Anime physics can be considered a subset of cartoon physics - a set of rules used in cartoons to twist or ignore the laws of physics for humorous or dramatic effect. Image File history File links Stop_hand. ... Cartoon physics is a joking reference to the fact that animation allows regular laws of physics to be ignored in humorous ways. ...

Examples include:

• Dramatic moments tend to distort time, either by slowing it down (usually long enough to call out the name of an attacker or the name of the "special move" used in the attack, or for bystanders to comment on the situation), or by looping three times.

• Human bodies contain more blood than a barrel of the same size, often under high pressure.

• An angry girl will be able to hit any male (usually one who is romantically involved with her) hard enough to knock him into low Earth orbit.

• Characters have an extradimensional storage space normally used for the concealment of weapons or tools. This is usually an oversized mallet in the case of many females. Because of this, this space is commonly known as Hammerspace.

• Anime characters often have impossibly large sweatdrops coming from their heads when they are angry, or as a visual representation of a groan.

• Any character of superior athletic ability can jump no less than ten feet into the air. In addition, feats of incredible strength, such as wielding ten-foot swords and punching through concrete, are relatively commonplace.

• A katana can always cut through anything - including boulders and solid steel - without breaking or becoming noticeably dulled. Wooden or bamboo katanas are just as powerful as their metal counterparts, sometimes even more so. Also, a sword, knife, or dagger can easily cut through an object that is far thicker than its blade is long. i.e. a 3 foot blade may cut through a boulder that is 10 feet wide. However, anyone who can use a wooden or bamboo katana to cut through metal can always do better with a metal counterpart.

• Attacks strong enough to shred entire planets will not destroy anyone's pants (but will usually destroy all other clothing).

• Conversely, certain explosions can destroy a female character's clothing without significantly harming her body—in some cases, without her initially noticing this.

• Any fire-based attack on a character will not completely burn his/her clothes but will leave black stains instead.

• The Stormtrooper effect holds true for all manner of grunts, mecha, demons, generic ninja, etc.

• A group of five heroes will likely consist of a handsome guy, his best friend/rival, an attractive woman, a massive oaf, and a diminuitive, annoying creature (usually a small child or magical being). This holds true for groups as small as three or as great as ten members; groups larger than ten are extremely rare. This also includes an intelligent and/or wise person (either a child computer whiz or an old man) or a mystical creature that specializes entirely in magic. [1]

• When a character or multiple characters hear another character say something completely unexpected or the exact opposite of expected speech during a humorous or compromising situation, all said listening characters will experience a massive tug of gravity, causing them to instantly fall to the ground with significant force. Note that they are completely unharmed by this and often get up quickly to scold the other character. This is known as the "face-fault'.

• No matter what the temperature or voltage, characters struck by fire or zapped by electricity will get no more than a blackened face.

• If a character hears a comment to respond to from a few yards away, either he/she runs at the speed of light to face the commenter or his/her neck stretches such that his/her head will be near the talker.

• A villain will not shoot while a character summons his or her armor or while a mecha is transforming. (With the exception of Gaogaigar, whose enemies are smart enough to consistently interfere in such transformations.)

• There is a mystical force present in the universe that causes anime conventions to be filled with fat, hairy pedophiles and no-one else.

• Any color in the visible spectrum is considered a natural hair color. If the colours are not enough, each character can have multiple hair colour at the same time. This color can change without warning or explanation.

• Similarly to cartoon physics, if a character is stabbed in the buttocks, he/she will jump miles high.

• If two characters are challenging each-other, either one character(enlarged as to fill up most of the screen) will perform a move and then the other character will do the same, or (mostly in the case of Pokemon), there will be a split-screen

• The eyes and mouth of a character are huge in proportion to the rest of the face, usually taking up 3/4 of the face.

• In space, sound travels faster because there is no air to get in the way.

• Tokyo is the most dangerous location in the universe. It is destroyed in nearly every second anime.

• Female boobs are almost always larger than actual breasts.

• Guys sometimes nosebleed when they're aroused.

• During a battle, sometimes all the heroes fall to the villain as if about to be defeated. After this, a deus ex machina comes to their rescue to cease the villain. And then the main hero knocks down the villain in one hit.

• In some form of argument, both participants' bodies may become much smaller and move through a 1-3 frame shaking-cycle until the fight is over. This is intended, generally, to be somehow humorous.

• Some anime characters have 3-5 blood vessels concealed under the bridge of their noses. When embarassed or sometimes angered, these blood vessels become very apparent.

• Any superpowers and magical spells must be shouted as loudly as possible in order for them to work.

• When certain characters are blown up, or involved in an explosion, instead of dying, they are shot so far into the air that they turn into a little sparkle and dissapear, yet they can still be heard shouting back at the other characters.
