There are some true gems among Anime dialogue (now I'm not going to get into the whole debate on dubs vs. subs) but I've decided to list some great lines (most are from dubbed).

!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!

Tenchi Muyo

//bedroom encounter between Tenchi Masaki and Ryoko//

[Ryoko] "Now, I want your balls please."

[Tenchi M.] "No way they're mine and I'm gonna keep them!"


[Ryo-ohki] Miya! //OK so it's sappy it's just too cute not to quote!//

Space Pirate, mummy big deal... she's cute! Stop looking so nervous Tenchi!
[Ayeka]Leave Tenchi alone!

[Ryoko] Tenchi is mine!

Nothing really awe inspiring here, other than my fascination with Tenchi's amazing luck. Don't we all wish we had two (or more) women chasing after us? Erm... ok maybe that was just me.

 

Macross (sub)

//middle of a firefight with the Zentradi//

[Rick Hunter] "What's more important? Your hair or your life?"

[Minmei] "Hm I've never thought about that" *pause to play with hair* "My hair of course."

 
Martian Successor Nadesico

[Vocals] "You get to burning!"

//HEALTH ADVISORY:  Watching the entire Nadesico box set in one setting has been known to cause this song to become permanently lodged in ones memory//

[Ruri] "Baka."

//Tail end of the series relating to a Kirk like plan to blow up the Nadesico//

[Admiral] "I've learned something and that is that self destruction is really really stupid."

It's hard not to laugh at Ruri
