| what |
| I've turned into a happier person and got my knowlege wider |
 |
| Anime changed my life for the better, got nothing more to say ^_^ |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Not really, anime has just been entertainment for me, hasn't really had any effect at all on my life well I guess it did make me a filthy otaku though.... |
 |
| Picked up my guitar again thanks to music anime. Became an avid reader because of some characters. So it really changed my life for the better. |

Moogle-Magic said: I found out that I have a passion for drawing, just not hyper-realistic kind of drawings. And now I'm doing my best to improve. My drawings were truly bad before I watched anime- Ultimatedeath said: Anime changed my life for the better, got nothing more to say ^_^ I see. Also, I feel like I've found my place, and with people I can talk with and similar to me. |

| Anime has impacted parts of my life, yes. I usually like to draw mangas from time to time. It has made me become an artist. Anime was always a thing I liked when I was 7, completely oblivious to what anime genuinely was. It has also taken a rather small but effective impact pyschologically. I feel much more happier and a lot of people in my school like to comment about why I'm so happy and that I'm the happiest person they've ever seen. Then some people can be cynical about that (lewl) I've also become a LITTLE bit self-awared. It has made me more conscious but knowledgable? no. That's something I attained reading news and consistently studying at home and shit. |
| Why yu gettin' cheeky? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| In retrospect - hell no. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I was into anime during my time as a young adult, but it never saved my life, never taught me something of value and was generally pretty expensive hobby. It was a good companion during my first few years in university and me thankful for that, but time moved on and so am I. |
| Yes, a lot. After watching Monogatari Series I got a 180º personality change. I'm not going into detail with that right now, but it did happen. My interest in music went from non existent to really high because of how much I like most openings/endings and OST overall, and I started playing bass guitar. I stopped the last year but I still play from time to time. I decided which career I'm going to study at college after rewatching TTGL for the third time, so thats probably the biggest effect anime had on me.

| I took interest in learning elements of animation, storywriting and cinematography- just amateur level, nothing life-changing, but it's there. |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
| Anime has definitely made me more of a shut-in person, but it's worth it. It makes me happy :-) |
 ▬▬▬▬▬✿♥✿▬▬▬▬▬ change of heart |
| I didn't grow up with anime as I got into it around 25. So it couldn't really change my life. However, it does provide me with some of the greatest entertainment I have ever had. |
| It's definitely influenced my life and interest over the years. But the biggest impact anime has had on me is when I watch an emotional series and I get hype to get stuff done in my own life. |
 |
| I was positive it had when I was 14. I may have been right. |

That is awesome. What did you decide to become? Filmmaker, after watching all that awesomeness I figured it would be awesome to be part of the process. And after directing two shorts for my school I can confirm it is what I want to do. I'm also very lucky to study at an Audiovisual Arts school from even before I knew what I wanted to do because I have some actual knowledge about the process before going to college, so that also helped a lot to make my decision. |
| I started watching anime when I started college, and honestly, anime has helped me make a lot of new friends. It's been a surprisingly good conversation topic when I meet new people. So yeah, it hasn't had some HUGE effect on my life, but it's made me happier |
| Yeah. For some reasons I think I got better in human sciences thanks to animes... |
| Yes I do. Through anime I have actually learned to appreciate the creative process more and to not except sub-par media in general. It's hard to even watch live action shows now because most are just no interesting and are made like poop. Also I've only cried watching anime.. never anything else. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Clannad actually changed my life. |

| not really though, but it did help me improve my Creativity in storytelling |

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Clannad actually changed my life. Ditto. Anime is the only medium to make me cry. Yet it still has the power to make me laugh out loud-something I never have done before watching anime. I never watched live-actions anyway. good, you should especially dodge Disney live action series like Hannah montana. |
| been obsessed with anime since i was like 8 lol so no not really xD |

KoreaWS said: Ara_Desu said: Yeah. For some reasons I think I got better in human sciences thanks to animes... I'm curious to know which anime led you to that conclusion Animes that needs a certain amount of interpretation, like the Monogatari Series or OreGairu. |
| hmmm not really.. I am still a lolicon teenage.. but it has definitely replaced another hobbies I had |
 |
| Yes, I watch a lot more stuff now, before I was really into anime I would often struggle to find stuff that I was interested in watching. |
| I have become a lot less critical of things that people enjoy, because anime, is a niche thing where i live, not many people like it, most find it weird, this may seem weird, but it is the truth. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy. that is my cringey message of the day people. |
 |
| This type of thread seems to pop up quiet often in these forums... evident by the amount of people trying to troll here |
| It's a hobby appreciated by many and is such a diverse medium. I also became friends with a bunch of other people online and real life through liking anime. I think anime hasn't 'changed my life' but more like through anime I found joy in something that never will get old. |
 |
| I realized that special snowflakes are a plague in anime series even more than in TV series/Movies and that all males from Japan must obviously be thin guys with short black hair and that about all adults are stupid compared to immature teenagers, at least, judging by a lot of the anime series I saw. Seriously, it didn't change much except for the fact that it was one more thing I could do to entertain myself. |
| I found the anime community here. If you go to the right places, it's a huge boost in social life. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| Yes, now I don't hang out with my 3D boyz around as much as I used to, and 3D girls are way too much trouble xD Jokes aside it made me a bit kinder, and I can now deal with stupidity better :V |
 "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." |
| I really has. I starded playing Everlasting Summer (steam free game) I was bullied during 7 th grade and moved to another city and then I found really stupid friends and then I found 2D :D After I finished many games I begun to watch anime tv series and now look where I am. Anime changed me 2 years ago and now Im really into anime :) |
 |
| It has certainly made me more critical and analytical of the various forms of media I consume. |
| I mean, I got into anime before I'd even entered elementary school (Pokemon was my main obsession) and so I'm sure that had I never watched it, my life would be somewhat different. But I don't think anime as a whole impacted my life significantly, though there are a few works (such as Oyasumi Punpun) that definitely changed my perspective in various ways and influenced me. |

| I stopped watching tv, gaming, and became more perverted then ever! |
| No only thing anime do is ruin your ,make you lazy and end your social life. |
| I'd say so, from certain perspectives. I can see how it wouldn't do much for some, rather it's just a time-killer or just something to get through the day. But for me personally, I've learnt quite a few things from the animes I've watched. It's given me some new outlooks on life, such as not take things for granted and to be strong. I've gotten into more things about Japan such as cuisines and even contemplating getting my first ever bonsai. One day, I'd love to travel to Japan. |
