How on earth are people coming up with these suggestions, anyway? I mean, why would you look at Fruits Basket, Full Moon O Sagashite, and Prétear and think, oh, I bet this girl will like Tenkai Knights?

Um... Did you pay any attention to the animes that I said make me feel better? They're beautiful, not epic. Tenkai Knights doesn't sound like something that would be effective, and I hate Fairy Tail. That might work, and it is on Hulu... I'll try it once I'm done with Prétear. Sounds like being funny is the whole point of that anime, which isn't really what I'm looking for... I know the three animes that I said help me are all comedies, but there's a lot more to them than that. I don't like Naruto. Maybe I should just do my own research, because it doesn't seem like anyone understands what I'm looking for.

When I was 14 and my depression was at its worst, there were two animes I watched that made me feel better: Fruits Basket, and Full Moon O Sagashite. Now things are getting pretty bad again. I just watched Fruits Basket and Full Moon O Sagashite isn't on Hulu anymore (nor is it on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Crunchyroll), so I'm watching Prétear, which is having the same effect. But it only has 13 episodes. Based on the animes that I know make me feel better, does anyone have any recommendations for animes that may also make me feel better? Don't just tell me to get help or try to explain how to change negative thoughts or something. This is called a COPING METHOD. Mental health professionals say to use them.

That's not how it works... Not being able to win the game is a rule that everyone agrees on...

No... That's not right. http://losethegame.com

I don't think anyone knows for sure. Here's the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game) That article doesn't say anything about the pope's hat, but other sources state that the game ends if somebody steals or knocks off the pope's hat. Losing the game actually really annoys a lot of people. Some people even insisted that they weren't playing. But the game is over now.

You don't know about the game? Okay, there was something called the game. Every time you thought about the game, you lost. You couldn't win the game. You could only lose. And you had to announce your loss. Consent wasn't required to play. But there were two ways for the game to end: Either the British prime minister had to announce on public television that "the game was up," or somebody had to steal the pope's hat. And a little girl stole the pope's hat, so it's over now. Actually, it's been over since March.
