The medium of anime has been one that has brought together fans for decades, whether it be through Shonen series such as Dragon Ball and One Piece or against the grain series such as Assassination Classroom or Fooly Cooly, and followers of these series recently had the opportunity to share their memories from their favorite shows and how they have been affected for life because of them. With more and more series being released on the regular, there will seemingly be a never ending supply of stories that fans can dive into that may in fact change their lives forever!

Sword Art Online And Its Human Connections
Kirito being stuck in Aincrad taught me the importance of human connections and how a virtual world aka social media is just as real as real life. Something a lot of people don’t think about. pic.twitter.com/SQP6qKAVF7

The Desire To Improve
Wanting to improve myself as a person and become like someone like Akari from Aria, and look at the world in a more optimistic way like she does. Plenty of other iyashikei anime also helped me realize it fine to slow thing down and enjoy the little things in life. pic.twitter.com/xBjDjoGewj
