THEN, I THINK I HAVE MIXED VIEWS. scream
FOR ME, ANIME HAS HAD NOTHING BUT A POSITVE EFFECT. I MIGHT BE DESCRIBED AS A LITTLE 'OBSESSED,' BUT I FEEL THAT BECAUSE OF WATCHING ANIMES SUCH AS NARUTO, D.GRAY-MAN AND BIG MOVIES LIKE SPIRITED AWAY AND GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES, I'VE COME TO VIEW THE WAY I LIVE DIFFERENTLY. THE WAY I TREAT PEOPLE HAS IMPROVED BECAUSE THE INFLUENCE THAT ANIME'S MORALS HAVE HAD ON ME. scream
DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. NEVER GIVE UP, EVEN IF THE CHIPS ARE DOWN. PUT YOUR HEART IN TO SOMETHING AND IT WILL BE ACHIEVED. THE MORALS OF ANIME ARE TRUE TO REAL LIFE, DESPITE IT BEING COMMONLY LABELLED AS A 'CHILDREN'S CARTOON.' scream
THOUGH, I'M NOT AN EXAMPLE OF ANIME HAVING A NEGATIVE EFFECT. WHEN I WENT TO FLORIDA THIS YEAR, I SKIPPED INSIDE A MANGA SHOP, AND IN THERE WAS A HUDDLE OF NARUTO FANS, ALL WEARING THE HEADBANDS. scream
AND, THIS WAS TOTALLY NEW TO ME, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY DIEHARD FANS LIKE THOSE D: TO WEAR THE HEADBAND IN PUBLIC JUST SEEMED LIKE AN EXTREME ACT OF LOYALTY (AND COURAGE) TO ME. SO, I STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION. scream
AND AS SOON AS IT SWITCHED TO PAIRINGS, THEN I REALISED THAT THIS WAS NOT MY CUP OF TEA XD I WAS TOTALLY BASHED BECAUSE MY HEART WAS SET ON SASUSAKU. THEY WERE ALL NARUSAKU AND SASUNARU FANS, AND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS MINDBLOWING. scream
THE LANGUAGE THEY USED BECAUSE I HAD DIFFERENT VIEWS.... JEEZ. AND THEN, SINCE THEY HAD NO MORE BEEF ON ME, THEY STARTED TEASING ME ABOUT MY ACCENT. scream
THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST INSTANCE OF A NEGATIVE EFFECT THAT I CAN OFFER. AT LEAST IN MY EXPERIENCE. scream
WAS THAT OKAY, ESKIMO-SAN? scream

I FOR ONE, THINK THAT ANIME HAS A POSITIVE AFFECT ON ME. BUT EVER SINCE I STARTED TO WATCH IT, I HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER. FOR INSTINCE, I NOW TREAT PEOPLE WITH MUCH MORE RESPECT, AND I'VE LEARNED NOT TO JUDGE PEOPLE JUST FROM ONE THING, BECAUSE IF I DID THAT, THEN I WOULD ONLY HAVE A FEW FRIENDS BECAUSE MY FRIENDS MOSTLY DRESS IN ABERCROMBIE, AND I DRESS IN HOTTOPIC. SO THAT FOR ONE IS ONE WAY THAT ANIME HAS CHANGED ME.
I ALSO HATE IT THOUGH HOW SO MANY PEOPLE JUDGE PEOPLE BY THE WAY THEY LOOK BUT SOME OF MY FRIENDS, I CHANGED BY GETTING THEM INTO ANIME SO NOW THEY DON'T CARE. xp
I LOVE ANIME THOUGH. gonk scream

EDIT:
gonk I'M NOT GOOD AT INTERVIEWS scream
BUT I'LL TRY. gonk scream
FOR ME ANIME HAD AN INCREDIBLY POSTIVE AFFECT ON ME. FOR ONE IT GAVE ME SOMETHING TO DO IN MY SPARE TIME. ANOTHER, AS BRI AND SNAZZY SAID, IT MADE ME TREAT OTHER PEOPLE NICER. scream
ANIME IS LIKE A GATEWAY TO ANOTHER DEMENSION BUT YET THE MORALS APPLY TO REAL LIFE. I LIKE THAT ABOUT IT. IT'S ALSO DEEPENED MY ABILITY TO LOOK AT SITUATIONS WITH A COMPLEX POINT OF VIEW. scream
OMGWTF SNAZZY? YOUR ACCENT? scream
THOSE BEEFTARDS, YOUR ACCENT IS CUTE. scream

