A Japanese website "animatetimes" asked it's users to rank anime that changed their life. Here is the result:

1: Gintama 2: Kuroko's Basketball 3: Naruto 4: Katekyo Hitman REBORN! 5: Haikyuu

I'm really surprised to see Katekyo Hitman REBORN so high, is it more popular in Japan ?

Haven't heard of Reborn in so long. Surprised people still know about. Good show/manga but wouldn't have thought it would be life affecting.

A loser that gets powers, finds friends and protects them at all costs, kinda a mix of Naruto and Ichigo. It shows kids maturing I kinda see how it can change a person.

Tbh I can see how that might have happened. Tsuna wasn't heroic or strong. He actually wanted to run away and abandom his friends multiple times in the beginning iirc. But he matures as a person, finds things he wants to protect and becomes a better version of himself. He doesn't become suddenly incredibly capable (he still fails his classes and gets beaten up) but improves. That makes him more relatable than some other characters who are just born heroic or get random power-ups constantly.

Oh wow, KHR brings me back. I'm pleasantly surprised that it's in the top 5.

KHR, that was def my favorite of the shounen anime/mangas - would be extremely cool if they finished it like they are doing with Bleach now
