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.
"shit, the horimiya effect is hitting hard."
"me too man, i still dream about miyamura sometimes..."
