As an anime fan, you are probably already aware of the depth and meaning behind each dialogue said by anime characters, especially in popular animes like Attack on Titan, Naruto, and One Piece.

You wanna start watching anime? Check these!
The following animes are an excellent place to start if you are unfamiliar with the anime world. Some of them are meaningful and have depth, and some others are just fun to watch and chill with on a daily basis.
1. Attack On Titan
This anime is one of the best first choices for most people. It has mostly a dark atmosphere with depth in its plot. The plot follows racism and how it will affect some people to the point they can’t endure it anymore and will seek revenge. This anime was also my first to watch, showing the effectiveness of animes and mangas.
2. Death Note
This anime is one of the most classic yet beautifully written stories in the anime world. Despite 15 years of being around, people still talk about it, and it is one of the first recommendations you get as a newcomer to the anime world. Ths plot is about a high school boy who accidentally gains access to a godly power that shouldn’t be in man’s hand.
3. One Piece
Even though this anime is one of the longest animes in history with more than 1000 episodes and still going, it has one of the best plots and storytelling that you can find. It follows the journey of a boy who wants to become the pirate king, and for that, he needs to go through some life-and-death situations.
4 .Naruto
This anime’s popularity trough out the world, especially in the US, is unbelievable. The plot follows an orphan ninja boy who wants to become Hokage, but it’s sometimes more challenging than it sounds it is. This anime is also one of the longest animes with more than 700 episodes, but the good news is it’s finished, and you can pick it up right now without worries.

The point:
A close look at these anime quotes shows that 90% of them are about achieving a goal, which is one of the essential things in life. Having something to follow and to be passionate about will make you get out of bed every morning and see tomorrow as a bright day to look forward to.
That’s why you must find your dream, even if it takes you until your 50s or 60s. Giving up will make everything harder as you continue life, and you regret not following what makes you happy rather than anybody else.
Overall, animes are a perfect way to be entertained but simultaneously learn about life’s true meaning through fictional characters’ eyes.
This post is a compilation of some of the most inspiring anime quotes. There are so many fantastic anime quotes out there, and it’s tough just to pick a few, But we’ve tried to narrow it down to our favorites and the ones that are very famous and memorable among the otakus.
These anime quotes give us strength when we’re feeling, motivation when we need it most, and hope for a better future. They also remind us of all the good things anime can teach us, such as friendship, teamwork, courage, and more.
