Frieren taught me that time is a perspective, time well spent or poorly spent is subjective. if the time you spent doing something felt worthwhile then its well spent. thematically its true for the show but also every episode felt wayyyy longer than its actual runtime, felt like i spent an hour every episode watching. it also reminded me that little things matter because that's what you'll remember so don't take them for granted, take a moment to laugh at yourself. self laughter can never leave a scar.
I feel like most anime I've watched have impacted my way of living even in the slightest. It's either small habits, phrases or how I take in different media. Awsome video btw! U NEED MOR RECOGNITION MY MAN!!!
Anime gave me the courage to acknowledge my emotions and express it without being embarrassed. I realised it's not cringe or embarrassing to be able to talk about my emotions.
For me it was Your Lie in April. As a musician myself it hit so. freaking. hard. My youngest son is a special needs child and we were told that he wouldn't last eight days after he was born. He's still alive and VERY kicking and he's 19 now. So the spectre of oncoming death but tying that to a musical soul REALLY connected with me. Just... A classic.
Attack on Titan and A Silent Voice changed me and affected how I am today. AOT taught me to search for the grey in conflicts, that almost nothing is black and white, and how far ambitions and ideologies can take you, how they can corrupt and evil things can come from good intentions; it was a deep story about the human condition and it will never leave my mind. A Silent Voice helped my through some tough times, when I first watched it I was so so much like the main character, and it made me realize that I am never alone and that I can move past the pain in my life. Half a year after I watched it I was able to make friends that I would do anything for, and they’d do the same for me, that movie gave me the confidence to do that. I love these two works of fiction with all my heart and they will stick with me long into adulthood
Like I seriously used to hate country's like Russia or china etc, then after watching aot, I realised that the truth is in a conflict both sides are somewhat brainwashed to hate each other.
"a place further than universe" is one of the best originals anime masterpiece. It cannot be replaced and will age like a fine wine. Watching "Yuru camp" after watching this really helps to destress myself and get a relaxing feeling.
@@Pepechan4561 yup. I myself stumbled upon it by chance. There are so many mid animes that get underserved hype but really good ones like this gets unnoticed.
There was a story in the news recently that a man was being robbed at gunpoint. A bystander didn't just film it on his phone. He put a stop to it. When the police talked to the guy that stopped it, he said he did it because his hero himmel the hero (frieren) would have done it. Then he just walked away. Anime is changing the world right now. More than anything else.
i watched it and noticed this and have quoted it many times, and it changed my perspective entirely there are a lot of hidden meanings in re zero and emilia is the only waifu I could have without cringing to death
1) Blue period..the fine line between talent and hardwork. 2) pompo the cinephile ~ Choose one choice , cut out the rest. 3) children of the sea ~ we are the universe , the sky and the sea. 4) haikyuu, free ~ let the passion burn so deep that the flame never gets extinguished I'll keep adding as i remember..
I love it, the anime and the lofi OST is so vibey. Inspired by it, I started going out in the night. But it is not safe, I mostly see drunks, police, shabby people. It is not as colorful as it looks in the anime. But still being out free in the night is mystical.
Re:life was one that changed my perspective on a lot, seeing how if you got another chance at life would you do things differently and would it matter more? While you decide do you just go back to life and take what you learned or will you just live in a fantasy for however long you can Fruits basket taught me how some unresolved trauma can actually draw you to people for the wrong reasons, and if you don’t realize it you will actually hurt the person and confuse yourself and believe it’s love of a romantic aspect but it’s actually more of a maternal and personal love Jellyfish can’t swim at night- this mofo really just had me realize that you can’t expect to be led and have a life that’s fulfilling at the same time, and you have to learn how to adapt and also lead and accept yourself as is because other already do, and those are real friends, but some accept the character you give them but miss out and you also miss out as well. These 3 really unique and I still have in mind
A silent voice Suzume Your name Ouran high school host club The tunnel to summer, the exit of goodbyes My little monster & Horimiya Are the anime that just changed me and how I see life :o
Domestic Girlfriend has made me learn to play the piano, because the opening theme was so emotional. In late December I was stuck at an airport and it was late at night, I found a piano and decided to practice a little. I was playing the opening theme from Domestic Girlfriend when a security girl came up to me and instead of asking me to leave she just listened. Then we talked. Two months ago she came over and stayed. My whole life is different now. Plus we got a cat. So yeah, anime can get you a cat.
@@TheEliteMan723I’d recommend Sasuga’s newest manga, *"Can I Live With You?"* It’s still in the early stages, but it’s already showing a lot of promise!
That scene when she starts crying, letting it all out while rest of the girls are crying silently outside by the door... I couldn't hold my tears. Very few anime can hit that hard
If I ever need an ugly cry, that scene and the ending scene in A Silent Voice are my go-to's. They hit so hard, every time. Back in the day, AnoHana's ending used to destroy me (probably still would tbh, Secret Base has conditioned me to cry lol). The lateral shot scene in Wolf Children still gets me, too.
@@MaxDamage-bh2os I enjoyed it enough to watch it a few times, which probably puts it in my top 10 or so. It kind of feels like a slice of life at first, just carried by the charm of the characters. It's one of those "I swear, it gets good" because the main drive of the plot doesn't kick in until literally about halfway through the series. Also, fantastic english dub if you're into that.
A lot of animes made me cry, think about life, and watch countless video essays. But the one anime that changed my life was A Silent Voice. A SIlent Voice taught me to have empathy, and that anybody can change. To be kind to even the ones that hurt you. The topics that this movie goes over is something that every young adult should know about.
Edgerunners taught me that even if none of it works out, people will remember the sacrifices you made for them. March Comes in like a Lion taught me it's ok to get help and being helped by others is often the foundation of friendship.
