While absorbing the experience from a book or a movie is not as profound as experiencing the situation reality yourself, many catalystic paths may open when you try to see from the various perspectives of the characters in the stories.
While anime may not be the cup of tea for everyone, they can be very extreme and direct with their storylines, with the aim to provoke your emotions quite a bit. Here's an anime I just watched based on the story Count of Monte Cristo, called Gankutsuou.
It is an extremely depressing anime showcasing the base evils of human beings. There are moments of positive redemption to contrast against the deep negativity, so if you watch more than 2 episodes, make sure you finish watching the entire thing. I almost couldn't bear to watch the entire thing due to the negativity, but the way it plays out is beautiful. The reason I liked it a lot because it resonates with what I've read from this site and from LOO. It's similar to how Extremely Negative aligned beings think and act, and then the highly positive gains that may be found from such a strong catalyst.
Here's a link to view the show: http://www.anilinkz.com/gankutsuou/ganku...episode-1/
Hope you find it useful as much as I did. Before I read the LOO I would have just seen it as another depressing show, but now it was quite a nice catalyst.
