| Naruto... It got me hooked, and lead to me discovering anime. It changed my life a lot, as I ended up wasting my teenage years and early adult life on a chair in the front of a computer. |
 |
| Rurouni Kenshin was definitely the most impactful anime in my life. There is something very relaxing about watching most of the early episodes of the show, to me the show has a very soothing atmosphere, almost magical, which is strange because at first glance it's just a historical setting from a period that has been done time and time again. The anime manages to perfectly blend a bit of slice of life, romance, comedy and action (while also having an incredible charming 90s nostalgia-inducing animation if that's your thing) while having, in my opinion one of the most interesting shounen protagonists ever. Kenshin isn't a run-of-the-mill shounen protagonist - he is a grown man who went through a lot in his life already and is now having a sort of a "redemption arc" so to speak. From the first moment I fell in love with the series and watching Kenshin's story unfold made me at least a bit happier at a time when I felt down pretty much all the time. It's an incredibly complex character that many of us can relate to in ways you wouldn't even imagine at first. Kenshin's fascinating story, slower pace and relaxing atmosphere of the series was just the right thing for me to make me forget about all the stressful things happening to me in real life. I know all too well that there are objectively better anime out there. After all Kenshin fails in many aspects (the animation is lackluster at times and the anime turns into a filler hell after the famous Kyoto arc) and there are much more complex and better stories in other anime series, but Kenshin will always be near and dear to my heart. I am very likely biased because I watched it at a time when it affected me a lot, so I am not saying it's a series that is for everyone. It's, however, something I personally really want to revisit a few years down the line to reminisce about the good times I had with it or perhaps to find new things to love. :) |

| Death Parade taught me that there is no one in this world who could decide about someone's life or death, and that everyone deserves to live, because there are no evil people by nature, everything depends on the circumstances that we encounter in our lives. It also taught me that people die to enjoy their life. That's all from important things I can remember for now. |

KASAlovesANIME said: Clannad Afterstory For the things that it taught me. The value of family, members , fatherhood, friendship, meaning of help, meaning of loss, try to get up after every fall even if it's hard and so muchhh. I haven’t seen it yet but just from the general gist I get from everything, Iran probably the most fleshed our slice of life of all time in terms of it exploring such a long period of time |

| Watching Hibike! Euphonium made me re-realise my love for music, and inspired me to pick up an instrument again for the first time in many years. Almost 3 years later, and here I am taking weekly lessons for 4 different instruments, as well as playing in a handful of different ensembles. Hibike still remains among my favourite anime for helping me discover my passion. |
| Clannad spurred me to reexamine what I really have as I realized how fortunate I really was, and am. It wouldn't hold so well after all these years if it lacked the foresight to reflect an audience as it got older Dango Gang for life |

tsuchizen said: i feel that most anime i've watched that left an impression to me no matter how small, changed me in some ways. there is however, an anime that made me feel like life is still worth living. that series is gintama. i'm always alone. people come and go in my life. i don't have a great relationship with my family, im not doing well in pretty much anything. in short, i'm worthless. but gintama, man. it help me cope with dark thoughts. i feel a deep bond and connection to almost every characters. i could've done stupid shit to myself if it wasn't for gintama. and it just ended, sheesh, i couldn't be emptier. Ometedou! I want to get into that one, but it's so long |

Wasn’t there like two that you should avoid? I think DEEN’s and one other The other one is probably fate apocrypha. Fate apocrypha was ALL over the place in terms of quality, and if I wasn't already a fate fan, I wouldn't have enjoyed it. From shoddy sound design, inconsistent and very questionable animation, to even a time wasting filler arc and an infuriatingly basic and boring MC, it was a bit of a catastrophe. Apocrypha is an anime you watch if you've already played FGO, which is the mobile game, as seeing some characters in the show that you've already seen in-game adds to the entertainment value and makes it worth watching. |

There is also heaven's feel, a string of movies currently coming out which adapts one of the three routes from the original fate stay/night visual novel, with UBW being another one. It's a bit convoluted, but fate/zero to UBW is a story all in of itself and very worth watching without considering the fate universe as a whole. |

| Deadman Wonderland. When I was eleven and twelve I was a victim of bullying. Nothing physical - I somethimes wished it though because I think I could have at least fought back that way - but it really messed me up psychologically. I never had friends, so I was really exicited to transfer to a new school only to find out that among my classmates were the people woh would make my life a living hell. A kid told me "I hate you", on the first day, completely sincere, without even knowing me. It got only worse from that. Teachers and parents were powerless. They saw it only as harmless teasing. To the other kids it was probably a joke. My parents still joke to this day about how in their opinion the kid who bullied me the most persumably had a crush on me. Because I suppose bullying another person needed to be thought of as romantic. Sure. I still do not know why they targeted me, maybe because I was different. They insulted me, spread rumors about me, they mocked and ridiculed me, and acted as if it was normal or even as if they were my friends when others were around. When I said that I was not their friend, refused to hug them in public or fought back, I was labeled asocial and mean. I became shy, hid behind caps and hoodies, wanting to become invisible. I reacted to others sharply and attacked them verbally, just so I could protect myself from whatever they wanted to do to hurt me. I lost all of the little selfconfidence I had, got scared of large groups of people and was constantly paranoid when people were nice to me. I assumed everyone was just acting and that nobody really liked me. I cried nearly everyday. Because it hurt so much. A classmate from elementary school that I still had contact with was watching Tokyo Ghoul at the time and suggested me to start watching Anime too. I dunno how I got to watch Deadman Wonderland but I was in love with it after one episode. My parents are against Anime so I have to watch it in secret. I spend hours and hours just watching and crying. I really got attached to and identified with the main character Igarashi Ganta because I also was in a situation I could not escape, doubted myself, felt helpless and weak and cried a lot. And I hated myself (and him) for that feeling of doubt, helplessness and weakness and the crying. He WAS me, in a sense. It did not solve my problem but just watching and crying helped to ease the pain I was feeling. After the Anime I binge-read the manga and watched other series. Anime became some sort of source of inner freedom and peace to me, a place where I could be careless. On a shitty day, watching a couple of episodes would cheer me up. A good day would be even better if I watched Anime. Most of the bullies left the school. When I meet them accidentally now, they act surpised and taken aback beause I do not want to speak with them or hug them or be in the same room as them and ask others why I am actively evading them. I still have no real friends in my class but they let me live, and I make an effort to let them live as well. I am a changed person and will probably suffer from this experience for a couple years. I am still thin skinned as hell and start to cry easily but it go so much better. I do my best to become more social, get out of my shell again and meet people though I have a hard time actually befriending anyone because I am still keeping my distance. But I know I can and I will someday. Ganta has left Deadman Wonderland and made friends, so I can too. Thank you for this topic, it's not easy for me to talk / write about this phase of my life but I think it gets a little bit better with each time. And sorry, this post got kind of depressing and long owo I apologize but I could not stop crying while writing. Gomen. Here's a cute image of ma gurl Nezuko to end this post on a high note! Have a nice day c: |