Hey man, thank you for giving this anime a chance and falling in love with it. Couldn't be happier to see the thumbnail. I have many favourite animes like Violet Evergarden, Your Lie in April, A Silent Voice, Your Name, Frieren, etc., all of which spoke to my soul. But to me, A Place Further than the Universe will always be on my number 1 spot. It had a profound impact on me back when I first watched it when it aired. Changed my whole outlook on life to be perfectly honest. A story about youth, freedom, living life to your fullest and on your own terms, connection, and the importance of emotional closure, all depicted within each of the main cast. I've tried many times to get my friends to watch this show too but to no avail, with most dropping it early supposedly because of moe/cutesy elements and a slow start. I'm just thrilled to see more people appreciate the show for what it is, a heartfelt love letter to youths and adults to get started on that one thing they've always had at the back of their minds and to enjoy the process. We cannot control what happens as a consequence of starting the thing, but we can and should always live in the moment because those moments, no matter how small, will be the ones we look back on in life and be glad that we did/experienced it. Hope to see more sora yori fans, all 13 of us 🤣
for me it's a bit surprising..... for me chainsaw man changed my life........... specifically the manga not only did it change how i viewed anime, it made me realise just how powerful letting go can be. I found myself to be crazy... i had shit going on in my mind that i couldn't even describe.... i felt hopeless and hollow the voices in my head were so loud they were leaking out. but after reading the chainsaw man manga i thought that maybe i don't need to know my problem in order to solve it.....maybe i should jus focus on what's in front of me...... my friends, my youth, my music.... maybe life isn't some grand mystery that you have to solve. maybe you don't need to throw you're life away so that you can get back on the world for how it fcked you over...maybe the best kind of revenge is the easy one.... every time you have fun, everytime you look around and see how beautiful everything is and everytime you look up at the clouds and smile.... it's a FCK YOU to the world for how it treated you but you're still standing.... and that...... is the greatest revenge.
I am a better person than I was before I started watching anime. It softened my heart in a way that allowed me to be kinder. This and prayer changed me in a fundamental way.
Took the words out of my mouth. A place further than the universe sits firmly as my favourite anime of all time, and I doubt any show will ever be able to dethrone it. I watched it at a time where I really needed to hear its message, and its motivational core has stuck with me ever since. Perhaps no one else will ever be able to understand but anime like this is what propels me forward and has helped shaped me into to the person I am proud of today.
Vinland saga really changed my outlook on life and taught me that we really have no enemies. we're all just lost souls trying to find our way in the dark. We're all just trying to protect ourselves.
If you haven't watched "Pompo the Cinephile" I highly suggest watching it. It's a movie thats 90 minutes long, its a little different from the norm, in the way that it shows you, rather than tells you. It's not the average follow your dreams trope either, its about what you do when you get to that point and how you go about doing it.
"The Dangers in my Heart" is a really good romance anime that did not only teach me romance. It taught me lots of things about self-development, relationships with other people, and dreams in life. I remember myself being an Ichikawa before and didn't have any direction in life. Watching this anime made me realize the life that I have today, to continue cherishing it and loving those who cares for me.
Bocchi the Rock and Girls Band Cry broke me and made me pick up my pieces Both main characters encapsulate almost exactly what I am going through emotionally. The unparalleled amount of social anxiety of Bocchi and almost the whole personality and behaviour of Nina resonated with me so much, it was uncanny. (Without even considering the fact that I am also a school dropout and a hobby musician to whom music means everything) The first episodes of both animes were enough to make me cry like a little baby. Especially of GBC Really makes me want to actually pursue my dream of becoming a pro musician, maybe even a part of a band, to create music that reaches people on a deep emotional level. To let others know that they are not alone and help them with their struggles. And of course, to POUR MY F-CKING HEART OUT! Because I sure as hell have stories to tell. I even started practicing keyboard which I bought months back. (I have only composed music, never played or performed) But I am still so full of doubts. I have that dream that I really want to fulfill, but I am still too afraid to pursue and fully commit to it because I am afraid that it will not work out in the end. It is kinda like, I would rather let my dreams remain dreams instead of shattering them by failing and realising that they are absolutely unreasonable. Even though it is impossible to know if I don't even try. I am so scared.
This show made me feel like i was fucking wasting my life, when i finished it i kept staring at that final text for at least 20 minutes and just looking back at everything that happened during the story, i fucking love it
man ive never had a youtube video resonate with me so much before, ive had so many great ideas ive started books, an indie movie a youtube channel a blog site but end up eventually quitting them all before they become to "real" because of fear. now im 30 married with children and my days pass by so fast from work and responsibilities i doubt ill ever have that chance again
6 Years ago Gigguk made a very similar video about the same anime, this video is inspired by it no doubt, but it's awesome to see that such a show can continue to reach out to newer audiences and inspire those people. Back when I first watched this anime in 2018 it gave me a similar feeling.
I am 25, I feel like I wated the last 10 years of my life. I blame it on difficult life and abusive family. But deep down I know it's my fault. That they're all just excuses that I didn't do all the things I wanted to do. Now I feel empty everything feels too late to do
Fantasy anime and stories like Your Name show us that love, courage, and real connections can overcome any distance. They remind us that life’s an adventure shaped by the people we meet and the choices we make. Through amazing worlds and unforgettable moments, these stories encourage us to hold onto what matters, believe in fate, and learn from every challenge along the way.
Blue period hits so so hard especially that one scene (spoilers plz do not read if u have not seen it) [also , i had to search for the name of the protag since i had seen it quite a long time back nd that's how impactful that scene was anyway] when yatora was frustrated and burnt out with himself and others yet still he kept drawing. He kept drawing through his rage , his pain, his tears and the result was the best art he had createdin a long time. Did everything became ok after that ? NO yet he kept going , he kept pushing through and at the end , he won. THAT'S so motivating ....so for anyone who is feeling burnt out , tired , or even if u are just procrastinating, go watch blue period , trust me ,it will help . It helped me :) .
