/a/, has any anime or anime in general taught you something new in your life? For example a new view of friendship or love.
It taught me thatManaka a shit
>/a/
>love
Well I guess TTGL had a moral boosting effect on me.
It taught me that yuri is the purest form of love.
Darker than Black taught me that Glass bottles are more environmentally friendly than Plastic. I mean, it makes sense, but I never really acknowledged it.
>>110850519
Fuck no. That sounds retarded.
I don't know how it'd be possible to learn a life lesson from anime unless you're severely autistic or 7.
>>110850519
Anime taught me that I will die alone without ever knowing the touch of female body or the feeling of love.
Anime taught me an enjoyable way of wasting time.
Watching anime.
>>110850920
Probably this.
>>110850519
I viewed Eva as a teenager. It modified the way I viewed interpersonal relationships, like wanting to understand people's motivations better.

Texhnolyze taught me that there's no hope, only despair and loneliness.
>>110851556
Bucks that could be spent on figmas.
Maybe not teach but it was more of a reminder of the important things.
>>110851556
I'm not interested in fucking a complete stranger.
Not to mention it would be the most awkward thing ever.

Harem anime taught me how dense I was. Who would've guessed that a girl "accidently" showing you her breasts means she wants the D.

>>110850519
Anime taught me that girls can love girls
Tsukihime VN taught me that if you strongly press below your testicles semen won't come out.
Thank you, Senpai.
>>110852287
Kinda this.
Anime taught me that my best days are behind me and I totally fucked up my chance of having a good school life, but then I already knew that.
It also taught me that slice-of-life depicts people as abnormally good-natured and decent.
>>110852287
this
Aria, Texhnolyze, Requiem for the Phantom and a few others have all changed my life for the better, I hope. I won't go into detail on how though.
Meruem from Hunter x Hunter taught me that I didn't understand anything and never really appreciated and cherished what truly mattered in my life. It might be corny but damn did it hit close to home.
It make me realize that democracy wasn't necesseraly the best form of gouvernment .
That and the fact that niggers make the best ninjas.
>>110850519
That highschool is the best time of life with which to enjoy with friends.
>>110851761
Aria was a fuck-load of inspiration and knowledge. Alicia is my role model. She is everything I want to be and more. The epitome of perfection.
Anime has taught methe pleasure of being cummed inside.
it got me into astronomy

>>110852949
The whole message of this episode hit me so hard. I strive to be like her.
It taught me the true beauty of armpits.
Other than a number of new fetishes.
I'd say that to be able to achieve something, you have to work hard to get said goal, but that's kinda common sense though, anime just helped nail it down in my head.I'm currently trying to get my drawing skills better, and I'd say it improved

Be be wary of getting NTRd, but no matter what you do, you'll always be NTRd. It's pretty much ruined my chance of ever having a healthy relationship with another person. T-thanks.

I don't think I properly understood other people's emotions until watching toradora. It's not so much the content but the fact that everyone in the show had wants and needs and made me realize how little I understood other people.
I felt like shit after.
>>110858979
replace the word appreciate or value with understood and I think it's more accurate to what I was trying to say.
Preoccupied with a single leaf, you won't see the tree. 'Preoccupied with a single tree, you'll miss the entire forest. Or something like this

Can someone dump this? I want to save it.
Anime taught me that girls can't love other girls.

Think of a book that delivers a life lesson. What if someone made an anime adaptation of said book that followed it exactly? Wouldn't it teach the same lesson?
So obviously it isn't logistically impossible.
>>110850871
Anything can influence your life, anything.
Anime and manga certainly qualify for that criteria.
>>110850920
I really wish there were more anime that viewed social isolation more often.

This is going to sound nerdy as fuck, but when I was in highschool I was in the track team. Had to run the 2 mile, and the theme song from TTGL motivated me, ended up with a personal record
Naruto taught me how to use Chakra.
>>110850785
Darker than Black taught me something about second hand smoke
>>110866554
Doesn't sound nerdy to me, anon.
I rewatch the entire series whenever I'm deeply depressed. I've personally grown to love this version http://youtu.be/-dWZcF58EgA
No matter what you do real life will always be less interesting and shittier than fiction.
I'm not sure if 'taught' is the right word, but I lost my fetish for incest after watching this. Maybe it was when Haru was crying when he found his sister masturbating to him.

TTGL is my fucking law/blog
Reading the Fate/stay night VN made me work out and run harder.
The details that was written about how much pain Shirou endures made every pain I've felt feel like nothing in comparison.
And I keep imagining"Can you keep up with me?"whenever I run.
Shit works like a charm.
>>110868848
I started running and shit after I finished Heavens Feel too. Then it wore off and I returned to not doing shit when I realized real life is stupid.
It taught me that I should've played baseball in high school, and that I shouldn't have stopped boxing. It taught me that /a/ is my best friend. It taught me that friendship between men is truly the best thing in the world.

This. Any story (or just about anything really), can make you think. It's just if you're willing to pause/stop etc and think it through yourself. Do many anime sit down lay it all out and the go text book mode and 'teach' things, no it's entertainment after all. But situations and events can still have the critical effect of having the viewer question things.Obviously it's probably not a good 'role model' source etc.
>>110872072
Hikari deserved better. Too bad for him he has shit taste.
>>110872217
In stories than make me think, I sometimes wonder what the author is thinking, if he's self-inserting, if he has an agenda, what political beliefs he has, etc. I've noticed that the author's works, especially serious ones, often provide insight into their lives and way of thinking.
>>110872724
Why is she so perfect?
>>110850519
It taught me that i hate people.
Kurosawa taught me to always fight.
>>110872896
Anime has taught me to never trust Okada.
TTGL really kinda gave me confidence in life, in some really weird way.
It taught me to give up
>>110866456
And without turning into another generic romcom.
Started biking because of Steins;Gate, became a better person because TTGL, and learned to cherish other people from Evangelion
Anime taught me I'm not spending enough money

You'll never be stalked by all the girls of the city watching you from the shadows.

Was it a joke or is it another one of those retarded eastern myths like the dire importance of turning fans off before sleeping?
>>110852830
HOLY SHIT
I mean, no story is going to quite teach you as much as a real-life experience, but it's definitely introduced me to concepts I've never really given much thought to. Monster was probably the anime that did the most for me in that regard since we talk about when it is and isn't right to take a life, but not so much when it is and isn't right to save one.
The favorite thing I've learned is probably from Eva: how there isn't a single "you", but rather, every existing description or definition of who/what you are is different and none are necessarily correct - that you have a different perception of yourself than your best friend, father, lover, etc has of you and that none of these perceptions are necessarily correct. There are hundreds, even thousands (depending on your popularity) of different versions of 'you' and you will never fully grasp or understand a single version, even your own.
It also taught me that Yuri is essentially the quickest path to nirvana.
Ping Pong kind of killed any depression I had for not having much of a chance to take what I love to a extravagant, or even professional level. Not that I wouldn't still try, it's just a lot more liberating from that feeling that you've failed unless you become a pinnacle of fame and success.
Pic related also made me feel like an arrogant child, and I've found myself keeping myself in check of things like naivety and arrogance after this. I mean, Kaiki is a shit role model, but despite all the shounen you've watched it is important to learn to realize when you truly can't do anything about something and that sometimes the seemingly most cynical view of something is in fact, the most optimal one for your greater interests. Monogatari also taught me to embrace lolis, so there's that, too.
I'm sure there's plenty more.
