Things I've Learned from Anime

No matter how planet-destroyingly powerful you are, you can always get stronger.

[The Gravekeeper]

Landing in the palm of a giant mech's hand after falling several hundred feet will not result in you turning into a gooey red mess on the mech's hand

No matter how badly damaged a city is, it will be rebuilt by next week unless the plot demands that it remain in ruins

Beating the ever-loving sh*t out of someone will make them your friend

[AndyC]

The best shapes for combat vehicles resemble people and animals.

Your heroism can be measured by how high your hair sticks up.

Giant fighting robots should always have a less effective configuration, usually several smaller machines, and this is the preferred option for engaging an enemy.

Rebuilding a 200-year old shipwreck from the inside out is the most practical way to build a spaceship in a hurry.

The design of a seagoing battleship works pretty well in space too.

No matter what harm your enemy does, he could still wind up on your side.

Soy milk, spring water and sake come in virtually identical bottles.

But only if it's the the Yamato, - which must be a heap of rust by now, after being bombed to smithereens and remaining in saltwater for decades -so it's not in general.

But another thing I learned in Anime:

You can get as drunk as You like and will never puke.

If You are really tough, You can drink alcohol at any time of day and it will not slow You down.

"Funny" characters can eat enormous amounts of food in seconds.

Girls wear their schooluniforms nearly all the time.

Girls wear no bloomers with patterns.

If You smash someones face he will recover without change of appearance. -No crooked noses or so. -

It's real fun to have a brawl.

Animes!!!  My favorite form of noninteractive media entertainment.  I love amimes ins spite of the serious reality flaws of most of them.  I have been watching animes since my pre-teen years.  It all started with Speed Racer, G-Force and Star Blazers.  Those three share a very special place in my heart.  Now if you're wondering what my favorite anime tv show and move is here they are.  Favorite anime TV show is definitely FLCL.  Haruhara Haruko is my most favorite anime heroine of all.  She uses a richenbaker guitar as her main weapon.  I remember one extremely funny one where she was delivering Naota's lunch in his class then a monster appears.  She grabs a ukele from one of the students and tries to attack it but the attack fails.  She returns the shattered instrument to the student and says "Ukele no good."  I laugh so hard at that scene everytime I see it.  Its only too bad that show has only 6 episodes as it was just an experiment by Gainax.

My favorite anime movie?  So far its Fist of the North Star.  An apocalyptic tale.  I won't go into why I like this film.  I just want to get into the things I learned from animes

When women get sad or emotional, their eyes ripple.

Elderly men are comic relief.

The ultimate weapon for defeating the ultimate villain always has a bright blue aura. (Demon City Shinjuku)

Cars can move sideways (Riding Bean)

Candles can paralyze vampires (Vampire Hunter D)

The Richebaker guitar can kill any monster (FLCL)

When a supermonster, artificial sun or a massive supership is destroyed, it always goes in a blaze of glory (Star Blazers)

When a car is thrown off a cliff, the resulting explosion is massive (Speed Racer)

Girls as young as 16 can be big breated (Bleach)

[AndyC]

Really big explosions tend to shoot out horizontally in two directions and flash a couple of times before forming a fireball.

The abusive boss who always seems to be trying to get your ass killed really cares deeply about you, and just wants you to do your best.

When people move really fast, they stop moving completely.

All little boys need Ritalin.

An elite, carefully-chosen team on a dangerous mission will always have room for last-minute volunteers off the street.

No weapon is too big to be practical.

The Dead Sea Scrolls contain warnings about invading monsters.

Giant spaceships, fortresses and castles are frequently built with a second, better one inside, in case they're destroyed.

Many giant robots are designed so that any serious damage is felt by the pilot as intense pain.

No matter how rushed your repairs, there's always time for a cool paint job.
