Believe It 

In my honest opinion, the most annoying phase. It is used by the main character of the anime/manga Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. The phase is more often used in the first arc of the original Naruto anime, but scares off people who haven't watched the anime. It is only used in the English dubs. Narutards use the phase at the end of sentences, like the hero of the anime, Naruto.
...Meanwhile, in an anime forum...

*Person 1 is posting on a Death Note area*

Person 1: I'm gonna be Kazekage! Believe it!

Person 2: STFU. Go back to your Naruto area.

Person 1 got warned once by Person 2. Reason: For being off-topic in the Death Note area. Please, if you want to join the Narutards, go to the Naruto area. There's role plays waiting to be joined.

Oha-Lucky 

It's used in the anime Lucky Star. Oha-lucky just means Hiya Lucky! translated into English. It is used only by Akira Kogami, the fourteen-year-old diva. It is used only in the ending segment, Lucky Channel.
Oha-lucky is my favorite quotation from Akira Kogami.

Tsundere 

Japanese slang for one who is not nice and gets pissed off easily on the outside, but deep in the inside, is nice, caring, and gentle at all costs to the main character. It is usually used in anime/manga. The tsundere character usually shows his/her tsundere-ness in the later episodes/volumes/chapters.
Kagami Hirragi from the anime/manga Lucky Star is a great example of tsundere.

Japanese slang for bipolar. A yandere character usually have a lot of mood swings. They have a nice side and an evil side, kinda like ying and yang, white and black... those kind of stuff. They quickly change from the nice side to the evil side, and repeat again and again. It is more often used in anime/manga. There is often another character, usually can be stiff as a board easily, who is normally the 'victim' of the yandere character's evil side.
Akira Kogami from the anime/manga Lucky Star is a great example of a yandere character.

No, not Japanese animation porn. That would be hentai. Anime is short for Japanese animation, but isn't porn. Anime began at the start of the 20th century, 1917. The first talkie anime is Chikara to Onna no Yo no Naka. The first anime film was Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors, in 1944. It represents most, if not all, of fiction in Japan. They come with voice actors for the non-Japanese versions, and seiyuu with Japanese. The abbreviation emerged in 1970. Usually, the anime comes after the manga.
Anime isn't porn, at all. How can you explain the adventure/action stories of Naruto, Bleach, and Dragon Ball Z? How can you explain anime and pop references in the anime/manga Lucky Star? There's so much anime that isn't hentai, at all.
