Hilarious hardcore and downright silly shows absolutely and along with that they've created their own unique set of tropes

So we teamed up with funimation to count down our favorite hey? I'm chad [frisk] root sack and funimation's top 10 anime [Tros]

number 10

if you're watching anime

And you need to know that a character is in a hurry. There's one tell-all trope that you'll see time and time again

It's not speed lines or hair flapping

Oh, no

You'll know they've got to be somewhere quick by the toast hanging out of their mouths I mean I guess it's understandable it really drives

Home though oh damn. I'm late

I better eat on the go

But I'm pretty sure the main reason we get to see it so much is that it's just adorable

[oh], just look at her. You just know she's gonna turn the corner soon and knock over a love interest

Bonus if the jam side lands right on his [crush]

number [9]

It happens in so many series. It always begins with some sort of trip to a relative's house or a vacation

[you] [know] it's coming. I'm of course talking about the hot Springs Beach episode

Sexual tension is great for plot development and putting your characters in a bath or frolicking on the beach where they're all wearing little to

No clothing. Definitely create some awkward and sexy situations. Let's be honest when it comes to anime

There's definitely fanservice to be found for some shows it's their whole thing [right] [kay], [Jo]

But the hot Springs flash beach episode is the best excuse to show up what each character is packing under their physics-defying stylish clothing

Number 8. Have you ever had that guy or girl

That's just overly mean to you for [no] apparent reason totally said no apparent reason [oh]

Well, that's the tSundere character

[they're] the character that seems like their heart is made out of dippin dots. Which is colder than [normal] ice cream

They're usually a pain in the ass to [deal] with but they're there for you when it really counts and lots of times

It's because they secretly just are in love and feelings are hard, okay

Regardless the characters are a great example of why you should just use your words talking out stop hitting people for no reason

It's kind of amazing then matter how different shows might be from one another there's always room for a synthetic character

number [seven]

When it comes to conquering a dastardly villain or saving the world there's plenty of heroes up to the job

However [in] Many scenarios, no matter how strong a champion is he can't succeed without the power of friendship

What started in [shonen] Manga has quickly found its way into anime over time friends help a hero realize their true power

Even if that means one of them might have to die in the process

[while] villains usually mock a hero calling them weak for relying on others

They're usually regretting it when the hero teams up with a buddy to unleash [some] sort of unprecedented attack

It doesn't matter how powerful you are you don't have friendship on your side. You're probably gonna lose

number six

How do you take an anime character and instantly make them more adorable you put some damn cat ears on them?

That's how I hunt some fantastical anime world these creatures are just part of life

But in others everyone appears to be human except for this one guy or girl just walking around like the king of the jungle

Well in Japan the anthropomorphic human animal hybrid is often referred to as Kimono Mimi

Or what loosely translates as animal ears?

They're basically humans with animal characteristics that are cute as hell sometimes

They're created by Magic and even get some cool animal trait powers other times

They're actually just the result of some sort of human animal [one-night-stand].

I don't think we need to go down that path Chad. fine

Here's a collection of cat people doing adorable thing

number five

giant sweat Drops Beady eyes

waterfall tears

one thing that anime does better than any other medium [is] the exaggeration of emotions.

Whether it's characters suddenly turning chibi for comedic effect,

or having Shoujo sparkles and flowers appear in the background to really emphasize love?

Once it happens. Just once in a show it opens the door to happen at any time

you could be watching the most super serious gritty animation and

Suddenly witness a character melt into a heaping pile of who's after her realizing their own shame

And there's also plenty of room to break the [forth] of all

Those slow motion scenes are really tough. Oh yeah, you have to hold your breath until they

Ah if only we could have that in real life, [it'd] make [things] a [whole] lot more entertaining

number four

In case you missed it in Japan Cuteness is a huge part of the culture

[oh] of course tons of anime. Have an adorable mascot to champion it and make tons of cute plushies to squish

Huh?

Sorry works out for a second. Yeah

Well, it's because of this love for cuteness that you'll often see an adorably drawn sidekick accompanying a hero like say a stuffed lion running

Alongside a soul reaper [or] a tiny adorable blue cat with wings

These characters are often the comic relief and the audience can't help but love them

Plus the mascots are a huge driver for the show's merchandise, then it may be trophy, but so help me

I'm Gonna Buy the damn plush

number three

It could happen at any time and finding your own business when suddenly an attractive person accidentally puts themselves in a revealing

Situation and that's when the old found the lust kicks in that's right. We're talking nose bleeds

[well] when you got so much blood rushing through your body

it's got to go somewhere right and

Usually that's everywhere nothing

[and] I mean nothing in anime signifies arousal quite like blasted out a gallon and nostril blood this happens

So frequently in anime characters just seem to accept it. [I] mean if it's called to attention at all

it's usually the same casual dismissal as if someone sneeze could you imagine if that really happened as a male we already have a

disadvantage when it comes to

Showing interest so the last thing we need is to shoot blood across the room. Can't hide that with a pillow

number two

Transformation sequences have been a part of anime pretty much since the [beginning]

There's just something awesome about watching your favorite character go from zero to hero in a shimmering

Explosion of colors and Sparkles or achieving a new level of power in a giant explosion of fire

What it doesn't stop there pretty much of a thing can change into another thing? It's Gonna get its own little mini montage

There's every flavor of transformations from robots to magical girls and boys

And it really helps build up the tension and excitement for the usually upcoming battle

[oh] once that background changes people start losing clothes and spinning around [you] [know] [shit's] about to get so real it's

number one

Nothing says

I'm gonna kick your ass like giving your attack an awesome sounding name and screaming it at the top of your lungs during the strike

and

In anime, they've got it down

It's like shoutcasting your own fight now you think opponents would start to use this to their advantage like oh, hey

just scream flying Dragon mouth [hiccup] destruction

He's probably gonna kick, but in most cases the enemy will just yell [out] their own attack monitor

regardless of How impractical

over-the-top power charge [spikes]

Just wouldn't feel like anime if the characters weren't screaming their description that usually consists of the action combined with some sort of animal

dragon

All right, well thanks for teaming up lauren. That's a lot of fun. Yeah. It was a blast [we] should do this again
