 The Laws of Anime is a growing list of physical, universal, and natural phenomenon that seem to appear in various forms in all sorts of anime. The original intent was an effort to classify these incidents into a list of "laws" that explained how Anime physics are different from our own (real?) world. Due to the rather dynamic nature of Anime Science, theories and paradigms are generally in a state of constant flux, often shifting or changing with the tide of whimsy. By no means all-inclusive and sometimes not even remotely instructive, the following is an enumerated list of semi-empirical islands in an ocean of conjecture. It is our hope that you find them useful to studying Anime, or at the very least, worth a good chuckle. #1 - Law of Metaphysical Irregularity The normal laws of physics do not apply. #2 - Law of Differentiated Gravitation Whenever someone or something jumps, is thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborne, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4. #3 - Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Acoustics In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way. #4 - Law of Constant Thrust, First Law of Anime Motion In space, constant thrust equals constant velocity. #5 - Law of Mechanical Mobility, Second Law of Anime Motion The larger a mechanical device is, the faster it moves. Armored Mecha are the fastest objects known to human science. #6 - Law of Temporal Variability Time is not a constant. Time stops for the hero whenever he does something 'cool' or 'impressive'. Time slows down when friends and lovers are being killed and speeds up whenever there is a fight. #7 - First Law of Temporal Mortality 'Good Guys' and 'Bad Guys' both die in one of two ways - either so quick they don't even see it coming, OR it's a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence or why the toast always lands butter side down. #8 - Second Law of Temporal Mortality It takes some time for bad guys to die... regardless of physical damage. Even when the 'Bad Guys' are killed so quickly they didn't even see it coming, it takes them a while to realize they are dead. This is attributed to the belief that being evil damages the Reality Lobe of the brain. #9 - Law of Dramatic Emphasis Scenes involving extreme amounts of action are depicted with either still frames or black screens with a slash of bright color (usually red or white). #10 - Law of Dramatic Multiplicity Scenes that only happen once, for instance, a 'Good Guy' kicks the 'Bad Guy' in the face, are seen at least 3 times from 3 different angles. #11 - Law of Inherent Combustibility Anything that explodes bulges first. Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science. Tokyo in particular seems to be the most unstable of these cities, sometimes referred to as "The Matchstick City". Everything explodes. Everything. First Corollary - Second Corollary - #12 - Law of Phlogistatic Emission Nearly all things emit light from fatal wounds. #13 - Law of Energetic Emission There is always an energy build up (commonly referred to as an energy 'bulge') before Mecha or space craft weapons fire. Because of the explosive qualities of weapons, it is believed that this is related to the Law of Inherent Combustibility. #14 - Law of Inverse Lethal Magnitude Small and cute will always overcome big and ugly. Also known as the A-Ko phenomenon. The destructive potential of any object/organism is inversely proportional to its mass. First Corollary - #15 - Law of Inexhaustibility No one *EVER* runs out of ammunition. That is of course unless they are cornered, out-numbered, out-classed, and unconscious. #16 - Law of Inverse Accuracy The more 'Bad Guys' there are, the less likely they will hit anyone or do any real damage. Whenever a 'Good Guy' is faced with insurmountable odds, the 'Bad Guys' line up in neat rows, allowing the hero to take them all out with a single burst of automatic fire and then escape. Whenever a 'Good Guy' is actually hit by enemy fire, it is in a designated 'Good Guy Area', usually a flesh wound in the shoulder or arm, which restricts the 'Good Guy' from doing anything more strenuous than driving, firing weaponry, using melee weapons, operating heavy machinery, or doing complex martial arts maneuvers. The accuracy of a 'Good Guy' when operating any form of fire-arm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the 'Bad Guys' when operating fire-arms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases. (Also known as the Storm trooper Effect) Example: A 'Good Guy' in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of 'Bad Guys' firing on a 'Good Guy' standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss. First Corollary - Second Corollary - Third Corollary - #17 - Law of Transient Romantic Unreliability Minmei is a bimbo. #18 - Law of Hemoglobin Capacity The human body contains over 12 gallons of blood, sometimes more, under high pressure. #19 - Law of Demonic Consistency Demons and other supernatural creatures have at least three eyes, loads of fangs, tend to be yellow-green or brown, but black is not unknown, and can only be hurt bladed weapons. #20 - Law of