, but I have really high standards when it comes to reading them since the first shoujo manga I read was THAT good. So I start a lot and never finish them.

      As much anime as I use to watch and manga I use to read you'd think I would have run into this depressed wall others seem to hit, but I haven't.

        Not really, but it's important to note that I am an extremely depressed person and I don't really do anything anymore : /

        There are still a lot of good anime that I intend to watch someday.

        Well a little bit. I just feel like I've watched every good one. I'm more into er...nothing really. Just drifting from anime, though I still enjoy it. It's mainly the animu weeaboos and shit.

        Lol, I hit a depressed wall, but not because of anime. Because of school. Anime saved me back then.

          I feel you on feeling like you watched all the good ones. I'm sure there's probably more out there that I haven't seen, but I'm more of one to just stumble on a good show then look for it. Besides all the effort I use to but into looking for good anime to watch now goes towards good korean/japanese dramas to watch. :p
