Berserk

“Living for the future is more important than trying to avenge the past.”

“It's all right. It's like stumbling on a rock on the roadside. It's petty...a small thing. The place you want to go...is more distant farther off. So...it's all right. You'll stand up. And you'll start walking. Soon...”

“From where I stand...you're the same as that idol you worship. Completely hollow.”

“You went alone. You were right beside those irreplaceable things...yet you couldn't bear to immerse yourself together in sorrow with them. So instead...you ran away so that your own malice could burn within you.”

“Things you have now, things you've lost. People who're near by, people who've gone far away. No matter what you choose, truth is, both regret and reluctance are going to follow you around. You just have to make sure you don't make excuses to yourself down the road.”

"You will bear witness to the end of your journey....it is not always a happy thing."

"Because people fear the unknown they speak the same words to one another. Because they fear the unknown they distrust words they don't understand. Because they fear the unknown they believe in a doctrine. Because they fear the unknown they reject other gods. People must cope with their world because of the unknown."

"Even if you force back what once was, things will never be the same."

Oregairu

"It is better to be hated for what you are. Then to be loved for what you are not."

"Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care."

"People who don’t work hard don’t have the right to be envious of the people with talent. People fail because they don’t understand the hard work necessary to be successful."

"It’s impossible not to hurt someone. Humans unconsciously hurt others simply by existing. Whether you’re alive or dead, you keep hurting people. Getting involved will hurt them, but trying not to involved might hurt them too."

"People’s thoughts don’t always mirror how they feel. That’s why they sometimes make decisions that seen nonsensical."

"Fake friends are like shadows. They follow you in the sun. But leave you in the dark."

"There are things that cannot be taken back. But the world will keep on spinning whether you laugh or you cry."

"People will rationalize their own behavior whenever they become tainted with evil; they're not supposed to be evil. In order to preserve their own twisted integrity, the world becomes twisted."

"We all have our own personal image that's dictated by others—one that's always off the mark. We wish to remain true to ourselves. But who gets to decide who we are as people? When our image never goes hand-in-hand with reality, where can we find something genuine? Where can we find our true selves?"

"It doesn't matter if we're wrong, because every time we go wrong, we can continue to look for the right answer."

"If wishes could be granted, if desires could be fulfilled, then I wouldn't wish or desire for anything after all. The things you're handed on a silver platter are never genuine and never everlasting. And that is why I'll always keep searching."

"Yeah, I'm being stupid. I know that it's out of question. I know how this will end. I'll be left with nothing. Even so, I want us to think, writhe, struggle… and find… something genuine."

"It's so nice that toxic people stop talking to you. It's like the trash took itself out."

“Nobody's perfect. They are weak, with ugly hearts, and they quickly turn to jealousy. They try to knock others down. It's so odd . . . In the world we live in, the greater a person is, the more difficult his or her life becomes.”

Dangangronpa

“It is not the strong or the smart that survive, but the ones who can bring about change.”

“It’s odd, isn’t it? People die everyday and the world goes on like nothing happened.”

“The act of searching for hope, to try and find it—that by itself is the true meaning of hope. As long as you have that hope, you can keep moving forward no matter what trouble you may fall into.”

“Now’s no time to wallow in your depression. The worst thing we can do right now is lose all faith in each other. That would lead to the same disastrous result as having total faith in everyone else.”

“Fear is proof that your imagination is functioning. Frankly, I feel bad for anyone who can’t feel fear. Without imagination, you can never deduce which action to take next.”

“Also, the “fear” experience is a little different from yours, I imagine. You’re afraid of what you might lose, right? But I’m afraid of what I’ve already lost.”

"Protection against deception, and never allow others to read your emotions. And whoever stands before you, don't let them push you around. Remember that."

"Being alone is not synonymous with being lonely."

Eighty-Six

"If you're to die tomorrow, do you hang yourself the night before?"

"Every person is their own irreplaceable individual"

"That which is most enjoyable lasts least long."

“Giving up because you know a dream can never come true and simply sitting and waiting for fate to claim you... Or fighting against fate and crying out against the dying light, even though you know that dream will never be realized. Those are decidedly different things.”

“It is kindness to prepare a comfortable roost for an injured bird... But to prevent it from taking flight once its wounds have healed, because you fear the world is too dangerous, means confining it to a cage.”

“Democracy does not enable the majority to treat the minority however it wishes! Our national policy, the values of the five-hued flag, apply to everyone equally, and that was the basis for our constitution! How can we even pretend to be a Republic if we can’t even follow that?!”

“…If we have to kill children because they’re unfamiliar to us… Because of a one in a million chance they might be a threat… If that’s what humankind has to do to survive, then we deserve to be wiped out.”

"I understand that you've got nothing but your pride keeping you together. But tht's no way for a complete human being to live. People are bound by blood and are grounded by the environment they live in. If you have neither and try to define yourself just by who you personally are, you'll lose sight of what's important and lose yourself. Never forget that."

"...those who claim to be human, yet resort to violence instead of words are irredeemable."

"You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of."

Madoka Magicka

“...We understood nothing at all. Not what it meant to wish for a miracle... nor its price.”

“What is more passionate than hope and deeper than despair? It's love.”

“Why does humanity always cast aspersions on others simply out of regret for their failure to understand the consequences of their own decisions?”

“You pick the one thing in the world you wanna protect, and you protect it to the end…that’s the right answer.”
