Graal leads to depression because it lacks content. The collective unconsciousness has a very real interpretation of "Holy Graal"; it represents something deeper, richer, holy, powerful, magical, and more meaningful. A virtual reality follows similar if not nearly exact principles of the drama of the theater of society. However, what happens a lot of times is that what is created in the spirit of goodness, gets finagled by actors/power-hungry men & turned into a cheap thrill. They take the beauty of the unfolding reality, hijack it, and then amp up the economic obsession to create a hamster wheel.
America, first of all, is a land of pirates; pirates flew across the sea, hijacked some land, and created a casino reality. Sure, it's amusing, and very stimulating, but in the end it is a hamster wheel of emptiness if you "go with the flow"—and it is meticulously designed to be so, because those who took power want you to continue throwing quarters into an unrewarding experience that appeals to lust & gore.
But it isn't reality; it's an ensemble of smooth-talking narratives for groups of "rulers" battling against each other in the name of "peace" & "glory". America worships the theater; and the person who controls the server here does as well. He took what was made and amped up people's obsession with vanity (clothing/lust) & gore (fighting) to milk them for money among something that was intended to be way more spiritual; inspiration only comes to the spiritual.
Thus, you enter into the beauty of what innocence makes—the stunted dawning of something much more rich, religious, and transcendent—but in the end you find yourself running around a hamster wheel of incomplete, hijacked economic power plays in a casino designed specifically to hook & entertain you without rewarding you. It leads to depression, because you invest so much time & entertainment into it; your subconscious sees the beauty & purity created by innocence—but unlike Zelda, the game was stolen long ago to be nothing more than a drug to keep pumping you with adrenaline & arousal after good people made something beautiful.
You become tired. You look around you in real life & see that capitalism is the same thing. A bunch of mindless drones being told "they can be kings too if they work hard enough", obsessed with the latest fashion, technology, and entertainment—zipping around—but missing something very, very deep. You go to bed at night, your parents come home from serving a dollar all day & party it up in the night—keeping you awake—& you feel like nothing but a tool in a machine.
I see why you're depressed. Then, you look out into the land of pirates who want your power, and they offer you hope for a high price in the name of advanced education … And you wonder what your purpose is going to be. You go to the churches, and it's the same thing that happened before Rome collapsed. A bunch of people in suits barking manipulated interpretations of something religious to milk people in an addiction for a dollar.
Anime is slightly amusing; but then it's riddled with hyper-sexualized, garbage plots, garbage animation, and terribly produced sound-effects because a bunch of capitalists wrung it together to make a quick dollar.
When you get to the rabbit hole, and everyone says, "Don't go in, it's a trap!"—
I say—follow the little white rabbit.
