I already get surprised and touched by every single thing that happens. It&#8217;s refreshing to see an anime that&#8217;s both new and dramatic, yet hilarious to me, like this. Quite the anime. One thing I ponder on is why Tanjiro&#8217;s scar changed after the training in the first episode, or am I just overthinking?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/cooladmiral35\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:cooladmiral35;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">cooladmiral35<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I have watched a lot of anime and seen some great ones. <i>Demon Slayer<\/i> is one of the most beautiful anime I&#8217;ve ever seen.

Seeing that was one of the most visceral and gut-wrenching moments I\u2019ve ever experienced in any form of media. That was when I realized I had stumbled upon a life-changing story that would stay with me forever. Unfortunately, the first series ended rather disappointingly, but thankfully, they had the chance to do the story justice with the remake series, <i>Brotherhood<\/i>. The ending to <i>Brotherhood<\/i> is so much more complete and satisfying, and to this day, it is the greatest animated series I\u2019ve ever seen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014anonymous<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I know, I know, it\u2019s cliche!

I saw my siblings\u2019 journey to self-empowerment and their painful process of identity-building in Alphonse Elric. I cried like a baby every other episode. It was incredibly healing for me and will have a special place in my heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/thisismyidea\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:thisismyidea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">thisismyidea<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><span>10. <\/span><span>&#8220;The 1997 run of <i>Berserk<\/i> made me a real anime fan.

Before I saw this show, if you had asked me, &#8216;Who do you think is the greatest teacher or mentor figure you\u2019ve ever seen on screen?&#8217; I\u2019d probably say either Mr. Feeny from <i>Boy Meets World<\/i>, Mr. Keating from <i>Dead Poets Society<\/i>, Mr. Onizuka from <i>GTO<\/i>, Mister Rogers, or Uncle Iroh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But now, I can confidently say the answer to that is Koro-sensei. Interestingly, I finished watching <i>Assassination Classroom<\/i> shortly before embarking on a 10-week trip to Guatemala to work as a volunteer English teacher. I think watching <i>AC<\/i> gave me the inspiration and confidence I needed to succeed on that trip. And believe it or not, I\u2019m now working full-time teaching English in Japan. Whenever I give my self-introduction presentation to new students and mention that <i>AC<\/i> is one of my favorite anime, the students tend to get really excited. I want to be a great teacher like Koro-sensei, and I try to treat every one of my students like a member of his 3-E class.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014anonymous<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The way Nagisa killed Koro sensei killed me mentally.
