What's that? You thought Fuck You, This is Animé is a rant book? You must have forgotten by now that it isn't. It's a book that contains pretty much anything related to animé but I focus on rants.
Haven't you read that in the description or did you just forget? (Tbh, I forgot too. I just remembered when I reread the description.)
So let's take a break from the rants and I'll give you something I haven't given you before yet.
I've been researching about this all over the internet and so I'll give you 10 facts about animé.
Just kidding, I'll give you 30 facts since I love you.
1. Bubbles (King Kai's pet monkey from Dragon Balls Z) is a reference to Michael Jackson's chimpanzee, which was also named Bubbles.
2. Sora and Shiro (No Game No Life) and Kanda Sorata and Shiina Mashiro (Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo) are both voiced by Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Kayano Ai respectively. This is because they share similar designs and their given names only differ by one syllable each; Sora(ta) and (Ma)Shiro.
3. In episode 71 of Dragon Ball, Bulma's breasts are fully shown, including her nipples. However, it is only shown for a few frames and is therefore hard to notice.
4. Konohamaru and his friends appear at the end of Ben 10's 30th episode.
5. Sailor Moon was originally going to have a gun and a cape.
6. Astro Boy was the first animé to be broadcasted out of Japan.
7. Many surnames of the animé Neon Genesis Evangelion are named after Japanese warships from WWII.
8. In Japan, more paper is needed for printing manga than for toilet paper.
9. It is more expensive to be addicted to animé than crack.
10. Saki Fujita, the woman who Hatsuki Miku is sampled from, is the seiyu (voice actress) for Ymir (Shingeki No Kyojin).
11. A museum is created for Osamu Tezuka, who is the father of manga.
12. Even with the ability to breed a baby Pokémon, the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon. As a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch.
13. Sazae - san is the longest running animé. Created in 1969, the show has 6429+ episodes, each around 6 minutes long. Even after 43 years, the show is still in production.
14. Sally The Witch, created in 1966 was the first of the 'Magical Girl' animé genre.
15. Akira's creators put so much attention to detail in the film that many scenes contain fully painted scenery that can only be seen in the background for a fraction of a second.
16. Hirano Kouta (High School Of The Dead)'s character was based off the author of Hellsing. They both share a similar appearance, interest in guns and name.
17. In episode 7 of Guilty Crown, between minutes 8:00 - 8:30, in the television display is the classic video game "Super Mario Bros", but with a little twist.
18. L Lawiet's height and weight are approximately 173cm/50kg (5'8""/110lbs.), which would have meant he was underweight.
19. Each of the five main regions in the Pokémon franchise, (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova) are strikingly similar in geography to real world places. The first four are based on smaller region of Japan while Unova is based on the New York metropolitan area.
20. Sanji (Once Piece) was originally supposed to be named Naruto but this was changed to prevent confusion with the manga series Naruto.
21. Near and Mello (Death Note) had their designs switched. Near was originally going to look like Mello and vice versa. The editor accidentally wrote the names in wrong designs but the mistake was never corrected.
22. In Sailor Moon, Usagi's little brother Shingo is based off of Naoko Takeuchi's real brother.
23. Hetalia originally started as a web comic and then later was serialized as a manga by Gentosha Comics.
24. Code Geass is sponsored by the Japanese branch of Pizza Hut. Despite the fact that the series is set in an alternate reality, Pizza Hut is seen ordered many times during the show.
25. David Kaye, who does English voice for Sesshomaru's in 'Inuyasha', also does the voice of Megatron from Transformers.
26. "Over 9000!" was a translation error. The power level was actually "Over 8000!"
27. Animé is so successful in Japan that there are almost 130 voice-acting schools in the country.
28. In the manga, Sailor Moon's hair was supposed to be silver when she transformed but Naoko's editor said it should be yellow.
29. Clefairy was gonna be the original Pokémon mascot but it changed to Pikachu because of its popularity.
30. In Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid there is a part where you can see the characters of Death Note for a brief moment. L is riding a bike.
Daaang my fingers are tired. You should be glad I love you all. XD But seriously, dat #9 doh. ╥﹏╥
And that Near and Mello thing probably wasn't an accident. It was God's decision because I would be devastated if the white-haired guy died instead of the blond. XD
Sazae-san animathon? Challenge accepted! ٩(๑❛▽❛๑)۶
