| Well for most of stuff I was neutral except for 4 times: First time seeing announcment of Bleach annivairsairy pv project at livestream 8 years after the anime has ended, Bleach Tybw Cour 1 Pv 9 years after the anime has ended, Bleach tybw cour 1 episode 1 after 10 years, for a die-hard fan like myself waiting without knowing anything, hoping for the last arc to be animated and than experiencing that, there ain't any words which could describe that. And not so far ago while watching livestream of Tv Tokyo, seeing out of nowhere the remade major scenes for Bleach but in Tybw quality... |
| I have happy memories getting 'psyched' to watch DBZ with my college buddies back in the late90s. Was the only time I ever watched anime as a group activity. Individual watching experiences that were the best: Watching Fate/Aporypha was a blast, I really enjoyed the hell out of that show Made in Abyss (the first season) was a wondrous experience, the music then changed my listening habits forever Mushi-shi got me through a difficult time in my life and I am forever grateful The first season watch of Promised Neverland was a rollercoaster ride and I really enjoyed that The first time I ever watched the Ghost in the Shell movie was surreal, I had a few drinks, and some of the interlude scenes were transfixing with the brain haze. Watching that movie is a experience, it has a vibe, no other anime quite has so I have a tradition when I want to recapture that feeling, I watch it again. |

@SuperAdventure Mushishi is amazing. Probably the most beautiful anime. And a 10/10 soundtrack.
| @W0RST-GENERATION Yes I agree! The soundtrack- I was saying Made in Abyss soundtrack, but before that existed, there was Mushi-shi soundtrack and I tried (and failed) to find copies of it anywhere, including on music streaming. It's very good music, and I have favorite songs from episodes I watch just so I can hear them... |
Of course there are many more, but these would probably be the most important. |

| Back when Naruto, Bleach and One Piece used to be published weekly in SJ simultaneously, my friends and I would gather around in a cozy internet cafe, read the new chapters together and spend hours discussing, theorizing and stuff. |
 |
| I would never forget when I watched bunny girl senpai when I first started anime in 2021. Just sitting in the bathtub and watching it. Another one is watching JJK during summer. Its just such a vibe. |
| Watching my favourite anime of course. |
  |
| 1. When I finally got to watch Naruto Shippuuden after years and years of waiting and suffering through filler arcs. That first OP was such a hype. I got goosebumps when they showed Deidara, Sasori, and the whole The Akatsuki in that OP. Akatsuki was the coolest antagonist group back then. 2. The first time I watched The Night is Short, Walk on Girl. This was my first introduction to Masaaki Yuasa. It's a surreal anime movie about a bunch of characters spending a night doing random things. It felt like I was with them in this very night. It was the most fun night by watching anime I've ever had. |
| Being obsessed with Pokemon as a kid. Watching Digimon Frontiers religiously as kid and annoying my family by singing along the ending theme song during dinner. Watching Death Note (my "first" anime) and getting so into it that my father intervened on my binge watching. Shocking my friend by crying so much at the end. The first years of being an anime/manga fan when everything was exciting and I had friends that really liked it too. It was more than just watching and reading a lot, I was enjoying all the fanworks, going to events and doing anime-related activities with friends. Making my friend watch two episodes of Gintama without context and laughing at her getting mad at the plot twist because she didn't know how the characters usually were. Travelling to Japan, visiting anime/manga stores, hugging a Pikachu during the Pikachu Parade and getting a plushie in a crane machine available during the event. Yes, I was already an adult at this point, but I've loved Pikachu for most of my life. Every time I watch/read a series I love. |
| I guess simply watching all my favorite anime, especially those 10/10 ones. |
 |
| I actually passed highschool thanks to Death the Kid from Soul Eater. I was about to fail my art class because I was too lazy to draw, so they gave me the option of an oral exam about art theory to pass. I was doing so-so but one of the last (and most important score-wise) questions was something along the lines of "What would you call an object whose left and right sides match each other perfectly?" then I remember Death the Kid funny ocd and yelled "SYMMETRY" without even doubting it, passing that class. |

| 1. Watching Sailor Moon for the first time at an age when my primary animation exposure was Disney Movies. I wondered why this version of Snow White was so awesome. It's interesting that it's considered a stereotypical girly show because it was significantly more violent than most of the North American girls' shows I watched. 2. Two things related to Cardcaptor Sakura / Cardcaptors: Meiling was the first Chinese character I absolutely adored and obsessed over. The only thing comparable other than my parents' Chinese dramas and films we'd rent every so often was Jackie Chan Adventures. She was my Donald Duck, that plucky, foul-tempered idiot that tries really hard and keeps getting back up after all the jokes and humiliation they're on the receiving end of. The other thing was that I was really fond of the Nelvana dub soundtrack. Guardian of the Cards was the first song I covered and was my first step to becoming a singer despite feeling I could never do it because I didn't have the right voice. 3. Being genuinely shocked by Love Live Superstar. I was in a major depressive slump at the time and was pretty Grinchy about the idea that an anime could change someone's life. I had a "seen it all" attitude at that point. But I saw the first few episodes and found Kanon pretty relatable, especially when she started crying about being the reason Keke couldn't fulfill her dream. Then it became steadily apparent that Kanon wasn't the stereotypical dumb, but lucky anime protagonist, but was actually pretty smart and cool, and I felt more and more that this was an anime that actually respected me as a viewer. And then the second last episode hit, everything came together in one low-key, but amazing, beautifully animated, and musically scored plot twist, and I flat out lost it. Afterwards, I really ended up rethinking my life and noticing myself becoming more confident. Superstar also ended up replacing a lot of my childhood favourites, but that's a positive because anime should be getting better with time. |
| Being a little kid growing up in the Pokemon and Yugioh era was something i'll always cherish. Seeing all the merch in stores, all the special promos and commercials, it was sold in book fairs at my school. It was such a special time. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I doubt this would rank in my top ten list of memories if I were to make one, but I was feeling very nostalgic about JJK today... Listening to "Kaikai Kitan" and "Lost In Paradise," scrolling through social media remembering how I felt about it when the first season came out, watching it on the tail end of me suffering through "Naruto" for too many episodes, and I really liked the characters and the story and felt so hopeful and positive about it... And now here I am, only with those good memories to look back on and feel fondly about. I definitely do not feel the same way about that series anymore (although I still like the main cast of characters and it's unfortunate they were in a series that didn't do them justice). |

| My favorite anime moment is Hyperdimension Neptunia and Date a Live. Those anime girls are simply adorable! I think Nepgear and Blanc are simply awesome....... |
