I agree with the article in that it can make a person think negatively. For example, my best friend is unable to watch Attack on Titan without going into an extended tirade over the main character. She's even raged - quit several shows in the past. That being said, watching Rick boss people around on the Walking Dead does the same thing to me and it's not an anime. Keep in mind, you form opinions constantly while watching shows so they can make you think negatively or positively.
That being said, Psycho-Pass is the one anime that had probably permanently affected my mindset. That one phrase, "the law does not protect the people. People protect the law" really made me think and made me realize some things in a different light. Didn't really change my behavior, only the perspective I use when considering issues concerning the Bill of Rights or our Constitution. It made me realize those "laws" could easily be taken away and by virtue of their existence those rights are still not guaranteed. However, a recourse against infringements of those laws is guaranteed by their very existence which makes protecting them all the more important. A convoluted way to think about it, but it makes sense to me. Changed my mindset anyways.
