Anime has taught me that Mark Twain was right: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. I appointed you to be a prophet of all nations."

Anime has taught me that if at first I don't succeed, it's probably due to the clothes I'm wearing. A change of costume will give me the strength I need to defeat my foe.

dogs can make excellent emergency food sources as long as you can keep them
inside the apartment.Also taking over the city can be fun as long as the opposition is just as nutsy as you're side.

Anime has taught me that it is ok to have a long talk with your nemesis before fighting to the death.

Anime has taught me that the hero can always pull of a near impossible shot, such as in the middle of a pack flip etc… But the enemies will never hit the hero while he stands perfectly still in an open area.

Anime has taught me that young girls make excellent assassins.

Anime has taught me to avoid girls who ride a Vespa and use a guitars as a weapon.

My brother on discovering that I got my little sister addicted to anime
brother: Your turning Jennifer into a geek.
Me: You are also a geek, you just happen to be good at hiding it.
brother: No I’m not, I just happen to like Star Wars.
Me: Alright, how many squadrons of fighters does a Star Destroyer carry?
brother: Is it a Victory, or a Imperial Class destroyer?
*long pause*
brother: I think I just proved your point.

Case Closed has taught me that:

NOBODY in Japan knows CPR.
If you're going through a divorce, one of you won't live.
Japan's mortality rate is 50%
Detective Meguire is the ONLY homocide detective on the police force.

Anime in General has taught me:

If you have dark brown hair and blue eyes, your outlook on life really sucks. (See: Shinji Ikari, Naota Nadaba and Renton Thurston)

The main character is basically invincible unless some people come back with an OAV and end the story with something like disease.

You can wear the same clothes everyday.

Boys may only have a black dot for an eye.

People morph into pin-size versions of themselves in intense emotion.

You can fly if you're Goku or one of his friends.

If you're lucky, your dog may change into a magical staff on command.

I also learned that bullets can never touch you if you walk slowly toward the 100 villians. You have to look cool while you do it though or it won't work.

Except when theyre angry, when heads can expand.

No matter how big a persons head is their neck can hold it.

falling through time is realy cool to watch. And you actually fall.

The master/teacher/mentors invincible enemy will be defeated by his weakest student.

I learned that their are only two types of Japanese women.

Sweet, Shy, and Naive

or

Eternally On PMS.

Many are a mix of both, and possess the ability to do a Jekyl and Hyde type switch at the drop of a hat.

I've learned that:
-no matter how strong you master sword-fighting friend is, she can still die by falling off a flight of stairs.

-speedo-wearing cyborgs ROCK.

-rubber can break almost ANYTHING.

Al Khan is a blight on society who needs to be removed from power immediately.

Couldn't have said it better. Well, I could, but it'd involve alot of yelling, spewing, swearing, and possible bannage.

I learned that their are only two types of Japanese women.

You forgot the third:
-Endlessly greedy and unbelieveably abusive. =)

Not seriously : o.o That ANY bad guy, will either be :
1. EXTREMLY HOT
or
2. EXTREMLY UGLY

Which is he?:

Unless your body is made of rubber or metal, in which case you'll ALWAYS be hit, but to no effect.

If the show is named after you, victory is always yours.

But Naruto lost like, most of his fights. >_>

Final victory then.

Rivals are always three steps ahead.

NEVER insult someone haircut.

Opponents gradualy become more powerful to match your skill, exept your nemesis who always leaves without killing you.

Rules always have loopholes or life-changing lessons.

Anime has taught me that giant robots are, often enough, sentient. And that the hero can't hold their ground 'till their first upgrade when they beat the SNOT out of the weakest enemy who used to pwn them with ease.

Notable sources: vvv

Sentient robots: ---

All the true G.U.N.D.A.M. units in Gundam Wing.

Nirvash Type ZERO and Type theEND in Eureka 7.

Upgrades: ---

All upgrades in Digimon Frontier.

Nirvash Spec. II in Eureka 7.

Oh yeah, that, and ninja PWN firearms with powerful ninjutsu and always come out in public dressed as all-mighty ninja. And that energy orbs aren't thrown, they're punched with... Naruto......

Rasengan and Chidori should be missile strikes too T.T

That's an impossible statement. First off there are no firearms in Naruto. Second, you have to think logically. If you had a Navy Seal with your standard Sniper Rifle about 500 meters away, they could easily shoot any ninja in the head.

...You just made my point... ...no weapons because ninja take away the need for that technological evolution.... as for sniper-rifles, let's say NAruto and Hinata had a kid and Naruto gave the kid his Kyuubi... 1.) Byakugan, seeing EVERYTHING 2.) Kyuubi... dodging bullets...

Which brings me to another point...

I've learned from Naruto that energized Jinchuuriki can dodge shuriken in mid-air JUST by being super-fast.
