Watching A Place Further Than The Universe plus some positive experiences at around the time I first watched it made me appreciate certain types of travel and going outside.
My rating history reflected it. Originally, it’s an almost-masterpiece 9/10. Now it’s my #4 best overall and a regular to-rewatch.
A long time ago I watched shounen only, I didn’t know any better. I randomly started watching Gintama and I realised that I liked the non-action parts a lot. It made me interested in things that weren’t mostly action and was the first step of me getting into slice of life anime. And SOL made me more interested in daily life and existing. That sounds ridiculous but hey.
Weird recommendation, but Blood Blockade Battlefront. Kinda action-y, but also largely surreal urban fantasy slice of life.
How Heacy Are The Dumbells You Lift got me to start working out.
Bocchi the Rock made me buy a guitar.
I’m impressionable I guess
How Heavy Are The Dumbells You Lift got me to start working out.
How Heavy Are The Dumbells You Lift wasn’t able to get me to start working out - because I was already working out.
I’d imagine Umamusume got plenty of people into either IRL horseracing, or running.
Personally, I watched the more hyped races, including some that haven’t been adapted to anime.
My favourites include:
Sword Art Online came out either before or around the same time Oculus did it’s kickstarter and I’ve been a VR degenerate ever since.
I never even thought about VR before that, but the idea that I could one day be totally immersed in a world where I could do anime level stuff is something that still sounds so cool. I’ll probably be dead before we get SAO level VR, but some experiences like VR in racing games are already incredibly immersive.
Every time Overlord gets a new volume release it gives me the itch to play an MMO again. Thankfully I’ve been WoW-free for years but it did get me to try FFXIV and GW2, the latter of which I’m still casually playing to this day.
I loved A Place Further Than The Universe! I feel that Run Like the Wind had a similar vibe, with very likeable characters that I was rooting for the whole time.
Kind of the opposite for me. Blue Gender made it very clear to me that I have no interest in giant bugs that only die when you shoot them in the clitoris.

I think the closest I’ve come is wanting to go camping after watching Yuru Camp. I bought a bunch of camping stuff, arranged with a friend to go camping, and then he flaked out and we never went. I used a bunch of it with my wife recently though (over a year later), so at least it wasn’t wasted.
Thanks for posting all these discussion questions btw.

Yuru Camp really made me want to get a vespa, too.
