I don't know how to ask this question, but to everyone - has
anime changed your life? the way it is right now or is there any anime character serving as an inspiration to make great things. I've been an anime fan for more than 10 years, and I'm still unto it. Recently my brother wonders why most of the files in my PC were animes, he said "What are all this crap? Is this all you've got here?" - I whispered to my self, "Well, it is a part of me." Do you feel sometimes the way I do? |

I am currently working on a machine that could teleport me to alternate anime universes... Does that answer your question?

Did it change my life?
The Hell it did! When you get seriously sucked in into the world of anime you most definitely change! You work up a sort of... more mature look on the world. But it also depends on what kind of anime fan you are. If all you do is watch DBZ, Sailormoon or Pokemon you can hardly be called an anime fan. But lets say a person is interested in some of the anime from the upper shelf. Then you can see that all this crap you saw earlier (on TV and others) is nothing compared with those wonders of japanese animation. So your view on the world and entertainment changes. What more? You start downloading anime, buy manga etc And also - you meet new people (mostly fantasy, SF and anime fans). And we all know that other people have a great influence on us. The main point is that everyone changes. Your lifes also change. But the interest in anime ang manga can set your lifes change in a different direction. Some may argue that it is the wrong way. But it is your change that can take you into the great world of Anime&Manga. Just remember that that world isnt real

I am working on Human Completion and will be seeking pilots in about fifteen years. I just have to get my Antarctic expedition together.

Pilots? I'll take them down with my bare hands! Who needs an Eva to have an AT field? I pity them.

Besides making sure I have no money to spend on essential items such as food, anime has definately affected my outlook on life. The challanges characters in anime face in their daily lives and the strength they gain from their adventures makes me go out and seek my own adventures no matter how small they are.

I'm currently majouring in Media Arts & Animation in college. The course basically revolves around the many facets of 2D & 3D animation, from character design to scripting to storyboards to the latest computer software to good ole' pen & ink cel painting.
I can distinctly identify two things which led to this: 1. Seeing Jurassic Park in theatres when I was eight yeard old, promptly starting my love of CGI animation. 2. Happening to catch Galaxy Express 999 at 3:00 in the morning on a total fluke at twelve years old, launching me into my even bigger love of Japanese animation. So yeah...when anime affects your field of study in college, and consequently the careers that will be open to you upon graduation, you bet your ass that's a life changer.  Not to mention all the time, energy, and money I've put into collecting, watching, renting, and yes, even downloading anime...one has to wonder what else I'd have done with all the resources I've burned in the last six years...

Nani?

I'd have to agree that this applies to me too, even though I'm not going into "animation" per se. I'm finishing my bachalors right now and I'm looking at graduate schools (I'd like to teach/write about religion and the enviroment). There is a chance (keep your fingers crossed) that I might be able to do part of my work as an "exchange student" at Ise, one of the two training centers or Shinto clergy as well as the mother shrine of Shinto (think somewhat like the Vatican and you get the idea). I wouldn't have even thought of doing such a thing without Anime (though I would NEVER let a proffessor know). Buy the way two movies have been inspirations when feeling down. One of which is Wings Of Homiamese (the other is Rudy, non-anime). My life is very simlar to Ladatt's. All the Best, Nani? |

Anime: the anti drug
How can you afford drugs when you spend every single penny on anime and manga? |

Haha, you are correct littlegreenwolf. You also never worry about problems with your girl/boyfriend(hint: You may not get one). Luckily I work too hard digging footings, laying brick and shingling roofs to be without ample money even after a trip to the comic shop.

Yes, it did. It is a part of me, and I happen to be in love with Kurama. I ook up to Nuriko. People find me strange. Kurama actually saved my life in a way. I was really, really depressed, but I'd talk to a poster of Kurama I have and remind myself how he goes through all kinds of stuff and survives, and it kept me from doing something I'd regret. *sigh* if only he actually existed...

Anime has influenced me so much that I would like to one day become a manga co-author and hope my manga becomes successful enough to be adapted into anime.
I can't draw, but I have a lot of ideas. Besides, it might be better if I team up with a Japanese person who can draw authentic manga. I would also have to learn Japanese and live in Japan if I really want to make it all happen. As for my most influential character: I would say Goku from Dragonball/DBZ, but there are others... -- Sam the Methid Man |

Good luck with that Japanese citizenship. Hate to tell ya, but that's one of the hardest countries to get into. Not to mention it's insipidly difficult for foreigners to find work.

If there is one thing anime has taught me though is not matter how difficult the task at hand may seem you should follow through and if you want to try and become a manga coauthor then go for it.

One more thing.
If it wasnt for my fascination with anime and manga I wouldnt even consider studying Japanese Filology. I start next year. Also - I probably wouldnt be with the love of my life - my japanese girlfriend Megumi
