Five ways to convince your parents to let you watch anime:

1. With every episode you are learning the japanese language.

2. Watching anime can relieve stress, and when you build up too much stress you go nuts and write backwards.

3. When reading subtitles in the anime, you are expanding your vocabulary.

4. Reading the subtitles, learning the japanese AND figuring out who is going to die next trains ultra high multi-tasking skills that could be use full in studying.

5. Watching anime could stimulate real life situations so you make the right decisions. So people, next time, if you see wierd guys wearing black robes with red clouds and a hiate with a line a cross it, know to turn around, run like hell and start screaming, "FREE RAMEN!!!" and hope Naruto will come.
