[FONT=Arial]Well, first of all, your post quality needs some work. Some people here might be willing to make fun of you, not only because of your little crush but also because of the way you wrote it. I'm not one of those, though, so don't worry...just try to be more legible in the future, okay? =)

Anyway, I kind of know how you feel about this. I really liked a character on Degrassi, Rick, even though it was just a TV show (but at least he was played by a real person and not drawn on paper). You probably don't *love* Kyo, really, but maybe you just really like his character and personality. He's probably more of a favorite character than obsessive crush. You just need to tell yourself that it's a drawing that isn't alive, and it won't ever be able to like you back. Maybe you should lay off the anime for a while, too.[/FONT]

[color=33333][font=trebuchet ms]I've never had quite that experience with an anime character, but I don't think I could count the number of times I've "fallen in love" with a character from a book. It's pretty maddening how The Perfect Guy seems so common in fiction, and so unbelievably rare in real life. [/font][/color]

[color=#333333]Sometimes the perfect guys are often the ones you would least expect. They are definately out there, and before she broke up with me, my girlfriend believed she had found one.

Although I have not "fallen in love" with an anime/manga/book character, I [i]have[/i] become quite attached to some. And I [i]have[/i] dreamt that they really existed. But hasn't everyone?

About your little love fiasco... I don't think it's something to worry about, hun. I really don't believe you actually [i]love[/i] this character, but he is just your favourite character (as Amelia already said). And it isn't anything to be ashamed of. You're just a fangirl.[/COLOR]

[TheShinje]

[color=crimson] Write a fanfiction that pairs you and this anime character.

That way you can have a sort-of "relationship." It's a win/win situation ;)[/color]

[Ryo the Tactician]

I've never had quite that situation, but fairly analagous. Sometimes there are stories I find so excellent and immersive I just wish they wouldn't end, and I wish I could be part of them. And that I could meet with the Protagonists and all, 'tis pretty sad.

But as that Seed song goes "Life Goes On". You get over it, eventually. Live your real life and eventually the tie begins to fade and you just get over it. I would have to definetly say to lay off anime and try to connect more with people in/ just the real world. It sucks, but this situation is temporary.

[COLOR=#7B075B]Nope, you're not insane. There's a point in every fangirl's life when she finds herself deeply infatuated with a fictional character (henceforth known as "The One") and may spend countless hours dreaming different "what if he (or she) was real" scenarios starring The One and, of course, the fangirl herself. I should know; I've gone through the same phase. How did I get over it?

I kept myself busy, iow, temporarily stopped watching anime. Yep, it's pretty much like [i]that[/i] period after a break-up when you'd work yourself to death just to keep The One from traipsing around the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is your mind. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself thinking "How quaint of me to fall for such a character. There are legions of men out there with more colorful lives!"

Yep, yep. I got over it, so will you.[/COLOR]

Anyway, I've fallen desperately in love with Bulma from DragonBall Z. At one time I would draft nude sketches of her and sleep with the drawings by my side. Now, since I've matured, I simply intend to find a woman with blue hair to satisfy my lust.

[color=DarkGreen][font=Trebuchet MS]This thread kind of reminds me of [thread=44751][u][b]My gf loves Bakura more than me!?!?![/b][/u][/thread]

Basically, the long and short of it is, you [b]aren't [/b]in love with Kyo. Simple as that. Anime, like all fiction, is escapism, and all you've done is escaped from reality a little too much. You're projecting (if you want to get Freudian with it) the desire for intimate company that we all have, onto a fictional character, as a way of avoiding placing those feelings on a real world person.

Take a reality check and you'll realise that you don't actually have a problem. And if that doesn't work, I suppose you'll grow out of it.

Hmm... Maybe instead of worrying about how odd this is, you should instead be worying about how to kill the boar and properly dispose of the body???

[Sayuri-sama]

well dude all i can tell ya is i once had the same problem you do now and all you can do is get over it. sorry if i sound harsh... :animedepr

[ilovekyonkichi]

:animesigh hmm . . .thanks 4 all the replys people. it was all very good advice, and i think that i'm starting to get over it . . . . . .well, not really, but i [I]am[/I] starting to realize that i can never have my beloved kyo :animesigh i'd better stop, i'm begining to sound like kagura. keep replying! :p

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

What can be said has already been said, infatuation with a fictional character isn't something I'd describe as a healthy activity. The character is not real, no matter how much you want to be with that character you never can, unless of course you have access to a suitably pre-programmed holodeck but such is not likely. My advice is that you try to accept that it will never happen and instead focus your attention on someone real who you actually might be able to start a relationship with, after a time you?ll just laugh and wonder how you could have been silly enough to be attracted to an anime character. [/SIZE]

[Kenshin DX]

I think being in love with a fictional chacter is a little much. I mean I love Ban Mido but im not in love with him. You probaly think your in love but your probaly just really obsessed.

