Anime has a strange reputation because of some of the sub-genres within it, but there are honestly stories and moments that are inspirational – so being the weeb that I am, here’s a compilation of those quotes.
Another: “It’s just pathetic to give up on something before you even give it a shot.” – Reiko Mikami
Rurouni Kenshin: “You can die anytime, but living takes true courage.” – Kenshin Himura
Magi: “If nobody cares to accept you and wants you in this world, accept yourself and you will see that you don’t need them and their selfish ideas.” – Alibaba Saluja
Fate/Zero: “Whatever you do, enjoy it to the fullest. That is the secret of life.” – Rider
My Hero Academia: “Sometimes I do feel like I’m a failure. Like there’s no hope for me. But even so, I’m not gonna give up. Ever!” – Izuku Midoriya
Attack on Titan: “People who can’t throw something important away, can never hope to change anything.” – Armin Arlelt
Bleach: “We can’t waste time worrying about the what if’s.” – Ichigo Kurosaki
Cowboy Bebop: “Man always thinks about the past before he dies, as if he were frantically searching for proof that he truly lived.”
JJBA Stardust Crusaders: “A road is something that you make yourself.”
FMA: “The world isn’t perfect. But it’s there for us, doing the best it can….that’s what makes it so damn beautiful.”
Nana: “We are all farsighted, we give importance to those things that are far from us, while neglecting the things that are close to us… only to realise their value later when they are out-of-reach again…”
FMA: “The world isn’t perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn’t encompass everything that goes on here. But I still choose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price. That there’s an ebb, and a flow, a cycle. That the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who’s determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it’s not what they expected.”
D.Gray Man: “No matter what happens, I’ll keep on moving. Until this life runs out of me, I’ll keep on walking.”
Bleach: “You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them.”
Code Geass: “Lying tears hurt others, lying smiles hurt one’s self.”
Samurai Champloo: “Don’t live your life making up excuses. The one making your choices is yourself.”
Cardcaptor Sakura: “Whatever your thoughts may be, if you don’t say them, none of it will be acknowledged by others.”