I used to call these anime "filmish", because they have this kick that when you're watching them you feel like watching an anime movie, like A Silent Voice or Your Name
Sound Euphonium, and specifically its main character Kumiko Oumae has connected with me on a level far, FAR deeper than anything before and after it. It literally is just my life if I was turned into a cute anime girl. The most relatable experience I've ever went through, and my personal favorite story of all time - and I don't think that will change any time soon, if even ever. As for another one that affected me very greatly, the manga "The Summer You Were There" is the most emotional I have ever gotten when reading, and it is one that I will always wholeheartedly recommend everyone to check out once
I find it amazing that this popped up to me right now. I just rewatched Re:Zero in anticipation of the third season and to say it has stopped and made me rethink everything is an understatement. I last watched it when season 2 was finishing up, around freshman year in high school for me. It impacted me then in profound ways that I didn’t really understand and still don’t to this day. But in rewatching it I had found myself utterly distraught and filled with a sense of powerlessness. I realized that I have been letting life pass me by, and that I’m not living as the person that I really am. Truthfully, it made me realize that I have no idea what I want in life, the things that I’m doing right now aren’t making me feel satisfied, and I have no idea why I feel the things that I do because I too often write them off. Re:Zero’s overarching themes conveyed through its incredible cast of characters ended up sucker punching me in the heart. I have it to thank for telling me to wake up. (Also Rem should end up with Subaru :P)
Inspirational video. I recommend to watch Angolmois, Space Brothers, Kotaro Lives Alone and Firefighter Daigo. 1st is about war, based on real war in Tsushima, Japan when Mongol colonized this island. Lesson from this: in war, there are so many loss than profit. So many innocent lives loss their life, the negativity of slavery and greed. 2nd is about 2 persons, siblings, achieve their dream to become astronaut, one is succesful but another one is struggling. Also haters is always there no matter the person. 3rd is about lonely child whose parents is divorced and lives in small apartment alone. Good thing is there are such a nice neighbors he got. Every child deserves parents but not every parents deserve a child. 4. As the title suggest, firefighter, saves people lives, never give up, never being pessimistic, always give 100%.
Lifes are very fragile and whimsical entities. Changing them is way easier than people assumes. That's the real reason why most of us live in constant anxiety mode. A movie can change it, some bad (or good) weather in the right moment, a book, a dinner, a smile, a song, a word. Mononoke Hime lives at my core along Alien, Inside Out and Fight Club, along a bunch of other animations, movies, books and comics. Frieren is just the last addition.
dude wtf, I really wanted to watch this video but you sold the anime way too well in the first 2 minutes now I gotta go watch it first. Kudos this is such a well made video so far and just has the perfect "vibe", ya know?
Anime inspired me to become a musician. I became a pianist, a drummer and a very good guitarist because of Bocchi the rock and I am now very interested in music. Im playing the piano for 2 years now and the guitar for 1 year hahaha. I'm even considering starting acting because of anime.
There were several Animes that influenced my life. The first must've been Gunbuster (the first "season"). The 10.000 years later just crushed me and my perspective on life and on my perception of space. The next must've been Hoshi no koe. The idea that the whole thing was done by one person and looking this good with this heartbreaking story (a bit like the ending of Gunbuster) is just mindblowing to me. 5cm per second pushed this further on cherishing what I have in my life. Because if anything in life just went a little bit in another way, your whole life can change. I guess I could go on...but those are the ones that really stuck in my head.
i can't surely tell that anime actually taught me something, but it changed me, maybe a lot bocchi the rock, for example, introduced me in J-rock at the moment i was stagnant in my guitar playing and songwriting skill, so kessoku band's music was a true fresh breath actually...... the whole new level that changed my skill, style and thinking completely btw for these 7 or something months that i watch anime i started to realize that im just..... changing(?) maybe that will be a bit ego-ish or something, but i havent laughed out loud for a great time, it felt like a never ending apathy or depression idk i was happy at different moments, but felt that something is off but after watching anime i started laughing, these depressive thoughts almost completely gone i was recognizing myself in different characters and felt that i am not alone, somebody else share my feelings too sooo... thanks to anime, manga, novels for directing me in a different path! and thank you, Waifu Bait for making me think about how i changed for a time p.s sry for bad english, that's not my primary language greetings from russia
It may sound crazy but K-on changed me... K-on made me realise that I am not living in the moment but in a fear that "that moment" wont ever come, while it is actually happening. Also last few episodes of K-on really broke me bcs graduation has always been one of my biggest fears next to being left alone by everybody and K-on kinda helped me tame that fear a little bit by showing me that people who actually care will be here even if we dont go to the same school..there is much more to it but those are some of more notable things. I cannot express how happy i am to say that K-on is my favourite anime and i really love it...
considering how so many fandoms can behave, i wish this applied to more people and fans would absorb what some of these fine pieces of media are trying to tell them
Anime has truly helped me pretend, I started watching since I was younger in grade 4 or so and back then I was watching all sorts of stuff like Monster, GC, Beserk, Anohana and other more psycological things. I then realised I wasn't the best person I was and started to improve myself and got motivation and more thoughts from anime, as then I wasn't surrounded by my parents much until grade 9 as they were occupied in European doing business. By saying its helped me pretend means that I am able to change between different places, people and be able to blend in even if it isnt myself. Although people may say its a bad habit, it's what gets you ahead in life and I learnt that the longer I've lived and the more people I've met and most of this wouldn't have happend if I didn't watch anime at that age
Dont conceal who you really are. Dont let your inner child starve. Dont take life so seriously. Dont give up when it gets tough. Dont underestimate the value of hard work. Anime has taught me many things that noone else couldve conveyed in the same meaningful way. And even when you feel alone, know that you arent.
It's been quite a while since I've seen it, but Barakamon comes to mind, the one with the calligrapher. It's hard to describe, but I really felt I could relate to the main character. He's a professional, he's ambitious, then gets humbled and moves out to the country and learns a lot about himself in the process. The end is touching where his piece doesn't rate as well as he'd hoped, but he chose his own path, and it was something original and meaningful to him, and he was happy with that. So I guess learning humility and being true to yourself despite what others expect.
Anime as a whole changed my life. It introduced me to a bigger community and allowed to meet so many amazing people! Anime showed me so many stories, that broke my heart but also made me so happy, it showed me different characters and I was rooting for them, but also cried with them so many times. What exactly each anime that I watched taught me? I don't know, but surely something changed inside me. One thing I remember though... "Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone." - Puella Magi Madoka Magica
its allmost 1am and i feel sad and confused about not knowing what i want to do to change the cycle of my life and this kind of video always reminds me that it might take time but i will get there at some point so thank you kind youtuber for saving me from deep diving into depression monday❤
Oregairu definitely changed me when I was still in my first year of highschool. It taught me how to see things in different perspective, read others not only at the surface but always think what's the underlying motives cause them to react that way. I could talk a lot about it, simply masterpiece especially if you read the light novel.