FOR ME, ANIME HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT AS WELL. scream
TO ME, WATCHING AN ANIME (OR READING A MANGA) IS THE SAME AS READING A BOOK. AFTER ALL, A MANGA IS JUST A BOOK WITH PICTURES IN IT. IN OTHER WORDS, THE STORIES IN MANGAS ARE ,AT LEAST A LITTLE, SIMILAR TO THE STORIES WE HAVE TO ANALYZE IN MY ENGLISH CLASS. scream
SOMETIMES I EVEN TRY TO ANALYZE ANIME scream
(YES, I'M JUST WEIRD LIKE THAT sweatdrop scream )
TAKE SAKURA FOR EXAMPLE. SHE USED TO BE ONE OF THE WEAKEST CHARACTERS IN THE STORY (SHE SYMBOLIZES HUMAN WEAKNESS). BUT THAT'S BECAUSE NARUTO HAVE A DEMON INSIDE HIM, AND SASUKE IS FROM THE UBERMEGASPECIALUCHIHACLANOFDOOM. SAKURA DOESN'T HAVE NEITHER OF THESE ADVANTAGES, THEREFORE MAKING HER THE MOST HUMAN CHARACTER AS WELL. THEN IN THE TIMESKIP, SHE SYMBOLIZES HUMAN STRENGTH, BECAUSE SHE WAS ABLE TO BECOME STRONG BY JUST BEING HUMAN scream
AND SASUKE'S CHARACTER IS EVEN MORE SYMBOLISTIC, BUT I'M NOT GOING INTO THAT BECAUSE DON'T FEEL LIKE TYPING ANYMORE scream
....SORRY IF I MADE NO SENSE! sweatdrop scream

PERSONALLY, ANIME DID NOT REALLY HAVE THAT BIG OF AN EFFECT ON ME. BUT I SUPPOSE THAT MUST MEAN IT WAS RELATIVELY POSITIVE. :SCREAM:
I USED BE REALLY INTO ANIME A FEW YEARS AGO. WOULD WATCH IT AND EVERYTHING. HOWEVER, LATELY I'VE BECOME REALLY BORED WITH IT (PERHAPS BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE CREATORS ARE RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS). SO THEN I DECIDED TO TURN TO DRAMAS. =D :sCREAM:
AS FOR EFFECTS, I SUPPOSE THAT IT DID GET ME INTERESTED IN A CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND NATION THAT IS NOT MY OWN. IT WAS ANIME, AND MANGA, THAT MADE ME LOOK OUTSIDE THE BOX. LIKE, “OH. JAPAN IS INTERESTING… OH. SO IS CHINA.” I’M SURE SOMEBODY HERE HAS MET, OR SEEN, A PERSON HERE JUST A LITTLE BIT XENOPHOBIC. HELL, EVEN SOMEONE THAT IS SLIGHTLY NAÏVE ABOUT A PERSON’S CULTURE OR CUSTOMS. LET’S FACE IT, EVEN JAPAN IS XENOPHOBIC TO THE MAX. A LITTLE EXPOSURE TO A DIFFERENT PLACE IS A GREAT THING. :SCREAM:
AS FOR IMPACT ON WESTERN CULTURE, I SUPPOSE ANIME DID INFLUENCE THE AMERICAN-CARTOONING WORLD. SOME OF THE POPULAR CARTOONS DRAWN ARE REALLY INFLUENCED BY THE STYLE OF JAPANESE ANIMATION. FOR EXAMPLE, “TEEN TITANS” AND “AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER.” :SCREAM:
AND SINCE IT’S ONE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING, I’M HUNGRY, AND MY BRAIN HAS DECIDED TO STOP FUNCTIONING, I’LL QUICKLY CONCLUDE TO THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS. :SCREAM:
I SERIOUSLY HAVE TO SAY THAT THE WORSE IMPACT OF ANIME IS THE GLORIFICATION OF JAPAN. I SERIOUSLY HAVE MET SOME PEOPLE WHO REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT JAPAN, FROM WHAT THEY SEE ON ANIME, IS THE BESTEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. LIKE “OH GOD. I HATE THE U.S. I WANNA MOVE TO JAPAN.” I CANNOT SAY HOW MUCH IT TICKLES MY PICKLE (XD) HEARING IT. AND DAMN. I WAS GOING TO GIVE A REASON, BUT MY MIND JUST WENT BLANK. :SCREAM:
ARE YOU ALSO INTERESTED IN WRITING ABOUT ANIME IN THE US MARKET? IF YOU’RE WRITING A PAPER ON ANIME IN AMERICAN CULTURE, I TOTALLY SUGGEST DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH ON IT. YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING INTERESTING. :SCREAM: AND I WATCHED LARS AND THE REAL GIRL :SCREAM:
IT'S THE BEESSTTESSTT MOVIE IN THE WORLD :SCREAM:
I CRIED FOR BIANCA, AND MY FRIENDS LAUGHED. :SCREAM:

