Anything I ever really needed to know I learned from anime

Otaku Corner - Anything I ever really needed to know I learned from anime
Anything I ever really needed to know I learned from anime is written by Sid Narged.

Who says you never learned anything from cartoons? The truth is that anime is what it is; a representation of a story. Like a new age Aesop's Fables, with ninjas, mechs (giant robots), cat women, teenagers, hormones, and even tentacles; these are stories that bring up issues that are learnable, recognizable, and very much usable in everyday life. Compiling more than 25 years of anime viewing experience, Sid has put together many of the "real life" lessons that he has learned from anime, as well as some personal observations of the anime culture... Covering such topics as: How to get started watching anime, Universal personalities, Love and relationships, Battle of the sexes, Crime and criminals, Family and friends, School and aging, Good and evil, Chibi and ecchi, Sub vs. dub, and many, many more... These essays cover many lessons and themes, and you are sure to find the lessons that are in your favorite anime. Open your mind - Otaku-Sensei! BAKA!

The chapters are like general topics; Love, Relationships, Aging, School, War, Power, etc. Inside the chapters are subsections, these are the individual lessons. Chapter 12 is titled 'Power', the first subsection is 'All Powerful things must have a seal' Then there's a couple humorous (but true) paragraphs about how anything powerful has a seal proportionate to it's strength, and then he gives some examples. There were some funny sections (Why women with unnaturally colored hair are appealing), some serious ones (War and Good vs. Evil) and some that hit a little too close to home.
It was surprisingly well written, but not difficult to understand. It is easy to read & very informative. This is a book for the anime people, who are usually misunderstood, and he's obviously a person who can see things from their pont of view.

This book is a recommended book for any high schooler who likes anime, and may be having a tough time adjusting to life in general. This is turning into a book itself so...

Love Hina, Volume 1

Love Hina, Volume 1
At the age of 5, Keitaro Urashima and his childhood sweetheart promised to meet again as students at Tokyo University, the most prestigious college in Japan. Now 20, Unfortunately, he doesn't quite have the smarts, so he's failed twice or even remember the girl's name! Keitaro is studying to take it a third time (and doing horribly). His parents are sick of it, so they kick him out of the house. He goes to seek refuge at his grandmother's hotel, but he doesn't know it has been converted into an all-girl's dorm. So, through a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate events, he becomes manager to a group of girls who hate him, overwork him, and think he's a pervert. Stumbing into a fluke job at an all-girls dormitory may be his last chance. In the series that inspired the new hit anime, Love Hina proves that love conquers all. Even stupidity.

Love Hina, Volume 1
"Love Hina" was originally intended to be filler for a weekly shounen manga anthology, meant only to run until they could find something better to use up the space. Somehow, it managed to run long enough to take up 14 full graphic novels and was popular enough to spawn a twenty-four episode TV show, an OAV series, and a music video. The reason it did so is obvious: "Love Hina" succeeds in so many ways.

Love Hina, Volume 1Each character has their flaws and strengths, and is all-around endearing. Keitaro is a nice but chronically unlucky protagonist. He means well, but he just does so many things by accident that he's labeled a pervert. Those labels are justified, but completely inaccurate. Of course, the residents of the dorm are all fun and interesting. There's Naru Narusegawa, the pretty but slightly dorky girl with a violent streak; Mitsune Konno, a tricky, voluptuous and rather lazy woman whose nickname "Kitsune" comes from more than her fox face; Shinobu Maehara, a sweet, somewhat shy junior high schooler with excellent housekeeping skills; Motoko Aoyama, a boy-hating high school kendo master; and Suu Kaolla, a strange, foreign child genius with an endless arsenal of strange inventions.

Love Hina, Volume 1"Love Hina" is an excellent series for something for most. Being shounen, it caters to fanboys with fan service, ecchi humor, and cute girls. But for everyone else, there is an interesting plot, fun characters, lovely art, and a story you can truly invest yourself in. Buying the first volume will secure your buying the rest of the series.

Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Book 3 Collection

Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Book 3 Collection
The Complete Book 3 Collection Having survived the terrible battle with Azula, Aang face new challenges, as he and his brave friends smuggled in the Fire Nation. Their Quest is to find and defeat Fire Lord Ozai. Along the way they discover that Ozai has plans of its own. The head of the Fire Nation intends to use massive power of Sozin's Comet in the dissemination of his reign on a permanent basis in all four nations. Short on time Aang has a lot of bending to learn and no teacher to help him learn it. But his friends are there to help, and he finds unexpected allies deep into the heart of the fire Nation. In the spectacular four-part conclusion Aang must meet his destiny and become a fully realized Avatar or observe the world to go to smoke. This deluxe box containing all the action packed 21-chapter book 3: fire.

