Tatami Galaxy was the only anime to successfully make me feel bad about being a shut in.
>>281875185Tell me, OP.Why did this succeed where NHK and Evangelion failed?
>>281875217Ozu. Throughout the entire anime he is portrayed as being a sneaky villain from the perspective of the MC, always weaseling his way into every social circle on campus. At the end the MC realizes that the entire time Ozu was just making the most of his time at college by not limiting himself to one social group, but ingratiating himself with everyone. I think its effective because Ozu is not a normie, in Ozu we see what is possible when even a weirdo goes out of his way to break down social barriers.

>>281875185Go outside and look at people; you won't feel bad about staying inside anymore.
>>281877995I had the same realization like 30 mins ago and before I saw this thread. People outside in the "normal world" are insanely boring and crazy at the same time.
>>281875352I tried this in highschoolIt doesn't really work. Or well it kinda works, but then you're always like on the margin. You spread yourself too thin basically. Well its good enough I guess, you're never in the core sure, but like you said you get to do and experience more than if you stuck to one.
>>281875185So did you actually go outside after watching it then?Touring some of the sites from the show around Kyoto/Biwa from 2012 - 2015 was fun personally.

>>281880358>So did you actually go outside after watching it then?I didn't really change after watching it. I was already long out of school and just NEETing it up, so I didn't even have the opportunity to put it to practice. It took years to get my shit together and get a job/car etc, but by that point socializing is way different from carefree young school life.