[ilovekyonkichi]

i'm getting depressed [COLOR=DarkOrange]:animedepr [/COLOR] by my own post . . . I really think i [I]am[/I] going insane. at least i get to go to the science museum to day:excited: i love the science museum!!!! it will be good to take my mind off of stressful things like[COLOR=Indigo] [B]Latin Homework[/B] [/COLOR]. keep replying! :catgirl:(i hope i'm not being to demanding :animeswea )

[Her Black Wings]

Well honestly it sounds like your average teenage idolism. I'm in love with tom felton, james marsters, hell.. any bleach blonde brits (even anime). Its nothing to really worry about, its something you grow out of. Such as my crush on the white ranger.

i dont know about getting over a character...cuz they dont exsist butwhat u see in some fictional character can probably help to guide u to look for someone real whose personality is close enough

[lady_liege]

i have very zilch room to talk on this subject. in my little world staring me, eclipse (demon diary) is the mna by which all others are judged..... :rolleyes:

we are sad, sad human beings, which is why we are otaku......

[Farto the Magic]

You're not going insane. You're going sane in a crazy world. I once saw a fireworks show from my car, then realized that it was 10 o'clock on a Sunday night and most people don't do fireworks in December either. Yeah. Going crazy? Indeed. Judging from your posts though, I'd say you are just a weird kid who likes anime a lot. Which is good, because now you're among friends. You're not crazy until you see half a dozen non-existent truckers standing around your bed.

[kayutori_sama]

Ah yes,the dreaded Obssesive Fangirl Disorder....I must say it's been awhile since I've come in contact with this. The only thing I can say is that it's going to pass. Like previously stated in the thread, it's a phase and you will be over it. I knew a girl who was "in love" with Kenshin for about a year, then one day she came to the realization that what obsessing over an anime character made no sense whatsoever. All fangirls/fanboys experience this at least once whether you admit it or not. Regardless of what you think or "feel" this character is not real, and you'll just have to cross that bridge. If you don't...I don't know how that wedding ceremony would go....o.O

Yea, see, I would probably be one of those people.
But I won't be right now, because it's just too sad to poke fun at...
What Amelia says is right. I mean, I'm sure we all have characters that we absolutely adore. I love Inu Yasha, Kakashi, and Kenshin. But they are FICTIONAL characters, nothing more. I know that these are just characters that I can either identify with or they just entertain me. Awesome characters bring an anime to life. HOWEVER, there's a line that is crossed when one becomes an overly obsessed otaku/fangirl. And then you just make an *** of yourself. And I'm sure you don't want to do that. Or maybe you do, I dunno.
[I]But seriously, take it easy on the anime.You need to get back to reality my friend.[/I]

[ilovekyonkichi]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]*sigh* I feel that I am never gonna get over Kyo, but I did meet a [I]real[/I] guy that I kinda like... ...but, HE HATES MY CATS!!!!(grrrrrrr nobody messes with my kittys!) arigatou![/COLOR]

Don't worry you're not the only one who had crush on manga characters. I used to have this obsession or crush over Hayama from Kodocha but likely got over it. When you have a crush on a manga character,you couldn't get him and other cool characters out of your head. We all know that manga characters are not real. You'll sometime laugh at yourself too. It's this unexplainable feelings and you start to wonder if you're really going insane. I think that some of us are more slightly obsessed than others. Been this way isn't healthy (But I kept on reading it ).Finding someone who can relate to Kyo is fine.One thing though, never compare real people with anime characters.They maybe be charming but they only lives in the fantasy world. Face reality that they don't exist. If you still can't get over it,then it is best for you to stay away from manga for awhile.Why don't you go out with your friends and watch movies, read english books,do exercises, do other things that you love for those spare time? It helped me when I go out movies with my friends and watching TV. It helped me realise and wonder to myself " Now how did I start having crush on anime characters?" I naturally got over it day by day. I still admire manga characters but I'm no longer having crush or been obess about it now.Nothing should be concernedI'm sure you'll get over it slightly and without making yourself to. It's only the time matter.

[Guest MeZzyMart]

I'm sure you can find someone else who shares your passion for felines! Just don't worry too much about it, these things just happen and it's best not to rush into anything.

That reminds me, a few years ago, when Final Fantasy X came out, I had a crush on Tidus!

^_^ Good luck

[Japan]

[COLOR=DarkRed]My advice? Stop watching, reading, doing anything that has to do with anime, manga, and video games. Spend time in the real world for once instead of worthless fantasies that will only depress you in the end. Snap out of it.[/COLOR]
