Hi there! Has anime inspired you to try something new?

[Mayo_Musketeer]

You probably know that the depths of the internet are teeming with various types of “digital personalities” - I would probably belong more to those who like to grab a bucket of popcorn and watch “chaos unfolds itself”, but in the most recent years, I would like to say that I do enjoy participating in discussions more.

When I was a wee lad, we had a gaming magazine of sorts, there were always reviews of TV series, films and even anime at the very end. Digimon, Pokemon were already known from where I am (by the way, Onix is a absolute favorite), but with one fateful magazine, I got to know a world from which there was no way I could get out - the world of anime. I was hooked. Since I was 11 years old, I have been into various genres (like everyone else), having watched close to 150 series in total throughout a lot of years.
During university, I heard about Gintama from a classmate - and, slowly, I fell in love with the comedy, adventures and everyday non-standard situations that this group of characters offered - and I was also there when it ended (in general, I was pleasantly surprised that there will be a spin-off series Ginpachi-sensei).

Besides that, there is another definite favorite: Mushi-shi. the elements of nature, the mysticism, and the music only brightened it all up. I like historical, isekai, adventure, action, slice-of-life, comedy genres.

Something about myself - well, I've often been interested in doing creative activities - whether it's moulding polymer clay shapes for coffee mugs, bracelets (sliding knot ones, if that was the correct term), tile mosaics, miniature painting or trying out 100+ recipes (I don't say necessarily no to new things and experimented with everything that comes to mind - utilizing bamboo steamers, organizing hot-pot evenings, using cricket flour to make pancakes, making chocolates on Valentine's Day etc.). Cooking is more of a meditative process - most of the time I make it by myself, and, especially during the summer time - I also grown my own veggies and fruits. But, anime also influences me to try new things - Grand Blue (and Subnautica game) fueled my interest in underwater diving (I swear - the diving part, not the "oolong tea" part, haha). Yuru Camp got me interested in camping (and spending a long time on the road) and I also get a bit of wanderlust from time to time - getting lost and exploring other countries.  Volunteering is also what I have done, such as, looking after animals - reptiles (snakes, turtles in rehabilitation centers), birds, dogs, helping out in retirement homes, helping with organizing events etc. I do enjoy swimming and am into Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series.

So, has anime (perhaps even a book, movie, song) inspired you to try something new? 

I'm glad to meet everyone and can't wait to join in the various discussions

Hello and welcome to the forum ~ I hope you have a great time here  

Anime has inspired me to try new things from time to time. Usually things like trying food or drinks I wouldn't normal try such as different teas most recently. It's also inspired me to try many different types of Japanese foods.

Hello and welcome to AF!

I can’t really think of anything that anime has inspired me to do, but I’m also a pretty casual viewer
