Obviously drinking games can make a bad movie easier to bear so I thought why not try and think of some anime tropes that can be exploited for drinking =P

One I heard/ read on a forum one time: Drink everytime a character makes a vocalisation that is not a word (so mnn's heh's and hrrm's etc, martial arts battles are exempt otherwise you'd hit the floor before either combatant did)

And one I thought of: Drink every time a character leaves a sentence unfinished and twice if it's the end of an episode (e.g. "But I..." or the end of the first ep of Code Geass)

If anyone has any fun sugestions let's hear em =)

Drink everytime a character responds to a statement by repeating it as a question.

Repeating it as a question?

Why, yes.

have a swig everytime someone's panties are shown/emphasis on ass/boobs/nudity

also take a shot everytime a protagonist gets the crap beaten out of him and proceeds to make a comeback

That's a good one =P

Drink every time a character spends a long time charging an attack and gravity seems to forget it exists (Dragonball, Street Fighter)

Drink every time the lead guy nearly confesses his love to the lead girl, but fails for no apparent reason.


Only problem with this one is that it's a facet of Japanese, rather than a facet of anime, so you're going to be doing some serious drinking. I like the idea of using it as a bonus if it's deliberately put in at the end of an episode, though.

love this one, although it only works with rom-coms

watch a manga adaption, preferably naruto,bleach, one piece or something along those lines, and take a drink for every minute of material that isn't in the original media.

Yeah, true. We could even come up with some show-specific as well as genre-specific ones, I'm sure, although nothing comes to mind atm.

Every time this occurs, one must take ones tipple.

Drink every time a piece of animation is reused.

It's a pretty universal rule that will get you pretty drunk on its own. Initiate a rule where you drink an additional finger for every time that piece of animation has already appeared. If you want to kill yourself, watch a Gundam series. If you want to kill yourself quickly, watch Macross 7.

Drink everytime someone says "Dieeeeeeee!!!!!!"

Drink every time someone swears in Black Lagoon.

Drink heavily every time Rie Kugimiya says "baka, urusei". This isn't really a game so much as a confession.

Drink every time Light starts an internal monologue.

You could do the same with some of the old ADV shows (Jiggle Counter anyone?).
