That's what I was going to say! xD

Well, another one is that there always seem to be an onsen episode, and a festival episode.

WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE SAYING THIS?

Is this a Higurashi inside joke??? Cause I've seen the all 4 seasons and still don't find this worth mentioning at all. I keep seeing people agree with this friggin joke and I'm losing my friggin mind wondering why that is!

The joke is that cicada sounds are common in just about every anime ever. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CicadianRhythm

I dunno. It seems like an odd thing to joke about. Summer time has cicadas, spring has cherry blossoms, winter has snow...it's like people don't want anime to accurately depict the sounds and visuals of their seasons.

I agree with you so much, lol. It's like joking about how people placed buildings in a city, cars inside a parking lot, trees in a forest, etc. It's currently summertime here where I live, and we have got a damn lot of cicadas here. You can hear them all the time during the day, and they don't quiet down until the winter arrives. It's the same every year.

I dunno about the accuracy of what they said. I seem to hear cicadas just fine in Canada during summer, maybe it's some other bug.

And minor amusement: I wonder if they deliberately chose the term cicadian rhythm because it's a scientific term to describe the internal clock in organisms (aka sleep/wake cycles).

Seriously man?

Mind as well say, "Understood (wakarimashita)." or "Shut up (urusai) " or "What a pain (mendokusai)" or "Itadakimasu" in the mix too.

--I think they are pretty neat. All we get here is the occasional cricket, frog or mosquito. Cicadas and fire flies are much classier.

When the character is emotionally dead/possessed/entranced, etc, they add no lighting in their eyes, or no detail at all.

Why, in nearly every anime that follows a high schooler, is the main character sitting in the second to last seat by the window?

Seriously. If I lived in Japan I'd want to sit there just in hope that it gave me magical powers.

I tried. Didn't work >___< I just kept staring out of the window...

Im really surprised no one has mentioned nose bleeds, over seeing a girls panties or boobs. Also school girls skirts must be as short as possible.

There is approximately an 80% chance that an anime will have a character named "Yuri" in it. Scientific fact.

If you're a delinquent or you skip class alot you fall asleep on the school roof.

At least one person has a pompadour hairstyle.

In sports anime the main character or the stongest player on the team will get injured at some point in the series.

The necro is real.

Well, since I'm here. Almost all delinquent characters who are main characters or supporting characters that have decent focus on them are actually very misunderstood and actually very kindhearted.

Apparently, it's perfectly normal to bring katanas everywhere even in school or trains. I don't know if this is just anime stuff or a japanese custom.