EVEN IF I'M NOT AMERICAN, I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT. scream
ANIME HAS BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON ME. scream
FIRSTLY, ANIME HAS INFLUENCED MY ART STYLE. IF I DID NOT WATCH ANIME OR READ MANGA, I WOULD NOT HAVE LEARNED HOW TO DRAW IN A MORE REALISTIC STYLE THAN CARTOONS. scream
SECONDLY, ANIME HAS HELPED ME IN APPRECIATING ANOTHER CULTURE. SURE, IT ISN'T MINE, BUT THE DESIRE TO LEARN ANOTHER CULTURE APART FROM MINE BROADENS MY HORIZONS. SOMETIMES, IT'S NOT JUST JAPANESE CULTURE EITHER, BECAUSE ANIME SOMETIMES TACKLES OTHER CULTURES. scream
THIRDLY, WATCHING ANIME HAS LED TO ME GETTING INTERESTED IN FANFICTION. READING FANFICTION, AND WRITING IT, EVENTUALLY, HAS LED TO ME IMPROVING MY WRITING STYLE AND EVENTUALLY LED TO ME HAVING "NOVELIST" IN MY CAREER OPTIONS. scream
A NEGATIVE ASPECT OF WATCHING ANIME IS THAT IT CAN SOMETIMES LEAD INTO OVER-INDULGING IN IT. SOMETIMES I CARE ABOUT IT MORE OR THINK ABOUT IT MORE THAN ACADEMICS OR FAMILY LIFE. I SOMETIMES GET INTO FIGHTS WITH MY PARENTS OR SISTERS BECAUSE OF IT. scream
ALSO, IT CAN LEAD TO SUPPORTING ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS. ANIME IS A LOT HARDER AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO BUY AND FIND LEGALLY, SO MOST PEOPLE LIKE ME RESORT TO THE INTERNET TO GET ANIME. scream
I HOPE I WASN'T TOO LATE. scream

OMG I RESEARCHED FOR YOU.
LOVE ME
HERE'S A BOOK YOU CAN CHECK OUT FROM ANY BOOKSTORE. (YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO LOOK HARD FOR IT, OR DIRECTLY GO TO A JAPANESE BOOKSTORE.) :SCREAM:
http://www.powells.com/biblio/9781135707453
THIS IS A BOOK POSTED ONLINE FOR REVIEW, I GUESS. IT'S NOT THE WHOLE THING, BUT IT HAS ENOUGH INFORMATION TO PICK OUT. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY EXPLAIN THE IMPACT OF AMERICAN CULTURE, (I DIDN'T REALLY READ IT ALL, SO YOU CAN BE THE JUDGE OF THAT) BUT IT DOES GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. WOOPS. FOR THIS ONE, JUST COPY & PASTE THE BOOK TITLE TO THE SEARCH BAR, AND YOU'LL GET IT. :SCREAM:
ANIME EXPLOSION: THE WHAT? WHY? & WOW! OF JAPANESE ANIMATION
ANOTHER BOOKS FROM GOOGLE BOOKS (COPY & PASTE TITLE): :SCREAM:
"ANIME FROM AKIRA TO PRINCESS MONONOKE: EXPERIENCING CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE ANIMATION":SCREAM::SCREAM::SCREAM:
"ANIME ESSENTIALS: EVERY THING A FAN NEEDS TO KNOW"
"MECHADEMIA 1: EMERGING WORLDS OF ANIME AND MANGA"
THIS ONE HAS NO REVIEW PAGES SO GO TO A BOOKSTORE FOR THIS. sad
"ANIME FROM AKIRA TO HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE: EXPERIENCING CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE ANIMATION" --> BY THE SAME AUTHOR AS THE OTHER, BUT IT'S UPDATED.
HERE'S A FEW SITES I FOUND: :SCREAM:
