From LiveScience:

“If you’re having a lonely time or feeling down one evening, you can pick up Harry Potter and feel like you’re connecting to Harry or Hermione or Ron,” Gabriel told LiveScience. She compared it to using a diet pill to stop from feeling hungry, or in this case filling that sense of social emptiness.

And…

And students who wrote 10-minute essays about favorite television programs verbally expressed fewer feelings of loneliness, compared to those who wrote essays about non-favorite programs or academic achievement.

What is the difference between a ten minute essay and a blog post? I don’t know. A blog post about a favorite television program episode might take longer than ten minutes to write? Excuse me, I’m going to hang myself Itoshiki-style now.

  1. I guess Dr. Pepper is a better option Jason.

  2. Mio-sama has officially begun her campaign for world domination. Blogsuki will be remembered by history as one of many successful major conquests, curiously offering little resistance. The first disciples will be rewarded in the big music room in the sky, and the skeptics will be doomed to eternal suffering and anguish as Yui’s imouto.

    I, for one, welcome our new bassist overlords.

  3. KyoAni are the masters in creating Goddesses. They are the Ah my Goddess of moe.

  4. This is best series of blog entries ever. I want mio. Erm, I mean, I want moe. I mean, I want more.

  5. the skeptics will be doomed to eternal suffering and anguish as Yui’s imouto.
    As far as damnation goes, this can’t be that bad, can it?

  6. You’re in despair? A brief glimpse of the total perspective vortex has left you in despair? More Mio will fix that right up! And the cycle continues…

  7. Ah, I just watched the 16:9 version of the broadcast. Shit was so cash.

  8. Except moe isn’t exactly for connecting to characters as i don’t think many of us relate to being scared of barnacles and having massive breasts (if you do relate to the latter, though, jason, send me some proof wink wink). Moe is more for creating a base of cuteness or sexiness that helps allow a person to create a wishful relationship to (waifus anyone) rather than a direct connection. In the case that it doesn’t, moe’s purpose simply becomes for fapping or having a cuteness overload (idk what else to call those moments (moements? maybe?)).

    tl;dr: i desperately continue to imply mio is a shallow character as the mio cult becomes legion

  9. … “many of us relate to being scared of barnacles and having massive breasts” …

    I’m betting this blog has a bunch of fatty male fans.

  10. Fantasy is a placebo to real life. I would suspect that the same was true prior to the internet, prior to the television, prior to the radio, and perhaps prior to the mass production of books. Longing to be someone else or something else is part of what makes us all human. Today, we dote over Mio, but two centuries ago, we SWEET J****, MIO, LOSE THE G******** HAT.

    Crud. I was this >< close to being philosophical. I blame it all on Mio’s gargantuan head.

  11. Oi Vodak, I’m not a fatty, I’m actually underweight. SO THERE!

  12. @dood: Wouldn’t that be the Moe Goddess Assistance Agency?

  13. @W4: Oh shush, Mio makes that hat look good and you know it.
