There are many different shows about characters creating something of their own such as Eizouken, Nozaki-Kun or Bakuman, where the main character is inspired by something to create a manga or anime or whatever.

But this is the real world.

To my creators on MAL, have there been any shows that inspired you to create something of your own be it books, music, or even a game?

~~~

The show Shouwa Genroku inspired me recently to create recently. Even though it's about rakugo, a form of Japanese "stand-up" comedy, it inspired me to start writing. I often make up stories in my head and this show has gotten me to start putting pen to paper (digitally) and begin to create my very first novel.

After the Isekai where the MC is reincarnated as a vending machine begins airing, I'm pretty sure a lot of people will start thinking "If this crap got greenlit into being animated, I can make my story get published for sure".

my waifus encouraged me to draw them. i draw them like twice a year during holidays. i drew rem from re:zero this year and also anya because she's cute and not because she's my waifu.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

might be a little weird but my favorite mangas and animes like like Berserk and etc kinda made me want to create my own little series, I don't ever intend on bringing it to life mostly cause I probably can't but I did end up envisioning a little world in my own head

idk if this is the answer you're looking for, but princess principal was one of my main inspirations for a story that I am working on.

it's not too related, but i did take some notes from the setting.

I'm not good at drawing or music. But certain shows has inspired me to write some stories. Poco's Udon World is one of them.

Not anime but a cartoon "Gravity Falls" inspired me to create some ciphers and a bunch of code snippets to encode-decode them.

Shinsekai yori made me extremely jealous of the author's fascinating creativity, Prison School's author had an extremely good and detached sense of humor, Uchouten Kazoku was very warm, Kiseijuu, though not very proficient, felt very genuine, and Bunny Girl Senpai showed me how you could blatantly rip off other media and still combine them in a novel way

Naruto and Banana Fish made me write fanfictions, does that count? I even made one of them into a selfcreated book (physically) - that was some work.

All of them because I wish I could draw like all the great animators and mangakas. And a lot of characters make me want to create fanart of them :)

Kazuki Takahashi's work on the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, Tite Kubo's work on Bleach, and Hirohiko Araki's work on Jojo have all been key influences on my aesthetic and creative choices for better or worse. The issue is when I compared my amateur still learning artwork to professionals ONE OF WHICH HAS LITERALLY BEEN FEATURED IN THE LOUVRE it can really be demotivating at times.

I've created dozens of characters over the years, and artworks and stories.

But I don't agree with just wanting to copy a particular story. Inspiration is more general; like various different anime and anime-related artwork (take a look at Range Murata's books) inspire creativity in me; but I don't sit down and say "ok I like Character X so I want my creation to be just like Character X" with just some tweaks... there's no point to that.

Molly is a 'World Explorer' but I didn't think of any particular anime when designing her/her explorer outfit. What anime characters have khaki explorer uniforms- Riko?
But the story and character don't even resemble Made in Abyss in any way.

I have a crossover Fate story going that involves a SI version (nephew) of Kirei Kotomine summoning a servant who is another character I created years ago, that's up to 70 pages or so. But I only type into it for fun when I want some romance fantasy. But even so it's very loosely based on Fate, it changes the working of the Grail War, and all the characters apart from two are original. I joined fan fiction.net just to publish it but still haven't yet! It needs so much editing

It is not anime, but rather spamming forums and long tl;dr correspondence with someone kind of inspired me to be a writer.

Anime that made you want to create


that would have to be 1992's "Tenchi Muyo!"

"Princess Ayeka Jurai" inspired me to create in a whole new way (for me) two decades ago, when i got her 2001 TOYNAMI 11in. Character Doll,
wanting to dress her more to my personal taste, and learning Hand Sewing in order to get there;











That was then, This is now;
