Gravity Falls is great. I stand by that. But still, when everyone else brings in stuff that has real stories behind it, kinda makes what I talked about seem really trivial.
Honestly, if I'd thought meaningfulness was the big criteria, I'd have been more likely to mention MLP:FiM. Being a fan of that show led to me meeting Alexx and getting contact with a pro storyboard artist AND get a butt-tonne of watchers on DeviantArt, as well as rekindling my interest in creating animation - something which was waning right around the time I was trying to decide whether or not to go to university at all. So yeh, in terms of life impact, it's definitely had a noticable effect, even though objectively, Gravity Falls is a better show.
