There was a time when I had a bad case of eighth-grade syndrome. I spent my days absorbed with the Key of Solomon, the works of Aleister Crowley, Satanism, and a plethora of other things, but primarily with Norse mythology. I believed in magic and he occult. I was that kid.
No one understood me. I was different. I was special.
I stopped believing that long ago. I’m part of working society now. My soul has been broken, ground, and tamed so completely. I’m one of the people I once spoke of with scorn. Unfortunate, yes, but alas, this is the course for us all.
Why do I feel so empty?

Joint with UTW.
Thanks!
You can still be that kid! People only get broken if they want to belong to a society, you don’t need to achieve that to stay alive! :3
What are all these things about? So confused… I thought I would get it after awhile…
Thanks.
Here, have some of my love (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
I know exactly what you mean. Just watching this anime just made a lot of fun, yet super embarrassing, memories resurface. I believed in Witchcraft, even tried to do plenty of ‘good magic’ rituals, granting good luck and charms and believing i was gifted. Walking home and believing my magic protected my friends/family from evil spirits.
@No one, you can still be that kid, but such thoughts don’t help when you need to work hard just to get by in university, or get a job, or buy a house or raise a kid. As Yuuta said, ‘if it doesn’t exist, it doesn’t exist.’
I just hope the last episode of this anime can spark some semblance of belief again. I really really need it.
I despise religion, but people that believe in stuff that doesn’t exist continue to thrive in this world. And if you go by delusions, a lot of people live with them everyday can have a nice life. People that see illusions though, those can be in a hard spot if they don’t think it right or get some drugs.
Working for a goal isn’t about what type of person you are, just how much you want to achieve that goal, that’s my opinion.

If you feel empty, then perhaps fill it with the things that make this world truly spectacular! This is a vast universe, it doesn’t need magic to be amazing
Find yourself a cause and like-minded fellows and follow it. During work-time your soul may belong to your boss, but your own time is your own. With a cause to follow and friends to share the burden with you won’t be so empty or lonely either.
I find it amusing that people think they cannot still retain their inner child even when grown up, in school, university, or when having a job. It’s just that we can’t do it all the time. Isn’t that why we all indulge in hobbies?
Does anyone know how the anime compares to the novel?
It seems completely different.
Like So:
When I wasn’t looking, I had collided into Takanashi and fell down. So of course, the panties I’m looking at have to belong to Takanashi. Wait, this is bad!
XD
Eighth-grade – syndrome? Ha!
Back in the beginning of the 1990s, on the tail end of the wave/gothic movement, things were still thick with Crowley and magick and let’s not go to that Das Ich gig tonight and throw ourselves on some graves instead – all the people were like, what, 20? 25?
Yuuta could borrow a few lines from David Tibet, but I expect him to tip back over into Dark Flame Master instead:
