"One moment I remember vividly, was when my grandmother passed away. It was the first time in my life I really had to grieve, and there were so many emotions I didn't quite know how to process it all. It was then, a few months later that I got to see "Summer Wars" for the first time, and it was only then that it truly hit me. Seeing the way this enormous family functioned together, laughed together, cried together under the caring watch of a loving grandma was such an eerie reflection of my family that I held dear. It resonated with me so deeply that it actually brought out the emotions I didn't quite know how to process before. That was the moment for me. The moment when you weren't just watching someone else's story on screen, you were living it. You had lived it. You wanted to live it. Part of it resonated with a fiber of your being and for a moment you felt a personal connection, not to some person, but something intangible that you were watching. After I felt that for the first time, anime ceased being something that could just entertain me, but something that could also connect with me on an unspoken level that no person had ever done before." -Gigguk