Avatar The Last Airbender: Book 3, Volume 1 is an unusual series of episodes of Avatar canon, as most programs are even more comic than usual. Not that the five shows included on this disc lack of seriousness: the long series is now young Aang (once and future avatar to gather everyone distances four countries) and their traveling companions behind enemy lines fire Nation, disguised as settlers. In "Awakening," Aang is raised - with a surprising headful of black hair - several weeks of unconsciousness (due to injuries sustained during a battle for Ba Sing Se) taken aboard a warship Fire Nation. Although there are old friends Sokka, Toph, and close to Katara, he urged everyone not to take matters into their own hands, ultimately, Aang feels compelled to go head to head with the Fire Lord before he is ready. The result forces Aang and the others to remain incognito, the creation of further episodes in which the heroes are forced to lay low and find something else to do their time, besides struggle against opponents. In "The Headband", Aang is part of a Fire Nation school, where his eyes are open to ordinary experience, such as dealing with a campus of intimidation and a difficult time of strict teachers. In "The Painted Lady", Aang, Sokka, Katara, and Toph visit an poor fishing village and have to repress their typical instinct to help to be recognized as foreign. "Sokka's Master," in any way the episode more enjoyable here, said Sokka feeling useless because it does not have powers similar to their peers. His solution: talk a master swordsman into taking him on as an apprentice. Finally, the most unexpected story of this collection is "The Beach" in which Prince ZUKO, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee - who are all back in the Fire Nation, too - take an awkward holiday but end up learning a lot about one another.

Meanwhile, ZUKO - expanded on his exile from the Fire Nation - discovers that his father host again, but only through the manipulation of his sister, Princess Azula said incorrectly that Zuko killed Aang. Fearing that his father did not know yet, ZUKO chooses not to tell the truth and works by killing Aang in silence. If ZUKO have been more of a complete human being during his exile, is back for another monster up duty to maintain his uncle, Iroha, in a dark, damp prison.

Avatar The Last Airbender: Book 3 - Fire, Volume 2 is the closure of the series as expected date of the transaction with fire nation. The five episodes on this disc continue those chapters of Volume 1, which Aang - the young avatar - and his companions Katara, Topher, Sokka and live seeped into the fire nation, awaiting the moment when an alliance of warriors air, water, and earth bring nations together to achieve the conquest firebenders once and forever. In Volume 2, the path to the days of the battle, in typical Avatar fashion, is full of intrigues and setbacks, but also various revelations that the series culminating in the expectation that much more interesting. "The Avatar and the Fire Lord" is the back story of the lead nation of fire came as a brutal tyrant in the world. Proves he is the best friend of nothing more than the previous avatar, the souring of their relationship led to the troubles young Aand is trying to resolve. (While Aang is finding all this out, fire-Prince nation ZUKO discovered his ancestors is more complicated than he’d imagined, and it is becoming a role to play in ending the war waged by his people.) "The Runaway "Is on a comedy about mischievous Toph getting into trouble to use her earthbending powers to win bets and earn a lot of money. "The Puppet Master 'is a frightening story of a water pipe bending old woman who delights Katara initially, but later proved to be a vengeful monster with frightening abilities to control people’s bodies." Nightmares and Daydream "is an anxious Aang unable to sleep and stop hallucinating before the battle, while a part of" The Day of Black Sun" sees the start of the allies' invasion of the fire nation. A lot of surprises in this last episode, with a Cliffhanger ending that makes the next volume Avatar desirable.

At the beginning of Avatar The Last Airbender: Book 3 Fire, Vol 3, things do not go quite the way one might have hoped at the end of the Volume 2. Aang - the young avatar - and his disciples Katara, Toph, and Sokka part of a broad attack against the tyrannical fire nation, and the hope of victory was high. In "The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse," but the circumstances turn hero fortune, forcing Aang, his friends and very young fighters fleeing the battle. Since the Assembly of the Western Air Temple, mourning should arrest adults left behind, Aang is facing an unexpected, would be combined: ZUKO, prince of the nation fire. Sokka and Katara refuse to accept Zuko's guarantee that he is really on their side (they were before it), but Toph and Aang are a little more receptive to the idea. Good stuff. In "The Firebending Masters," Aang accepts that Zuko could be the firebending mentor he needs to show him how to conquer the most elusive of the four elements. But it is not easy,Zuko's power is lost and must take refuge in a fire nation temple, where he can learn the origins of his native gift. The series of five stories on this disc ends with the two-part "The Boiling Rock", where Sokka and ZUKO infiltrate a fire nation maximum security prison in the hope of releasing Sokka's father. Trying hard to stay clandestine, ZUKO yet revealed the identity, it is not only the mission butZuko and Sokka's very freedom. Tensions are endless in the long series of avatars and development (especially Zuko's acceptance by Aang and the others) are equally heartening that surprising.

The long series Avatar The Last Airbender comes to a stunning conclusion in the Book 3 Fire, Volume 4. In the spring of a large number of episodes (as seen in previous volumes) to go to war against the tyrannical Fire Nation, the young Avatar Aang and his family must now bring down the fire Lord and his army, or watch them increase their destructive forces during an imminent solar eclipse. But there is a long-term Aang can not answer: Is the Avatar, which has never killed anyone, gets to take the Fire Lord's life? That is what he should do, according ZUKO, fire-Prince, who started in his lot with Aang and his friends.

While Aang is sorting that out - to receive different wisdom of the past avatars and advice from a giant turtle-lion creature - Zuko and Katara take another part of the struggle to cope with the Zuko's crazy sister. Meanwhile, Sokka reiterates his command latent talent for dangerous missions, as he and the earth-Bender Toph attempted sabotage of the Fire Nation airships. The final episodes on this disc is exciting, especially because they were so long to arrive. Before them, however, there are some interesting chapters to pass through, including "The Southern Raiders" when Katara attempt to avenge the death of his mother. As always, there are some comic elements, in this case "The Island Players" in which our heroes face the ignominy of seeing some of their previous adventures is a ridiculous, stagged play.