"Grave of the Fireflies" My mother was a teenage nurse during the napalm fire-bombing of Tokyo. She never really talked about it, but this anime gave me a small window of what she went thru during that time in her life. She saw allot of death and destruction. I can understand why she doesn't talk about it better.
Inazuma Eleven taught me the importante of having friends by my side. Dragon ball taught me to never stop evolving myself and Blue Lock told me that my ego sometimes isn't an enemy.
9 years ago I watched my first anime Cowboy Bebop...I was hooked. There are some great ones that hit me hard like Made in Abyss, Steins Gate and lately Frieren. But CB made me realize that no matter how hard you try sometimes it just doesn't work out and life isn't always fair. I also learned that trying to do the right thing is the most important part and that failure is just part of life. Sometimes the wind blows your way, sometimes it doesn't. My grandfather said to me when I finished university "Drink beer and have fun, before you know it life is done." I really liked what he said even though it's comical and oversimplified....but it's very true and you have to carry that weight sometimes....Btw great vid dude.
Aside from this show, One anime that changed my life is Frieren. I read the manga since ch 1 release back in 2020. It's when Serie ask Frieren why she didnt want to be granted with her magic. She just replied "The Pursuit of Magic itself is the Greatest Joy." I believe that no matter how hard my study or work is, along the way, i will find enjoyment on those hardships regardless of the result. And the second one is Violet Evergarden, especially from the OST The Love That Bind Us that played on special episode of aria songtress. To be honest, i'm still single since born, even with countless romance anime/manga i consume, i still didn't understand properly what Love is, since i've never experienced it first hand. But when the moment Violet read the abandoned letter on military warehouse, something click in my heart, I learn what Love is just like Violet learn about it.
I'm working on a very similar video to this in regards to Re Zero, that being said, what I have produced so far would never even come close to illiciting the same emotion as your video has here. I related to Subaru, both his good qualities, and his overwhelmingly bad ones. Even having a similar perception of myself that I have a huge scar in my arm to signify for the rest of my life. I hated myself. At times, I still do. A point you brought up about the power of friendship as it's normally called, about how real it can be, in realistic settings is one of the reasons I continue to exist. My youtube career may never take off, I may never accomplish my dreams, but if I meet one person through this that needed someone such as I did, and I can be that someone for them, it will all be worth it. I still put videos off till last minute, procrastinate, be depressed, unmotivated, but man I'd be lying if I said anime hasn't helped me out of those funks on more than one occasion.
Haikyuu taught me that the small things and habits you develop are important to driving yourself towards success. Loss in sports and in other parts of life is natural and I changed my mindset from “never lose” to the amazing panel of “what will you be tomorrow?”. Haikyuu changed my life (it also made me start playing volleyball 🎉)
The ending of this video gave me goosebumps. That's how special A Place Further Than the Universe is to me. I watched it back in 2019, after seeing Gigguk's video 'The Anime that Inspired Me'. I watched just the beginning of that video, and decided to watch episode 1. Man, what a masterpiece. I watched the remaining episodes with few breaks between. I ended the show crying so hard, but tears of happiness and gratitude for what I learned with this. And ironically, I received a phone call two days after ending the show. An invitation to another country, a trip. I immediately said "yes!" of course. All of this to say that "A Place Further Than the Universe" changed my life and taught me how to be brave in these little moments that will definitely change our lives for better. Thanks for reminding me again of how beautiful this show is.
i just watched Nana and it really got me thinking about life in general, specially when Nana says that sometimes even when we want to go against the current we have to go with it. Idk why but this one line really got me
You have excellent taste, Sir! One of my all time favorites, and the best of that year. This one hits hard, be prepared if you're watching for the first time. Now I'm gonna have to go back and watch it again...
can i add Dead Dead Demon Dededede Destruction was absolutely life changing for me and just made me think of so many things about my own life. Some things Ontan says may be silly but goddamn, if you really think about it, sometimes we don't have answers to them.
Gosh darn it. I could only watch half of this video before I had to get up and do something to help my dream along. Ill be back tomorrow to finish it. >:(
Fruits basket taught me to put yourself first sometimes and don't be afraid to be selfish. Clannad AF taught me about family. Monogatari taught me about self acceptance.
Frieren taught me that time is a perspective, time well spent or poorly spent is subjective. if the time you spent doing something felt worthwhile then its well spent. thematically its true for the show but also every episode felt wayyyy longer than its actual runtime, felt like i spent an hour every episode watching. it also reminded me that little things matter because that's what you'll remember so don't take them for granted, take a moment to laugh at yourself. self laughter can never leave a scar.
Vinland saga taught me that forgiveness is always an option and that no one really has enemies were all just people
I like to call it "users" xD
i have no enemies
watching it right now
That’s what I was thinking but having no enemies Dosent mean letting people attack you physically or hurt you.

I feel like most anime I've watched have impacted my way of living even in the slightest. It's either small habits, phrases or how I take in different media. Awsome video btw! U NEED MOR RECOGNITION MY MAN!!!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@WaifuBaityou deserve WAY MORE RECOGNITION❤
Yea i think the most impactful anime to me was probably a silent voice and haikyuu
Anime gave me the courage to acknowledge my emotions and express it without being embarrassed. I realised it's not cringe or embarrassing to be able to talk about my emotions.
I totally feel the same way.
For me it was Your Lie in April. As a musician myself it hit so. freaking. hard. My youngest son is a special needs child and we were told that he wouldn't last eight days after he was born. He's still alive and VERY kicking and he's 19 now. So the spectre of oncoming death but tying that to a musical soul REALLY connected with me. Just... A classic.
