I was just wondering if this may be true to some people, if it is possible that from all the anime that we watch and enjoy does it in any way affect the way we live our lives, in terms of interacting with people, friends, family and at school? Does anyone sometimes act or try to think the same way as one of their favorite characters from a anime? I know this question is kinda wierd and vague but i just want know if any anime characters have had some sort of affect on decisions we make in our lives.

Well, I haven't encountered people adopting anime character-traits, but I have noticed people picking up the infectious "adv Films Voice-actress-'yay!'".
(In the States, ADV Films is a major Anime publisher/distributor, with its own "stable" of voice actors & actresses that it reuses for a variety of roles. They make many con appearances, and are featured extensively on DVD bonus features.)

Interesting that you would say that. I know a lot of people who just randomly start speaking japanese words and they happen to watch a lot of anime. I guess it does kind of effect your brain... kind of creepy... ^_^'

What you should say is video games affecting our behavior because Tales of Symphonia, I have more of Kratos's personality, but in anime, I think...uh....umm...FLCL, yeah that show, I kinda change my behavior path a little but I gain a little bit back.

I guess it can be true for some people who can't distinguish reality from fantasy. But for most people, they know how to discern their action well.

me, i can differentiate between reality and anime so im not too different from loving it, maybe i am i just dont realize it cause im used to me now... lol, but this one girl i know starts randomly talking in japanese and all she does is sketch in school and create mangas from characters she makes up, she goes to the point of overdoing it a little with it taking over her life... i guess she is one of those ppl....

I know many people that use the anime voices and sounds in their daily lives. As for myself, I find myself speaking popular japanese phrases that I pick up, as well as conversations with friends. It doesn't really dominate my behavior beyond that, however. Well, I do find myself occasionally chanting the Dragon Slave from Slayers as a mantra, just to see if I can remember the entire thing.
So, I'm mostly uneffected, you could say....

Yah, ive become a lot more eccentric since i got into anime.
And i randomly spout Japanese eg: at dinner last night i screamed 'Itadakimasu' (i think thats how its spelled). Means 'Lets Eat'!

Anime only affects my behavior when I'm at home. When I'm at home, I can be a total immature idiot.

Oh! One thing I just thought of! Anime is making me immune to American "scary movies." A group of friends (the non-anime addict kind) got me to go see this "really creepy horror flick" in the theater. Through out the movie, creepy things like rivers of blood leaking into elevators kept happening, and everyone in the theater was freaking out.
Meanwhile, I kept thinking 'This is nothing. I've seen far scarier things in anime than this movie.' I fell asleep half way through the movie, I was so bored. Afterwords, everyone kept saying how awesome the movie was; everyone except my few friends that watch anime. I guess anime is just better than the movies?

Hmmm, not really, since that none of my friends likes anime or manga, ^_^' and well. It sure doesn't affect the way I act, but some anime may affect the way i think. (you know those super anilme with bunch of moral codes and "the meaning of life" for exemple...)... maybe did I became more compassionated
