| Are there characters, a story arc, or even an entire anime that you can say "that's literally me" or "that's literally my life"? Was this experience positive or negative for you? |
 |
| Haha, I doubt anyone wants to see a character or story like that, so such an Anime probably doesn't exist. Welcome to the NHK has a few similarities, but still far different. |

| I remember watching The Money Soul and feeling a connection with the main character because of his daily life and personality. Also, GTO because dude is really cool and helpful. |
 |
| FLCL resonated with me the most on a personal level |
| Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu is literally about me. Except for the romance part. Same for Watamote and Tatami Galaxy. |
 |
| I haven't seen an Anime that matches my entire life, which very well sounds like a work of fiction in of itself. But Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru definitely reminds me of the time that my family & homes were badly affected by spirits. How they cleared them was also very accurate. As for characters who are like me, probably Tomoki Sakurai is most like me... |

| So far, I haven't met any doppelgangers. |
 |
| My life? No. Character? Yes, Shikamaru Nara in Naruto has the same personality to as me. He even married the best girl in the show. |
 |
| The closest i've seen in anime to one who's close to me is Kintaro Oe from Golden Boy. |
| Driver, Officer K and Ken are literally me. Leloch van Rampage also is literally me. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Rudeus is just like me for real. The most relatable character in anime. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| i relate to a lot of characters but none of them are 100% me neither are they 100% of themselves all about me nor is their 100% near the scale of 100% of me or a person. if that makes any sense. |
 |
| If there was a genetic combination chamber and you put in some dna of Makoto Tsukimoto, Yutaka Hoshino, Egami, Bojack Horseman and Todd Sanchez you'd have me. |
| There isn't any character who are 100% like me or any other kind of stuff such as whole anime or arcs, there are characters with whom I relate alot, if I would have to pick a one who's the closest one to my personality and even look like I'd say Hisagi Shuuhei, for look like I would need to dye my hair for dark purple, take of glasses and wear eye contacts and I would have to shave my facial hairs to 0 [obviously outfit I don't count it, aswell as I don't count the scars], personality wise is very similar to me - https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Shuhei_Hisagi#Personality. Here's if you ain't familair with name Hisagi: |

| Shinei Nouzen from 86 is the closest i can think of, he is a bit more charming though. |

| Kuroki Tomoko is the only correct answer. |
| Not the whole anime, but the bit in Nichijou where Yukko keeps embarrassing herself in a public train in every way imaginable. |

| Apart from NHK ni Youkoso! which is kind of obvious, there's one donghua: Shaonian Ge Xing where one of the MCs - Se Xiao looks a bit like my father (especially his chin) in his teens. The love interest for him - Qianluo Sikong looks even more like my mom in her teens, with the main difference being she doesn't have heterochromia, her both eyes are green. Even their tempers are similar to those of my parents (Se Xiao acting like nobility surrounded by peasants and Qianluo Sikong being a shrew). It's highly entreating to watch them participating in an epic action-adventure story. By the way Shaonian Ge Xing happens to be my favorite wuxia of all time, with one flow - the first season is quite meh and quite ugly, but you need it for context. The later seasons and the spin-offs are very good. |

| Rei Kiriyama from 3-gatsu no Lion. (Hope this is not too boring a choice) Except that I don't have his absolutely inhuman work ethic and his willingness to throw himself into cut-throat competition environment on a daily basis. Also I don't have anywhere near as tragic a childhood as he had. It's strange how I ended up such a similar kind of person though... |
| Another chance to promote my favorite anime. Protagonist is literally me: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4147/Gang-aji_Ttong |
 |
| Itoshiki from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is literally me fr fr |
"Most anime makers are basically autistic" - Hideaki Anno |
| I'm literally Gojo when I said "Nah, I'd win" against life |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| None in particular but generally speaking EVERYONE should relate to Lucky Star in some way. |

| @Yuu_Kanzaki This anime passed me by at the time, but many people recommended it to me, saying that they considered it one of, if not the best SoL in history. |
|
| At the time I watched it, Kuroki from Watamote really was my "that's litterally me" character (pretty depressing times). Fortunately it has changed since xD |

| @RobertBobert Yeah it's actually really good. I know a lot of people like Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou but this one is funnier imo. |

| @Yuu_Kanzaki I heard that Naoko Yamada considers this show to be her favorite project that she has worked on and that is why she even collects merch from it. But I don't know if she used her style back then. |

| Any good-hearted old man pervert looks a little like me. |
| So far: Asahi and Bokuto from Haikyuu!!, Hanuki from Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, Moominpappa from Tanoshii Muumin Ikka, Ryuuguu Rena from Higurashi and Yang Wen Li from LOGH. |
 MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |
| Touma from toaru majutsu no index minus all the weird esper and magic stuff. his daily bad luck is extremely relate able. drove car because some one need a shift covered at work only to get there and find someone else already covered it. came back out car battery was dead due to the cold weather. spent most my day sitting in my car waiting for a mechanic to drive over... |

| im literally shoya from silent voice |
 |
| I'm literally Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock. I have had similar experiences to her and also struggle to talk to people when I need to. Although I am not a cute anime girl and I quit guitar. |
| the final arc of tatami galaxy hit home with its message to not shut your self away from those that you love and that love you and rot away your passions, dreams and sense of being. no life will be your perfect dream but it is better at least to try and get out there and enjoy the time you have. |
