Welcome to the NHK. It's partially the reason I became a writer.
That's awesome. :D
Ah, but for real, Final Fantasy X just overkilled my emotions bout ten years ago. I felt human again for the very first time since I was 5 while playing it.
Then Shadow of the Collosus, when it came out, totally fucked me up in the head, and my dog got ran over by my brother while I was playing it. Didn't pick it back up till 2 years after that.
The Place Promised in Our Early Days made me pick up the violin, and I haven't looked back.
Neon Genesis Evangelion, when it first got shown on Adult Swim, was the very first anime I fapped to unwillingly. When I saw the film and the infamous hospital scene, I tripped out because I felt the same way.
The very first installment in the Final Fantasy series made me want to write fantasy fiction, which I didn't start doing till 7th grade. I opted out for more realism writing in my more mature teens, but I still long for it.
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles bonded together me and so many people at my old school, and I was so happy that I introduced them to it. (Until it ended)
XXXholic deepened my understanding of profound writing, and I love every second I read further into the spirtual realm.
Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga only) made me interested in a certain crimson samurai, and I now know much about pre-1800 japan because of it.
My first girlfriend introduced me to Chobits, and that was love at first sight.
More later~
For me it would have to be Medaka Box, the main villian kumagawa misogi thinks so much like me it's scary (and if you know what he's like in the book than it is literally scary), it's the first time i've read a manga with a relatable character.
It all began when I was like 4 years ago: super mario world and a link to the past made me the games addicted I am now. Then, with final fantasy 8, I came to love RPGs, but still knew nothing about japan. Anime were "cartoons" broadcasted on mtv. The anime that changed my life was gurren lagann, as it was my first fansubbed anime and probably was the beginning of my otakuness
Later clannad and NHK helped me sinking further in my two years long depression
The anime didn't change my life...
Nothing has changed my life; the most I could say is Touhou introduced me to mai waifu, but that's about it. Creatively, all my artistic decisions were things I came up with myself and were just refined when I later saw other sources using them, like how my use of text in my cartoons was refined by Akiyuki Shinbo.

It will when the feds arrive.
A great many anime have changed my life or had an impact but the most profound one was the OP song to blue gender. It inspired me to move forward with my life and quit my medicine when i was about 20 or 21 been better off eer since well aside from stress. Also Arjuna did for me what avatr did for a friedn of mine awoke a whole new level of respect for nature and life. Well natural life aside from keeping some of each genpool and society alive humans can die for all i care.
Animes like NHK or Paranoia Agent chaged the way i think now.
An the hentai....ho, the hentai made miracles in my life....
I don't believe an anime/game ever changed my life but I really like awesome male MC's in any series. They make me more manly.

That's literally the only thing that directly influenced me, but it's neither an anime nor a game, so I didn't bother mentioning it.

But it is an animation, and the word "anime" in Japan means "animation", so in a very roundabout and rather stupid way it counts.
Then there's episode 7.
I won't say any works of fiction changed my life, but changing the way I SEE life? Yea.
Silent Hill 2 installed several permanent characteristics of myself(or rather just made me realize it...?). When seeing James Sunderland sit there on the chair in the hotel room, with the TV playing the actual recording of him smothering his wife to death, the windows looking white bright and realizing that all the things he remembered since the beginning of the journey up until that point was all a lie he created in his head, I realize too that I'm not any different from him. I've become more wary and scared of being in a relationship: I'm too afraid of hurting and being hurt. These feelings did have some part in my last breakup, so much that I decided since then not to give love a chance for at least 15 years more. Until then, whores will be where I vent it out.
I'm glad I still haven't killed anyone... or have I...?
On a less scary note, Final Fantasy VIII made me realize that being a pessimistic emo loner asshole who tries to act cool all the time ain't the cool thing to do. So, while I still can't help being a loner, I tend to try and make people laugh whenever they're around me ever since then. I went from being Squall Leonhart to a more handsome Rowan Atkinson(hey, I didn't add the handsome part, honest! lol). Does being Mr Bean lowers my cred? Absolutely. I just don't give a fuck though.
well since i am lil older i have to say besides the masterpiece akira there is all the leiji matsumoto and go nagai shit, ashita no joe, samurai troopers, daitarn 3, voltron, mazinga, jetter, and all the eightees cartoons, then eva, metal gear solid, berserk, video girl ai, dna2, blame!, slam dunk, FF ahhh to many i am basically making a list of all the shit that i love haha
Nothing really "changed" my life,
but Ace Combat Zero changed my outlook on how I look at mercenaries and soldiers.
Serial Experiments Lain
Texhnolyze
Shin Megami Tensei - Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner

Full Metal Alchemist convinced me to be atheist.
