SHOCKING: Anime based therapy is being trialed in japan - What They Never Told You

An anime character, as featured in Minds1020Lab's anime therapy, which is being trialled in Japan.

What am I saying, of course you've done that. We've all been there. Moving on.

Anyway, turns out there's a future in which something similar could be possible. Earlier this month, Yokohama City University's Minds1020Lab began trialling "anime therapy", as reported by itmedia (thanks, Automaton, for the translation).
