How has an anime or a manga changed your life for the better?

well, this isn't a perfect fit to the question but I have a few anime that change my point of view on some things in my life and on my behavior.

• chaos; child
• mob psycho
• beastars
• anohana; the flower we saw that day
• a slient voice
  -parasyte; the maxim

I'm dating my current bf because of anime! He had an abusmally cringe pfp and I wanted to bully him for it, which lead to longer conversations. He helped me get over a lot of things and is seemingly a lot nicer to my male friends compared to my previous one, who apparently had said and done mean things to them just so they would keep away from me.

And also it's easier to be vegetarian in my country these days partially thanks to asian things getting trendier and I'm sure anime is at least partly the reason for that

Because subtitles weren’t always available in my native language, I had to work on my English proficiency. Because I wanted to become more involved with the community, I eventually ended up learning the basics of graphic design and web development to host my own, which later on led to me pursuing a career, that heavily depends on all of the skills, I happened to pick up along the way.

Also, I guess, it made me more open to different ideas and cultural differences, which are dear to me and always fascinating to chat about.

I'm pretty much unable to deny, that it had and probably still has a huge influence on me.
Cheers!
