Has an anime ever successfully convinced you to buy a product or engage in whatever activity it was pushing? Pic related, she sold me on buying a Suzuki.
>>289861633I may or may not got a motorcycle license because of Super Cub.
Digimon Adventure convinced me to open the gate to another world.I'm still looking.
>>289861633yeah sure, found out a place near me sells taiyaki so I thought I would try it out.
>>289861633Nope.
>>289861633Does masturbating to Rin count? Because Bakuon definitely convinced me to do that
I bought eneloop batteries because of that one carnival phantasm episode
>>289861948sameI live far away enough from the center of town for it to be annoying to walk there but not far enough to justify driving a car, so I just bought a Hunter Cub
>>289861633one time i bought cup noodle
Started road biking because of yowamushi pedalits fun going fast
>>289861633Beyblade. trading cards and other toys were things I bought as a kid.
>>289861633Yamaha > Suzuki
>>289861633Yes. Shoujo Ramune convinced me.
>>289862194>I'm still looking.
>>289865415You bought a bottle of ramune right
>>289861633I bought an electric guitar after watching K-On. One day I'll learn to play it, I swear
>>289861633not directly I guess but all the food manga got me to appreciate cooking moreI was never a big fan of eating outside until I read solitary gourmet
>>289865576Just start learning it every day for 10 minutes
>>289865525No
>>289861633Now get a suzuki swift sport and a hayabusa
>>289861633yes, Boku no Pico
>>289861633Black Lagoon made me smoke a bunch of American Spirit and drink a bunch of Heineken
>>289861633>>289865003I buy the curry cup noodles sometimes because of yuru camp. As far as instant noodles go, they're pretty damn good.
>>289861633I almost started to run because of UmaMusu. So far only gachas made me spend on figs because I liked character so much.
>>289861633i wanna buy a subaru rice car but im pooru....>>289861948its practical but the parking fees and repairs would kill me. all these super cubs in my area are OLD.
>>289866367NISSIN!!! cup noodles is original n le best.the original flavour is chicken though, not curry.
>>289861633I bought a set of mahjong tiles after watching Saki.
>>289861633It probably wore me down over time in various anime but I can look at Puniru as the big push that got me to try a cream soda, and I got it as a proper thing like you would get at a real Japanese cafe.I have never actually gotten to try it but Gabriel dropout really makes me want to try melon breadOutside food if we don't count regular traditional merch then there's an edge case with Alice Gear Aegis, which was already a gacha and model kit line (not totally clear what came first) which got me to buy a kit, twice actually because I wanted the anime original protagonist but she didn't have one so I brought another, then a week later they announced her. this in theory works out because I get one straight away and then another later when the protagonist released, but in practice i've got a pile of unfinished projects and being halfway through the first girl is one of them, haven't even gotten the protag out of the shipping box (deliberately to avoid having yet another project on the go, but I forgot I had done so and locked it away in a rarely open cupboard so I thought she never arrived for some reason)one anime did get me to try and try a gacha, Magatsu Wahrheit: Zuerst, but my phone was never gonna be able to handle it so I tried using emulators but was never able to get past the title screen, by the time I had any sort of hardware that could run it it was too late, I think the game had little in common with the anime anyway for spoiler reasons with the anime being a prequel, I suspect the studio was just told do whatever the fuck you want and tie this in at the end somehowbut has some moe anime about some hobby ever gotten my to pick up the hobby? no
>>289863014I'm a horribly fussy eater and wish I wasn't and that's one of the things I would be really keen to try if my palate wasn't so sub childish, but I just know it being slightly weird I would vomit before it even reached my mouth, at least I'm less horrible with beverages, neither as fussy and better at at least getting things I am iffy about on my tongue and usually down my throat
>>289864286I convinced my workplace to get in on that>>289867294oh I forgot to mention, the cream soda was just ok
>>289865003I did but with my fussy eating I was disappointed when I opened it up and realized it's not like western ones where it's 2 or more pouches and you can pick and choose what parts you put in, it was all just loosemaybe if I found a flavor that was only things I would eat, the one I brought was the original
>>289861633not anime, but RE5 made me want to lift weights, Bakuman made making manga look fun.
>>289865050I didn't get into yugioh through animanga but I became a Witchcrafter player because a character in a manga was, the tranny fucker in Protect me Shugomaru
>>289861633i'm not a functionally retarded person like everyone else who watches anime, so no. i have the capability to decide and act on those decisions completely independently of foreign influence. it's a very cool thing that requires minimal education and effort and is a prerequisite to self actualization. someday i hope you can all gain that level of independence yourselves!
