-That having an outrageously large hairstyle makes you a main character.
-You can do impossible things with your face if you put enough emotion into it.
-You're badass for wearing a cloak and being a loner asshole.
-Having fins on your head makes you cool.
-Spandex is back in style.
-Capes make you either a main villain, or a hero.
-No matter how much armor(or lack thereof) a hero has, he will be knocked back like a pansy when a new villain is introduced.
-Falling off of a cliff or being stabbed in the heart means you'll be back with avengeance later if you're a villain.
-Corny introductions mean you'll never die.
-Fire is, by default, a main character's element, because the other's just aren't cool enough B) (Note, my least favorite element is fire, sarcasm > you)
-Having a katana means you're exactly like Kenshin B)
-Spending half an hour powering up makes you cool
-Glowy yellow stands for power
-Screaming like you're having an orgasm/constipated means trouble for the opponent
-Being the aforementioned angsty asshole makes you popular with not only women, but annoying wannabe fanboys, aswell.

...My list could go on, but I'm just too lazy to continue. :P

You can gain extra power in battle by setting yourself on fire.

Weapons that weigh at least 200 pounds can be wielded with one hand.

Hairstyles always defy gravity.

That certainly explains how Team Rocket never has any money, if Jessie has to keep buying hair gel.

What anime, games, and manga has taught me:

- You can disguise your whole being by just altering your outfit. *cough*Sailor moon*cough*
- Even if the bad guy gets blown up, it doesn't mean he won't have some come back later on.
- The good guys always win even if the odds against it are astronomical.
- A lot of heroes a lot of times are the most unlikely or homely looking people
- Kids and animals can be heroes, too!
- Villians won't attack during henshin/attack sequences (in Rockman's case, most of the human villians aren't smart enough to attack Netto directly...they just net battle. --;; )
- A lot of villians are either the loner/ mysterious types, the tough/ no mercy types, or the stupid/ always goofing up types.
- The hero always manages to find the villian/villians and stop their evil plot by accident or otherwise.
- A female characters can carry an immense array of weapons even if wearing nothing but a bikini.
- The old guys in anime are usually crazy, drunk, or just plain weird.

From what I learned in anime is this:

~No matter what things you did to your best friend if she is a girl, she'll still love you after a few years. (Even if you accidently stripped her naked in a school play infront of HUNDREDS of people!)

~If you have a sword, you are automaticly the strongest character in the series.

~The main character soon becomes the ultimate fighter after the 3rd Season.

~Angels can kill humans with a spark of lighting.

~You can fall in love with your siblings and they automaticly love you back.

~If you have glasses and brown hair, most people call you a pervert, because of a few mistakes you did early on in your life.

~If you have glasses and brown hair, it will be until you are almost 20 for someone to finally love you. >_< :grr:

~Huge Swords beat anything. Especially if it has fur on it.

~Demons are actually good guys.

~Shooting a fireball and shouting "Hadouken!" automaticly makes you cool.

~Unleashing a uppercut that launches you in the air really high and shouting, "Shoryuken!" or "Shinryuken!!" makes you a freaking God!

I have A LOT more, but I don't feel like wasting a month saying it all....

BOOYAKA!

I learned a few from anime.

- Amnesia could change you for better (or for worse).
- Love isn't restricted by family/friends. Love isn't even restricted by race.
- Unless you ARE perfect, your good traits are balanced by your bad traits.
- Loner/mysterious characters have skills you wouldn't think he knows, until he uses them.

These are the ones I can really remember...

-Friendship is very important. (If you watch Yu-Gi-Oh, and haven't realized that by now, no offense, but you are as dense as a block of metal.)
-It doesn't matter who you are; if you rise to the challenge, you can do it. Lan's just a kid, but he's saved the world 5 times.
-Not being there for your child can leave him/her scarred for life. (Eugene Chaud)
-Even if friendships don't last, you still have family. (Even when things went wrong with others, Lan and Megaman still maintained their strong bond.)
-Get your facts straight before you wind up hurting someone. (From the movie "Hitch", and in Battle Network with [spoil:33a99f4281]Alpha and Bass.[/spoil:33a99f4281])
-Never sell a good car in a lower class for a lame car in a higher one. (Sega GT. I sold a B class car that was really good in it's class, for an A class car that's pretty lame. I totally regret doing that.)
-Bad guys don't die. (Megaman X.)
-Never, EVER, call Edward Elric short.

-A monk will always have at least one fatal flaw. It's usually lechery.
-A short skirt will never be looked up just once.
-Power at the expense of your soul (i.e. Dark Chips, the Seal of Orichalcos) isn't worth it.
-When a hero uses said power, something goes horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.
-If someone dies and is brought back, it'll probably happen again (Goku, Zero)
-Fanservice is good.

Brothers (usually twins) usually represent opposite sides/elements.

Best friends always fight on opposite sides.

A lot of journeys (if not all of them) are done strictly on foot.

The main characters never get tired, but villains do.

Characters never change their clothes throughout their entire lives.

Peeping at half-naked women through a sniper rifle gives you extra life.
