Love Live is undoubtedly a benchmark within the universe of Idol-inspired stories. The anime is a mix of music and life stories that focuses on a plot that at first may seem simple; from the mission to save an academy to become a multimedia sensation is what it is all about. But with the development it has had, it has become a recognized franchise and of course, loved by its fans.
Fanatic gets his life back thanks to Love Live
It is clear that we have all had good and bad moments in life; many have had the courage to share and face their complications, while others prefer to remain silent. In these situations there seems to be nothing clear, but sometimes you find something to lean on to try to solve some complications, like anime. Today we are going to talk about part of the fandom, but not the ones that get into trouble, like a certain fan who evaded some rules, more details here.
This time we are going to talk about the case of a fan who has decided to talk about a difficult part of his life, and that thanks to meeting the Love Live franchise has managed to fight his depression; yes, as if it were a testimony of recovery, is how the user @Rmrl_l has published so far this experience through his Twitter account.
The thread begins with a video where he relates this experience with the help of some viral memes of kittens that you have surely seen on the internet, well, this begins in 2010, where he was clearly overwhelmed, after a while he is watching a certain TV channel where for the first time he meets the Love Live franchise, and from that moment something immediately caught his attention.
Over the years, he got deeper into the universe of this story, got to know its adaptations and became part of the fandom of the musical franchise, going to the events that were organized and of course, came in contact with other people who shared the same hobby. Continuing with the thread, he also shared some notes where he was able to express with a little more depth a bit of his story.
In the text he relates the following: first he thanks his father for the approach he has had since his childhood, describing him as an otaku whom he respects a lot. As for his mother, he says that he can’t say much because their relationship is complicated. And that for the time being he chooses to prioritize his responsibilities, although he also does not rule out the idea that at some point he may relapse, as on some occasions he has stopped attending in-person events due to his depressive state.
Even so, he says that this is not a success story, but Love Live has undoubtedly become a kind of lifesaver, since thanks to the activities in which he has been involved as another fan it has meant having something that interests him and drives him to continue with his life, which although, he could not say that he has been completely “cured”, the truth is that everyone chooses how to deal with their problems and hobbies are really relevant in this type of situation.
He clarifies that this is from his own vision and is not intended to be anything more than a publication. What came after this story were messages of support from other internet users, some sharing that they felt similarly and commenting that for some Love Live also meant a kind of “salvation” in their lives. Finally, other users recognize that above all it is important to enjoy your hobbies and pastimes because it is precisely those that drive you to achieve your goals.
