do you mean

A) you can picture yourself in the series, how you would react, act and how the characters would react to your presence

or

B) the series really made you feel something, such as a shared experience, an emotional bond, a shared feeling or sentiment

no problem, youre from Holland...and Hollands cool(at least all the people I met were when I went there). Keep up practicing, English has far too many nuances to be fully utilised correctly by even people who have always spoken the language...you can speak a foreign language far better than I can.

anyway onto the topic at hand.

for me one that really struck a chord was Saikano, the huge loss of...well everything got to me so powerfully as I had recently suffered the same thing.

Earth Girl Arjuna: My views of world have changed in ways that like her, I sometimes look at the world I live in and realise I don't see things in a "normal" way. Her sense of alienation and adjustment is very believable (politics of the show aside) while she becomes someone/thing(?) else.

To portray that is difficult. To experience this thing is both frightening and wonderful and seeing her missteps, hesitation, and resistance is something that I know from my own life. So I feel like her and I empathise with her.

All the Best,

Nani?

It's rather silly, but I think the time when I most saw myself as an anime character was in Nadesico when Akito watches certain parts of Gekiganger over and over again. The scene he watches was spoiler[the scene where Joe is killed, which Akito re-watches in an emotional funk trying to deal with the real-life death of Gai.] Needless to say, I do similar things with key sad scenes from various anime, so when I saw Nadesico, I couldn't help but recognize myself in that scene.

OTAKU NO VIDEO - A documentry and anime about Otaku's in Japan. And with some of the people they where interviewing, I was thinking "Yes! That is (or was) me" or "I know some one that is just like that"

NADESICO - Ruri-Chan is my favorite character. When I was watching this show for the very fist time, it reminded me of my collage class for that semester as I was surrounded by idiots.

RIDING BEAN + GUN SMITH CATS - Chicago is the town a grew up in. Most of the city scenes in both animes where based on real locations around there. It makes me home sick every time I watch it.

Gunslinger Girl-It's a real model of a character driven anime about an Itallian secret organization that uses little girls as assassins. Sure, there's action, but what it's really about is what's going on in the minds of these poor girls. They each have had tragic pasts and were seriously injured or orphaned, the agency gives them "conditioning" to make them loyal and forget their pasts.

Also several franchises like the various series and films of the Gundam and Ghost in the Shell universes for instance tend to draw me in. They're quite detailed in the finer arts of philosophy, politics, and psychology which helps flesh out the atnosphere and the characters.
