An anime that hit alittle to close to home.

<< < (3/3)

Well, the first anime I ever watched naturally "hit close to home" for me, in that it got me into the world of anime in the first place (Onegai Teacher, dubbed, on youtube).

The first fansub I watched, which was also the second anime I ever watched, Ai Yori Aoshi, also got to me, because it was a bit of a deeper story than the first one, so it had me thinking about it a lot for a few weeks.

Another one that really got to me was School Days. I will never look at relationships between people the same way again.

this is going to sound stupid, but Fate/Stay Night was pretty helpful to me. After seeing the way Shirou acted through that series I began to realize how angry and selfish I was being towards everyone around me. Shiou inspired me to be more selfless and begin thinking of others over myself. I'm always on the lookout now for things I can do to help people.

There is no single anime that has gotten to me like that, but overall I can definitely say i take things less seriously, and im alot less selfish since i started watching anime.
I didnt really realize how rude i was being at times to other people, until recently.

I'm still alot more lazy, and selfish then i should be though... maybe someday i can get over that.

It was great how it handled some real life problems near the end.  I too ran away from home when I was young.  And for silly reasons, like thinking it would be better on my own.  The words used that hurt his mother touched close to home too.

A recent series that brought not so good memories is Kanememo.  It's a comedic slice of life show.  But they work delivering papers.  I used to do that and hated it.  Took the job on my own, and with it being the first, think I kept at it so not to be a quitter.  Made extra spending money, but so not worth it.


btw, I swear it seems that third of the posters have turned into mods, and the other third are wannabees.

Agree. We will take them out the back of the shed and shoot them. Cleanse the world of these people.

When i first looked at this thread name i thought it was about what anime has most closely resembled a part of life since as kenpa007 said this has been done.

Strangely enough, the first anime I watched that really "hit close to home" was Kiddy Grade.  I was several years into a long term debilitating illness at the time, where I was in constant daily pain.  When I watched the episode where Éclair tells Lumière that she just wants to die, and Lumière tells her that she can't, it reminded me of myself and my wife so much that I just broke down into tears in the middle of the show.
