Can also known as "The One". A common cliche in sci-fi and fantasy. This individual, the "Chosen One" is the sole person chosen by destiny to stop an impending disaster that threatens all life, save the world from a super villian, stop corruption, etc.
Basically, the only person who can save the day. Not their sidekick(s). Not mom. Not Dan. Only them.

Buffy. Frodo. Link. Aang. Neo. Master Chief. All of these people have been the Chosen One at one time or another. Cuz they all saved the day.

a source of information that targets stupid news instead of REAL news. media is the reason why people are still miserable in war torn countries like the democratic republic of the congo and ghana and communist/facist societies like north korea because the stupid american's are soooooooooo concidered about what katie holmes is doing instead of sending funds to developing nations who desperately need it.
while mindless americans drool at E! looking at hugh hefner's slutty concubines, thousands of people are going hungry and are being slaughtered in dufur.
(sarcastically) thank you media!

also known as the "Mysterious Play", Fushigi Yugi is a shoujo ("girl", but it can be for guys too) by manga artist yu watase. its about this girl named Miaka and her friend Yui who get sucked into the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho (The Book of the Universe of the Four Gods). Through many events, Miaka and Yui become enemies. In order to save the world, Miaka must gather the Suzaku Seishi (Suzaku Celestial Warriors) as Suzaku no Miko (Priestess of Suzaku) and summon the beast god, Suzaku. A very good, touching, romance story. With TONS of cute guys. ^^ (Warning: You WILL need tissue)

Best fucking shonen anime/manga ever. Main protagonist is Himura Kenshin, who was the famed (if not infamous) Hitokiri Battousai during the Bakumatsu. After the revolution and a very bad event, he takes up the sakabatou and swore to never kill again and instead wandered Japan helping those who needed it in order to atone for his sins during his years spent as a shadow assassin. Story revolves around the freaks who try to prove themselves the strongest by attempting to kill Kenshin, people from his past who seek revenge against the ex-hitokiri, Kenshin's never ending quest to keeping the peace of the Meiji period with his friends, and of course, the romantic comedy that revolves between him and Kamiya Kaoru, the main female protagonist.
Best thing about this series is the amount of historical info and influence that is present throughout. Story spans through two of the most important eras of Japanese history: The late Edo(Tokugawa) Period and the early Meiji Period, and many characters were either loosely or
directly based off of real people from those eras. That, or Marvel characters says Nobuhiro Watsuki, the creator of Rurouni Kenshin. Rurouni Kenshin is basically a history lesson in comic book format. :D
Rurouni Kenshin fans have to be some of the most die-hard and most informative anime fans out there. We don't just swallow any form of Kenshin media that they give us and settle for it (Like "Rurouni Kenshin: Seisouhen", to totally melodramtic, un-canon "finale" of the Rurouni Kenshin saga), and, we actually learn more about the history and terminology of Rurouni Kenshin by reading BOOKS in our spare time.
Rurouni Kenshin is certainly an anime to behold and deserves way more recognition than some of anime that they continue to air on Adult Swim.

Rurouni Kenshin totally whoops Bleach's and Naruto's asses. Bleach and Naruto fans just can't comprehend the physics and historical data involved in Rurouni Kenshin like RK fans do.
Two things that all die-hard Kenshin fans know:
1) Himura Kenshin was not a true samurai.
2) Rurouni Kenshin: Seisouhen was shit.
'Nuff said.

any small, hyperactive woodland creature that belongs to the order "Rodentia" and the family "Sciuridae" that is bent on world domination and stealing nuts and seeds and "incidently" forgetting where they hid them. they team up with other small, beady eyed animals on their hysterical plot.
squirrels, hamsters, cockatiels, mice! they all have hypnotic powers in their beady brains. why else do they make ppl swerve off the road or become road kill in the end?
