Things Anime Can Teach You

You certainly can learn a lot of things from anime. From those encouraging words to the many "truth-hurts" instances, a lot of circumstances that most anime characters face are similar to real life stories and are even more direct. Depending on the genre of anime that you're watching, you can get loads of catchy phrases and even priceless humor or punchlines. While it is recommended for parents to guide their kids when watching some anime, especially those with many violent scenes, popular anime are more directed to empowering the youth than lead them astray. 

Thus, let me share to you, some of the funny yet more of realistic instances that anime usually can show you:
  
Either love or friendship conquers all.
- Even if the main character becomes the most evil person, his love for a woman or his friends would always win him back to the good side. 
- There's always a probability that one of the villains or the leader himself would change sides all thanks to the power of love and friendship.
- This is perhaps one of the nearly-realistic aspect of anime. Just that, they tend to exaggerate things.. eheheh :P

Characters from any anime have more than enough supply of tears.
- Well, that's obviously one of the funny things about watching anime. Can't imagine myself "crying a river." And seeing the coolest or the funniest guy cry can truly touch your heart.

Most villains share the same goal - to conquer or destroy the planet due to various reasons; revenge is perhaps the common trigger.
- For those who want to conquer the world, I think the creator of such anime just want to remind us of the many corrupt government officials we have. Talking about lust for power.. *sigh*
- However, for those who want to destroy it, what's the point? It's either the villain is committing suicide or is secretly aiming for a new world. hmmmm :D

The fate of the planet rests in the hands of the seemingly normal high school student.
- A typical attribute for a young hero... Sometimes, the one who's always being bullied would eventually become the strongest person in the planet... :D

If a sister falls in love with her brother, somewhere down the line you will discover that they're not blood related.
- You can observe this not just from anime but also in most TV shows; particularly those targeted to adult viewers.
  
Smart people wear glasses. 
- These kinds of people in any anime would always appear to be the techie or genius friend of the lead character. They would always come in handy, especially when it comes to analyzing the opponents and stuff. :D 
- And usually, they tend to be weak. Either their character is weak to begin with or that they're just pretendng to be.

The martial arts expert or any strong/cool guy is always defenseless against the slap (or even from a "warning look") of the woman he adores.
- aha! Girl Power! lol

The more beaten the hero or the lead character is, the stronger he becomes.
- Well, this sure is true; not just in anime but also in real life and other TV shows. Some people believe that soldiers have more will or courage to fight and live the moment they got wounded.
