Okay, so right about now, having talked about the best anime series and the coolest anime characters, we already know that this genre of animation is, well, inherently neat. Not only because of its style or definite uniqueness compared to those cartoons of the Western world but also because animes are usually pretty enlightening in one way or another. Sure, it’s a fantasy world that the characters most often occupy, but that doesn’t mean they do not have some earthly wisdom to share with us. Wanna check if we aren’t using some terminological inexactitude here? No problem, check out this anime quotes list and decide for yourself whether these anime characters (or should we say writers?) are indeed the wisecracking intelligentsia that we’ve so ornately described a couple of sentences back.
Undoubtedly, you’ll find wise words from the most well-known anime characters here; after all, they wouldn’t be so cool without having anything clever to say. Those would be Rock Lee from Naruto, Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, and definitely Saitama from One-Punch Man. Then there are also smart quotes that came from characters inhabiting somewhat a bit more obscure animes. But as we all well know, even the biggest underdog always has its day. Hence the wise quotes by them that are in this list. As you can guess by now, no anime is left unmentioned, and no character is left uninvestigated searching for the best anime quotes to put in our roster.
Right-o, let’s get to business here - a slow scroll down below will reveal the saddest, the funniest, and undoubtedly the best quotes by various animated personas. Once you’ve found the words that have awakened something in your cranium or in your heart - give them your vote! And, after that’s all well and done, you wouldn’t forget to share this article with your anime-loving friends, wouldn’t you?
