for me the fact i can't really relate to most anime characters is what makes me able to be interested in them. i had some friends in high school and we drifted apart as it usually happens, when i watch k-on which portrays a high school friendship as something transcendentally beautiful, it is so different from my lived experience that my boring memories of actual high school friendships don't really even cross my mind, thus i can sort of meet the show at its own level and genuinely feel for the characters