Militaristic Unreliability Whenever a single war machine (mecha, starship, etc.) goes up against an entire army, the army always loses. Huge galaxy-wide armadas, entire armies, and large war machines full of cruel, heartless, bloodthirsty warriors can be stopped and defeated with a single insignificant example of a caring/loving emotion or a song. First Corollary - (from Adam Barnes) #21 - Law of Tactical Unreliability Tactical geniuses aren't.... #22 - Law of Inconsequential Undetectability People never notice the little things... like missing body parts, or wounds the size of Seattle. #23 - Law of Juvenile Intellectuality Children are smarter than adults. And almost always twice as annoying. #24 - Law of Americanthropomorphism The only people who are more stupid than the big dumb Americans are the American translators. (Sometimes referred to as the Green Line Effect) The only people who are more stupid than the American translators are the American editors and censors. Americans in Anime appear in one of two roles, either as a really nasty skinny 'Bad Guy' or a big stupid 'Good Guy'. First Corollary - Second Corollary - #25 - Law of Mandibular Proportionality (from A. Hicks, Tom Williams, and Ben Leinweber) The size of a person's mouth is directly proportional to the volume at which they are speaking or eating. #26 - Law of Feline Mutation (from A. Hicks) Any half-cat/half-human mutation will invariably: 1) be female 2) will possess ears and sometimes a tail as a genetic mutation 3) wear as little clothing as possible, if any #27 - Law of Conservation of Firepower (from Tom Williams) Any powerful weapon capable of destroying/defeating an opponent in a single shot will invariably be reserved and used only as a last resort. #28 - Law of Technological User-Benevolence (from Tom Williams) The formal training required to operate a spaceship or mecha is inversely proportional to its complexity. #29 - Law of Melee Luminescence (from Tom Williams) Any being displaying extremely high levels of martial arts prowess and/or violent emotions emits light in the form of a glowing aura. This aura is usually blue for 'good guys' and red for 'bad guys'. This is attributed to Good being higher in the electromagnetic spectrum than Evil. #30 - Law of Non-Anthropomorphic Antagonism (from Tom Williams) All ugly, non-humanoid alien races are hostile, and usually hell-bent on destroying humanity for some obscure reason. #31 - Law of Follicular Chromatic Variability (from Spellweaver) Any color in the visible spectrum is considered a natural hair color. This color can change without warning or explanation. #32 - Law of Follicular Permanence Hair in anime is pretty much indestructable, and can resist any amount of meteorological conditions, energy emissions, physical abuse, or explosive effects and still look perfect. The only way to hurt someone's hair is the same way you deal with demons... with bladed weapons! #33 - Law of Topological Aerodynamics, First Law of Anime Aero-Dynamics *ANY* shape, no matter how convoluted or odd-looking, is automatically aerodynamic. #34 - Law of Probable Attire (from various sources) All anime characters are resistant to extremely cold temperatures, and do not need to wear heavy or warm clothing in snow. Bikinis render the wearer invulnerable to any form of damage. Clothing in anime follows certain predictable guidelines. Female characters wear as little clothing as possible, regardless of whether it is socially or meteorologically appropriate. Any female with an excessive amount of clothing will invariably have her clothes ripped to shreds or torn off somehow. If there is no opportunity to tear off the afore-mentioned female's clothes, then she will inexplicably take a shower for no apparent reason (also known as the Gratuitous Shower Scene). Whenever there is a headwind, Male characters invariably wear a long cloaks that don't hamper movement and billow out dramatically behind them. First Corollary (Cryo-Adaptability) - Second Corollary (Indecent Invulnerability) - (from Nyctomania) #35 - Law of Musical Omnipotence Any character capable of musical talent (singing, playing an instrument, etc.) is automatically capable of doing much more "simple" things, like piloting mecha, fighting crime, stopping an intergalactic war, and so on...especially if they have never attempted these things before. #36 - Law of Quintupular Agglutination (from Daniel Mikula) 1) The Hero/Leader 2) His Girlfriend 3) His Best Friend/Rival 4) A Hulking Brute 5) A Dwarf/Kid 1) Extreme Coolness 2) Amazing Intelligence 3) Incredible Irritation Also called "The Five-man Rule", when "Good Guys" group together, it tends to be in groups of five. There are five basic positions, which are: Between these basic positions are distributed several attributes, which include: #37 - Law of Extradimensional Capacitance (from Jason Bustard) The most common item stored is a heavy mallet, which can be used with unerring accuracy on any male who deserves it. Other common items include costumes/uniforms, power suits/armor, and large bazookas. All anime females have an extradimensional storage space of variable volume somewhere