I just began to watch Paranoia agent, and it's really making me think about stress and troubles in life and how to deal with them.

It's like, Suicide is a solution, just not a reccomendation, ya know what I mean?

I still have a hard time believing that I've opened my mind merely watching a japanese cartoon show


But what about any of you floating out there in cyberspace? Have you ever been influenced by a show or comic so much that you decided to change your ways? I hope I'm not the only one ^_^

I really hope that you won't turn to suicide to solve your problems.

But yes, anime does have the power to influence people in how they think. It's the same with anything--put something though prevoking in front of someone and they will think. Anime just has a lot of people who have something thought prevoking to say and let it out--which I think is good.

It's like the moral of the story, right? Meant to teach you a lesson and think on different subjects.

Well, I like Noien, it's Sci-fi, and adventerous.

I won't, just making a point. It's like a leading through example thing, it depicts what can (or will) happen and why it starts, that's how it got to me.

Okay, that's good!

And you're making ME want to watch that anime now! XD

^_^ It's worth your time. Go ahead and check it out if you want, ya just gotta approach it with an open mind.

i think there are alot of thought provoking animes out there. its hard to choose one for me but i thought anime's like monster, 12 kokuki, kino no tabi, and gunslinger girl,neon genesis evangelion and kare kano iare the most memorable ones for me. lol i cant believe i considered a shojo anime as thought provoking but it really did made me think of how people hide behind masks to be accepted by others.

Wow! you're on a roll ^_^ you just replied to almost all of the forum topics here! Good response, too, I liked monster alot, too

i'd have to say death note...its like wow, i wonder what i'd do if i obtained that kind of power, would i use it like light did? if so would i slip up and be put to death/do it better
it makes u think about just what you would be capable of doing/what towhat extent the end would justify the means to change the world for the better
