If nothing more than just a simple litmus test for how your brain interprets the world...

anybody who could look at Sonic the hedgehog and become "inspired" HAS A DYSFUNCTION BRAIN

But then again, the same can be said for anything anime

ANIME AND MANGA:
INHERENTLY ANTITHESIS OF CREATIVITY

how can you possibly be creative when the entire premise is "Make everything look exactly the same"?

The greatest fear of any anime enthusiast is BEING DIFFERENT

That is inherently the complete polar opposite of creativity

ANIME: finally, entertainment for people with no creativity whatsoever
