Defining Anime

What anime would you consider to be influential to your life? Do try to avoid spoilers even if its a 10-20 year old show, can always SPOILER via > ! and i...

I would call it defining in the sense that it was the first anime that I watched from start to finish, having dabbled in various early animes but never stuck around, and made me interested in the media . Slayers was such a fun anime, with a great main character to boot. Lots of humor, and lots of serious moments when the show got very real, it left a strong impression on my then teenage mind. Also, we love Lina Inverse, our genius sorceress heroine, blowing up cities and mountainsides 20 years before Megumin made it cool!

The Full Metal Alchemist manga/Brotherhood. I've never quite been able to put my feelings about art into words, just a simple I liked it or IT WAS SHIT. FMA is for sure in the former camp for me. Bumbling through my mind, I think two of the things I liked the most was that pretty much every character had an impact on the brothers (even henchmen!) and that the world was represented at every level, from market streets to whole towns to cities to regions to whole nations! That kind of world building feels so... unique, so alive to me. That layering makes it my favorite fantasy world to date, even more than the really cool fantasy ones like the food based world of Toriko. Forever and ever, FMA will be number one in my heart

I guess Made in Abyss. Tsukushi is the greatest artist ever and the story and characters are pretty cool. I really like his style and I'm trying to replicate it while adding my own spin to make it look original while drawing. And that's the most impact anime made in my life.

I'm not very into anime honestly. I think I must have high standards for shows because if it doesn't look interesting I'm not gonna try watching (that said I watched and liked Naruto so uh...). I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but a lot of anime seem very formulaic to me. Maybe I'm just an ignorant gaijin

Might be the boring answer but given my username I feel like it's the essential one to give:

I think the subject has been talked to death at this point but the show really does understand what it's like to be a teenager better than anything else I've seen.
