I was in a conversation with a couple of friends the other day about anime/manga formulas. This is essentially taking a popular (or unpopular) anime/manga and breaking it down to the basics. For example:
[1 minute intro][7 minutes of yelling][2 minutes of rage-faces][15 minutes of powering-up]
[3 minutes of fighting]+[1 minute ending credits]= the average episode of DragonBall Z.
Any others that you guys can think of? Post 'em here!
