Pieces of media that changed you?

There are two types of media that changed me:

1 - Media that changed me because I got to meet awesome people who are still important to me today.
These would have to be D Gray Man and Lamento Beyond the Void, these franchises no longer mean anything to me but I am grateful for the people I got to meet thanks to this mutual interest and the chain of events that generated from it.

2 - Media that changed my perception and inspiration 
Trinity Blood - What initially attracted me to Trinity Blood was the outfits because I was an avid cosplayer back then but what really got me to stay and hold this close to my heart decades after the initial encounter was the richly complex political story and gray morals. I really dislike stories with the chosen one trope or binary good and evil.

No character is shallow, no faction is presented as the ‘Good One’, there are many characters making important choices that change the course of the history. Some are vile, others are naively good or just plain dumb, some are aware sacrifices must be made while others are willing to dirty themselves and take the fall if it means a good outcome for humanity.

Sadly this is a very hard franchise to get into because the anime barely scratches the surface, it serves to give a general idea of the ambiance and only that, the manga is released once in a blue moon and the original author already died, the editors had to literally search for authors notes on spare papers to try and guess what they wanted for the ending. The illustrator of the artbooks I'm pretty sure is xenophobic because of multiple stances and comments they made.... With all that said and done I still think it's an awesome franchise but one that requires a bit of wild goose chasing to get into, still it changed me a lot and I often catch myself rethreading things that happened on Trinity Blood in my stories.

Touhou Project is a treasure trove of sensibility hidden beneath a franchise with very ugly art (yeah I said it! Fight me!). A lot of characters are absurdly overpowered but the plots of the many stories are not some world-shattering event but rather something silly or mundane with a twist of fantasy, my favorite is one where a resident from a place that used to be hell but nowadays is just an underground city makes geysers appears into the surface to try and get someone to help stop her friend who became overpowered, all that behind her master’s back since the master can read thoughts and would know instantly that something is wrong. Some other time a god of death decides to slack off and spirits start to incarnate as flowers everywhere, or a ghost princess is preventing spring from happening because she is using all of its power to try and make the body buried beneath the perfect cherry three revive out of curiosity, unaware that it’s her own corpse. There’s also the animal mafia and many others shenanigans, all characters are extremely overpowered yet they live their usual bucolic lives as if they are not simply able to bend reality. . I also love how Touhou portrays different religions without judgment of character, they are not good or bad, they are simply different and have different beliefs that sometimes clash with one another.

I don't want to make a huge text right now, but I still want to share my point of view. Maybe I'll edit this post later.

One of the pieces of media that changed me was the Persona series, made by Atlus, especially Persona 4 golden. I just saw the gameplay of the entire game years ago, but can't stop to think about it even now. 
I watched the gameplays in my teenage years and I thought the plot really complex and the main cast really good. And when I watched videos about the game recently I noticed: this game is more complex that I imagined. It explores much of mitology, especially the japanese one and because of that I could do that doll of Konohana Sakuya hime I made months ago. I also made a "collection" of clothes of the persona series which is in my Deviantart.
I also think the paintings of Van Gogh really good. I love the texture of most of his paintings.
And I really like Chrono Cross, even more than Chrono Trigger, which is the first game of the series. Oh, that game I could play recently, but I also watched the gameplay before. I like the aesthetic of places and the soundtrack.  I Ilked to play too, but many people think the system of battles are complicated and boring. But it doesn't matter to me.     
So that's all I want to talk right now.
