General Action Discussion

[Bthug]

I dont mean anime in general, cause that means we all have, but do u live or act a certain way because of an anime or an anime character, maybe u thought l was cool so u wanna be a dectective or something like that.

[EYEBREEL]

Nope.

Otherwise, it would mean that I have no life... and I kinda have one, so...

[FullKekkaishi]

Yeah, i guess somethings that I do are based off an anime character's actions....

[BUU8800]

Not to my knowledge, but maybe there is something. I guess I'll say my gut says maybe...

[LuisReallyHatesYou]

Bleach makes me wanna bang hot, giant bewbed white women. Does that count?

[Doujin_man]

I've acted like simon in my more boring moments

[BUU8800]

Now that I think of it there is actually one thing I do more often in my day to day life thanks to anime: walk with both arms behind my back one hand holding the other ala King Bradley or Elder Kai. I don't always do it, but much more often than I used to which was never...

[EYEBREEL]

I'm telling on you...

[InuFan05]

Sometimes, the behavior of some characters makes me realize something about myself, whether it is about my personality or how I approach something, and that, in turn, causes me to change. Another important thing is the thematic elements. I'll watch an anime and not notice a theme, but when I try to look back analytically a little later, I realize something about myself or about life, which causes me to have a totally different view point about everything, once again. I actually have to say that I feel like I've become more perceptive in that regard, although, naturally, a series can only open your eyes or comment on so much...

Welcome to the NHK caused me to become a hikikomori for a couple weeks once. I didn't leave my dorm room except to shower and use the bathroom for a good two weeks. A side effect of this behavior was a small nervous breakdown when I figured out that the end of the semester was coming up and I had papers to turn in, which I didn't do.

[DirkDiggler777]

Well...once...i wanted a beer because i saw an anime character grab a beer labeled "BEER" from the fridge. It looked pretty good. Too bad noone sells "BEER" beer.

[PreschoolXXX]

I follow C.C.'s example and become immortal.

[LuisReallyHatesYou]

Oh she knows >.> lol

[Bthug]

Yea i have to agree with you, cause i do the same thing. kind of reflect on my opinions and views of certain things. And sometimes i do find my self saying quotes or naming things in my life after things in anime.

[InuFan05]

Oh cool! And yeah, sometimes I find myself quoting a certain character or acting like one... It's really funny how your behavior becomes somewhat unconscious there...

[Josie_eats_babies]

I'm pretty sure the only reason my couson bought a Vespa was because I made her watch FLCL with me. She says she bought it for economic reasons but I'm calling bs.

That's not being a hikikomori, that's being a shut in.

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare defines hikikomori as people who refuse to leave their house, and isolate themselves from society in their homes for a period exceeding six months

Not that any kind of reclusive behaviour can't be considered serious, i'm just saying it was not to hikikomori extents.

Anyway, most kinds of media effect my personal life in some ways.

Most notably, relationships forged from a common interest in said thing.

Look, considering I didn't leave an area of about 50 feet from my door for a few weeks, yeah, not exactly healthy. Maybe it wasn't the longest term thing in the world, but it was a serious problem.

[DangerHikky]

I made no attempt to discredit that you were dealing with a potentially serious problem, I actually said that any kind of reclusive behaviour could potentially be considered serious, I was mostly just making a correction about the usage of the term.

[-Gaynor79-]

Well it sure seemed that way.

[astronomy2004]

Anime girls have raised my standards too high so I stopped dating.

[cidthekittyisfun]

i tried the whole bewbie bucket thing before from bleach.


didnt work

[Foley_is_Good_149]

Did you know about that before the beach episode aired? Otherwise, I would think the water, even where you live, would be a bit chilly by the time of year that aired. That is, unless you tried it with your boyfriend pouring a glass of warm water, hopefully while you were standing somewhere that the mess wouldn't matter.

[cidthekittyisfun]

nah bewbie buckets never crossed my mind before the beach ep
i tried it in the shower >_> i havent been to the beach since summer so i cant try it there =( ah well maybe once the weather warms up i can try again <_<

[Foley_is_Good_149]

When did you try - before or after using any soap or shampoo? Maybe the presence of soap or soap residue would make a difference.
