Influence

In what way has Anime affected your way of life? Influenced your opinions, made you try new food, language or maybe your entire life-style?

For me, it has made me realise that everyone can effect everything, all the time. Other than that, just my general interest in Anime sparks my interested in daily life, so I'm drawn to it.

Oh, and some more personal views that I don't want to share.

Why start a topic like this if you don't want to share?

Sorry..I'm in a bad mood. Anyway...Anime influenced just about every aspect of my life. I'm learning Japanese, trying new foods (Japanese traditional cooking is hard). Many phrases and facial expressions have crept into my everyday (Lots of wierd looks as well, lol) Even taking DEGA. Plus, I would be a lot more depressed because Anime happens to be a bright spot in my life : ) Because when the world sucks, There's always some Anime to cheer you up! Kanpai!

Well it has affected me in some ways. Sometimes I slip into some Japanese while Im talking to my friends, and do it without knowing it...Ive always loved any kind of Asian food but Ive started making my own.(and I agree, traditional Japanese cooking is hard)

On a "deeper level" I guess you could say, after watching some shows, it caused me to rethink my life, after one particular show(literally right after) for a few days I was basically in a trance rethinking my life. Anime has caused me not to take my life, or anything in it, for granted. I see some animes and think "I would really hate to live in a world as messed up as that" even though the world we live in is messed up. I am now glad to live how I am, even though I still think it sucks....

Ive decided that Im going to make an anime movie of my own along with a couple of friends. We have a story line and the resources to do it now. If we put everything that is in the final storyline (which we will, I hate it when movies take important stuff out of movies based on books) it will add up to just over 3 hours in runtime. Yes, that is very long and it will take a very long time to finish since it will be an on and off project because between work and school none of us have alot of time to work on it. Even though I hate english voices in anime that's what it will be, but unlike most english voice actors, we put emotion in it.

Hope I can post the finished product for you all to see one day. Cya.