Attack on Titan and A Silent Voice changed me and affected how I am today. AOT taught me to search for the grey in conflicts, that almost nothing is black and white, and how far ambitions and ideologies can take you, how they can corrupt and evil things can come from good intentions; it was a deep story about the human condition and it will never leave my mind. A Silent Voice helped my through some tough times, when I first watched it I was so so much like the main character, and it made me realize that I am never alone and that I can move past the pain in my life. Half a year after I watched it I was able to make friends that I would do anything for, and they’d do the same for me, that movie gave me the confidence to do that. I love these two works of fiction with all my heart and they will stick with me long into adulthood
Like I seriously used to hate country's like Russia or china etc, then after watching aot, I realised that the truth is in a conflict both sides are somewhat brainwashed to hate each other.
i cried for 4 hours when i watched Silent Voice, i was 15 back then in covid when loneliness hit me so hard i was thinking of ending my life.

@@Pepechan4561 yup. I myself stumbled upon it by chance. There are so many mid animes that get underserved hype but really good ones like this gets unnoticed.
It's incredible to me how Violet Evergarden, Yuru Camp and this aired all in the same season.
Winter 2018 was a great moment in my life.
There was a story in the news recently that a man was being robbed at gunpoint. A bystander didn't just film it on his phone. He put a stop to it. When the police talked to the guy that stopped it, he said he did it because his hero himmel the hero (frieren) would have done it. Then he just walked away. Anime is changing the world right now. More than anything else.

I love it, the anime and the lofi OST is so vibey. Inspired by it, I started going out in the night. But it is not safe, I mostly see drunks, police, shabby people. It is not as colorful as it looks in the anime. But still being out free in the night is mystical.
i watched entire series on my phone at 4 a.m, two episodes everynight, it was indeed special
Re:life was one that changed my perspective on a lot, seeing how if you got another chance at life would you do things differently and would it matter more? While you decide do you just go back to life and take what you learned or will you just live in a fantasy for however long you can
Fruits basket taught me how some unresolved trauma can actually draw you to people for the wrong reasons, and if you don’t realize it you will actually hurt the person and confuse yourself and believe it’s love of a romantic aspect but it’s actually more of a maternal and personal love
Jellyfish can’t swim at night- this mofo really just had me realize that you can’t expect to be led and have a life that’s fulfilling at the same time, and you have to learn how to adapt and also lead and accept yourself as is because other already do, and those are real friends, but some accept the character you give them but miss out and you also miss out as well.
These 3 really unique and I still have in mind

Are the anime that just changed me and how I see life :o
Domestic Girlfriend has made me learn to play the piano, because the opening theme was so emotional. In late December I was stuck at an airport and it was late at night, I found a piano and decided to practice a little. I was playing the opening theme from Domestic Girlfriend when a security girl came up to me and instead of asking me to leave she just listened. Then we talked. Two months ago she came over and stayed. My whole life is different now. Plus we got a cat. So yeah, anime can get you a cat.
Same bro domestic girlfriend is Amazing
Domestic Girlfriend indeed! What masterful piece of a manga.
@@magua73 yeah man manga is amazing
I want something like domestic girlfriend tbh
That feeling yk do you have any recommendations?
@@TheEliteMan723I’d recommend Sasuga’s newest manga, *"Can I Live With You?"* It’s still in the early stages, but it’s already showing a lot of promise!
@@magua73 will check it out man thanks
That scene when she starts crying, letting it all out while rest of the girls are crying silently outside by the door... I couldn't hold my tears. Very few anime can hit that hard
If I ever need an ugly cry, that scene and the ending scene in A Silent Voice are my go-to's. They hit so hard, every time. Back in the day, AnoHana's ending used to destroy me (probably still would tbh, Secret Base has conditioned me to cry lol). The lateral shot scene in Wolf Children still gets me, too.
Any Anime that remains in your memory has changed you forever.
I have seen so many marks from anime that mabed me who i am today.
Mob psycho taught me about the value of humility
For me it was Steins;Gate, it showed me a different way of thinking and helped me to move on after some hard times
I tried to watch it, but it`s absolutely meaningless.
Why?????
@@MaxDamage-bh2os I enjoyed it enough to watch it a few times, which probably puts it in my top 10 or so. It kind of feels like a slice of life at first, just carried by the charm of the characters. It's one of those "I swear, it gets good" because the main drive of the plot doesn't kick in until literally about halfway through the series. Also, fantastic english dub if you're into that.
@@MaxDamage-bh2os just watch to ep 12 or 13, its goated. top 2 anime for sure
@@alexm9078 goated? wtf?
@@MaxDamage-bh2os Greatest Of All Time, or goated
Assassination classroom changed my life now I focus on what I do.
It's also my favorite anime
A lot of animes made me cry, think about life, and watch countless video essays. But the one anime that changed my life was A Silent Voice.
A SIlent Voice taught me to have empathy, and that anybody can change. To be kind to even the ones that hurt you. The topics that this movie goes over is something that every young adult should know about.
Edgerunners taught me that even if none of it works out, people will remember the sacrifices you made for them.
March Comes in like a Lion taught me it's ok to get help and being helped by others is often the foundation of friendship.
explaining all the concepts of anime and how life changing it is, this is perfect
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!
Hey man, thank you for giving this anime a chance and falling in love with it. Couldn't be happier to see the thumbnail. I have many favourite animes like Violet Evergarden, Your Lie in April, A Silent Voice, Your Name, Frieren, etc., all of which spoke to my soul. But to me, A Place Further than the Universe will always be on my number 1 spot. It had a profound impact on me back when I first watched it when it aired. Changed my whole outlook on life to be perfectly honest.
A story about youth, freedom, living life to your fullest and on your own terms, connection, and the importance of emotional closure, all depicted within each of the main cast. I've tried many times to get my friends to watch this show too but to no avail, with most dropping it early supposedly because of moe/cutesy elements and a slow start. I'm just thrilled to see more people appreciate the show for what it is, a heartfelt love letter to youths and adults to get started on that one thing they've always had at the back of their minds and to enjoy the process. We cannot control what happens as a consequence of starting the thing, but we can and should always live in the moment because those moments, no matter how small, will be the ones we look back on in life and be glad that we did/experienced it.
