I become very emotionally invested in well-written stories. In my daily life I can often be reasonably stoic, but if a story is powerful enough I'm not afraid to lower my defenses and let it touch me. Got any anime shows you could recommend me? For the past few years I've felt the need to watch a couple of series I haven't seen before every fall and this year is no different. All of my friends who have an interest in anime go pretty much based on my recommendations so I've always had to pick new things to watch pretty much at random, so the results are understandably very hit-or-miss.
LOL I am the same way, though as someone who adores art in any fashion, it can be hard not to remain stoic especially if it is something that really moves me. As for recommendations, some of the latest ones that have impressed me were Attack on Titan (a real popular one; you may have already heard/seen it), Flowers of Evil, and Mirrai Nikki are a few to mention. There are more, but I can't think of them currently. However one anime I'm currently looking forward to is Kill la Kill. This one is made by the same creators of Gurrenn Lagann, which is a favorite of mine. It starts in October and it looks promising so far.
