         Even if we are in a position to ignore them, or solely eat them, animals play important roles in the lives of humans. What motivated me to choose this anime topic is that during my childhood, my mother rescued and rehabilitated stray animals from around the city. I grew up with many animals in our apartment and therefore, many different personalities. When watching films I always enjoy animals and roles that they play because being friends with them was such a big part of my childhood. Here I mention and describe the personalities of animals from 3 different anime shows that played vital roles in character developments like the animals I lived with did for me.
