Line 14:
** ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]]'' is the most popular manga, right? Eh, wrong, although it ''is'' one of the most popular. The title usually number one (as far as sales and readership go) is usually ''[[One Piece]]'', which often ranks as the third best-selling and critically acclaimed popular comic book ''in the world'' after [[Superman]] and [[Batman]].
** Most anime fans also claim anime is more accepted in Japan than it is in the west. It is not. Japan regards it as a juvenile, informal type of entertainment much the same way cartoons are viewed in general, and they have just as many [[Moral Guardian]] types as everyone else.
** All anime are adaptations of manga. Well, maybe most are, but ''not'' all. ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' and ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' became very popular with no manga at all. Plus, sometimes [[Anime First|it's the other way around;]] the ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' manga and all ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' mangas except [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)| the original]] are adaptations of the anime. And some anime are based on light novel series, including ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' and ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]''
* ''[[Space Runaway Ideon]]'s'' famous ending where it "blows up the universe" never happened. Granted it killed all of humanity (both Terrans and Buff Clan), destroyed hundreds of planets, spawned thousand of meteors that blew up the Earth, destroyed Saturn's rings, and took out much the Milky Way Galaxy, but the rest of the universe is just fine. This was largely a piece of [[Memetic Mutation]] as "Ideon blows up the universe" [[Rule of Funny|sounds a lot funnier]].
** In the other movie, it ''is'' stated by one of the Buff Clan protagonists such. This can be dismissed as hyperbolic enthusiasm, however.
