Some of mine are:

Durarara - this site of course!

Planetes & Twin Spica - Taught me about Space Junk! While I wish Twin Spica was longer, I still really enjoyed the ride.

Hikaru no Go & Piano no Mori - inspired me to be more persistent towards my goals and to appreciate how far I've come when it comes to my interests (as well as work to get even better)

Kemono no Souja Erin - impacted my career choice (in a way that's not immediately obvious)

Nodame Cantabile - got me into classical music

Haikyuu - got me to exercise lol

Looking forward to reading your guys' replies!

>>3 Hermano.

maybe a little TMi.

DuRaRaRa. Caught a random episode on Adult Swim, and at first I thought little of it. It started growing on me, and somehow led me to find this site and the chat rooms.

I didn't know how much I needed what the series gave me, and I'll always remember it for the awesome time I had; being part of this community, the fanbase and the works. It gave me relief from my daily life of long-term Depression, even if just temporarily. I don't think I've ever really experienced this kind of community before then, and I learned a lot. Helped me find some new fun hobbies; and surprisingly met many chill people, at a time when I was getting more asocial [and maybe even misanthropic] everyday.

TL;DR: it helped me cope, always a win. It gave me an adventure I'll never forget, even though it wasn't perfect.

For me it's Clannad and Clannad after story. It reminds me of goodness of people every time. So I rewatch it time after time again and again. It taught me to try to find and create new "fun and happy things", as things are changing. Helped to accept that even if something brought me happiness before and I lost it or could not continue doing something, I can always find new things what brings joy, meet new people.


>>5 That sounds so special!

Not suprising but Durarara because I'm a person who hates socializing and going out. However Drrr made me feel like I was too sheltered and missing out in life cuz I was always cooped up in my room. So after Drrr, I started going out more and experience new places and activities. (I still hate socializing tho)

Hunter x Hunter and Jojo had similar effects like drrr

and ,my fav anime of all times, Mononoke made me appreciate traditional and cultural art more

>>2 kuroko no basket really does that to people. It made me want to make friends even though I can't make long lasting connections
