Anime and manga. Without them, there would be no anime/manga fans (uh....yeah). Anyways, anime has played a part in everyone's life in some way. For example, almost everyone has seen Pokemon. Everyone should know.
Well anyways, on to business. I really have nothing to do, so I decided to put this one together for you guys. I love anime. Even though I don't watch anime/read manga as much these days, they made a big impact on my life. And saying that made my nerd points increase by +9. Level up. So, here we go: these are some things that I've learned from anime.
1) Bullets are your friends. (Katekyo Hitman Reborn)
You hear a gunshot, you duck. Obviously. Who wants to die? Tsuna certainly doesn't. But when Reborn pops a cap in his head for the first time...oh man. Can you say, "Super Tsuna?" He ran faster, he jumped higher, and he got the gut to ask his crush out. The next time you need to finish up your homework in an hour, or run to school because you're late, just turn to the green gun and get happy.
2) If you're nice to a girl, they'll come back later in your life to become your girlfriend/lover. (Kanon, Myself;Yourself, Shuffle, etc)
I KNOW I watched more than THAT to learn this lesson. There are way too many series with this message. BUT, don't think that I'm criticizing it. It is a good thing to put this in an anime. However, I have watched lots of series that had this lesson and so it just stuck out to me. I have no idea why this is the case or if this happens in real life, but it sure as hell happens in anime. I've probably seen at least 8 series like this. I just can't think of the titles right now. =\
3) Conversations ALWAYS go better with background music. (Lucky Star)
Did you know this? Well you've probably seen some TV shows or cartoons or even anime with people talking while a catchy theme is playing in the background, but you probably weren't aware of it. If you were, good job XD. Anyways, in Lucky Star, the characters always talk. Always. And if you're gonna make a series with just talking about things, you might as well spice it up with some catchy music. And you know what? It worked. It worked so well, in fact, that I actually went out of my way to download these themes, pop them in my iPod, and talk to people while listening to the music. It was freaken awesome, man.
4) When you're fighting, you can make a time warp whenever you want. (Naruto, Bleach)
Yeah, that's right. You have the power of time in your hands. How do people know this for a fact? Well, take a look at pretty much any episode of Bleach or Naruto. When two people are charging toward each other, they have this conversation that takes 5 minutes. They aren't MILES away from each other either; just few yards. So I guess that means slow-mo is a go-go.
5) Robots can pilot other robots. (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)
Based on the last few episodes of TTGL, this is a lesson to be learned by everyone. I mean...what's more awesome than a person piloting a robot piloting another robot piloting a huge robot that throws galaxies at you. Maybe something from another anime. If you can think of one, tell me.
6) Guitars make scars. Hey that rhymed. (FLCL)
I know about smashing guitars on the ground and stuff, but bashing it into someone's face looks deadly. Not to mention that...thing you get after you get hit. Some kind of horn that grows bigger and bigger until it rips out of your head and turns into a robot. So...don't do that. It looks painful. But if you really need someone to do all your work, then by all means use a guitar to make a robot for yourself.
7) Who needs blood? You can lose half of it and still fight! (Naruto)
I should have pointed this one out earlier, but it slipped my mind. Seriously, when they fight, they bleed everywhere. It's amazing how the average anime character has 9000 gallons of blood in their body. And when the whole battlefield is coated in red, they still fight as if they just started. That's crazy talk.
8. Just because it's in a star shape doesn't mean it's a star. (Clannad)
Of course everything starshaped is a star, what are you talking about? WRONG. If you say that to Fuuko, she'll smack your face with her wooden star. I mean, starfish. Yeah, that's out of the ordinary. But there's also a deeper message in here. Just because someone uses a rusty knife, doesn't mean that they can't make wood carvings.
9) Anime/manga series can't be separated from each other. (XXXholic)
It's not just XXXholic either. Other animes can have appearances in other animes. But most of the time it's just parodies. In XXXholic, people from Tsubasa appear. It's not a parody. O_O I was amazed when i read this part in Tsubasa. I mean...they should just merge the series together now right? XD Well, they're also good series on their own, too. Let sleeping dogs lie.
10) When in doubt, make out. (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
You're in a different world. You're being chased by gigantic blue things. It's only the two of you. You could possibly die. What do you do? Make out of course. At least, that's what Kyon did. I can understand why he did it; his classmates sent him clues. But what I think, is that he used those things as excuses to do it. And the timing...what a great guy...That was sarcasm, by the way.
