Not gonna lie, anime has affected my personality a lot. I’ve started to do mannerisms or say certain things that can be tied directly to anime or Japanese culture, like I’ll do a head tilt when I’m confused or when I’m upset I’ll puff out my cheeks. It’s really weird I know, but I just thought it was interesting It has started to make me more optimistic too! I have also struggled with depression and it after watching it it always makes me more upbeat
