In the anime department, Slayers is always at the top of my list-- but there's also Kaiba, Angel's Egg, and Tokyo Godfathers...

Only Culdcept rests in the manga department as most effective story. Najaran was a brave character that girls should look up to as a role model. It's a real pity Culdcept never got an anime...

And still the single most emotionally inspirational piece of literature for me is the short-story, Eyes of Amber, by Joan D Vinge.
One of these days I want to thank her for writing such a story as that...
