What is a movie/show you feel like everyone needs to watch / changed your life?

Personally, My Hero Academia has a special place in my heart.. def not one I think everyone should watch, but it’s not an overstatement to say it changed my life. I discovered it when I was an insecure middle schooler.. and seeing Deku still striving to be a hero after being put down by his literal hero.. his own mother.. it’s exactly what I needed to see at that point of my life.

i personally love AVENGERS: ENDGAME because i am in it havent you seen!? i have not seen my hero academia. they should change the name because i assume I AM NOT in it.
I loved Superman 2025 alot!! It gave me a new outlook on life and I genuinely cried like a baby when I was watching it for the first time 😭
I love the themes of kindness in that movie!
uh uh i gotta say ummm bungo stray dogs. at its core its a story about moving on and change and character arcs and morality. there are so many characters to explore and so many themes to resonate or challenge. its got its dark moments and its funny moments and its just ughhhh yum yum yum. genuinely changed my life.
I can't reply to ur reply for some reason but yeah!! I loved the line "maybe thats the real punk rock" Superman said in response to Lois saying that he thinks everyone he ever met is beautiful!!!! I loved the movie so damn much it never fails to make me happy whenever i watch it
Fullmetal Alchemist, specifically the original manga & the Brotherhood adaption.

It's about so many things, but to me it reminds me about the power of humanity and the importance of both your own resilience and trust in other people. It has comedic *and* tragic moments, just like real life, it gets serious when needed while remembering beautiful lighthearted moments also need to have their own place. I also like the message that despite equivalent exchange being the main principle in alchemy, rarely things are actually fair and that if you want change - you need to start with yourself and your surroundings. The worldbuilding is interesting and almost every character is important in their own way and has their own role, it's easy to get attached to them. When I was 11-12 watching the show, it affected me very positively and (as dramatic as it may sound) helped me to not lose faith in humanity.
I have no enemies 🥶
Adventure Time. This show put me on the path to be an artist as a child. While I may have diverged to a different medium of animation, my DREAM was to work on adventure time. That pushed me to draw all the time, I went to an animation highschool even. But then I fell in love with 3D and now I'm in games (special shout out to Undertale, the game that also changed my life) but I wouldn't be on this path anyways I think if it wasn't for adventure time<3
YESSS so many different CNN shows, steven universe has something to teach to all ages and I feel like I’ve learned how to be more empathetic or emotionally intelligent/intuitive because I’ve projects that Rebecca Sugar has participated in. (plus the music is fire)
I think Puella Madoka Magica really changed the way I valued my life, and IM NOT GONNA SPOIL IT but these girls sacrifice a lot just for another chance at life knowing they’re putting themselves in mortal danger. And thinking about how my life could’ve been much worse to the point I’d be willing to give my soul away to fix it or even fix another person’s life makes me think of how good I have it. I think it also provides introspection on how easy it is to get groomed/manipulated without even realizing it’s happening. There’s a lot to take from that show but I totally recommend it especially If you feel like you’re not really into magical girl media.
I'm definitly gonna go off topic with talking of games instead of shows, i think some who completely influenced my life are FF7, Guilty Gear and Metaphor Refantazio, i am NOT kidding when i say that i love them
it's a bit complicated to explain without venting or going into heavy subjects but basically these three games talk about topics that are sensitive to me and i relate to them a LOT
I don't think people will have the same experience has me playing it but it's okay
piece of media so good it inspired me to live longer
for me it has to be one piece. but not the filler!
AHHHH for me it’s ted lasso, it’s my fave show of all time!! it’s mostly a comedy, but it also has deep emotional lessons. one of my favorite lessons teaches us to “be a goldfish”, us humans tend to mess up a lot and sometimes it’s hard to not dwell on it, but goldfish have short term memory and that’s why they’re the happiest animal on earth. so be like a goldfish and just forget about the mistakes and move on!! AHH i could talk forever about ted lasso (^∇^)
Wait I love that!! Becoming a goldfish right neow!!
Dude, everyone talks about spirtied away, or howls moving castle - but you know what they DONT TALK ABOUT???? The Tale of the Princess Kaguya! NOBODY talks about that movie! It made me cry like, 3 times watching it for the first time. So special!
Omg ur right I haven’t heard of that one! Maybe I’ll watch it one day!
Bro the best and most influential studio ghibli movie imo has to be whisper of the heart or the wind rises SO PEAKKK and they really tug at your heart strings
