holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity, some might say...

a lot about the cycle of love and hate, how injustice leads to hatred, and acting upon hatred leads to more injustice, and more hatred. #chooselove

also about family, whether it be blood, or found family. helped me come to with suppressed emotions relating to it

a super silly and fun shonen anime, while also being about government corruption, inequality, oppression, imperialism, capitalism, conflicting ideas of justice, rebellion, revolution, the meaning of freedom, and more. the main takeaway i've gotten from it is that no matter who you are, or what anyone says, it is never wrong just to be alive, and to be yourself.

has some dark themes (genocide, war, revenge, etc.) but ultimately a beautiful ending about how you already have everything you need within you.

taught me how to escape self-loathing, and learn to open up my heart to the world, despite the fact that it may bring me pain.

even if you cannot see or feel it, hope will never die, and it is never a mistake to have it.

emotionally impactful, but on a less personal level than the others. pluto asks "what does it mean to be human?"

science fiction but lowkey also about the dangers of AI, becoming more reality than fiction each day (Brau-1589 scared me so bad)

themes of war, genocide, prejudice, propaganda, sacrifice, etc. idk if we'll ever see another like Isayama... genuinely genius story-telling. although the ending is sad, in my opinion, it's perfect.

suppressing your emotions will often lead to worse outcomes; don't be afraid to feel.

read the manga!!! s1 was great, don't get me wrong, but it barely scratched the surface of the true story/meanings, which are accepting change, personal growth, and learning to move on and go your own way, even if it means you may have to leave people or things you love behind.

some religious aspects, but mainly about personal belief systems, anti-violence, anti-toxic masculinity, personal growth, and the fact that change is a choice you have to make for yourself. leave hate behind

inspires you to find and chase your dreams

pretty much the same vibe as haikyuu

inspires you to chase your dreams, challenge your limits, fight for what you want, and stay true to your values.

inspired me to think about my ambitions vs ideals, and the difference between the meanings of the two. set a goal for yourself and chase after it, for yourself and no one else.

not as good as the others on the list, but the first few episodes were pretty emotional, and encourage you to think about what you really want in life

been a while since i watched this, but i it being both hopeful and inspiring, as well as a tear-jerker.

chase your dreams, believe in yourself, and prove the haters wrong.

challenge the status quo, stand up for your beliefs, and see beauty in the world. i'm still working on finishing this one, but the beginning was amazing, and had me crying several episodes in a row.

[a vague understanding of the importance/role of the Catholic church in medieval Europe may be helpful to understanding the plot]

what does it mean to be human?

it's been so long since i watched this one so i can't much, but something about prejudice/discrimination, societal roles and expectations, and deciding what kind of person you want to be.

mc has an intense ion for jazz- very inspiring, shows that u can accomplish your dreams no matter how old u are

mc has a ion for art, despite initially lacking the talent. he really puts his all into getting better, and the side characters also have their own impactful backstories
