My 3 favorite animations are Fullmetal Alchemist, Gintama and Death Note. Come to think of it, I have decided that. I think that begin and end of the story is the important for me. End of the story was. I tried to choose Monster, Hunter XX Hunter, Slam Dunk and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. = My three favorite anime series are Fullmetal Alchemist, Gintama, and Death Note. Come to think of it, the reason I chose them is that a strong beginning and ending are incredibly important to me. I also considered choosing Monster, Hunter x Hunter, Slam Dunk, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

After watcing Original animation Fullmetal Alchemist (old), I decided my major. After watching Brotherhood(remake), I went to military duty. = Watching the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime actually inspired me to choose my college major. Later, right after watching Brotherhood, I went to serve in the military.

If I were in the past, I never choose my major "mechanical engineering" and I never choose the dangerous, dirty, useless and hard position in airforce. = Looking back, if I could go back in time, I never would have chosen mechanical engineering as my major, and I never would have picked such a dangerous, dirty, hard, and unrewarding position in the Air Force.

Gintama gave me to have reasons I have to study Japanese. This animation shows dirty, direct, rude and restroom joke by Japaneses words. I could have my first job, select scholarship student for short term in Japan that's because I could speak Japanese a litle. And now I forgot all a lot. At that time, I could introduce my self by Japanese. = Gintama, on the other hand, gave me the motivation to study Japanese. That show is full of crude, direct, rude, and toilet humor using native Japanese wordplay. Because I learned a little Japanese from it, I was able to secure a short-term scholarship to Japan, which led to my very first job. I used to be able to introduce myself fluently in Japanese, though I've forgotten a lot of it by now.

Death Note made me change my mind. Just watching animations for kids was mine. Death Note was like a movie drama masterpiece. I thought about "Good and evil", religion and philosophy. It made sure that I'm a Catholic. For your information, I'm a just Sunday-Christian. For my mom. I'm not religious. I don't want be religious. It is so dangeroust that some animations rather than Bibe. = Finally, Death Note completely changed my mindset. Before that, I thought anime was just for kids. Death Note felt like a live-action thriller masterpiece. It made me deeply reflect on good versus evil, religion, and philosophy. Ironically, it even reinforced my Catholic background. For context, I'm just a 'Sunday Christian' for my mom's sake; I'm not genuinely religious and have no desire to be. It's wild how a single anime can be more philosophically dangerous and powerful than the Bible itself.

NOTE: You have an absolute masterpiece of a top-three list! And two animes from your list were on my top 3 kkkk.. ^^
