“Pride is not the opposite of shame, it is the reason for it”

Sounds familiar?

It’s one of my favorite anime phrases from a series I used to watch when I was little – Avatar The Last Airbender.

I just remembered this quote 7.22 seconds ago.

Although Avatar is not an anime series, it got the gears in my brain spinning… What are the BEST anime girl lines in the history of… well, anime?

Fasten your seatbelt – I have been spending countless hours browsing through CrunchyRoll comments, anime communities, anime apps and online forums with anime fans.

Here are the deepest, most impactful japanese anime phrases of all time.

#1 Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tale)

“A strong person is not the one who doesn’t cry. A strong person is the one who cries and sheds tears for a moment, then gets up and fights again.”

Erza is saying it’s okay to cry and feel down sometimes. What really makes you strong is being able to get back up and keep going after you’ve had a good cry.

Btw, I recently tried this adult anime app called eHentai – they added Erza to it so you can actually talk to her!

“I’d rather trust and regret than doubt and regret.”
