Everything I need to know, I learned from Anime and Manga...

DreamEmpress · Post by **DreamEmpress** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 4:01 am

Hi everyone! We have a thread similar to this in the Sailor Moon section. It went so well, that I thought that we could have some more fun and expand this to all anime and manga in general. This gives room for a lot more creativity.

You may use any anime (dub or sub) and/or manga. Answers can be as serious or outrageous as you want. No references to fan fiction, please. That caused a great deal of confusion last time. Also all sailor moon references please go the thread in the sailor moon section.

I learned....

-Wild hair colors are natural.
-Little girls are more than qualified to save the world.
-Men who are pure of heart will always be pursued by a group of women.
-Men who turn into little black pigs have terrible sense of direction.
-Your father has the right to engage you to many different women.
-Going to China will change you in more ways than you'd like.
-A goddess will always tell the truth, unless she is half demon.
-Aliens play tag to determine the fate of the planet.
-Computers can look like women.

- Everyone in the entire world - nay, the entire universe - speaks perfect, flawless Japanese/English/other dub languages, no matter how old you are.

- Hemorrhages aren't that serious of a medical problem if they are the result of a massive nose-bleed.

Never visit the Tokyo Tower because either it will be attacked by an evil being or something strange will happen during your visit.

-If you have had a close friend since childhood, and he/she is a member of the opposite sex, you WILL fall in love with him/her, you WON'T realize it until you're an awkward teen, and he/she WILL be completely oblivious.

Oh, and he/she will also crush on one of your other best friends.

-Teachers and Nurses are always hot, young, and usually sport sexy lingerie beneath their clothes.

-Be careful when you hug a member of the opposite sex.

-Kisses are the answer to everything. Kisses will power-down a steel angel, calm the pissed-off Celestial being living inside of you, and transfer healing energy.

~If there are robots of any kind, chances are that at least one will transform or combine with another robot... sometimes both.

~ When a guy likes two women, one is usually a violent bitch who'll beat him up if he shows the slightest interest in another woman (even though she vehemently denies liking him herself), and the other will be sweet, kind, equally attractive and much less violent. He almost always picks the violent one (Naru and Mutsumi from Love Hina are a prime example, as are to a lesser extent Mitsuki Sonada vs the superior in every way Mitsuki Rara from Dual)

~the Japanese love inconclusive and/or depressing endings

Everyone in Japan, except for gaijin and evil people, knows martial arts.

Dateless otaku will always encounter magical or scientifically enhanced women.

It's fine to carry a sword around with you anywhere.

People who are good at sports are GOOD AT SPORTS. A talented high school baseball player can hit thousand-foot home runs.

If you're thinking something important, shout it as loud as you can in the middle of the street.

Everything here is true.

Tentacle rape can be fun for the whole family!

-It's perfectly normal for petshop owners in Chinatown to be crossdressing men. No one will think it's unusual.
-No matter how farfetched, insense will always make you believe that an animal has a human form.
-If you give a chinese man sweets, he'll tell you anything. ANYTHING.
-No matter how many times a petstore sells animals that kill people, their will never be enough evidence to take them down.

- Unless you'd like to turn into a random animal or a member of the opposite sex, don't go swimming in random streams.

- It's okay to fall in love with robots and stuff that comes out of your VCR.

- Magical items are everywhere, and you might already have one in your possession.

- You aren't hallucinating; the cat's talking.

- You should always believe what random strangers tell you, especially if they tell you that you've got a magical ability you never knew about.

--That the world is a horribly fucked up place, and the safest option is to never leave your home.

-- All fictional characters are real.

--You see that little girl? The adorably cute one? She looks really innocent right? She's the fucking anti-christ, or might as well be at least.

--When it comes to yaoi, there is an asshole and a pansy. Also, only one of them starts off gay, and the other one is "converted."

--Lesbians still kick everything else's ass.

~No matter how strong the hero is, his much weaker wife/girlfriend can knock him out with a single well-placed punch/kick/mallet/wooden sword/etc.

Goddesses REALLY use computers.

If you speak English, chances are you don't have any emotion in your voice.

The words "Blah Blah Blah" actually are words used to communicate in another language.

Every male being is susceptible to nosebleeds.

If you're going to fight evil, you must do it in costume, regardless of whether or not the costume aids you in any way.

No matter whether or not you wear a mask in superhero form, chances are nobody is going to recognise you.

Pulling off eye masks/goggles and throwing them away gets you a free tiara and a weird glow.

Big eaters can be scary. Especially if they are small and have pink hair (and expressionless faces).

A cat will survive being fired from a large gun.

It's perfectly ok if your whole family is a bunch of thieves and your mother congratulates you for stealing a statue. There's abosuletly no reason for you to call the police.

The fate of the world can and will be determined by a card game. And if you're lucky, a Deus Ex Machina will allow you to bend the rules JUST enough so that you'll win.
