Inspiring Anime Quotes

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone’s circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It’s not chance or fate. It’s the choice you made.
(Black Lagoon)

Remember. You can feel it if you hold your hand against your chest. It belongs to no one. It’s our pulse, yours and mine. This is what brings us to the truth. It’s what proves that we are the very world itself. Follow your instincts. The answer is already there.(Ergo Proxy)

There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliche, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I spit on perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for that person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as us, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antinomy.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri (Bleach)

The world’s not perfect, but it’s there for us trying the best it can. That’s what makes it so damn beautiful.
Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don’t desire, but they’re inevitable, we have to face them. It’s what being human is all about.
Jet Black (Cowboy Bebop)

I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn’t so bad after all. As long as it takes you forward.
Osaki Nana (Nana)

Everything happens for a reason. The daily tragedies and misfortunes are all meaningful events, leading toward an ideal conclusion. With that in mind, there probably isn’t really any meaningless misfortune.
Fuwa Aika (Zetsuen No Tempest)

Motivational Anime Quotes

A path is something you create as you walk it. The ground you’ve trodden hardens, and that’s what forms your path. You’re the only one who can create your own path. Walk on your own. If you haven’t given up yet, that is.
Cross Marian (D.Gray-Man)

Stand up and walk. Move on.
After all, you have perfect legs to stand on.
Edward Elric (FullMetal Alchemist)

What is important is to know fear and yet take a step forward.
Rosette Christopher (Chrono Crusade)

Let me ask you the reverse. How is it that you can give up so easily? [exaggerated sigh] I can’t understand that…attitude! “It’s bad luck! I have no choice!” People who passively accept their fate…because no one knows their future, least of all me, so I don’t dare put things off. I have to do what I can, while I can still do it, so…I’ll be kicking and screaming, ’til the very end.
Rosette Christopher (Chrono Crusade)

There are only two paths you can choose. You can sit quietly and be selected out of this world, or you can adapt and change!
Gai Tsutsugami (Guilty Crown)

If he rips my arms off, I’ll kick him to death. If he rips my legs off, I’ll bite him to death! If he rips my head off, I’ll stare him to death! And if he gouges out my eyes, I’ll curse him from beyond the grave!
Naruto (Naruto Shippuden)

Bring on the hardship. It’s preferred in a path of carnage.
Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)

I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!
Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)

Strength isn’t just about winning. Even if my attempts are pathetic and comical, and even if I’m covered in the mud of my defeat, if I can keep fighting and look up at the sky as I lie on the ground, that alone is proof of true strength!
Haruyuki Arita (Accel World)

The Secret of the Near 30 Year Popularity of the Famous “Knights of the Zodiac”

The Secret of the Near 30 Year Popularity of the Famous “Knights of the Zodiac”

What Anime Is Hugely Popular in South America?

Do you know the property that has sold 34.4 million units, and has a television anime that has been broadcast in 80 countries? It is “Knights of the Zodiac”. “Knights of the Zodiac”, which does not only have a huge following in Japan and other countries, is particularly popular in South American countries like Brazil, Mexico and Peru. As for why it is popular in South America, we receive analysis from the professor of psychology Yoshihito Naito who himself loves reading “Knight of the Zodiac”.

＞＞Movie "Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary" special feature

“In South America, the Inca Empire and the Andean and Mayan civilizations once flourished. Additionally, in those civilizations curses and mystical powers were appreciated. They placed importance on the movement of the sun and believed they were descended from the stars. Modern South Americans also know this, and it could be said that “Knights of the Zodiac”, with its theme of the power of mystical constellations, took root in fertile soil.”

The world view of“Knights of the Zodiac” was in a easily acceptable climate, but are there any other reasons for the spread of its popularity?

“There are the three big festivals of South America, the Rio Carnival in Brazil, Inti Raymi in Peru and the Carnival of Oruro in Bolivia. In these festivals, it is so lively that the blood tingles. For people who like that kind of festival there is a comparative analysis that they like fist fighting. In the battles of ‘Knights of the Zodiac’, they don’t use weapons, they fight using their fists. That hand-to-hand fighting can be thought of as a reason for its strong popularity in South America.”

The themes of constellations and space drew in South American readers, and then the battles that took place without using weapons got that Latin blood moving. The result Professor Naito’s analysis is that is why it gained extreme popularity in South America,.

If I were to add one more thing, it is the popularity of Japan in South America. The reason is the Japanese immigrants that crossed the sea to South America won the hearts of the South American people by being nice, industrious and courteous. The trust in those Japanese people is extremely high, and the image of Japan is also very good. There is a halo effect, by which people believe that Japanese people are wonderful and Japan is wonderful, so things from Japan must be wonderful, and thus Japanese subcultures are easily accepted. “Knights of the Zodiac” could be considered a part of this chain and was favorably received.

The halo effect is a psychological effect where a single good point is found and because of that other points are thought to be good. In other words, what Professor Naito thinks is the thought that Japanese people long ago did good things led to the thought that their descendants must be creating good things, so things from Japan are easily accepted.

The Mexican and Peruvian foreign reporters in the Culturezine editorial department also told us that “Knights of the Zodiac” was popular. And with the new movie coming out, it will likely be becoming more and more popular.

■About “Knights of the Zodiac”
“Knights of the Zodiac” was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 until 1990. With a fantasy setting based on Greek mythology and constellation themed “cloths” (sacred armor), the television anime started airing nine months after the serialization of the manga which was uncommonly early at the time and captured the hearts of boys and girls. The work has had a strong following since the late 80s due to its charming characters and the various finishing moves of the knights.