on their person from which they can instantly retrieve any object at a moment's notice. First Corollary (a.k.a. The Hammer Rule) - (from Ferdinand Pelayo) #38 - Law of Hydrostatic Emission Eyes tend to be rather large in Anime. This is because they contain several gallons of water, which may be instantaneously released at high pressure through large tear ducts. The actual volume of water contained in the eyes is unknown, as there is no evidence to suggest that these reservoirs are actually capable of running out. The reason water tends to collect in the eyes is because Anime characters only have one large sweat gland, which is located at the back of the head. When extremely stressed, embarrassed, or worried, this sweat gland exudes a single but very large drop of sebaceous fluid. #39 - Law of Inverse Attraction Unfortunately, this law seems to apply to Otaku in the real world... Success at finding suitable mates is inversely proportionate to how desperately you want to be successful. The more you want, the less you get, and vice versa. First Corollary - #40 - Law of Nasal Sanguination (from Ryan Pritchard and Jason Aylen) When sexually aroused, males in Anime don't get erections, they get nosebleeds. No one's sure why this is, though... the current theory suggests that larger eyes means smaller sinuses and thinner sinus tissue (see Law #38 above). Females don't get nosebleeds, but invariably get one heck of a blush along the cheeks and across the nose, suggesting a lot of bloodflow to that region. #41 - Law of Xylolaceration (from Lyndon Harris) Wooden or bamboo swords are just as sharp as metal swords, if not sharper. #42 - Law of Juvenile Omnipotence (from Erin Alia) Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst. #43 - Law of Triscaquadrodecophobia There is no Law #43. #44 - Law of Nominative Clamovocation (from Luiko-Ysabeth and Adrian Hsiah) The likelihood of success and damage done by a martial arts attack is directly proportional to the volume at which the full name of the attack is announced. #45 - Law of Uninteruptable Metamorphosis (from R. A. Hubby) Regardless of how long or involved the transformation sequence or how many times they've seen it before, any 'Bad Guys' witnessing a mecha/hero/heroine transforming are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it. #46 - Law of Flimsy Incognition (from Conrad Knauer) Simply changing into a costume or wearing a teensy mask can make you utterly unrecognizable to even your closest friends and relatives.

   10 (Overused) Commandments of Anime Source:[link] These aren’t in any particular order, just in case you’re curious. To be honest looking back at this afterward this seems more of a rant than a list of cliches, but look of it as more of an “You Know You’re In an Anime If…” 1) Strange Pheromones (Harem Rule) Quite possibly one of the most common setups of any harem anime – one guy, twenty girls. The protagonist, no matter how boring, dull, and ordinary he may or may not be, will garner an impressive selection of girls vying for his affections, for little to no explicable reason. Even the most reputed of harem anime fall to this cliche – as much as the characters can be expanded upon and detailed and made into great people, they still all share one flaw in being as stupid as to fall for the same guy. An interesting harem anime, to me, would be one with more than one lead male, or secondary relationships at least – but then one has to watch out for the equal trap of Everybody for Somebody, not to mention utter confusion. 1A) Your imouto, but not really / Childhood friend / X years ago (Eroge/Ren’ai Rule) Of course, harem girls come in many flavors as well, and with many predictable rules to them as well. One will appear to be of family relations, but actually won’t be – this allows for the Little Sister stereotype (in combination with Tsundere at times) as well as Completely Legal Sex (not). Childhood friends, the kind that you grew up with since you were kids, are common. Frequently one can also find Enthusastic/Energetic Girl, Quiet Girl (in two variations: silent and strong or simply shy. Five times fast, eh?), the lolicon (although she’s 18, of course), maybe a Rich Girl in the mix, and The Girl With A Large Rack. Wait, that’s usually all of them, somehow. And of course, everybody is tied to a certain date in the past… 2) I Could Kill You, But I Won’t (Shonen Rule of Villians) Any group or faction that has a chance of defeating the main party, won’t. And if they do, defeats never last more than one episode. To be fair, this rule applies frequently to American films/TV and video games as well, whether it be Bond’s latest escape or That One Battle in The Beginning You Can’t Win. But still, one has to wonder, when the villains have their ultimate goal in their grasp, why don’t they just go for it. Aside from the rule that Good Always Wins, of course. 