| I always felt i had a calling for entertainment and acting, and anime is sort of what pushed me to pursue voice acting over other work. There's also a specific anime VA for pushed me to pursue it when i messaged them (About how much i loved their work and the show they were on had an impact on my childhood and that i was interested in pursuing it). There's other reasons i want to be a VA unrelated though. (Mostly because i know i'm sort of ugly and prefer being off camera and that i have bad legs so doing on screen acting would be too painful for me since i'd have to stand up too often. Voice Over is much less physically intense) |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| yea probably i did take some japanese in college but i had other reasons for that too |
♡☆♡☆♡ |
| I often consider writing web novels, the ideas for which are heavily influenced by anime/manga so yes. |
| Nope, if anything it was the reverse. My hobbies and interests played a role in getting me into anime more. I was always a fan of action stuff and creative powers growing up-- martial arts and giant energy explosions especially-- so getting into stuff like Dragon Ball and One Piece was pretty easy. Not to mention before anime I was a bookworm who also happened to play tons of video games, so this outcome was only natural. |
 |
| Yes, anime and manga made me a die hard action jrpg fanatic. |
| Anime and manga are basically my hobby. Other then that, games and drawing became a big hobby of mine after getting into anime. Also collecting manga and anime merch. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| In some of them. I started to learn Japanese after I watched my first animes. Also, when I draw people, the predominant art style is anime/manga. After I watched Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, I decided to learn to play piano for second time in my life. |

| No, it hasn't really affected anything other than the music I listen to, even the genres of games I play haven't changed. It hasn't had any effect on my other hobbies or career either. |
| Actually not. In fact, it seems like no hobby has influence on others all-in-all for me, maybe except books and movies. Having the hobbies I have today are a result of other external influence. |

| Mecha Plastic Model Kits were my initial gateway into OTAKUdom back in the mid-90's, and i've gradually grown fairly decent at it since;     discovering Anime Character Dolls early in the 2000's, -and being dissatisfied with their out-of-box included clothing- inspired me to learn Hand Sewing, eventually affording me the freedom to dress my girls as i see fit;   |
 |
| Yes, I started self-learning Japanese because of anime, stopped after giving JLPT N3 exam though. I do fan-translations. I try to draw too but not very good with it, tried to animate as well but it didn't turn out well. Education and career wise anime didn't influence me though, I just picked the subjects that interested me. |
| Yeah. I mainly do manga/anime embroidery when I do it. I'm looking into selling them/doing commissions too. Cooking I tend to make Japanese dishes that I see in anime. I have quite a few anime/game cookbooks. |
 |
| Somewhat. Anime made me want to learn how to draw, and animate. Though I feel gaming was more influential, in a lot of ways. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| Not really. When I was a kid I was already into drawing and painting. I really liked fine arts, but I was also into comics and cartoons. Naturally I just wanted to search more works to enjoy and get inspired from. Some of the Japanese works however have influenced my art style. |
 |
| Shokugeki no Souma inspired me to start learning to cook. So yeah. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| Although I have begun reading novels prior, I only became interested in Japanese literature before anime. Though I only started getting into it when I chanced upon selections of Japanese fiction in the college library. As far as I remember, there were 3 or 4 books from Haruki Murakami in the section, and the rest were from Japanese contemporary authors such as Banana Yoshimoto and Natsuo Kirino. |
 もろともに 哀れと思へ 山桜 花より外に 知る人もなし. On a mountain slope, Solitary, uncompanioned, Stands a cherry tree. Except for you, lonely friend, To others I am unknown. |
| Yeah! I started studying Japanese because of the anime. And I loved it, but not Japanese, but studying languages. I started to study many languages and very different ones, I also do conlangs thanks to that. By the way, I started watching anime thanks to CS:GO. To practice aim I started playing OSU! and thanks to the osu I got into anisongs and therefore anime |
