Does anyone understand?

I definitely know where you're coming from. I've only had a few animes fully impact me emotionally, but the one that pretty much impaled my heart, as cliché as it may sound, is CLANNAD. My heart still ruptures when I see those scenes and I have seen them countless times.The other would be Code Geass. When it finally ended I wasn't exactly sad, I just felt really empty. It was a mindblowing experience for me.

I totally know how you feel anime is so amazing and it has changed me for the better.

Gantz sad...?

Anyways worst for me was Anohana I cried for a few minutes at the end of the anime (I watched it in 1 sitting so I got the entire feels ride) but honestly it only affects me for maybe a short amount of time after finishing it but after that it's oh well.. I don't think I've ever stayed sad. =P As for those saying "Anime changes you and teaches everyone lessons if they watch it!" as an adult growing up on Anime I disagree I watch Anime because I love the shows but I don't think it has ever changed me for the better or worse as far as perspective and opinion goes.. the worst it has effected me is my wallet because I like collecting but thats about the extent of it.

I totally agree with you but the only anime that's ever made me feel so emotionally attached was Hunter x Hunter (2011). The entire Chimera Ant arc really hit me hard and I had to take about two weeks away before I could finish up the rest of it. sweatdrop
