Have you ever felt inspired or motivated to do something after watching Anime/reading Manga?

This may sound lame or nerdy, but after watching an action based anime, I started up Martial Arts again. I ended up doing it for 3 years and was training for my blackbelt until I had to stop due to finances, full time education, after school music classes and a 20 hour a week job (sucked).

Watching some shows has also inspired me to make drawings and artworks. As an Art student that isn't very surprising though.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Anime inspired me to join the military.

Hajime no ippo got me seriously into boxing, I even start doing my own boxing session at my local gym but the effects worn off couple of months after I finish the series.

So you like, boxed yourself? You didn't have any mates that wanted to box you?

Sweet! I used to be into Kickboxing (not the same I know) but I like hearing about people into martial arts/combat sports.

It makes me think that the skinny anime freak sitting at home drooling over his imaginary waifu stereotype isn't so accurate. If anything, Anime makes me want to live/enjoy life a bit more.

Most of my mates are into basketball so there were busy training.

You need to go run up on them and have a surprise boxing sesh on the court.

Lmao. Punch them up, then dunk on 'em.
