I'm more inclined to go with the guy that said "that's not how personality works." I suppose when I watch Code Geass or Death Note, I find that I have a tendency to be cautious and over-think scenarios. And I always create a contingency when working with people I don't fully trust.

I think I just notice it more, it doesn't actually make me that way. I just become aware of it.

I'm willing to bet that if people felt influenced by anime characters, it was more of just them becoming more aware of how they are in comparison to certain characters.

I thought of it as well but the question is: do the anime and manag affect our personality up to a certain degree i th efirst place or is this how we really are and these things only help us to draw these features of our character to the surface?

Perhaps to a certain degree then. Well, I grew up on DBZ anime and Naruto manga. I'm usually confidently optimistic and don't really back down from challenges even if I'm the underdog (in fact, especially), but I exhibited that before I discovered any anime :p

I still hold my position, but there are many ongoing debates of nature vs nurture and how certain things can affect development or reinforce them, so a combination of both is probably the reality of it.

I analyze things differently because of naruto, and coming into the new smash bros I used kakashi analytics to analyze certain moves and ranges of characters lol

No, but I have dropped anime/manga if I found them to be too depressing to continue, ex Black Butler. As much as I liked them they weren't uplifting and I had no hope of any sort of semi-happy ending. I have 3 episodes of Trigun to watch and still have not done so.

Much like any other form of entertainment I've found inspiration in the way certain characters overcame grief and sorrow, or overcame things in their life to go on and do great things. I like a good plot, generally the reason I watch is good story telling, not to try and make myself a certain character. I think people that let a show or book consume their personality and change them for the worse need therapy..That is all.

Well my question might refer to extreme changes but I wasn't necessarily meant that, I meant changes in general, either big ones or small ones.