Hope to see more sora yori fans, all 13 of us 🤣
This guy is heat you need more viewers brah
so real
for me it's a bit surprising..... for me chainsaw man changed my life........... specifically the manga not only did it change how i viewed anime, it made me realise just how powerful letting go can be. I found myself to be crazy... i had shit going on in my mind that i couldn't even describe.... i felt hopeless and hollow the voices in my head were so loud they were leaking out. but after reading the chainsaw man manga i thought that maybe i don't need to know my problem in order to solve it.....maybe i should jus focus on what's in front of me...... my friends, my youth, my music.... maybe life isn't some grand mystery that you have to solve. maybe you don't need to throw you're life away so that you can get back on the world for how it fcked you over...maybe the best kind of revenge is the easy one.... every time you have fun, everytime you look around and see how beautiful everything is and everytime you look up at the clouds and smile.... it's a FCK YOU to the world for how it treated you but you're still standing.... and that...... is the greatest revenge.
6 years later I still cry every time I hear "Haru ka Tooku" (the song ad the end of the video). What a beautiful anime.
SAME!!!!!
I am a better person than I was before I started watching anime. It softened my heart in a way that allowed me to be kinder. This and prayer changed me in a fundamental way.
Episode 12 is still one of the most cathartic moments you can experience
Took the words out of my mouth. A place further than the universe sits firmly as my favourite anime of all time, and I doubt any show will ever be able to dethrone it. I watched it at a time where I really needed to hear its message, and its motivational core has stuck with me ever since. Perhaps no one else will ever be able to understand but anime like this is what propels me forward and has helped shaped me into to the person I am proud of today.
Vinland saga really changed my outlook on life and taught me that we really have no enemies. we're all just lost souls trying to find our way in the dark. We're all just trying to protect ourselves.
Grave of the fireflies
If you haven't watched "Pompo the Cinephile" I highly suggest watching it. It's a movie thats 90 minutes long, its a little different from the norm, in the way that it shows you, rather than tells you. It's not the average follow your dreams trope either, its about what you do when you get to that point and how you go about doing it.
"The Dangers in my Heart" is a really good romance anime that did not only teach me romance. It taught me lots of things about self-development, relationships with other people, and dreams in life. I remember myself being an Ichikawa before and didn't have any direction in life. Watching this anime made me realize the life that I have today, to continue cherishing it and loving those who cares for me.
Bocchi the Rock and Girls Band Cry broke me and made me pick up my pieces
Both main characters encapsulate almost exactly what I am going through emotionally. The unparalleled amount of social anxiety of Bocchi and almost the whole personality and behaviour of Nina resonated with me so much, it was uncanny. (Without even considering the fact that I am also a school dropout and a hobby musician to whom music means everything)
The first episodes of both animes were enough to make me cry like a little baby.
Especially of GBC
Really makes me want to actually pursue my dream of becoming a pro musician, maybe even a part of a band, to create music that reaches people on a deep emotional level. To let others know that they are not alone and help them with their struggles. And of course, to POUR MY F-CKING HEART OUT!
Because I sure as hell have stories to tell.
I even started practicing keyboard which I bought months back. (I have only composed music, never played or performed)
But I am still so full of doubts. I have that dream that I really want to fulfill, but I am still too afraid to pursue and fully commit to it because I am afraid that it will not work out in the end.
It is kinda like, I would rather let my dreams remain dreams instead of shattering them by failing and realising that they are absolutely unreasonable. Even though it is impossible to know if I don't even try.
I am so scared.
Ain't no way you made me go through the list of 397 seasons i watched...
Such a nostalgic trip, 13 years of anime, maaan i wanna go back.
Anime doesn't change you its your connection to it that changes you
This show made me feel like i was fucking wasting my life, when i finished it i kept staring at that final text for at least 20 minutes and just looking back at everything that happened during the story, i fucking love it
man ive never had a youtube video resonate with me so much before, ive had so many great ideas ive started books, an indie movie a youtube channel a blog site but end up eventually quitting them all before they become to "real" because of fear. now im 30 married with children and my days pass by so fast from work and responsibilities i doubt ill ever have that chance again
6 Years ago Gigguk made a very similar video about the same anime, this video is inspired by it no doubt, but it's awesome to see that such a show can continue to reach out to newer audiences and inspire those people. Back when I first watched this anime in 2018 it gave me a similar feeling.
I am 25, I feel like I wated the last 10 years of my life. I blame it on difficult life and abusive family. But deep down I know it's my fault. That they're all just excuses that I didn't do all the things I wanted to do. Now I feel empty everything feels too late to do
For me it's a place further than the world and your lie in April
Fantasy anime and stories like Your Name show us that love, courage, and real connections can overcome any distance. They remind us that life’s an adventure shaped by the people we meet and the choices we make. Through amazing worlds and unforgettable moments, these stories encourage us to hold onto what matters, believe in fate, and learn from every challenge along the way.
Hope you don't stop making content like this. It can really change someone. Thank you
Blue period hits so so hard especially that one scene (spoilers plz do not read if u have not seen it) [also , i had to search for the name of the protag since i had seen it quite a long time back nd that's how impactful that scene was anyway] when yatora was frustrated and burnt out with himself and others yet still he kept drawing. He kept drawing through his rage , his pain, his tears and the result was the best art he had createdin a long time. Did everything became ok after that ? NO yet he kept going , he kept pushing through and at the end , he won. THAT'S so motivating ....so for anyone who is feeling burnt out , tired , or even if u are just procrastinating, go watch blue period , trust me ,it will help . It helped me :) .
A silent voice 0:17 is one of those animes❤
A silent voice
Mine is oregarui lowkey changed my whole personality
Love this anime, truly inspiring. Great vid, keep doing something like this.
thanks for the support!!!!
I used to call these anime "filmish", because they have this kick that when you're watching them you feel like watching an anime movie, like A Silent Voice or Your Name
code geass essentially helped me justify my way of thinking :D so thats great
Pompo the cinephile was the last anime that changed me to the point I could feel my emotions again
Sound Euphonium, and specifically its main character Kumiko Oumae has connected with me on a level far, FAR deeper than anything before and after it. It literally is just my life if I was turned into a cute anime girl. The most relatable experience I've ever went through, and my personal favorite story of all time - and I don't think that will change any time soon, if even ever.
