the disease that ensue after watching the 2021 anime, horimiya:
stage 0 (while watching the show): giddyness, pure joy
stage 1: simpage, being
absolutely down bad for characters/
relationships in the show
stage 2: scouring
the internet for horimiya clips to try to feel the joy again
stage 3: watching other romcoms but not feeling satisfied as they will never live up to horimiya
stage 4: pure depression. how are they so happy. i want to be happy. where is my miyamura. where is my hori.
stage 5 (terminal): sos the depression is becoming terminal. life support won't cut it anymore. going into tachycardic arrest.
stage 6: the fabled stage 6, where the viewer has moved on. nobody knows if it's more than a myth.
