What's the most significant emotional connection you've made with an anime character or a storyline?
| I know it's an anime discussion, but I can't help but mention the manga. Phos from Houseki no Kuni, especially in the manga. |
| Ashita no Joe. That is just it, for me. It's why that anime is in my favorites. To anyone who knows how these feelings feel, this anime portrays them perfectly. Yes, anime this old can portray something this realistic. |

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
| I have to answer with Shirase from Sora yori mo Tooi Basho as well as both Lena and Shin from 86 Eighty-Six, especially in the light novel. Almost no other characters have left an impact like these three have on me, like ripping out my heart and replacing it at the same time. |
 "You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of." - Vladilena Milizé |
| Probably Carmilla Vanstein from Hataage! Kemono Michi because she's a vampire and that was the Halloween monster I most wanted to be as a kid, and because she tries her hardest with whatever she does, and cries when she fails. Then there's Yang Xiao Long, my current avatar, because her motivations and fears are the same as mine. Also Kana from Oshi no Ko because my girlfriend told me I was like her.    |

| When watching Black★Rock Shooter (TV), I could barely understand the first half of the plot, and during the second part, I could not understand anything at all but felt - physically, in my chest - all the pain the main characters went through, as if I was emotionally and physically tortured alongside them. Insane experience. I wish more cinema to be more like Black★Rock Shooter (TV). |
Black★Rock Shooter (TV) is beyond its time arthouse fantasy/psychological drama/psychological horror/action. Should you watch it? See my review.  ⁺  ⁺  ⁼  |
| Emiya Shirou and Archer specifically from UBW. After that probably 8man from oregairu and Tomoya from Clannad. |

All the story of PMMM and the main characters, Madoka, Homura, Kyouko, Tomoe, Sayaka and Nagisa
| @Wendoka Consider watching Black★Rock Shooter (TV) then, it is most likely the only Madokaesque anime that achieved the same level of quality and even higher. You may want to read my review for it or see my (80% complete) Google slides presentation about it, which also includes the comparative analysis with PMMM. You may PM me for the link if you are interested. |

| Do characters from anime style games that don't have an anime adaptation (or even if there is an anime adaptation, don't show up in it) count? If so, then it's my soulmate from a Japanese browser based game that had a absolutely trash anime adaptation and he wasn't even in it. And also of course, my little octopus and my little ninja from a Chinese online mobile game. Cause they are definitely the ones i had (the first one)/have (the last two) the most significant emotional connection with. |

| Luffy, I have a fixation with adventures and wanting true freedom, from governments and also other opinions, I think the freedom he seeks is probably not only legally but physically, and mentally aswell. I also think having a friend group and experiencing it with them only makes an adventure/vacation better. |

| Shinji from Evangelion, yes I know it's a boring answer. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| For me it will always be Phos from Houseki no Kuni. |
