Have you ever watched an anime that inspired you do ahcieve something great or significantly changed your life? In my short experience with anime I have not yet encountered such an event but when I do discover one I will post it here. Share how it changed you or how it inspired you to achieve something.
If you guys don't understand the point of this I'll give you an example. Say you were watching an anime about a shy guy who never talked to girls and then finally he works up the courage and goes and talks to his crush. The next day YOU go to school and decide to talk to the girl you have a crush on (you were shy before watching that particular episode). |

Thats a good question. Although i have been watching anime for some time now,and always buildig my dvd collection i have yet to find a anime so inspiring that it changed my life. That being said,i have found some anime series to be inspirational,and or to have inspirational moments in them. Now that i've said that,anime did inspire me in one way that could be considered life changing. After watching it on tv in the 80's later on when i became financialy able to i began collecting anime on dvd,and became a huge fan of all things anime,and less a fan of domestic cartoons.So in that way anime did cause a change in my life.

There are only three anime's right now that I can think of that give me that kind of inspiration. The first one is BECK, it made me feel like I could really do whatever I want to if I really try hard, and never give up.
The Second anime is more of a life-changing kind of experience, or "eye opener". Kimi ga Nozomu Eien really made me think more about my life, and the things that happen around me. The thrid and final anime is Honey & Clover. Like the previous anime it really made me think. I guess its always like that with most drama anime's.... |

Well, frankly, I think anime in general has changed my life. Before I got into anime, my body had matured without my mind, and I was stunted in intellectual and emotional growth. Life was just floating by, no real conflict, while everyone around me laughed and cried. Anime provided knowledge and emotion that I had been totally missing before. Anime made me realize a bunch of things about life, and as a result, I totally flipped around, and my life has been continuing to change, even a lot recently.
As to specific anime, a big one was His and Her Circumstances, as well as Whisper of the Heart, in which I gained a lot of insight into art, and so it helped develop my own artistic ability. Last Exile really got me interested in dramatic theater/screen production works of art. Haibane Renmei inspired my current writing style, in that I really wanted to put more of an emphasis on deep characters. |

Heck yeah! Ah! My Goddess. It's the first anime I've ever seen that made me think. Heck, I'm even making up my own "episodes" via a fan manga, drawn and written by me. It was also the first anime that I've ever seen based on love, and human emotions. At times it's sad, and at times, it's so funny, you feel like your lungs'll explode. And the music...don't even get me started on the music. You should see it, you'd more than likely like it. Hope that helps (WATCH IT!!!)!

It sounds like you just really liked Ah! My Goddess, not so much that it changed your life... |

I can't say "life changing" but, Oh! My Goddess, and moreso Ai Yori Aoshi, have reminded me to work a little harder around my house. That I should put forth more effort. Not because I have a wife or girlfriend that I want to keep. But to prove to myself that I deserve a really good one.
Like this morning for example. I woke up at 7 am. This after going to bed at 2 am. I should have gone back to sleep. I wish I could have. But as I couldn't drift to gentle slumber, I thought of a few things I could do around my house. So I got up and did them. Then I went back to bed for a couple hours before I had to get up for work. I could easily wallow in self-pity about how lonely my life is. I don't work when everyone else does. I don't have the same days off. I work in a men only situation, so I don't even see a woman most days. Yadda yadda yadda. So what! I have to be ready for when something/someone out of the blue comes into my life. Do I want to be into self-pity, and live like a pig? Ok, so my house still looks like a bachelor lives there. I am trying. But there aren't enough hours in the day. That or give up the few hobbies I have, grow grass, instead of a nice garden, lose my cats, the fish, quit collecting comics/anime/manga. Then I should have time to vacuum and dust. Hate being so wordy. But since I started to watch those series, I have been trying to do more. I can't prove cause and effect, just going with a feeling. Whatever, I am grateful. |

After watching the two episodes of Yume Tsukai, I'm more hesitant to brush off the dreams I have as nothing. "Dreams are a reflection of feelings locked away in your heart."
Now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Inspires me to examine my dreams more closely, to see if it really is a channel for the "feelings in my heart" to be released. This idea has probably been long established (Freud?), but this series creates a powerful analogy. |

Then main thing that anime does to me is when I watch a character work really hard at their part time jobs (motosuwa from chobits, and Tohru from Fruits Basket), it makes me feel pathetic about myself. Other than that, I've always felt myself to have a strong awareness of things that are going on around me, so I'm quite reluctant to learn lessons from watching anime.