2A) Innate Ability / The Little Guy (Rule of Racing/Competition) Also, frequently the hero is much unlike the most of us in that he possesses some hidden power that makes him either The Chosen One or a professional-grade competitor at whatever his field is (drifting, swordfighting, card games, etc). In any case, he will always appear to be weaker than his opponent, perhaps by many magnitudes, but will nearly almost triumph. Usually goes hand-in-hand with the above rule of villain haughtiness. Sometimes one has to wonder if we handed them a weapon (car, whatever) of equal or greater caliber, how great the wipeout would be. Unless… 2B) Proportional Upgrades (Rule of 9000) If the hero recieves an upgrade that would give him an advantage in competition – a new sword ability, a turbocharger, new familiars – the Other Guys will quickly advance to the same level, if not greater. The rule applies in reverse as well – no matter how good you are, there’s always someone better, a bigger bad guy. This frequently is abused to ridiculously improbable levels. 3) Newton Who? (Rule of Physics) Breasts bounce. Things explode. Skirts fly up. Cars go sideways at 90 degrees. Ninjas jump 20 feet in the air. Tears are round and drop in slow-motion. Cuts open slowly before gashing furiously. Transfomation sequences stop time (and are really shiny). You always end up in a compromising position when falling. Stuff breaks when falling. Every object can be lethal in the right hands. Guardrails are invincible. Hammerspace is infinite. Any questions? 4) Improbability Drive Active (Rule of Normality) Anything that has an infinitely small chance of happening, will happen. Anybody that appears to be normal, is not. (Exception: The Hapless Friend) Nothing happens unless it’s in the nick of time, and in slow motion. Anything that appears to be useless, is not. “But…that’s impossible!” is only said by the enemy. If friends deem a task impossible, that will only make it easier for the hero. Everything has a place and a purpose. This rule can also be extended for improbable starting situations that really make no sense to outsiders, but are fully accepted by the people in the show. 4A) Color Coded (Rule of Hair) All characters are extremely distinguishable, with the exception of The Identical Twins, who will frequently swap identity, and possible become a running gag when characters confuse the two. No two hair color and hairstyle combinations are alike. It is perfectly acceptable for hairstyles to defy gravity, and possibly in some cases to change on their own when characters undergo a transformation. The main hero(es) is usually identified as the one with the most extravagant hairstyles, while less important characters may lack distinctive hair colors (i.e. blue, red, green) or faces as a whole. The exception is eroge and possibly ren’ai anime, where the protagonist will be as dull-looking as possible, frequently with gray hair. Also, as a corollary, frequently the most (and least) important characters will have exactly one outfit that they wear throughout the entirety of the series – if not an outfit, than at the least an identifying piece of clothing. 5) Good End (Rule of Dubbing/Rule of Endings) 99% of the time, everything will work out perfectly. Dead character, perhaps, will come back. Or maybe they will reappear as ghosts. In any case, their purpose on Earth has been fulfilled and they will move on. In romance anime, either all the girls will end up happy with at least one guy, or else they will relinquish their loved one peacefully. The bad guy will either die or realize the error of his ways – or maybe, just run away and swear vengeance another day, if a sequel is in order. When applicable, end with 1) a kiss sequence, 2) a pan up/fade out, 3) a still shot/group picture. 6) Partly Snowy With a Chance of Sad Girls (Rule of Weather) The weather frequently reflects upon the moods of the main character. Sunny days are carefree and happy – especially if there’s a lens flash added as they pan across the sun. Rainy days, 99% of the time, only occur when characters are sad or otherwise in a bad mood. The other 1% is when rain sets up for a romantic subplot, because only one umbrella exists among the main characters. Snow is an exception, as in most cases either a place will never experience snow, or is stuck in a situation of eternal snow. 7) Half-Laws, a.k.a Why Couldn’t I Have Come Up With Something Better and Learned to Love the Bomb - Life happens in neatly arranged, titled, 24 minute segments bordered by 2 minutes of singing, posing, and possibly dancing on each end. (Rule of Time I) - In lighter fare, everything must happen in these 20-minute chunks, otherwise it’s not worth doing. Heavier fare, as it is, gets to employ the ‘cliffhanger’ rule. (Rule of Time II) - Take a break about 10 minutes into the segment to fade out and/or pose, returning afterwards to repeat the last minute of what you just said. (Rule of Eyecatch) - If nothing exciting happens, it’s alright to pretend it never happened at all, or only reference it with one line. Life must always be non-stop action. (Rule of Interest) - Turn smaller and/or deformed when you are shocked or perhaps in a state of bliss. If possible, add facial distortion, losing your pupils altogether. (Rule of Chibi) - There is somebody watching you out there, and you might just be aware of it if you’re feeling funny. (Rule of Fourth Wall) -CCY |
