The 100 Laws of Anime

I don't know if anyone's seen this, but I found it really hilarious.
Mostly because they're so true.

Ex:
#16- Laws of Inverse Accuracy- The accuracy of a "Good Guy" when operating any form
of firearm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the
"Bad Guys" when operating firearms decreases when the difficulty of the shot
decreases. (Also known as the Stormtrooper Effect) Example: A "Good Guy" in a
drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and
several battalions of "Bad Guys" firing on a "Good Guy" standing alone in the middle
of an open field will always miss.
First Corollary- The more "Bad Guys" there are, the less likely they will
hit anyone or do any real damage.
Second Corollary- Whenever a "Good Guy" is faced with insurmountable odds,
the "Bad Guys" line up in neat rows, allowing the hero to take them all out with a
single burst of automatic fire and then escape.
Third Corollary- Whenever a "Good Guy" is actually hit by enemy fire, it is
in a designated "Good Guy Area", usually a flesh wound in the shoulder or arm,
which restricts the "Good Guy" from doing anything more strenuous than driving,
firing weaponry, using melee weapons, operating heavy machinery, or doing complex
martial arts maneuvers.
*Fourth Corollary- The more times the "Bad Guy" fires, the fewer times he
will hit.

And this:
#45- Law of Uninteruptable Metamorphosis- Regardless of how long or involved the
transformation sequence or how many times they've seen it before, any "Bad Guys"
witnessing a mecha/hero/heroine transforming are too stunned to do anything to
interrupt it.
#26- Law of Feline Mutation- Any half-cat/half-human mutation will invariably:
1) be female.
2) will possess ears and sometimes a tail as a genetic mutation.
3) wear as little clothing as possible, if any.

#39- Law of Inverse Attraction- Success at finding suitable mates is inversely
proportionate to how desperately you want to be successful. The more you want, the
less you get and vice-versa.
First Corollary- Unfortunately, this law seems to apply to Otaku in the real
world...

#18- Law of Hemoglobin Capacity- the human body contains over 12 gallons of blood,
sometimes more, under high pressure.

#51- Law of Uninteruptable Nominative Clamovocation- This law is a mixture of Laws
44 and 45. Regardless of how long or involved the Spell or projectile attack is, and
the likelihood of success and damage done by the volume at which the full name of
the attack is announced, or how many times they've seen it before, any "Bad Guys"
witnessing a hero/heroine quoting the incantations for an extremely powerful attack
are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it. (Also known as the "Dragon Slave
Phenomenon&quot

#65- Law of Extreme Anger- Whenever a female character gets mad, such as seeing the
male character with another girl, she becomes extremely strong (despite her usually
helpless look) so that she can lift a 1000 ton object to hurt the guy. She can
sometimes perform other punishments that are just as cruel such as pinching the
guy's face so hard that it changes shape. *(see law #49)

Law of Differential Gravitation- Whenever someone or something jumps, is
thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborne, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4.
* Some things have been known to "Float" for a few seconds before plummeting to hit
the ground, vehicle, or someone's cranium.

I made my own:

Law of Uncontrolled Falling
Any male lead who trips, stumbles, is launched airborne, ect., will always land in an arousing situation. (Tripping and falling into breasts, crashing into the female changing room, falling under a female's skirt)
C1. The female character will always blush furiously before severely injuring the main character with a charged attack while shouting an insult as the scene zooms out (a picture of the house they're in).
C2. The number of insults is directly proportional to the number of hits launched by the female
C3. The male never does anything about being attacked, instead cowering in fear as the female prepares to strike

The law of inverse accuracy applies to a lot of games too.
In MW3, you carry Soap Mctavish through a street lined with enemy soldiers all shooting at you simultaneously(missing every shot).

I get really upset when anime doesn't even bother to think of physics. >.<
There are a few # which could be referred to, especially the negated effect of gravity in #2 - that is the most common one I rant about in my head.

#46- Law of Flimsy Incognition
I only read a few, but this is the one I really liked since it applies to Team Rocket and Ash & co. Oh my, Ash as a girl and all the times Team Rocket have fooled everyone...

#42- Law of Juvenile Omnipotence- Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it
done in half the time and twice the angst.
