in a way, yes.
ever since i started watching DBZ way back in the day
i been obsessed with action
then there was pokemon, oh man, that made me want to travel
and now naruto has turned me to love romace novels, (not old ppl stuff, things wit ppl our age)
and they have influenced me to draw, i use to only draw weird stick figures with only a head, legs and arms
now i have deffenitaly inproved.
and now im writting a story that me and my friend are going to draw this summer when i get more of it done
(kinda like our own manga)

and now when i grow up all i want to do is travel, lern martial arts, and draw and write that story
and for some reason i want to cook

Yes, it has. It made me a little more less shy and I got new friends, because of it.

Yes It made my Drawing skills better.........ad canged my personality ....sillier and as Nonye said I mde new friends

a little bit sure, make a few friends. I am a dreamer, and animes are the best way to dream about worlds that never cant exiest, so sad it is. But is it cool to look it with friends and make some Nerd Stuff like "KAMEHAMEHA" or something .

I suppose you could say it has influenced my life, getting know different people. New friends, i realized how many good ppl are still in this world. Sometimes it doesn't seem like it, but getting to meet different people of different backgrounds, its just...cool.
So yes it has influenced my life, I have have met so many different ppl because of it, the best part about it is every1 will share a common interest, after all why would you be on an anime forum if you dislike it? Now I however am not saying that every1 here likes the same things but i think you get the picture.

I just recently became hooked on Anime, not even kidding, now I am watching like 6 Anime's or something. I absolutely love it. It's so much better than American crap. Anime always has good story plots and raises the bar by the show! The people all have different personalities and looks. They are do distinct and adorable! It has made my drawing skills amazing! I draw it all the time and it inspired me to take on Art courses for future careers. It has also made me happier and more outgoing. I love getting out there now and expressing how I feel! A lot of my friends know I am crazy about it, and I have some who are too. But I am a full Anime lover at heart. It is the ONLY thing I watch now, not even joking.
