• Kino’s Journey (2000)

“The world is not beautiful; therefore, it is.”

A tale about Kino, who explores the world with nothing but protective weapons and Hermes’ talking motorcycle. Kino visits many magical realms, each with its traditions and individuals, and through their adventures, learns about the universe, conjuring laughter and encouragement at times or penetrating cynicism at other times. 

However, with no exception, Kino’s tradition is to remain in any city for no more than three days, as it is ample time to learn just about everything significant about the area while still having opportunities to discover new lands.

“I’ll never resent you, or hate you, or hurt you. Not ever. Not you or anyone. I’d rather die. So If I’m terminated, I’ll face my executioner with a smile. And I’ll tell them that it’s okay because it won’t be their fault for doing it. It’ll just be that they don’t know any better. I’ll die hopeful, that my death might have helped them… to understand someday.” – Photo.

• Code: Breaker (2012)

Sakura Sakurakōji looks out the window one day, sitting on a bus, to see people burnt to death with blue flames as a boy her age stays unscathed and stands over the people. There are no bodies or proof of any kind of crime, only a tiny flame when she heads back to the place the very next day.

. She realizes that the recent transfer student is the same boy she saw a day before when she goes to the class. Sakura soon discovers that he is Rei Ogami, the sixth “Code: Breaker,” an oddly capable special form of an assassin and a part of a government-serving secret organization.

“If you let yourself get depressed, you’d be making light of the people who trust and follow you.” – Ogami Rei

• Gintama (2006)

Gintoki carries his commitment as impulsive and prepared to face all the challenges with his fellow companions.

“Stress makes you bald, but it’s stressful to avoid stress, so you end up stressed out anyway. In the end, there’s nothing you can do.” – Gintoki Sakata

• My Teen Romantic Comedy (2013)

So precisely what will happen if Hachiman Hikigaya, an isolated high school student with no friends, no desire in having some, and a conviction that everyone’s supposedly wonderful junior high adventures are either illusions or downright falsehoods, is compelled by a well-meaning faculty member to attend the one-member “Services Club” managed by Yukino Yukinoshita, who is clever, beautiful and typically smart.

“The past makes you wanna die out of regret, and the future makes you depressed out of anxiety. So by elimination, the present is likely the happiest time.” – Hachiman Hikigaya.

“It is impossible not to hurt someone. Humans unconsciously hurt others by simply existing. Whether you are alive or dead, you keep hurting people. Getting involved will hurt them, but trying not to get involved might hurt them too. But if it’s someone you don’t care about, you won’t notice you’ve hurt them. What’s important is your awareness of it. It’s because you care about them that you feel like you’ve hurt them. Caring about someone means being resolved to the fact that you’ll hurt them. The more people care for each other, the farther out of reach certain things get. But that’s not something to be sad about. I think it’s probably something to be proud of.” – Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Shizuka Hiratsuka is the teacher of Hachiman Hikigaya, a guidance counselor and adviser at the club.

• Case Closed (1994)

How to cope with depression?

Your strength can be drained by depression, leaving you to feel hollow and weary. This can make it very hard to gather the courage or motivation to pursue counseling.

• Accept yourself for who you are. Loving yourself is the first step to overcome depression. It is not easy to love yourself. It is a process that will help in the long run. Take small steps, and you will see a big change.
• Don’t suppress your emotions. It’s an unhealthy way to cope with your emotions. When you feel gloomy, write down your feelings. Journaling might be a good option. It’s a more constructive way to cope with your emotions.
• Set goals that are achievable. 
• Reward yourself once you achieve the goals.
• Take a nature walk, listen to music, or do what you like.
• Practice meditation and relaxation techniques.
• Have a record of what you eat. It’s important to have healthy food. Your meals can also have an impact on your mood levels.
