Did you know in Anime?


  • That the theme of three sisters is used very often in anime, and that in almost all cases some of their characteristics can be traced back to the Three Fates of the Greek mythology? Most notable examples include Urd, Belldandy and Skuld from Ah My Goddess, or Atropos, Lachesis and Clotho from Five Star Stories.
  • That in Japan lovers write their initials under the picture of an umbrella, instead of inside a heart?
  • That the story of Disney's Lion King is suspiciously similar to that of a much earlier work by Osamu Tezuka?
  • That black cats are considered good luck in Japan?
  •  That the Japanese believe males get nosebleeds if they are turned on?
