Some watch anime and get entertainment; others watch anime and observe, engaging cognitively.


Watching anime can also teach, motivate, and make us feel emotions (sadness, anger, joy, fear, disgust, etc.). Even if your intention is only entertainment, anime can have an impact, thanks to the unconscious mind.

Now—
1. Share your insight about watching anime—does it really have an impact on the human mind?
2. Share with us if any anime changed you in any way—was it positive or negative?
3. When and why did you start watching anime?

My answer:
1. It does.
2. It changed me positively. It helped me overlook injustices against me, helped me think & consider more perspectives, and helped me improve my English as F (that's the biggest help).
3. Unanswered.
