Watching A Place Further Than The Universe plus some positive experiences at around the time I first watched it made me appreciate certain types of travel and going outside.

My rating history reflected it. Originally, it's an almost-masterpiece 9/10. Now it's my #4 best overall and a regular to-rewatch.

I'd imagine Umamusume got plenty of people into either IRL horseracing or running.

Personally, I watched the more hyped races - including some that haven't been adapted to anime yet.

My favourites include:

  1. the 2013 Arima Kinen featuring Orfevre and Gold Ship
  2. the 2020 Japan Cup which pitted 3 triple crown winners against each other: Almond Eye who had 8 G1 wins under her belt, Contrail who was an undefeated triple crown and Daring Tact who was an undefeated triple tiara.

A more meta one is Gundam: Witch from Mercury starting my real interest in anime.
