I've never really thought about what anime is my favorite. A lot of times I point it to being something like Attack on Titan or erased, normie stuff like that, y'know, but now that I've sat down and thought about it, it would legit probably go to A Silent Voice, most likely due to the sentimental value it has. It came out around this time last year, and at that time I was moving from Colorado to Texas, so I had virtually zero friends, and the one or two I did have just sat near me at lunch because they felt bad for me. As with kids who have no friends, they are typically bullied a lot, which happened. I got shoved, tackled, hit, slapped, called names, the usual. Back then, being my usual edgy self didn't want to forgive them, I wanted to just sit and be alone, and have zero friends, and be known as that one kid who was so salty after being shoved he held a grudge against the world until he died. My only release from people was really just... people. I still was in contact with friends from Colorado, so one night, probably around 2 AM, I'm texting a friend, they start telling me about a bunch of anime, long story short watched some anime, boom. I watched like.... half of Attack on Titan, Your Name, (still overrated), I binge watched erased, but none of them really stuck with me, until they told me to watch A Silent Voice. At the time I watched it (around January-March I believe) I was still little edgy boy who thought he didn't need friends, and watching this made me realize: "Tf, I should forgive these people, I don't know what their life is like, maybe they've changed," stuff like that... which I'm sure isn't... quite the message from the movie, but shut up I'm having a sentimental moment. Long story short I actually gained human emotion and I realized that people change, and then here I am, not the little edgy boi I used to be. So overall, favorite anime is obviously Megamind, but the one that impacted my life the most was like... A Silent Voice probably... Or Your Name.... (for making me realize how overrated some things are)