As for another one that affected me very greatly, the manga "The Summer You Were There" is the most emotional I have ever gotten when reading, and it is one that I will always wholeheartedly recommend everyone to check out once
First second
"Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming"
I find it amazing that this popped up to me right now. I just rewatched Re:Zero in anticipation of the third season and to say it has stopped and made me rethink everything is an understatement. I last watched it when season 2 was finishing up, around freshman year in high school for me. It impacted me then in profound ways that I didn’t really understand and still don’t to this day. But in rewatching it I had found myself utterly distraught and filled with a sense of powerlessness. I realized that I have been letting life pass me by, and that I’m not living as the person that I really am. Truthfully, it made me realize that I have no idea what I want in life, the things that I’m doing right now aren’t making me feel satisfied, and I have no idea why I feel the things that I do because I too often write them off. Re:Zero’s overarching themes conveyed through its incredible cast of characters ended up sucker punching me in the heart. I have it to thank for telling me to wake up.
(Also Rem should end up with Subaru :P)
Monogatari series taught me that only i can help myself truly
Inspirational video.
I recommend to watch Angolmois, Space Brothers, Kotaro Lives Alone and Firefighter Daigo.
1st is about war, based on real war in Tsushima, Japan when Mongol colonized this island. Lesson from this: in war, there are so many loss than profit. So many innocent lives loss their life, the negativity of slavery and greed.
2nd is about 2 persons, siblings, achieve their dream to become astronaut, one is succesful but another one is struggling. Also haters is always there no matter the person.
3rd is about lonely child whose parents is divorced and lives in small apartment alone. Good thing is there are such a nice neighbors he got. Every child deserves parents but not every parents deserve a child.
4. As the title suggest, firefighter, saves people lives, never give up, never being pessimistic, always give 100%.
Lifes are very fragile and whimsical entities. Changing them is way easier than people assumes. That's the real reason why most of us live in constant anxiety mode. A movie can change it, some bad (or good) weather in the right moment, a book, a dinner, a smile, a song, a word.
Mononoke Hime lives at my core along Alien, Inside Out and Fight Club, along a bunch of other animations, movies, books and comics. Frieren is just the last addition.
Deathnote changed me in ways i didnt expect
dude wtf, I really wanted to watch this video but you sold the anime way too well in the first 2 minutes now I gotta go watch it first. Kudos this is such a well made video so far and just has the perfect "vibe", ya know?
VIBES
Clannad After Story changed my life. It was a true depiction of what life is and how hard it can be. Such a powerful anime!
The opening monologue is only true depends on what anime your watching. And it depends on what you would replace the time watching anime with
Excellent!
Yes. This series is an inspiring, emotional, hidden gem full of ear and eye candy.
Thank you for doing this.
even the video hit hard
One Piece helped me a lot whenever I feel down in my life and Luffy and crew is always there to tell me how precious our dreams are in life
Anime inspired me to become a musician. I became a pianist, a drummer and a very good guitarist because of Bocchi the rock and I am now very interested in music. Im playing the piano for 2 years now and the guitar for 1 year hahaha. I'm even considering starting acting because of anime.
Did you watch ”your lie in april”?
Did you watch your lie in april and then decided to become pianist?
@@McDuggets yes
acting because of Oshi no ko?
You need to also watch "Carol & Tuesday," "Sound Euphonuim!," and perhaps "K-ON!" as well.
I think Sanji from One Piece taught me how to accept myself at least a little better than I could before
you deserve WAY MORE RECOGNITION❤
thanks man!!!!
There were several Animes that influenced my life. The first must've been Gunbuster (the first "season"). The 10.000 years later just crushed me and my perspective on life and on my perception of space. The next must've been Hoshi no koe. The idea that the whole thing was done by one person and looking this good with this heartbreaking story (a bit like the ending of Gunbuster) is just mindblowing to me. 5cm per second pushed this further on cherishing what I have in my life. Because if anything in life just went a little bit in another way, your whole life can change. I guess I could go on...but those are the ones that really stuck in my head.
I relate with a game just like this.
'Sky: The children of light.'
For me, it was "5 Centimeter per second" which taught me that nobody is exact and we have to accept changes and have to keep moving forward.
i can't surely tell that anime actually taught me something, but it changed me, maybe a lot
bocchi the rock, for example, introduced me in J-rock
at the moment i was stagnant in my guitar playing and songwriting skill, so kessoku band's music was a true fresh breath
actually...... the whole new level
that changed my skill, style and thinking completely
btw for these 7 or something months that i watch anime i started to realize that im just.....
changing(?)
maybe that will be a bit ego-ish or something, but i havent laughed out loud for a great time, it felt like a never ending apathy or depression idk
i was happy at different moments, but felt that something is off
but after watching anime i started laughing, these depressive thoughts almost completely gone
i was recognizing myself in different characters and felt that i am not alone, somebody else share my feelings too
sooo...
thanks to anime, manga, novels for directing me in a different path!
and thank you, Waifu Bait
for making me think about how i changed for a time
p.s sry for bad english, that's not my primary language
greetings from russia
This anime is surely in my top 5 all time.
I will never forget this anime.
Good video man hoping you keep this up :)
I have terrible memory so I forget every life lesson an anime has right after watching it lol
I remember Koe no Katachi taught me that everyone can change and you need to be forgiving
It may sound crazy but K-on changed me... K-on made me realise that I am not living in the moment but in a fear that "that moment" wont ever come, while it is actually happening. Also last few episodes of K-on really broke me bcs graduation has always been one of my biggest fears next to being left alone by everybody and K-on kinda helped me tame that fear a little bit by showing me that people who actually care will be here even if we dont go to the same school..there is much more to it but those are some of more notable things. I cannot express how happy i am to say that K-on is my favourite anime and i really love it...
considering how so many fandoms can behave, i wish this applied to more people and fans would absorb what some of these fine pieces of media are trying to tell them
Anime has truly helped me pretend, I started watching since I was younger in grade 4 or so and back then I was watching all sorts of stuff like Monster, GC, Beserk, Anohana and other more psycological things. I then realised I wasn't the best person I was and started to improve myself and got motivation and more thoughts from anime, as then I wasn't surrounded by my parents much until grade 9 as they were occupied in European doing business. By saying its helped me pretend means that I am able to change between different places, people and be able to blend in even if it isnt myself. Although people may say its a bad habit, it's what gets you ahead in life and I learnt that the longer I've lived and the more people I've met and most of this wouldn't have happend if I didn't watch anime at that age
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on TH-cam
Dont conceal who you really are.
