Anime Inquiry

[drizzleRomanceGirl]

Does anyone know of an anime where the main character is constantly bored, and he or she tries to find ways to cure his or her boredom? I would like this to be either the main plot of the anime or a major subplot. Thank you in advance.

the plot seems vaguely familiar to me but I can't put my finger on any that follow that exact guideline.

the Slice of Life genre usually follows the same principle though.

Thank you, but that anime is more about finding how to function in normal society than curing boredom. From what I saw, the main character isn't bored that often. Thank you for the suggestion though.

if an anime existed where main char is bored all the time nobody would watch it

oh. I guess Death Note counts, I mean it's horribly over rated and such. But anyway, the main character is bored with his normal life and finds a note book that can kill people. I thought I'd point it out since that's what was on the tip of my tongue.

this

I don't even know that much anime that's like what you mentioned actually lol. In fact the only show (animation/cartoon) that I know that has a similar storyline is Phineas and Ferb lol

I don't mean where someone is bored now and then and does interesting hobbies once in awhile. I mean a scenario similar to someone who has been severely depressed and hasn't found anything interesting to do for years.

AnoHana? (mc never goes to school, lost all motivation to do anything because of a past event, but then a girl appeared and everything changed)

Something like this?

Yes, that's an example of the anime I'm searching for. ^.^ I recently watched that anime though, so do you know any other anime similar to it?

I watched the first episode but there doesn't seem to be any characters who are struggling to keep an interest in life. D:

I just watched the first episode of Hyouka, and it was really interesting! Thank you for suggesting it. Honestly, it wasn't what I was looking for: the main character wanted a low-profile without exerting a lot of effort, but I'm looking for a scenario where someone is extremely bored with life and tries to find something interesting. I really like Hyouka so far though. ^.^

You can always go with melancholy lol.

HOW HAS NO ONE SAID CLANNAD YET. HOLY SHIT.

Main character is bored with life to the point of depression pretty much, atop of having a shitty father and shit.

However, you need to watch a 48 episode anime that will make you cry your eyes out.

Synopsis here for you. Possible spoiler alert.

Fuck.

Someone might say that the whole romance stuff is more important, and earnestly, I disagree.

apathy =/= boredom

But still, if you haven't watched Clannad there is something horribly wrong with how you've spent your time on this planet.
