Tetsuwan Atom (Astroboy): many Japanese robotics researchers
and engineers have came into this field. As the consequence for this
movement, Japan has now the most advanced and practical robot
industry in the world.
Ace o nerae: it seemed that every single girl/woman in those ages
played tennis when the anime was running
Attack No.1: increased number of volleyball palyers
Captain Tsubasa: made soccer popular
As for Nodame, I predict that many Japanese students will be
in le Conservatoire national superieur de musique in 10 years.
Especially in the piano and conducting class. And It would be
fun to have a young orchestra like Rising Star Orchestra that
will play a wide variety of music, say, from J.S. Bach to Ryo
Kunihiko or Kanno Yoko.
