Progressive Anime Girl Obsession 

Progressive Anime Girl Obsession (PAGO) is when someone constantly becomes heavily attached or obsessed with an anime girl for a short period of time only to switch to a different anime girl repeatedly.

Some symptoms include constantly thinking about or imagining oneself in fantasies with the character, searching for and downloading a large amount of artwork, and talking about the character too much around friends.

PAGO can commonly be found in people with high emotional capacity or those who relate or attach easily to new characters. It can also be sexually driven among those who consume a surplus of hentai or other Japanese erotic art.
