this is ashley with watch mojo and today
we're counting down our picks for the
top 10 moments
only anime would get away with
for this list we're looking at the
scenes that are quintessential
anime run on anime logic and overall
could never work in any other medium
have you given any of these a try
confess your otaku sins in the comments
below
and as always you can catch me on
twitter at jfo
so head over there give me a follow and
let me know which anime list you want to
see next
number 10 blue eyes white dragon jet
yu-gi-oh duel monsters
there's wasting your money there's
stroking your ego
there's indulging in your oddly specific
dragon fetish
and then there's kyber
who somehow meshed it all together and
in doing so
created a custom private jet that's in
the shape of his favorite
monster card not only is this
impractical and probably sent him back
millions but not even the most
self-absorbed member of the one percent
has done something this silly
at least in terms of aerodynamics hold
on
hey to break it to you kyber this is
your second worst decision
since kyberland where did you get this
stuff
number nine chise and elias's
relationship
the ancient magus bride
we get it it's beauty and the beast
she's had a terrible life
he's the only one to cherish her they
better each other and
through their union do they overcome
their trauma
that being said it's still a guy with a
giant goat school for a face
buying a depressed teenager at an
auction
with the intention of making her his
wife
of course when romanticized it sounds
like a gothic fairy tale
but take away the supernatural trimmings
and the result is
yeah we don't think anyone would want to
be in chise shoes
[Music]
number eight jotaro's age jojo's bizarre
adventure stardust crusaders
in case you need reminding joe taro kujo
is 17 years old
yeah the walking tank with a chin as
large as a fist
is a minor
oh sure this kind of thing gets tossed
around all the time in anime
especially when it comes to female
characters for well worrying reasons but
the most
outlandish offender is definitely the
bad boy joe star
even iraqis seemed to acknowledge it as
his art style viewed towards
the fashionable rather than the
frighteningly buff
what was this guy eating
number seven letting a little girl into
the army
saga of tanya the evil
mother
regardless of whether or not they have
access to magical weaponry and are
basically anime's answer to
elsewhere fascists it's still nuts that
someone like tanya was allowed into the
army
not to mention climb the ranks to such a
high position
even if they were adept with spells and
highly efficient on the battlefield
you'd think any respectable military
body would train them up until they came
of age before sending them into a war
[Music]
zone
not here in this world you can be on the
military payroll
at the age of 9.
number food wars shokugeki no soma
we all love a bite to eat we all have
that one meal that makes us salivate
and on the rare occasion might make you
go damn that's good on the other hand
you're not going to find a dish
that is so perfect and so tasty that it
brings you to an actual climax
and yet that's exactly what happens when
soma serves up some food
if he's having a good day it will bring
his female companions to the edge of
bliss
when he's on a roll it literally makes
people's clothing explode
number five kids defeating an elite task
force
hikarashi when they cry kai there's a
lot we have to swallow when navigating
through this time-shifting horrorpalooza
young girls with cleavers festivals to a
mirror psycho god
why the hell kc hasn't skipped town yet
etc
but the one that pushed the envelope
just a tad too far
well seeing a group of young teens armed
with nothing more than bats
and a bunch of homemade traps taking on
a full militia of professionally trained
killers
and somehow winning
we all know rena has a kill count as
high as the sky but apparently
she's got a large supply of plot armor
as well
a little fan service never hurt anybody
and it can certainly be used as an
endearing character trait
that being said tamaki's consistent bad
luck and the almost predictable way her
clothing seems to disappear in every
scene she's in
has unfortunately gone to the point
where every strip piece of clothing
might as well be her character
development
[Applause]
simply turning a corner or tripping over
is never normal with tamaki
to the point where you start to wonder
if the forces of the universe
are actively trying to keep her in the
nude
number three letting children fight
yakuza my hero academia
you wouldn't send a recruit still in
training to take on a stronghold
filled with regular mafia so the same
applies to one with super powers
above the rest with their quicks the
attack on overhaul's home tiff
wouldn't be something you'd send a bunch
of first-year heroes to
makes for great shonen action for sure
but for a mission this dangerous
you'd expect something equal to that of
when pros took on the league of villains
they've obviously got plenty of top-tier
caped crusaders waiting in the wings
like wash and miracle so why wouldn't
they called it
number two pretty much every sports
anime
you know the tropes no matter how
awesome the result is
every sports anime tends to stick to
these well established rules
nice rookie even when you exclude
the times that characters go full-on
superhero and display abilities
that not even the most dedicated of
athletes could unleash
you've still got the cardinal sin of
realism everyone
is a miner think about it
the greatest sports stars in the anime
scene barely in their teens
all of whom are performing feats at an
olympic level
and make the professionals look like
chumps by comparison

number one card games on motorcycles
yu-gi-oh 5ds
an entire entertainment industry with
enough financial backing
and public interest to rival the super
bowl all
based around a children's card game it's
a stretch but in some weird way we can
kind of see it happening
playing said card game while also
driving a motorcycle at breakneck speed
[Music]
[Applause]
whoever designed this game was likely
obsessed with another kind of speed
altogether
even if you could somehow get
motorcycles to drive automatically
there's no way the average gamer could
balance tactical summons while also
trying to deal with going
a hundred miles an hour it's a bloody
death trap waiting to happen
