Was there ever a girl in an anime/manga that you loved so much-- a profound and deeply felt love that extended beyond basest sexuality into a restless attraction whereby the only way you could get a good night's sleep is to imagine oneself lying next to her? I am not simply referring to a girl that is cute or adorable, not that those aren't wonderful traits, but such things would be too superficial for the sublimity of emotion one would have locking eyes with her for the first time; a feeling that can only be likened to the chill one has when being stalked by an unknown predator or the shivering sensation of listening to a particularly engaging music piece. This loli would be no ordinary girl, her presence would engage all of your emotional faculties at once, muddling up the higher functions of your brain save one coherent train of thought-- that this girl, descended from heaven, borne from an unearthly place, was mine, mine, all mine; that my love for her would be matched in equal with her love for me and from this boundless cycle would we find unending happiness locked in each other arms like the radiant sun and vivid earth in their everlasting cosmic dance. This girl would be so beautiful and perfect that the mere thought of cuddling her would make you weep quiet, manly tears.

I have found this girl and her name is Konata. Every morning I wake up with a deep sigh knowing she is not asleep next to me, that my pitiful midnight delusions could not carry over to my morning reverie. This profound sadness carries over into the monotony of the day, whether it be sitting in lecture, eating lunch, socializing like a normal human being; regarding all the smiling faces envious knowing that they'll all have something I will never have, a love to call their own.

Nevertheless about love for an animooted character, save all that poetry for your own book or something.

I feel you. I've been like you since 2001.
You might think you're still a young school kid, still a teenager, and that you'll forget it some day.
I thought so as well. But I never forgot my love. ;_;

Aren't fictional characters great. None of the pesky flaws or free will of real people.

What this man said.

Seriously though... I did feel this way about a fictional character once, back when I was about 14. I'd post a pic but then everyone would tell me to gbt/co/.

I've certainly felt it much more keenly towards actual living people. I remember the last one I felt that way about quite vividly. Having to go to see her every day at meals and classes in college was incredibly painful for me. Me and my stupid geek-style fear of rejection. Sigh.

Of course, I've long gotten over her (part of that was realizing she was kind of a dumb bitch in the scheme of things). It also hasn't happened since. I think growing past the age where hormones run rampant helped with that.

Now then, as for Konata, I strangely find myself totally shipping for her with Kagami. I've never really felt that way about non-canon pairings before, but I somehow just can't help it with those two.

OP better not try and ruin that or I'll hunt you down.

When I was a young teenager I remember being badly in love with that akane-chick from the ranma series. Man, animes certainly know how to fuck with a childs brain. Just show akira to some 11 year old.

Yes, I feel this way about fictional anime characters because no real woman in their right mind would ever want to have anything to do with me.

Some people need to just realize that it's OK to be alone, and that the "relationships" that we have with fictional characters really aren't any less "false" than the non-existent idealizations of relationships that we try to maintain in real life. There is no such thing as "love" - our mating behavior is just a bunch of crap that we learned over hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution to ensure that our genes get passed on - so why bother? The only girl I love is Konota-chan, and she is the only girl that will ever love me.

Ahhh, well, "love" exists, but only in the sense of neurochemical processes producing the state of being in love. But you're right, knowing the reasons why humans act like humans, one quickly gets bored by this predictability of human behaviour and it's getting easier and easier to just disregard some of the bitter parts of life. Actually, that's still just repression of the bad emotions, a coping mechanism called Intellectualization.

I'm an avid supporter of Konami myself, but I've also felt a strong attachment to Kagami during the course of the show. And when I think about it, it really tears me the fuck apart. Well, at least to the point where I have to consciously correct my own breathing. And I have no intention of inserting myself in Konata's position, because I believe their beauty or charm or whatever you call it shines brightest when they're together.

These characters are as real as love is.
Both are entirely fake.
The idea of a person being head over heels in love forever is, simply put, wrong. Everyone thinks there's this perfect girl/boy for them somewhere, but there isn't. What you feel is momentary attraction, the novelty of which makes you immune to the flaws which you may not have even seen yet. Yes, we love Konata, but we also only see a very small fraction of her life and cannot say what it would be like to actually live with her, besides other personal tastes we don't see and the fact her looks are based on a fantasy medium.

Friendship. Loyalty. Trust. History. These qualities exist in people. But love does not. People, despite what you hear on Oprah or some crap like that, ever actually fall in love.

No love huh? Love is as real as you make it. As real as the notions of trust, loyalty, friendship, even family falls to this. How many of been hurt in life and said that any one of those are just an illusion? They are all words to which we apply meaning, all concepts defined falsely because they define something that defies such definition. These are all different to everyone but to call them fake is absurd. To say such things only says you have never found it, those of us that have know you the fool.

Love isn't history or trust, it isn't friendship or loyalty. Love is a state of constant awe at the beauty of a person (those of you thinking of physical beauty go check that your power works with a fork and a lightsocket please) People can love forever and not be with that person too; most relationships don't last cause people change but that doesn't mean love didn't exist. We leave a part of ourselves wherever we go, and the biggest impressions are the ones where love has grown. In those impressions, those people, places, and even anime characters that we can never ever forget, that is where you find the proof of love.

I had a massive thing for Ruki Makino from Digimon Tamers (and still lingers with me), I have no idea why really, I just ended up infatuated with her somehow. In the end I tried offing myself on Alcohol and Sleeping Pills (Yeah, late Teen Idiocy) on the premise of trying to meet her (obviously I failed).

Looking back though, it was also an excuse to escape Life, as I wasn't "happy", not just a love thing, but it played a part. The night I attempted the said stupidity, I imagined her by my side, speaking supportive words to me, and she was successful in her encouragement.

What can be said, Anime makes you do crazy things... if you mind is unstable, heh.

Emotions combined with reasoning and understanding make them even stronger.

To put it another way, would you prefer blind love for someone you hardly know, or the thought about someone you do know and know exactly why you love them?

Some great reading material in this thread ^_^

I get like this too. For the longest time I've always had a crush on Ami from Sailor Moon, and I still do. Over the years, I have developed crushes on others as well, more recently Kotomi from Clannad. She's just so socially inept yet incredibly smart, and I have a penchant for nerd girls.

Quoted from sexy losers:

Tomoe Toyosaka: Don't you miss the love and warmth only a living person can provide?

Shiunji Watanabe: Yeah. Like I really miss the uncertainty, the rejection, the bullshit, the cheating, the lying, the games, the weird fucking mating ritual dance, the expectations, the arguments, the mood swings, the temper tantrums, the breakups and that awful piece of shit feeling only another human being can make you feel. No thank you.

And Tomoe subsequently becomes a necrophiliac in the next scene.

There have been a few times where I've felt similar.

Bagi. Heck, she was the coolest anthropomorphic cat, who was also devoted to Ryo for the affection he showed her when she was a child.

Yuzuyu from Aishiteru ze Baby. Adorable and could easily fit in as a real child. Her mom abandoned her, so she looks up to Kippei onii-chan for comfort and security. Very touching.

These feelings lasted for a few months until eventually fading away. But I remember vividly wishing they existed in some way. So, I share in your pain ;_;
