| In my opinion they can cause i hear many peoples stories on how they were depressed or into many bad things but once they saw anime it change there perspective in life and some of them spend more money n time watchin anime then buyin drugs or to stress over life but what do you think can it really help many people and did anime ever help you in anyway ? |

| It helped me make friends....I guess that was life saving in its own way. |
 |
| It really depends... You may avoid a car accident if you decide to stay home and finish the last 5 minute of your anime instead of going to school on time... You may learn about which chemical shouldn't be mixed together... hmmm.... |

| that's as much as saying anything & everything can save lives if you look out of the square.... "McDonald's saved my life because the fancy high class restaurant I was about to enter just caught on fire blocking all exit's and killing everyone that was in it....lucky I had a craving for fries" "Porn saved my life as I am a fat NEET who hardly goes out to exercise and my heart was ready to give up, but thanks to my 'extra-curricular' hand activities the doctor says I'm going to live" ...hope you see the picture there |

| I hate to be a downer (well not really) but if you consider the ratio of how many people have their lives "wasted" because of anime (ie. NEETS, otaku) compared to how many people have had their lives saved because of it you would see that the lives saved is quite insignificant. |
| Anime saved my dad's life. One of my best friends and president of my college's anime club gave my dad his kidney. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| Anime helps me overcome my depressions and I once met a guy that had his thoughts of suicide completely stop because anime cheered him up all the time. :) |
| Anime has changed my life, it did not save my life though. It gave me a different outlook on life, people, and society. I have learned to respect everything a little more and to be more grateful. I have also begun to take notice of people feelings and emotions. All though, to save my life would not be in the way you would hope for. |

They are wasting their lives in your eyes, but they might not in their own eyes. There is no right and wrong way to live a life. It is their choice to live that way. I hate to be a downer, but do you actually know how many people have been "saved" and how many people have "wasted" their lives because of anime? |

| Anything can contribute to saving a life. A person's life is influenced by many, many factors and there's no reason for anime or any other sort of entertainment not to be one of them. prismheart said: Splitter said: Anime saved my dad's life.

And if anime "saves your life" then it's actually just you doing it by yourself, but with the anime acting as a catalyst for your inner will to live. But remember kids, don't use anime as substitute for seatbelts. It doesn't tend to work. |

A metaphorical seat belt, if you will. |
| i guess it could. there are billions of situations and anime has to at least save one |
| this is my god damn signature. |

| Yeah, anime can save lives. It just depends on whether the person watching the anime can be influenced or changed in a positive way. |
| I believe it can...by lots of different ways that depends on the situation! but in the other hand it can End pepls lives... like when some kids try to copy anime characters... or even adults if they over-got into it !!! |
| Anime isn't exactly music but, I guess given the right circumstances and the right person, the right anime at the right time could save someones life. |

| I used a Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha boxed set to fend off a knife armed burglar who'd entered my home, anime very literally saved my life. ...alright im lying |

DoubleDango said: Anything can contribute to saving a life. I'll go for this as well. Anything that can, either physically or psychologically, affect a person has the potential to change, and save, a life... |

| I guess it really depends on your point of view. In the right situation and circumstances, you could say that anything saves lives. The creation of the medium does not save lives. While you can nitpick and split hairs over it and twist it so that you could say that anime saves lives, but it does not directly save lives. Medicine saves lives. Doctors save lives. Safety devices like seatbelts and kevlar armor saves lives. |
     |
| Not saved in my case, but my life would be missing something if i could not watch Anime anymore. |
| I think it depends on how it affects you. There are some anime that promotes violence, indecency, stupidity and many bad influences as well as good ones like friendship, trust and optimism. To others it's a form of entertainment, an escape from reality (like drugs). somehow it help others to cope up with loneliness but the irony sometimes it brings others to isolation. Not unless there's anime out there that teaches first aid or cpr. then your statement about it saving lives is plausible. |
 |
| Well after I watched an anime, I learned how to fight after a day I watched a couple of episodes. |
| Yes. Most animes have good morals. And can tell us great things. |

| Yes. Any form of medium which can affect one's psychological state can change the events of their life, be it positive or negative. |

| It saves you from boredom. |
| This thread made me think of School Days.... Anime can kill people too. |
| I see dead people. |
Jesper3 said: It saves you from boredom. That's pretty much what i was going to write. pfft save lives my ass you guys should go outside and smell the fresh air |
| Depends on the anime ;D. |
     |
| It just depends on what type of person you are or what you are watching...if you are influenced by such things, like say you saw something in an anime that really helped you then sure it can. If you are a person like me who isn't really influenced by things like that then probably not. Well that and when I watch an anime, I really don't really tend to think that deeply about it... |

| Mars of Destruction saved my life it was such a masterpiece that I didn't feel depressed anymore. 8D |

| Anime ruins mine. Can't watch anime till everyone goes to sleep. I get 4 hours of sleep every night and I'm in middle school. But I fucking love it :D |
| Of course it can. All art can, so does anime. You know: Animation is an art. |
