DAY 28: Favorite Quote From Any Anime Character

30-Day Anime Challenge!  (Day 28): Favorite Quote From Any Anime Character

 

A single quote can be a wonderful thing.  Sometimes, it’s not just what the characters do in an anime that makes them memorable, but rather it’s what they say that allows us to connect with them, in terms of their personality.

 

Other times, we are inspired by what these fictional characters say, relating to something of relevance to our daily lives, applying those sayings, and becoming better people.

 

Most of the time, though, these quotes are just plain EPIC.

 

Now, for this one, I actually have a couple of quotes, but only from two series.

 

FIrst one is Houtarou Oreki‘s famous motto, from the anime Hyouka:

“If I don’t have to do it, I won’t do it.  If I have to do it, I’ll make it quick.”

oreki kouhii

Swag-tarou Oreki ain’t have to do none of that shizzle if he ain’t want to.

I’ve already provided a basic explanation as for why Houtarou is the anime character that I relate to the most, and this quote essentially encapsulates his entire personality.  Personally, I follow this mantra with very few exceptions, and it has been the basis of my high-school life ever since.

I can provide you guys with my calculations of how many hours I have saved ever since I started living Houtarou’s low-energy lifestyle, but it’ll be too difficult to understand and would probably take up a lot of space.

But, the bottomline is that this quotation defines Houtarou so well that it had to be one of my favorite anime quotes.

 

Now, the second quote is actually a whole bunch of quotes, all of which came from one man, who can inspire anyone with almost anything he ever says.

 

 

 

 

 

However, the most riveting and inspiring ones would be:

 

Don’t believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the me who believes in you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your drill is the drill that will pierce the Heavens!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who the hell do you think I am?!

 

 

 

 

 

and my personal favorite:

 

 

A true man never dies… even when he’s killed.

Yes, it’s Kamina, from Gurren Lagann.

And why the hell shouldn’t I add his quotes into this article?

Seriously, this guy can turn anything he says into inspiring pep-talks.  However, when he says something that is actually meaningful, he does so in a way that leaves a mark in the hearts of the people who hear his words of manly wisdom.

Similar to Houtarou’s, Kamina’s quotations are testimony to Kamina’s never-say-die attitude.  It also proves just how much of an impact Kamina has left with Team Dai-Gurren, that they were left traumatized by his absence (as if his fighting words were fuel for the team to fight).  However, even when the team recovered, they still lean on Kamina’s words as part of the team’s legacy and some of which are still fighting words that they continue to use until the final battle.

Sooooo, in essence, Kamina is awesome.

And if you don’t agree with me, then WHO DA HELL………….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…..well, you get the picture.

These quotes were just the first things to come to my head.  I’m sure that there are many more out there, and I’m interested to know what you guys think, so leave a comment down below as to what your favorite anime quote is.

I’ll see you guys in Day 29!  But if you don’t have to do it, then still do it, cuz I said so.
