Most stories have a moral to them, and even animes can teach a lesson or two about life or living in general. I picked out a few scenes and quotes that are appropriate for philosophical deliberation but they only represent a small sampling of what's available. What else do you think classifies as Otaku wisdom?

"When we walked, it felt like we were all on the same path. But everyone was on a different one. They're all walking on their own path right?"

Anyone perchance know which episode from TTGL this quote by Kamina is from?
It goes a little something like this: 'Do you know why people have eyes in front of their heads? So that they look forward to the Horizon...'

[Retrorock]

but it is also to look at the backs of people in front of you. or something like that

[Anoody]

Peace Maker Kurogane
Ep 2
You said you were going to exact revenge for that purpose ,should you abandon everything even your humanity?

Ep 8
What you've got on your hip, or what kinds of swords you've got doesn't matter one bit

Gurren Lagann
Kamina
Episode 6
"Do you know why people have eyes at the front?
It's to see the the vast landscape and to move forward...
If we had eyes in the back, we'd only see ourselves leaving our birthplace. That way people wouldn't
be able to move forward.
Our eyes are at the front, so that when we walk, the distant landscape draws closer.
That's why people can move forward."

[GodsDragon]

Shiro from Fate Stay Night:

"People die when they are killed."

Shiki from Tsukihime talking about this chair:

"Disappear.
This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. "
