CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I'm sure most of you have seen the Laws of Anime. I think some new ones should be added. Here's one:
The Law of Lyrical Nonsense: Few anime theme songs have lyrics that actually make sense.

Actually, that applies to most music from Japan. I blame translation and cultural differences, m'self.

Moved to Anime.

The Law of Magic Girls:The girl who at the start of the series is a complete ditz and
klutz will not only end up becoming the leader of the magic girls but the princess
they have been searching for all season/series long.

The Law of Action anime shows: The person you would least expec must ALWAYS have a chibi pose.

Have you listened to many american songs from the 60s?
How about theme songs from TV shows from the 80s? Can you imaging how this would translate into japanese:

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could be so free. Flying away on a wing and a prayer: Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me.

How could that be received any better? I'll grant you it's not "Sora Mimicaki" but still....

Law of Spontaneous Combustion: Everything blows up. Everything.

The law of conservation of voice acting: the main characters who have the most lines have the worst dub voices. The main characters with the least lines have better voices.

Couple of Laws here:

1. Law of "No Die" You can get blown to pieces, chopped apart, sliced a thousand times and you shall not die (Bleach, Naruto, Gundam SEED, etc).

2. Law of "Bitter End" In the Coast Guard, when we handled line (that's rope for you land lubbers) the very end of it was called a "Bitter End" It seems that most all anime is like rope, it's just cut off to a bitter end. Not wrapped up or anything, just stopped.

Law of Parental Mortality: Every leading anime character is an orphan or only has one living parent. Or, said character has only one parent we know of, who is dead.

Wolverine's Law: Amnesia or repressed memories serves as a wonderful plot device.

Female clothing is made of paper.

and must be eather extreamly tight or nerdy looking no imbetween.

The shouting what I'm doing before I do it law- tha hero will shout out his next move and the villian will still be oblivious to it

the shouting what im donig b/f i do it law number 2- the villan will always shout out what he is going to do thinking it is ok b/c the hero is about to die oblivious to the fact that there is a possibility the hero could (and most of the time does) get out and now knows the "master plan"

Law of Female Characters present in Action show: At least stare into space randomly in one closer.

Law of Losers: If a male main character is a loser at the beginning of the series, then one or more extremely attractive female characters will fall in love with him by the series end.

The law of villian politeness: It is common courtesy that the villian must wait until the protagonist has finished his or her minute long transformation/attack to attack/counter attack.

Law of Seeing Yet Not Moving : the camera will stick closely on the victims enlarged, shocked eyes as a massive attack comes their way, but will do nothing to avoid it.

Law of the Curse of 4Kids : anything dubbed by 4Kids turns into suck, even if it was great in Japan.

Law of Anime Geeky Characters:The Geekier a male character the more and
prettier the number of girls who will fall for him as the anime progresses.

Second Law of the Curse of 4kids:The minute you actually read the manga or
see the original Japanese version either of two things will occur:1)the 4kids version will be cancelled or 2)the 4kids version will turn into a monster hit.

The Sap Rule - Any anime hero will risk everything up to and including his life for a cute girl he met two seconds ago.
The Law of Combustable Hometowns - The hero's hometown will eventually go up in flames at some point during the story, occasionally during the opening sequence.

Actually, that's the Law of Inherent Combustibility.

The Law of Spontaneous Combustion is that stuff blows up at completely random times. Completely random.

The We Need To Cover Up Because For The NA Releash Because Of Too Realistic
Looking Body Parts
This applies mainly to Zatch Bell.

Law of villian stupitity- when a villian tries to take a planet they only attack one area so that the hero won't have to worry about defending other areas

The Hero(ine)Will Turn Evil Half Way Through The Series And Their Best Friend Will Have To Work Hard To Redeem Them Law

This applies to shows like Silent Mobius and Fusihi Yugi where you know that sooner or later one of the good guys(usually female for some odd reason)is going to end up turning to the Dark Side for at least the next 4 episodes or even longer.And they're always more interesting when they do turn Evil,although when they come back to the Light they always seem to have some sort of emotional breakdown.

we cant forget that no matter what happens to a womens hair it stays purfect

rofl that one really is tru. most never even get phased even if it is wet
