Really?

I saw it when I was like 8 on Toonami, before they edited it, and jus thought it was the coolest thing EVER. Also I later came to like for being the only actual "war" series in Gundam, and not about the big "hero" Gundams but about the the on-the-ground actually fighting the fight soldiers.

The more likable you are in a series or anime (or aanime-esque) video game, the more likely you are to be killed.

When a female is scared she will ball her hands into fists, draw them close to her bosom, and close her eyes tightly while looking downwards subsequently making some sorta reamark.

The main characters biggest threat in the said episode will fuck his shit up right outta the gate. After some training and "meditating" he will come back and either tottaly wreck the guys shit, or just barely win with a powerful new move. *Cough* Goku vs Freza *cough*

...Do not anger the Japanese, thats what I learned. I'm serious, I went to San Francisco last summer to visit my cousin. I was just walking around Chinatown and I saw this perfectly unassuming asian guy step out onto the street in a business suit, plant his feet, and just flex and scream. All of a sudden bits of sidewalk are levitating off the ground, the guy goes from asian man to Aryan fireball as he breaks the sound barrier down 5th ave leaving me, an incredibly confused, suddenly deffened white boy to gather up scraps of what used to be his clothing and seriously consider switching his major to something other than PHYSICS! I MEAN COME ON, THAT WOULD'VE MADE EINSTEIN'S FUZZY LITTLE GERMAN HEAD SPIN!

No matter where you are the recurring annoying girl that you know will always show up on a stage that comes out of the ground.

Thanks you Ouran High School Host Club for this life lesson.

I will admit it is the only Gundam series that I will ever watch again. The writing was sheer gold.

-Gundams aren't invincible
-Your enemy is fighting for the same reasons you are
-Zakus are actually a challenge to bring down
-The people who weren't so lucky to end up as mobile suit pilots actually aren't just cannon fodder
Along with several other things.

Gunshots don't kill unless you've emptied a John Woo clip.
That's impossible, you know John Woo clips don't run out of bullets! :p
I think that may be the idea.

If an anime has swords and guns in it then you can guarantee that anyone with a gun will get killed first no matter what. Final Fantasy: Advent Children was guilty of this.

Also:

Being a qualified marksmen is no longer a required standard for military an police forces. Rather, you are expected to make up for your inadequecies with sheer volume of bullets.

If said sword-weilders don't get you first.

Jackasses.

Drama summons at least a gentle gust to blow your hair around. Conversely, awkward situations temporarily still the surrounding atmosphere.

Even if you're fighting god himself, you can always get strong enough to defeat him through hellish training and/or sheer determination.

When sexually harassed, women temporarily become strong enough to send men into space. Screw you, NASA, we can just accidentally grope this woman and get punched to the moon.

Having large eyes does not pose a disadvantage in getting debris stuck in them more often nor do they increase ones field of vision.

Hair cells naturally produce distinctively colored chemicals and retain them after death, hence the odd hair colors. They are stiffer as a result, hence the odd styles.

Female school uniforms in Japan tend to have rather short skirts, ranging from practically normal in Azumanga Daioh to please-violate-me short in Sailor moon, possibly even shorter in ecchi/hentai.

If an activity with a focus on collecting is popular, it is extremely popular and has great influence over culture and world events, possibly to the point of supernatural intervention.

The first girl you meet is who you are going to end up with [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FirstGirlWins].

If you tend to fight a lot, conflicts will not be resolved quickly. The fights themselves can be quite lengthy, saying nothing about the chain of obstacles and events you will run into along the way to your goal.

Young cute girls are cute and innocent most of the time, but can be extremely murderous and disturbed {I.E. Elfen Lied).

During moments of asskicking and climax, kickass music will play.

Male-to-female genderbenders are attractive and hard to switch back to male [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitle5bsrye9z?from=Main.MandysLawOfAnimeGenderBending].

While talking, transforming, or in many cases charging, no one will attempt to attack you.

Giant robots are feasible and used in favor of remote means of warfare.

Guns are useless. Note that this is by no means exclusive to anime.

Many girls suffer from a very sudden, extreme case of bipolar disorder (I.E. Tsundere). Conversely, some may be the opposite and show little emotion (Rei and Yuki are very good examples).

Heroes are innocent kids, brooding emos, or muscleheaded/very determined badasses. For some cases substitute "brooding" for "whiny" with emos (I.E. Shinji at times, though as far as I'm concerned some of that whining is justified and he gets too much hate).

There are more, I just can't think of them right now.

Super powers always automatically come with either strong morals or split personalities.

you always need to let the other person get to their max power before you kill them

sword > gun (exception Cowboy Bebop)

all peons can't aim

all hero's can magically aim

no matter how ill matched the main characters are they will wind up together

tentacle grape soda is delicious

if your best friends ever leaves you, and isn't truly dead, he will be evil the next time you see him

the bitchy girl has a good heart (and huge boobs)

all japanese women have huge boobs

if you arent black the color of your skin is white

saying something louder and longer makes your move more powerful

all Ninjas are fucking retarded

the more ninjas there are the easier it is to kill all of them, if there is one ninja all alone GTFO

rape is a wonderful greeting

blonds are more powerful than any other type of hair

their is always another demension

the main character dies in the end

playing a childrens card game is perfectly acceptable at any age

it's OK to cheat

no matter how big the tits are it is always perfectly acceptable to never where a bra

getting shot is a minor inconvienence

if it doesn't blow up, it aint dead

the more swords the better

Wearing an eyepatch automatically gives you the ability to hit a man-sized target from three miles away.

No matter the situation Law enforcement and Soldiers are all cannon fodder for the villain and his entourage.
