| Now, obviously things that happen in anime, pretty much never happen in real life. Do you think that watching these things so often can make someone believe that they can happen in real life? For example; can make someone believe that a girl/boy will spontaneously fall in love with him or that they have insane magical powers. I'll admit that there have been a few times after marathoning anime for a very long time, that when I stop, I have a hard time waking back up to reality. Or on the other hand do you think that watching lots of anime could make someone more creative? Maybe you've experienced delusions yourself? I know what chuunibyou is by the way, but I don't think that it quite describes what I'm asking. So what do you think? |

| Reality sometimes is unrealistic you know. Anything can happen. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| if they are extremely gullible it can happen |
| Definitely, I mean reality could be very cruel afterall. |
| Maybe that's what anime clubs & cosplay conventions are for? And yeah, I tried to fight(sparring) like how they do in anime once. :/ it actually looked cool. |
 |
| Please..look at us. Yes. |

| No, they have to have psychosis or other mental illness to begin with. |
| It really depends on the situation the person is in. I can think of a stupid reason like someone who is desperately wanting a girlfriend and harem animes giving them false hope... |
| Of course not, don't say such stupid stuff or am gonna throw a kamehameha wave at you. |
| Escapism and delusional beliefs are different things even though they can overlap. |
| If you haven't got sufficient real life experiences, maybe, yeah. Fiction can certainly affect expectations and make them unrealistic. |
 |
| Most probably |
 |
| Not really, but i think i'm some badass character from a series at night. |
 |
| It depends entirely on your mental fortitude. |
 |
| Yes, and I speak from experience really. I'm not the type of person who adopts anime-life characteristics in my real life, such as going around and yelling "kawaiiiii" at everything adorable, or doing stupid shit like that, but it definitely influences my life. ie, after watching Sword Art Online, I felt extremely depressed, not because of the storyline, or the romance, but the fact that it made me want to believe that love like that should exist. Now, that's made me believe the term "love" is thrown around rather freely, and it should mean more than just occasional sexual intercourse and outings. Watching anime just makes me more and more depressed really, because it draws a wider and wider gap between anime and reality. So I believe it can, but it depends how you look at anime. |
| Insert Signature Here. |
| Not really. I can see that happening to me personally. |

Meokii said: Yes and I used to see three girls at school everyday who'd act like Haruhi and those characters from K-On. Personally, I don't care but most students are so creeped out with it for some reason. Do they trip over their own feet on purpose? lol |

| It can turn some people into weeaboos, so yes. But in my case, I've seen a lot of anime. I haven't turned into one of those people yet. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| The same could be said with anything. My friend is hardcore into 1950s and 1960s stuff and it's definitely distorted his view on stuff. It's not anime, it's the individual. |
 |
| Not really delusional in that sense, but once I finish a good anime from a marathon, or take a break from a long marathon, I can get put in this weird feeling of vertigo as if my persona is being torn between two different worlds. Aka I'm high as fuck, though there have been sometimes I have felt that way and it's caused me to think more instead of less. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| Of course. Though this doesn't only apply to anime. Though it's mostly little kids that have these kinds of delusions. (It would be kinda creepy if older people had them tbh) |
 |
| It could happen to the simple minded or over imaginative. Not to me. |
 I can see you |
| Yea i started to beat men because I thought being tsundere would make them love me. |

| Some people are very susceptible to becoming delusional by any kind of media. It's not just anime. |
| They shouldn't even watch anime if they don't know the difference between anime and reality. |

| ~just tried to go super saiyan earlier~ Nah how could it do such a thing. |

| no i wouldnt say that i mean unless they have mental problems so something but i do believe some anime do motivate people to go after a goal they wouldnt normally do |
| Be It 10 or 1000 Men, The End Result Will Be The Same.. |

| wantz 2 b delusional since dat sounds fun. dunt rlly have good imagination so seeing sum butler or magical girl telling me to go wit dem in the middle of a highway sounds fun. or smth |
| Whats That? You think my username is Pretty?! Me too!!....... until I found out it was the name of a JAV actress whom I dont even know. |
| Like any form of enternteinment it's an act of escapism. And that's fine, everyone needs it. But the problem lies in the quantity of the escapism. If one spends all day watching anime and not interacting with people it can have consequences. Not delusions but you forget how life works, how to interact with people. I know becauseI went trough that. And it took quite some time relearning how to speak with people. Lucky me I found great friends that were into more than just anime so I could expand my way of thinking and reconect with real people. |
| Not really =/ I've watched my fair share of anime and it doesn't affect me irl whatsoever. |
| I love my gurlz |
| No, watching too much anime cannot make someone delusional. For that too happen, The person has to be delusional already. Can anime enhance an already delusional persons delusions? Totally. But the delusions of delusional people can be enhanced by just about anything since they are already delusional. However, I do believe people who are easily impressionable can get a false sense of reality from watching too much of anything really. |
