/2/ - 日本 ~redux~

Shinji Ikari. It's spooky how much I relate to him. It's like I feel all his pain. I also act exactly like him and had a very weird out of body experience because of it once. Sometimes it feels like I'm watching someone act as me on the screen instead of watching him.

Mayuri from Steins;gate is another character. Not really who she is but how her relationship with Okabe is.

I don't really watch Japanese cartoons. Or read their comic books. Come to think of it, I don't do much of anything.

I did pick up Watamote precisely because of how relatable I usually find the main heroine, though. I figured she'd be a go-to for socially awkward anons, so let's get her out of the way early so people can move on to more obscure stuff.

I don't relate with Tomoko, just her situations. She's an entitled bitch who blames everyone else for her problems. Yeah she has social issues but she shouldn't be a cunt to anyone willing to help her. She thinks her best friend is a bitch for getting a boyfriend. Yet she talked to her the whole day like she always did. Fuck Tomoko.

(I've only see the anime though so I don't know if the manga is any different.)

>She's an entitled bitch who blames everyone else for her problems.
niggah you just described /n/

So, she's like most NEETs and autists?

Not quite at his level yet neither am I able to relate to some of his situations however his attitudes towards life and the way he responds to situations I can somehow relate to. He tries to help himself however locks himself into a vicious cycle of degradation.

well i related to a couple actually, and it was often strange to see those characters reflect myself, whereas in the usual TV shows there were never really characters that i could relate to, or see myself in.
I related to:
Shinji Ikari from Evangelion
Sato from Welcome to the NHK
Hikigaya from Oregairu
and a little with Lain from Serial Experiments Lain

>>977
Is it sad I look up to Sato?

>>978
in what way?

>>978
I don't think so. He may be somewhat pathetic, but he's someone who's brave enough to repeatedly put himself out there and try his best. He's the kind of person who never stops growing. I think that's something to look up to.

>>980
This. He really grows as a person from the beginning to the end of the show. One of my favorite MC's
