CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

OK, what line do you think is the most memorable from all the anime you watch, and what about it makes it memorable?

For me, I would have to say (I know, sorry!) "Will you bear my child?", the most infamous line from the InuYasha series, given countless times by Miroku, the perverted monk. The reason I find it so memorable is because a) How often it occurs, and b) Sango's reaction to his asking!

To me, one of the lines that lodged in my mind was said by Haruka in RahXephon when she says "It's not as black as the devil or sweet as love, but it's coffee, right?"

I have quite a few lines:

"Well, Praise the Lord, Hello!"
- Wolfwood "Trigun"

"This world is made of...LOVE AND PEACE!!"
- Vash "Trigun"

"You GO big girl!"
- Wolfwood "Trigun"

"I musn't run away! I musn't run away!"
- Shinji "Evangelion"

"I have no intention on going camping and I don't need a freaking tent!!"
- Seji "Midori Days"

"Underpants...underpants...underpants...underpants..."
- Chi "Chobits"

"I'm sorry! I don't speak Japaneese!"
- Mio Hio "D.N.Angel" (Note: Spoken on the Japanese Track)

"Ummm...can I touch 'em?"
- Renton "Eureka Seven" Re: her wings

"Goodness gracious!" "Great balls of fire!"
- Azmaria and Chrono "Chrono Crusade"

"Inuyasha!!!!"
- Kagome "Inuyasha"

"Kagome!!!!"
- Inuyasha "Inuyasha"

"Kagome...you're my woman."
- Koga "Inuyasha"

A natural choice for me:

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth."
- Alphonse Elric, Full Metal Alchemist

I don't know why it has stuck with me all these years but...

From an episode of Ranma 1/2 after Ranma and Akane are at odds (again). Akane is coming out of a movie with her friends and as they talk about how romantic it was they ask Akane how she felt about it and she replies...

"She would have been better off with a dog."

I don't know why but I just found that response to be hilarious.

"Office Workers, Saving The World!" - Dai-Guard. (It's pretty much the slogan of the show... and a pretty thorough description of the plot, too.)

"I've caught you, Cat's Eye!" (Said innumerable times, with some slight variations, by Toshio and others throughout the series, Cat's Eye.)

"Once again I have cut a worthless object" (Goemon Ishikawa's catch-phrase in Lupin III).

"You are already dead." - Kenshiro, Fist of the North Star, followed by a lot of head-exploding-ness.

"MUDA DA! MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA ZA WARUDO! TOKI WO TOMARE! Soshite, toki ga ugoki desu. Rodo Rora da! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
-Dio Brando

"If anyone does not love the Lord, Jesus Christ, let him be accused. Oh Lord, come. Amen"

-Alexander Anderson - Hellsing Ultimate I

Ok, the funny thing about this is that he quotes 1 Cor 16:22.....in English.

Not Latin, not Japanese...English. And it is totally obvious that the voice actor has no idea what he is saying and is quoting phonetically. All the words are run together and it just comes off as comical to me because Anderson has his psycho grin the whole time.

Ed: "Let's go; this whole castle is about to explode."
Al: "WHY!?"
Ed: "'Cause I don't like it ~ I made some adjustments to the steam tanks."
~ from Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie ~ Conqueror of Shamballa

"One Truth will prevail." Conan Edogawa(AKA Jimmy Kudo) From Case Closed(AKA Detective Conan).

Having realized that I gave a line each from the 70s the 80s and the 90s, but nothing from the 2ks. I've decided to add a line that also appears in my signature:

"Ukele no good!" - Haruka Haruhara, FLCL.
Said in a Tarzan-like manner after she has confronted a monster without her bass guitar (her usual weapon) and instead whacked it with a ukele grabbed out of the hands of a bystander. Naturally, it had little effect. (Her bass guitar would have done a much better job.)

Although there's stuff in the show I don't like, I always found this scene from Excel Saga to be hilarious.

"Hello! Merry christmas, I'm Excel! You are a dog."

Said at the beginning of every episode preview: "Hagaren no Renkinjutsushi!" (translation: Full Metal Alchemist!) Just 'cause it's so fun to say

"Now don't you say that, honey, I'm sure your stalking material."

Said by Misami's mother from the Generator Gawl dub.

...And the context of this scene was....?

In this case, it's more like a joke you either get, or you don't.

"Oh no.. Ninjas.."

But seriousily.. My favorite was from that show BECK.
This little kid walks in and sais: "Mister.. Me and my friends want to start a band and this guy said to use a peddle like Pink Floyd... But I don't know who he is anyway." :lol:

Something like that anyway.

Aleolus wrote:...And the context of this scene was....?

The context is unrelated.


ZA WARUDO.


WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

....That was not weird.



Anyways, who could forgot Spike's "Bang!"?

I've been having a surprising amount of trouble coming up with a line to post. But for the sake of general oddity:
"Oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi!"
Ladd, Baccano

I should watch this again, listening more carefully. It threw me so much the first time.

My favorite lines:


"I can't believe they killed the main character in the first scene!!!"
-Some random guy from Excel Saga

"Try not to fall down Keiko. If you do I'm about 98 percent sure that you'll die!"
-Shinobu, Ninja Nonsense (2x2=Shinobuden)

"Bang."
-Spike, Cowboy Bebop

And of course the Trust Dance from Shin Chan. I can't put the quote here because it's somewhat raunchy.

Any of the kamina/simoun "who do you think i am" speaches from gurren lagann fit the bill for me.

Kino: It's pretty interesting, isn't it?
Hermes: What is?
Kino: The way that when someone expresses something, someone else always shows up to interpret it. Maybe the world is just a series of such events.

Kino: A whale's sigh... The dreaming shooting star... It felt like that's what they were singing. While everything out there is changing, the sound of these insects chirping echos up to the sky. That's what I'm listening to right now. That's the only thing that's for certain.
Hermes: What's wrong, Kino?
Kino: Sometimes, travelers turn into poets, Hermes.

Both from Kino no Tabi.

Yes, I'm serious and boring. XD But I honestly love these quotes.

Number 66: Is that all you have to say?! A prisoner sentenced to death is alive here! You should be more surprised! And if a head comes off and an empty suit of armor moves, you should be more like, "Kyaaaa!" or "Aaaahhh!" or "What's up with your body?!" or-

*Al takes off his helmet to show that it's empty, 66 freaks out.*

Number 66: Nooooooo! What's up with your body?!

- Full Metal Alchemist, Episode 20

Some of my favorite lines include:
When Lebia tells the other members of the AMP that there are only two places that haven't been hit by the blackout in the Silent Mobius ep.
'Alice In Logic Space'and they ask where the other one is she points to the obviously still operating AMP command center and says:"Isn't it
obvious?"
Another one is in the ep.'Lum Cheng'when they're leaving the aircraft
to combat the Lucifer Hawks and Yuki cattily says as Lum Cheng leaves:
"Good Luck Everyone...Well Almost Everyone!"

My all time favorite is in my sig:

"It takes an idiot to do cool things, that's what makes them cool" ~Haruko (FLCL)

Deedlit to Parn:"Did you think you were going to leave without me?"
