| For me, I kept seeing this strange object in anime that characters would play with sometimes. One day I decided to look up what this thing was. It's a "kendama" - a little wooden toy that's like a combination of yo-yo, ball in a cup, and juggling. I look up videos of it; and it looks kinda silly but also like a lot of fun. After thinking about it for a few months I finally get one. It IS a lot of fun! Glad I got it. Anyone else get into something they enjoy because of anime?  |
| I think anime rekindled my passion for drawing, especially Blue Period. I also have a coloring book that I enjoy filling out. I might show some pictures some day. |
 |
| I started posting on MAL forum because of Anime. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| The closest is that i was playing with Beyblades after watching the show during childhood. |
 |
| Yes, thanks to anime, one of my favourites hobbies now is reading manga, doujin, and hentai. |
| "Have you ever started a new hobby or activity because of anime?" Hmm, probably not. |
 |
| If collecting anime figures counts? then yeah that. Had no interest in anything like statue/figure collecting beforehand. |
 |
| Thanks to Baki, I got interested in martial arts and started watching UFC and training fitness |
| Not really a hobby or an activity, but watching Dr Stone season 1 made me run out and buy ramen that same day. |
 |
| Pokemon card collection and beyblade as kids. Started drawing characters even though I sucked at art. Started collecting physical manga volumes. Starting playing volleyball due to Haikyuu. Changed my grip style in table tennis due to ping pong the animation. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Toy photography and crafting (kind of). Because of anime I collect some anime figures, and I don't like just displaying them so I started doing photography and crafting some sets for them. |
  |
| I picked up drinking from Grand Blue. Have you ever tried their oolong tea? It's good as hell but you can only drink like one of them for real. |
| "You only realize the real value of something you discarded when you get the chance to pick it up again." - Rudeus Greyrat |
| Bocchi the rock made me dedicated to guitar, i already played the acoustic one casually but after watching the show I bought an electric one |
 |
| Anime helped rekindle my love for reading which led to me picking up manga and now I have a manga collection and some merch. |
 "You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of." - Vladilena Milizé |
| I've seriously considered trying fishing after watching a couple series about it. |
 |
| boxing, hajime no ippo, quit after 4 years though |
| I never would've started drawing if it wasn't for anime |
 |
| When I saw Chihayafuru, I seriously considered starting to play Karuta, it just seemed like so much fun. Unfortunately after finding out I had to learn Japanese, since the game does not know an English, Spanish or French variant, I quickly became discouraged. Also realising that there aren't many competitors in my vicinity was the nail on the coffin. Because of anime having unfinished shows, I started reading manga & then I discovered manhwa. I like reading manhwa, as a kid I used to read a lot of comics. |
| I don't know who quotes me and then deletes the comment, but know that you make my day. STEAM's GOTY 2024 the Ghost of Tsushima Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 compared to other games released in 2024 is without a doubt a masterpiece. HOWEVER... Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 compared to far older games like Gears of War from 2006 is pretty lackluster and has lots of room for improvement -> 5.5/10 Lol Sony needs to stop sniffing their own farts, their IQ is crashing so hard they are gonna ruin the whole company. |
| I got more invested into volleyball after Haikyuu. |
| initial D made me gain more interest in cars/driving and also made me get into eurobeat. |
 |
| Joined the Pokemon league in the 90's, got into boxing for a while after seeing Hajime no Ippo. Then I got into tennis after reading/watching Baby Steps. I got pretty good and thanks to it I lost close to 90lbs in just a year. Then I won $200 in a weightloss competition and used the money to buy weed. |

| One year ago, watching Re:Creator motivated me to start writing. Though I had a fair share of writing short stories during my high school years, but never ever been an anime that rekindles that passion again other than Re:Creator. Now, I've been writing an isekai short story and several other short stories, nothing too fancy, just a personal project of mine. Still, much has to learn. |
 |
| Not really... Haikyuu motivated me to go for a run sometimes. |

| Both my drawings and clay works changed dramatically due to anime. It's not a completely new hobby for me maybe, but a new angle to sure. |
| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
| i started being unable to talk to women after watching anime on a serious note, watching anime made me wanna work on myself and start going to the gym. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I've become a chronic mastubator because of anime. My average in the past 20 years is about 2 times per day. |
 "Tenchi Muyo!" was a complete Phenomenon in Japan throughout most of the 1990's... and Picked up real hard in popularity in the U.S. for a brief period in the early-2000's. i was there at ground zero... and TM! was, essentially, the first major Anime series i was deeply invested in that was not Mecha-related. In Fact; My TM! Fandom was centrally responsible for driving me into Anime Character Dolls and their Customization potential. i started out with a full set of TOYNAMI's very clumsy 12in. TM! Dolls around 2001/2002... and in 2023/2024, i came back Full Circle, after a fashion, by acquiring TAKARA's two-doll mid-90's Juraiian Alien-Princess pair, both of which being long-time Grails of mine... and both being very amenable to an upgrade to the fabulous 2018 OBITSU 26cm. Doll Body~ |

| Op made me wanna make me go and eat some sunlight. I feel Ike I need more adventures in my life, even if im only one person |
| Started playing table tennis because of adashima. There was a 3-4 min table tennis scene in the first episode and that's it lol |
 |
| A bit mixed up between game, anime/manga when i was a kid. I copy movements from fighting games like bloody roar 2 and legend of legaia, while reflex type from Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, since then i like and prefer reflex/mix-based martial arts. have karate lesson and some tournament but quit in high school, went to grappling martial arts club but not really like it and quit. Starting to like drawing because of tail concerto, which is a game not anime but start drawing anime characters after that because of cute characters there but quit and more focusing on scripting/3d modeling for game development. kind of regret it because i don't continue drawing anymore though. |

| Yes, I started buying and reading manga, mostly because one of my favorite animes (Elfen Lied) got an incomplete adaptation and I wanted to know the end of the story. It kinda snowballed after that and now I have a decent collection. I like it. |
| I started looking at live-action porn because I looked up hentai porn of my favorite anime characters lol... |