Dont let your inner child starve.
Dont take life so seriously.
Dont give up when it gets tough.
Dont underestimate the value of hard work.
Anime has taught me many things that noone else couldve conveyed in the same meaningful way.
And even when you feel alone, know that you arent.
It's been quite a while since I've seen it, but Barakamon comes to mind, the one with the calligrapher. It's hard to describe, but I really felt I could relate to the main character. He's a professional, he's ambitious, then gets humbled and moves out to the country and learns a lot about himself in the process. The end is touching where his piece doesn't rate as well as he'd hoped, but he chose his own path, and it was something original and meaningful to him, and he was happy with that. So I guess learning humility and being true to yourself despite what others expect.
Fullmetal alchemist changed my life
Anime as a whole changed my life. It introduced me to a bigger community and allowed to meet so many amazing people! Anime showed me so many stories, that broke my heart but also made me so happy, it showed me different characters and I was rooting for them, but also cried with them so many times. What exactly each anime that I watched taught me? I don't know, but surely something changed inside me. One thing I remember though... "Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone." - Puella Magi Madoka Magica
its allmost 1am and i feel sad and confused about not knowing what i want to do to change the cycle of my life
and this kind of video always reminds me that it might take time but i will get there at some point
so thank you kind youtuber for saving me from deep diving into depression monday❤
A place further than the universe changed my life when I was like 13 I got very inspired by the serie truly a masterpiece
Oregairu definitely changed me when I was still in my first year of highschool. It taught me how to see things in different perspective, read others not only at the surface but always think what's the underlying motives cause them to react that way.
I could talk a lot about it, simply masterpiece especially if you read the light novel.
"Grave of the Fireflies" My mother was a teenage nurse during the napalm fire-bombing of Tokyo. She never really talked about it, but this anime gave me a small window of what she went thru during that time in her life. She saw allot of death and destruction. I can understand why she doesn't talk about it better.
Thank you for the video, i gonna watch 'A Place Further Than the Universe' again
Inazuma Eleven taught me the importante of having friends by my side. Dragon ball taught me to never stop evolving myself and Blue Lock told me that my ego sometimes isn't an enemy.
9 years ago I watched my first anime Cowboy Bebop...I was hooked. There are some great ones that hit me hard like Made in Abyss, Steins Gate and lately Frieren. But CB made me realize that no matter how hard you try sometimes it just doesn't work out and life isn't always fair. I also learned that trying to do the right thing is the most important part and that failure is just part of life. Sometimes the wind blows your way, sometimes it doesn't. My grandfather said to me when I finished university "Drink beer and have fun, before you know it life is done." I really liked what he said even though it's comical and oversimplified....but it's very true and you have to carry that weight sometimes....Btw great vid dude.
Aside from this show, One anime that changed my life is Frieren. I read the manga since ch 1 release back in 2020. It's when Serie ask Frieren why she didnt want to be granted with her magic. She just replied "The Pursuit of Magic itself is the Greatest Joy." I believe that no matter how hard my study or work is, along the way, i will find enjoyment on those hardships regardless of the result.
And the second one is Violet Evergarden, especially from the OST The Love That Bind Us that played on special episode of aria songtress. To be honest, i'm still single since born, even with countless romance anime/manga i consume, i still didn't understand properly what Love is, since i've never experienced it first hand. But when the moment Violet read the abandoned letter on military warehouse, something click in my heart, I learn what Love is just like Violet learn about it.
I'm working on a very similar video to this in regards to Re Zero, that being said, what I have produced so far would never even come close to illiciting the same emotion as your video has here.
I related to Subaru, both his good qualities, and his overwhelmingly bad ones. Even having a similar perception of myself that I have a huge scar in my arm to signify for the rest of my life. I hated myself. At times, I still do.
A point you brought up about the power of friendship as it's normally called, about how real it can be, in realistic settings is one of the reasons I continue to exist. My youtube career may never take off, I may never accomplish my dreams, but if I meet one person through this that needed someone such as I did, and I can be that someone for them, it will all be worth it.
I still put videos off till last minute, procrastinate, be depressed, unmotivated, but man I'd be lying if I said anime hasn't helped me out of those funks on more than one occasion.
Haikyuu taught me that the small things and habits you develop are important to driving yourself towards success. Loss in sports and in other parts of life is natural and I changed my mindset from “never lose” to the amazing panel of “what will you be tomorrow?”. Haikyuu changed my life (it also made me start playing volleyball 🎉)
The ending of this video gave me goosebumps. That's how special A Place Further Than the Universe is to me. I watched it back in 2019, after seeing Gigguk's video 'The Anime that Inspired Me'. I watched just the beginning of that video, and decided to watch episode 1. Man, what a masterpiece. I watched the remaining episodes with few breaks between. I ended the show crying so hard, but tears of happiness and gratitude for what I learned with this. And ironically, I received a phone call two days after ending the show. An invitation to another country, a trip. I immediately said "yes!" of course. All of this to say that "A Place Further Than the Universe" changed my life and taught me how to be brave in these little moments that will definitely change our lives for better. Thanks for reminding me again of how beautiful this show is.
i thank the algorithm for bringing me your channel. your other videos also are super great
i just watched Nana and it really got me thinking about life in general, specially when Nana says that sometimes even when we want to go against the current we have to go with it. Idk why but this one line really got me
You have excellent taste, Sir! One of my all time favorites, and the best of that year. This one hits hard, be prepared if you're watching for the first time. Now I'm gonna have to go back and watch it again...
can i add Dead Dead Demon Dededede Destruction was absolutely life changing for me and just made me think of so many things about my own life. Some things Ontan says may be silly but goddamn, if you really think about it, sometimes we don't have answers to them.
Gosh darn it. I could only watch half of this video before I had to get up and do something to help my dream along. Ill be back tomorrow to finish it. >:(
"Anime can never change you." That's so dumb I have no words. Sounds like a fake complaint.
Fruits basket taught me to put yourself first sometimes and don't be afraid to be selfish. Clannad AF taught me about family. Monogatari taught me about self acceptance.
