In one episode of Sgt Frog, Keroro suggests that cleaning windows and mirrors with newspapers prevents smudges.
I tried it with my local paper, and.... ....Keroro was right!!! 
Have you ever done anything similar? [EDIT: Fixed a -> an in thread title.~Zalis] |

Heh. I already knew that trick.
But I learned a lot about improving the quality and varying the taste palettes of sauces and curries by reading Addicted to Curry (fine manga, highly recommended). - abunai |

Ed from Cowboy Bebop taught me to follow strange men.
...I'm never taking her advice again. |

I'll admit to doing this once out of pure desperation. I was driving home from the grocery store and was stuck in traffic. I had nothing to drink in the car, and I got a really bad case of hiccups, which were terribly painful (as they always are with me--very violent things, hiccups). After 15 minutes of agony and trying to fix it by holding my breath, I began trying out Azumanga Daioh solutions. Surprisingly enough, pulling on my tongue did seem to help. If anything, it served as enough of a distraction to get them to stop! I've used it in later situations where water/holding breath didn't work to varying levels of success, but when I truly needed it, AzuDai came through for me. ^_-

"Your life is the result of your own decisions." This is the pervasive theme of Mind Game (it's even sneaked surreptitiously into a throwaway shot in the film--0:33) and I've kind of adapted it as my personal mantra. I try to keep this thought in the back of my mind as I begin to make major life decisions and try not to keep a back seat in the progression of my own life. It's actually helped me acquire a surprising amount of focus and resolve in situations where I've had to make tough choices and I'm thankful that it's there to help me out and provide me with a teensy bit more of personal strength.

I may not have taken any explicit advice from any of the series I've watched, but I've certainly taken discussions from within anime into the real world.
After watching the first episode of Lucky Star I asked most of my friends if: a) spoiler[They were always capable of eating the last bite of an ice lolly] b) spoiler[They liked to force ice cream down the cone to prevent themselves being left with nothing but a dry cone afterwards] and c) spoiler[They would eat the strawberry atop a slice of cake first or last.] Interestingly enough, most people said they would consume said strawberry half way through. |

Cool another Addicted to Curry fan! I absolutely love the series and I kept mistaking the main character for Onizuka early on. Anyways as for lessons I've learned from Anime I've learned from harem Anime that guys (in general, not necessarily applying to every guy as I don't want to offend anyone) are complete idiots when it comes to relationships and that includes myself. |

Air gear: You have wings so go fly (haven't tryed)
Naruto: A man can become truly strong when they need to Believe It! (found that out killing the script writer) Bleach: If you dress in black and carry around a sword monsters attack you. (tryed that monsters came and shouted something like "Police" i just ran away faster) Claymore: Chicks are scary. (already knew) so far trying out advice hasent worked too well for me.  I know ill try Priest's (manga) advice

I've learned from YUGIOH that if i wait patiently enough and believe in the heart of the cards i can usually win a game of hold-em.... usually i rely on the patience thing more often though. i have been told im a slow playing conservative dlck though.

Yeeeah. Pokemon taught me that you can sing "I'm gonna be the very best" and save the world from evil corporate thugs and superpowered megalomaniacs all you want, but it won't mean jack-squat in a tournament and you'll still be dirt poor. "No good deed goes unpunished!" 
No, seriously. I let this guy in front of me in the car line out of school, and he zipped on through the light, while I was held back to wait ten minutes for the buses to get out, which I had to lag behind all the way home. Grrrrr...should've passed him up. Last edited by JacobC on Thu Apr 17, 2008 6:34 pm; edited 1 time in total |

At least you'll lose while singing a cool song. 
(Ah, for the days when 4Kids' openings were much improved over the originals...) |

I've been meaning to drill my way to the heavens, I really should get on that soon. Also, I tried clipped my nails while wearing new shoes and eating, right before going to sleep late at night. I don't care to talk about the events of that evening and the next day again
Also, wasabi bread may not mold, but it sure tastes like crap. |

In one situation I did what I thought Onizuka would do and at least I got to meet Chris Hansen.

I've attempted to take Shinku's advice to Nori in Rozen Maiden on how to properly make a cup of tea depending on the type of leaves, but I don't have a way to take the temperature of the water so I'm pretty sure I'm butchering it still.

When eating sushi, I always take Riya's advice from Akazukin Chacha and start with the egg. It always whets my palate.
I need to kick caution to the curb more often, though. |
