The anime that changed you

Well, I would say Sailor Moon because it got me into anime in the first place...
but one that rocketed me to my fangirliness is of course my beloved Neon Genesis Evangelion. I remember watching the series thinking it was aout mechas like gundam so I was all for it...then I remember watching the last three or four episodes and my mind nearly imploded.

AIR. Just, AIR. Before I watched AIR I always believed that no matter what happened a character would get their happy end, one way or another. Through all the hardships and pain they went through, they'd smile at the end for all the things they've achieved. Once it hit that final episode and I saw it all the way through, I cried. Waterworks and full on sobbing.
That was the first anime I saw where I cared about the character enough to cry for her, and wish that she had achieved a happier ending. To this day, I make it an event to sit through one episode of AIR a week during Summer. AIR will always have a special place in my heart.
Thanks to AIR I've gone on and watched tons of different anime hoping to achieve that same level of care for the characters. So far only very few anime have gotten me to genuinely care about the characters like AIR did.

Akira showed me that not all anime are going to have happy endings. First time i saw it was when I was 8.(my parents didn't care what I watched.)

The anime that change my life, not Dragonball Z, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Zoids Zero, Pokemon, Digimon, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lupin the Third, and (there I say it) DORAEMON!
The one that is high on my list is Love Hina; the anime actually safe me from dropping out of high school and face the obstacles ahead of me (felt like Keitaro); and the ones I still love are all the Hayoa Miyazaki films (the above did contribute).

Inuyasha sadly did it for me.
It was either that or a Miyazaki film.
Quite frankly, there are only but few animes mainstream that are worth shit.
I remember FMA was the first anime I actually read the manga for before/while watching the anime.
But like, litterally changing me?
For the longest I hated music in anime.
If it didn't have voices I didn't want it.
Until I listened to the soundtrack to GITS.
GITS soundtrack blew my mind. Now thats how I watch most animes
If I don't like the soundtrack, I will most likely not watch it, because all animes with amazing soundtracks usually have amazing plots.
Same thing with wolfs rain and Canaan.

Now that I've given much thought about it, it is the LUPIN the III franchise which developed me into a viewer who is not easily taken aback by the twists and turns the most complex of stories has to offer.
Even up until now, I still watch Lupin (its yearly specials) and I just don't seem to ever tire of the gang's ridiculous antics. What else is there for me to say; this series is simply IMMORTAL!

Back when SyFi was doing saturday anime i watch Akira and was amazed with the characters and the story and of course Armatage the Third with the voice talants of Elizabeth Berkly and Keifer Sutherland awesome!
The anime that changed me was Neon Genesis Evangelion i was 17 when i bought the box set. For some reason i can relate to the main character Shinji Ikari, and was amazed on how much alike i am to him behavior wise. Overall i loved the characters, story, and now four new movies (two that are complete) is giving this series a new face lift that it deserves. Eva is truly the best anime series EVER!

Neon Genesis Evangelion really changed the way that I looked at animation in general. While Fullmetal Alchemist was the show that really grounded the foundations for my anime obsession, it wasn't until I encountered Evangelion that I realized how exciting and deep a cartoon could be. It had all the depth and character development of a 'real' series, and it really opened my eyes to the potential that could be unlocked in anime (and in all styles of animation for that matter).
It wasn't just a story about giant robots. It was a story about psychologically sick people coming to terms with themselves.
Plus, at the time, Rei melted my heart.

I must say what really grounded me into animation was Rurouni Kenshin ( Samurai X ) and Gundam Endless Waltz the movie. I was stuck thinking what is this....and i just watched Toonami and Adult Swim for the next few shows. Then the Internet nuff said.

Manga changed me more than Anime, Rurouni Kenshin was my love of all that was Japan. Bought all 28 volumes and they remain a treasured item in my room.
The anime that changed me was Code Geass. It wasn't the first by a long shot. My cousin introduced me to uncensored DBZ when I was a kid but it never really got me. I watched anime on and off, only reading Rurouni Kenshin and a few others. Then I found Code Geass. Never have I fallen in love with the characters so much. C.C. and Lelouch remain my favorite couple in anime and manga to date. They inspired me to write fanfics. I have both seasons and rewatch it every few months. I still feel so many emotions and feelings when I listen to certain songs. I LOVE than anime. So much.

Mustn't Run Away...
i really wanna say NGE...but i cant help but feel people have built it beyond what it really is..it is my favorite anime of all time (next to cowboy bepop) , but I cant help but feel people make it seem much deeper then it really is sometimes. On topic the anime that changed me...My Neighbor Totoro =_=

...Anime, huh? Suzumiya Haruhi. I did the little ending dance. I frequented the sos-dan boards often to find fan pictures of her. It was the gateway anime for me. I didn't really have a clear definition of what anime really was until I saw this.

Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. First anime to have really hit me emotionally. Also turned me into a hardcore drama lover.
