So anime is my favorite kind of shows to watch but I have noticed things about it that just don't make sense and I thought it would be fun to talk about the things about anime that don't make sense or is just plain weird.
For starters why do most of the girls look like 14 year old's and yet have the massive boobs that look that it should be giving them back problems?
Also why when ever a guy is being horny when he sees a girl he rockets blood out of his nose and people act like it's normal and not a big deal? If I did that I would be freaking out and rushing to the er plus it looks like it would really hurt bad.

And for some reason the hair styles can range from really cool to really weird like spiky hair that looks like it's made of crystal formations I mean can you imagine the amount of hair gel needed to keep it that way?

How long have you two been watching anime again?
Of course a lot doesn't make sense for "certain purposes" like "humor" "attention"(making characters look cool,hot,or outlandishly different in some way like having a special power) and let's face it most of what interests kids in school is gossip or romance or whatever is the newest craze so anime stemmed from that and so you end up with shows that are "ridiculous" and of course some animes are intended for "adults only" so naturally a monkey wrench is thrown into the "age group" half the time and get stuff that is a "bit much" in some ways like "too scary"(like say Inuyasha it's great but gave the creeps a few times) or "too revealing/age disoriented"(like the original teen titans or, sailor moon or inuyasha again that either had nudity on a technical kid channel or put emphasis on "innuendo(suggestive comedy style including suggestion of being dumb struck by good looks or accidentally seeing more of a person) like say beast boy in love with a moped with love heart eyes or inuyasha staring at kagome coming out from a lake(him getting hurt by a sit command appropriately) it all adds up to "making things interesting" or "accurate to a small degree")
Also of course even some "suggestive elements" emphasizing on "differences" for young people like myself having a "character" to "relate to" or "want to be like" is an all time crowd pleaser and naturally some of that might include "how they dress or their "physical characteristics" or "attitude" for the longest time I couldn't take the show Sailor moon "seriously" because of her "repetitive lines" that to me kind of "bored battles" all anime has it's "downsides" because of the "makers" of the anime but in a nut shell it actually does make sense why anime tends to by not making "complete sense" because if they all did according to whatever culture it concerns(actually some do make sense but are mainly all story line and no battles) it would be "rather boring".
Anime is kind of like either "find a story" or "make up a story" and give it "twists" according to your overall audience,for example Samurai heroes sengoku basara(multiple series) the creator used old culture "legends" and bits of "real history" using certain "correct names of real people that lived" and "amplifying" what they "really did" for example one of my favorite characters,"Keiji Maeda" is portrayed in the series as strong and peaceful like where as his "actual history" shows he led a troop of horseman and defeated hundreds of men together with about 8 horsemen,showing that he wasn't necessarily known for "one on one battles" but well "legends" and "rumors" make for "popular stories" to "make somewhat more interesting and profitable".

And nearly all the characters in Dragon ball z named after "vegetables" or every day "common words" or "common items" like Broly is actually Broccoli as ironically master roshi calls him in Broly's movie lol or Bulma(Bloomers) Trunks(duh).

Don't forget all "full blood saiyans" hair "stay the same shape" as when they were born.(according to Vegeta)

The fact that, in some of them, characters have to announce that they are going to do a not-so-important thing (?)

The fact that they make insignificant things significant for some reason. Like this one yugioh show where the kids famous cath phrase is I'm going to try and he says it loud and as if it's something awesome to be saying

Actually that is kind of cool,not sure which person you are talking about though most Uma Sukamo who says "I'm feeling the flow"!
Although the new guy in Yugioh Arc V could be who you are talking about because he's just as determined Yuma and an ego that cracks me up.
