Lessons Learned from Anime

-If it's bothering you, scream at it. If that doesn't work, you have a lot of work ahead of you.

-If you can't explain it, it's magic. It's ALWAYS magic.

-Ninjas can wear whatever they want, stealthy or not.

-If you're in a fight and someone does a weird pose, prepare to die.

-The main character will always be strongest. If the show is not about you, stop trying to beat them.

-Everything always happens within walking distance of the main characters. If it's set in the modern world, it's *always* Japan.

-If a character says they don't care about their teammates, it really means "SOMEBODY PLEASE HUG ME!!"

-If you don't know Japanese, it's unlikely you'll ever figure out what some things mean.

-If the hero gives you one chance to surrender, take it.

-Extras are fair game to any villain.

-There's always that one character that is not strong, funny, or otherwise significant. Deal with it, you can always draw yourself killing them.

-Every anime has a character that seems indestructible, but the heros will make up some random tricks to beat them. Always.

-There's always at least one character that starts out as pure evil, but ends up a hero.

-Anime hair doesn't work in real life. Just don't try.

-Only in an anime can you see a guy with long hair wearing pink clothes and not judge him.

-Three things you never underestimate: plants, light, and gibberish.

-Even the weaker, goofy characters get their moments.

-Everyone has a backstory. *Everyone.*

-Shirtless guys are infinitely stronger than guys wearing shirts.

-Old people are not always frail. Watch yourself.

-Heh, don't worry, I just have this giant gaping wound that would kill a normal human. I'm fine.

-Anything is possible. No, seriously. ANYTHING.

-Nobody ever hits their peak.

It's fine to post this somewhere else if you like it, just make sure you say where it came from. And if you got these references, please be my best friend. Thank you, goodbye.
