Well, physical ideals are often glorified in anime, so I guess there is that relation. As long as you aren't one of those moeshit retards who dreams of living in japan and getting a "qt 3.14 asian gf", watching certain anime is arguably far less degenerate than watching the kind of movies that are getting put out today.

Not an artform.

Shit thread, Anime is not an artform.
Faggot from DLSite promoting degeneracy, kill yourself.

I didn't know why at the time, but this scene reached me deep down as a kid the first time I saw it.

I can easily pinpoint 3 moments of life were anime inspired me to change.
When I was an unmotivated asocial 16 yo little shit, I saw Gurren Laggan.
Kamina was an inspiration, but even as young as I was, I picked up on the show's sub-message: he was not an hero. He was a dumbass that cared for Simon. That believe in him. After he's gone, Simon became one my role models. The will to punch forward, break through obstacles and loudly scream "I WILL".
Years later, I was 22, in college, meeting retarded slut after slut and wondering if I really should just go with a few of them for all that casual sex and retarded socializing about shit I didn't care about with people that cared even less.
At that time, I played Katawa Shoujo. I only did one route: Lily's.
Lily became a role model: not for me personally, but for the wife I want (and eventually found). Modest, caring and not afraid of being vulnerable.
My own life echoe'd that route: I had to grow some balls and realize the perfect girl wouldn't fall from the sky (or from Tinder and assorted junk). I had to give it my all and then some more when I found someone worth it. And that drive, that will to find happiness was paid in kind.
The later role model I found, long after the anime was out (but I had never picked it up before) was Edward Elric.
He was not a genius: he was resourceful. He didn't work too hard (didn't waste efforts) or too little (wasn't lazy). He had goals, he met obstacles with the same drive that had accompanied me and was humble towards his masters while seeking self-improvement.
That's his major drive: he knows what he can do is great but seeks to do better everyday.
You may start to see a pattern here.
Anime gave me three things I did not find in western media.
Take anything from the west in the last 20 years. Any series, book, music, film, ANYTHING.
Where do you find these values? Or do you find characters the resonate with them?
Western media is a barren wasteland of degeneracy and empty/shallow platitudes that amount to nothing more than a hole you can throw money in (fueled directed to Shekel-Aviv).
Honorable mention to Slavs: all the games/books and music I played from Russia and neighbors always gave me a strange alien vibe. I imagine they think in very strange and different ways compared to us, but that strangeness lead me to be inquisitive and always pose questions.
Seeing things in a new point of view is a byproduct of contacting with a foreign culture after all.
Inb4: Katawa Shoujo isn't Japonese, it's still anime-styled. And yes, I'm aware that there's many other shows far better than what I listed. These are just the one's that gave me a particular message.