>>289865425>bottom of an indoor swimming poolthat must be like 10 metres of rope to the ceiling>>289861633Even though I probably enjoy anime and manga the most as a medium, looking over the series I've rated the highest, none of it has really had a substantial impact on my perspective or habits (aside from spurring me on to funpost on /a/>Gintama >GTO would probably be the closest to affecting either.
>>289867468this is you (200 iq)
>>289867516>proves the point by falling back to textbook anti-intellectualism responses while simultaneously thinking it is a form of intellectualismshiggy my diggy
>>289866212i couldn't imagine a worse thing to take away from a show. Heineken? thats a dogshit beer at the best of times. Beer is terrible in general.
>>289867571you're intelligent but like the autism kind of intelligent, not the good useful one
I started weightlifting after watching/reading Danberu (I've stuck with it since) and Akagi got me to learn mahjong. As for media that has got me to change my perspective on things in an emotional sort of way, that has been mostly relegated to VNs.>>289861948For me, it was reading Bakuon Rettou that really got me wanting to get my license. I still want to get a gs1000g so I can really larp as my favourite motorcycle manga (I ride a honda atm)
>>289867636>As for media that has got me to change my perspective on things in an emotional sort of way, that has been mostly relegated to VNs.Arc 6 of Higurashi and some Key novels?
>>289867240Same but Akagi.
>>289861633Super CubI bought a motorcycle because of that show. Bakuon did, in fact, help with my purchasing decision as well.
>>289861948>Everyone being brainwashed by KogumaYou meet the nicest saleswomen on a Super CubIf these things didn't cost 3-4 times their value here, I would have got a Super cub easy
>>289867666Umineko instead, but Saya and Mimei also have been ones that have had pretty strong impacts on me. I'm not particularly a fan of nakige, so I haven't really dove into any Key ones
>>289867210>its practical but the parking fees and repairs would kill me. all these super cubs in my area are OLD.Sounds like you're in the market for an electric motorcycle you can take the front wheel off and bring inside, like a surron
>>289867571>>289867468>>proves the point by falling back to textbook anti-intellectualism rYou're posting on /a/, of course you're going to be mocked for thinking you're 'above it'. You're an idiot for thinking it's wrong to let the thing you enjoy influence you.
>>289867864or a motocompo, also made by Honda™
>>289867842>Saya Aside from this being suspenseful, it didn't particularly impact me. What effect did this have on you?
>>289868094I figured, that artist must be a lolicon, he draws the boobs of adult women really unpleasantly. Maybe this is partly what Saya was about.
>>289868121>really unpleasantlyyou are homosexual
>>289868129
>>289868175these are anatomically correct tits, you probably like fake balloon tits
>>289868175I thought the university aged romantic love interest woman being depicted as having saggy granny boobs was part of the theme of the work
>>289861633no
>>289861633>he's infected>>289861948>50cc base got him interested
>>289868183Bolt-ons are a different matter entirely
I played Mahjong for a while after reading Ten.I decided to do a small trip around the Izu peninsula when I went to Japan because I had seen some cool spots in Yuru Camp, but I ended up going to different places there, but I still went to some that appeared on the show (pic related, on Mt Omuro).
>>289861633My dumb ass bought an electric guitar because of Bocchi.Of course it didn't last and I sold it later.Fuck my ADHD brain.
>>289861633Hyperdimension Neptunia
>>289868094>What effect did this have on you?To put it (somewhat) briefly, I think the biggest thing that has stayed with me is how it approaches ideas of emotional connections. For example, Fuminori is clearly throwing away a lot in pursuit of his feelings for Saya. He very much understands that what he is doing is not normal (I'm solely talking about falling in love with her right now) but he makes the decision that, at some point, it is worth pursuing his own feelings instead of shying away from them in order to align more with how things "ought to be." Saya is introduced as a sort of "false comfort" being the only person he can see as human, which we and him eventually understand is just a facade, but the feelings he develops are still genuine. How do you approach real feelings towards a fictional (fake or misleading) subject? Contrasting the reality of a scene with ones perception of it and making a determination of which is "more right" is a pretty major focus of the novel. When I first read the VN well over a decade ago, I remember it feeling very comforting and very romantic. What is happening is gruesome and horrifying, but there is something that makes me feel peaceful. It wasn't until reading it through more times (and becoming very anti-social in college) that I was able to realize it was this approach to love and loneliness that really resonated with me. Hopefully this makes sense to you. I think that if you're also a person who struggles with connecting to people and finds themself seeking comfort elsewhere, you'll at least be able to glean something from the story. All these years later, it is still a VN that is very special to me, so I have a lot of thoughts about it.
