One reason we watch anime is for the relatable characters who we can always identify with on some level. I especially love it when anime gives us helpful advice or suggestions on how to better live our lives better, which can sometimes be surprisingly helpful. Here are 17 great examples of anime advice, contributed by J-List’s awesome customers!
First, Tsukasa from Tonikaku Kawaii reminds us that we all only have one life, so we should take care of ourselves. Because people die when they are killed.
Next, a reminder that a person’s intelligence doesn’t necessarily rise as they get older.
Madoka-mama gives us a reminder of why adults are allowed to drink alcohol.
