| What anime have you watched that made you feel inspired to do something new, change your way of life, adopt a catchphrase or philosophy from that anime, or just feel really inspired/elated? I'd emphasize more what anime has touched/affected you very deeply. GTO - inspired me to get along more with people by just being funny and understanding them (and shows becoming a teacher can be fun) Toradora! - always be there for the people I love Golden Boy - Studying can be fun TTGL - just an inspiring anime for me in general |

| Boku no Pico, taught me to grab life by the balls and take every opportunity I'm presented with. |
 |
| Twevle Kingdoms- taught me not to let other people use me and stop all over me. |
Exclusively female yuri community with polls, games, member cards, and more. Join today.Recruiting Staff too! |
| Monster and Mushishi - Made me look at ethics in a new light |
| Aria inspired me to be chill and mellow. That really doesn't make sense... |
| Naruto. I could really relate to some of the characters and it inspired me to try harder and break out as more of an individual |

| Hajime no ippo - To start boxing/fighting Kenichi disciple - To fight not with anger or evil but technique + for good reason Baki the Grappler - Same as ippo, awesome anime! |

| Welcome to the NHK. Maybe didn't exactly inspire me, but somewhat made me think about my life so I guess it counts. |

(explanation isn't realy needed is it? hehe) I think you should explain me... Clannad and Clannad: After Story -was- making a powerful statement but Kyoto Animation blew their chance at creating a masterpiece. It's still quite excellent though, and is a must-watch for anyone into anime. Really, if you thought Angel Beats! showed you some kind of life meaning, then Clannad and Clannad: After Story will be nothing short of absolutely profound. I can bet on that. |

| Clannad ~after story~ inspired me to want a family one day, as my previous plan was just to be a loner for my entire life. |

| Yumeiro Patissiere inspired to expand my culinary skills. Before that, I wasn't concerned about making sweet foods or desserts, but I realised that it would be nice if I learnt how to because then I could make things for my other half, and eventually, my children in the future. |

I couldn't agree more. Besides, Angel Beats made me ask existencial questions which is a bad thing since these questions don't have any answer.....especially for a religious guy like me. Monster encouraged me to become a doctor, even if I am into engineering :D Also, NANA has given an understanding of the way a punk lives his life...Even if I have never smoked, or desired smoking, I found it ordinary in the NANA characters. I've seen that many people are affected by romance animes, some said that they should be present for the ones they love...However, I believe that that fantasy has nothing to do with the reality. On the opposite, we seek the fantasy in animes because it differs from reality ! It's a way of relaxation....Don't you think ? |

| Ima Soko ni Iru Boku. This anime always reminds that something good will happen if you just keep at it eventually, even if everything seems shitty atm. As a high school athlete, this anime is what helped me through my worst season so far. |
| I learned from Higurashi that if you kill people you can not only avoid arrest but forget all about it and it can make your problems all go away. But in seriousness, probably Evangelion. I relate to Shinji so much that I drew some inspiration from it. And Rei, a bit. I'd say Welcome to the NHK also. Unfortunately, I can see myself becoming a bit like Satou, but only a bit, not a dead-on hikikomori. However, some of the philosophical moments certainly hit me... So far, maybe a bit of Mushi-shi, as well. And a bit with Rakka and Reki's backstories in Haibane Renmei. |

| Inuyasha definitely. It kind of shaped who I am! It made me love everything about Japan from the culture to the language :D and I'd say definitely Clannad & Clannad After Story!! Kinda made me see the world from a different perspective and made me realize never take family for granted! |

| Ghibli movies usually motivate me to work harder for my goals. Slice of life type of animes like Clannad helped me to be less mean to people and try to be a little bit more social. |
| Ben 10 really inspired me alot. He is just a kid and so much powerful. I am very much impressed with Ben's character. |
| All Aria seasons. I correlate the Undines on their road to becoming Primas to me reaching my dream job. There are plenty of good morals in each episode, esp. in the Origination. |
 |
| Bakuman made me draw like crazy, and La Corda D'Oro made me practice guitar more <3 |
| haibane renmei myself; yourself clannad after story H2o ... |
| Welcome to NHK - its not about how people think about you, its about how you think for yourself TTGL - IDK why but its so inspirational!!!!! Giga DRILLLLL BREAKKKAH!! Bakuman - yep.... im drawing like hell |
| Wow, great topic. Aria Series - To take it easy, and enjoy life! Clannad - I was away in school, but watching it made me think of my family and friends back at home, and urged me to keep in touch with them a bit more often. Hajime no Ippo - After watching them train so hard every day, it sincerely inspired me to focus on my work and studies, and refuse to give up on a project even if it seemed to be too hard or troublesome. Kiki's Delivery Service - To visit Europe. And a promise to find time to adventure around a bit, when I get some money someday. |
| Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Well, it made me appreciate my little brother more. He's very like Yuuki and I'm very like Mirai to him so after finishing the series I tried to be a better sister. That's about it. |
| So, everybody, Have you ever watched an anime and suddenly wanted to learn how to do something new, or adopt a new mindset? For example, after watching Bartender, I had the urge to learn how to make cocktails. |
| Death Note taught me how to make things go just as planned. |
| How to drink saké, usually under a moon (Master Hiko from Rurouni Kenshin) |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Are you kidding my entire life is based around the typical Male shonen protagnist. I go around screaming "I will protect those that I love!!!" and "Don't Underestimate me!!!!!!" |
