best line from an anime.

[Risen Hell Fire]

sorry if this has been done before. my favorite line has to go to gene starwind (outlaw star) when he called the mind controlling cactus "cactus basterd".

[Readordie]

I would have to say it's from Rune Soldier. As mediocre as that anime was, the 'This is against my will!' joke always kept me laughing.

[Tremolo]

Yes it has been done before. Thousands of times - one was closed earlier this week I recall. Ah well.

I've always been fond of the "stupid, bungling lost-another-fight Kyo" line from Fruits Basket. <3 Shigure

[TypicalIdiotFan]

English dub? I don't recall that scene.........

Pretty sure it isn't. And I don't either. Maybe manga translations?

In episode 2 of Onegai Teacher, Minoru is questioning Mizuho and Kei about why they were found in Minoru's bathtub . . . .

Kei: "How Can I Say It, Its Kind of Funny in a Way . . . "

Minoru: "What are you a Politician?"

[DrummerForHire]

"Nothing can ever happen until you swing the bat" -Haruko from FLCL
or "Everyday here is like an entire lifetime of dying slowly" -Naota from FLCL

Those are two cool lines in my opinion. I don't think they are paraphrased or that much...

Wow, there seem to be a whole bunch of Fruits Basket quotes. I especially liked that Shigure one posted a while ago. Speaking of FB quotes, here's one from the manga I found hilarious.

"Perhaps if you'd just die, you'd be reincarnated as something more pleasant." - Yuki to Kyo

[UZ_white]

"Perhaps if you let me fondle your lucious breasts, I'll retract my previous statement!"

-Elder from Chrono Crusade.

"Legato...it's my turn to hunt you down................................Yeah right." - Vash the stampede. you gatta love the way he says this as he points his .45 colt at the head of some dude, and then goes whining back to the bar and his delicious salmon sadwiches.

Sagara - "Do you enjoy watching incompetent people succeed?"

[In response to Kaname watching and enjoying a cheesy sports movie]


I think this more or less sums up Sagara's saddistic side, and his slight obsession with military like perfection.

[Sorrow-kun]

Mine's a very simple one. I suppose it hit me because I wasn't really expecting such a good line to come from such a mediocre series, but, right at the end of Scrapped Princess when Pacifica said

When I die, if I can think back and say "My life wasn't so bad after all", then it's fine
I thought that was a really good. Cliched or not, I found it a good reminder of something I hadn't really thought about for a long time.

"The one and only angel in the world...My beautiful lady...I will surely protect you." Han
"I will give my life to protect you." Han
The reason why i like these two is becuase he protects the girl and in another anime can't remember, which one the guy dies. To put your life on the line for someone else is amazing.

Let me raise some more Golden Boy quotes:

"The wild beast inside of you has awakened the wild beast inside of me!" - Kintaro Oe to the Swimming Instructor after they swam in the pool together.

"You're not fit to be the Chief Instructor, Chief Instructor!" - Kintaro Oe trying to tell off the Swimming Instructor after being told he couldn't keep up.

"The human head cannot turn 360 degrees."

"Life is so educational!"


And now some more amusing quotes from different anime just to add variety:

"Power without perception is virtually useless and therefore of no true value." - Ryuukin from Fist of the North Star

"Launch Unit Zero!" - Gendo Ikari's "Plan B" when Shinji didn't want to fight in Neon Genesis Evangelion

Death Note (kinda spoiler but not really):

"JUST AS PLANNED"

It hasn't happened yet, but we all know it'll never be topped.

[animanic_critic]

Just some of the more memorable lines from some of my favorite anime...

Mai-HiME - "You killed him!!!" Mai blowing off her top at Mikoto for supposedly killing her brother.

Gankutsuou - "Edmond! Please stop... Your feelings... Your pain... Your solitude... I will take them all... into myself!" Mercedes begged at The Count to stop the duel between him and supposedly-Albert.

Now and Then, Here and There - "If I knew this was going to happen to me, I'd wish I was never born!" Sara yelled frustratedly at Boo while trying to kill herself.

Monster - "I was born straight out of a fairy tale" Johan said to Schuwald right into his eyes.

Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen - "You've done it. You made the bloody rain fall..." Tomoe said to Kenshin the first time they met.

To me, it's obvious the last line is the best, I wouldn't rub off the others since they pretty much are what made them memorable anime titles. Plus, most of the best lines to me seem to come from female characters. I wonder why... :\

[KiraraKim]

Mai-HiME - "You killed him!!!" Mai blowing off her top at Mikoto for supposedly killing her brother.

Hmm I am not one to criticize but wouldn't you say that is more of a memorable moment than a memorable line?

I do really love that Rurouni Kenshin quote

[Ieyasu]

(After expressing his desire to co-exist with the "evil" Galactic Empire)
"Dictatorship itself isn't inherently evil. It's just another form of government" - Yang Wen-Li (LotGH)

(While being attacked by the mobile fortress, Geiersberg)
"As long as there's still time to custom order our coffee, we're ok, aren't we?"
"Well, yeah. You see, even if I die, I don't want to compromise on women or coffee" - Cazellnu and Schenkopp (LotGH)

[animanic_critic]

Hmm I am not one to criticize but wouldn't you say that is more of a memorable moment than a memorable line?

I do really love that Rurouni Kenshin quote
Very true, however, personally it's that particular line that makes it memorable. Sure, Mai's implosive facial expression at that time was unforgettable but usually memorable moments are usually a result, or are triggered, of a memorable line... as least that's what I think.

You may be right though. Eventually there's a thin line between memorable moments and memorable lines.

"Hey, you know your boobs!" - An artist and Kintaro discuss drawing the female figure for an anime they're working on for their boss with his animation studio job.
