Girls Band Cry

Please give me the middle finger!Nina Iseri

A compilation of fans’ reactions being put off by Nina Iseri [Girls Band Cry] [Rock]
Please give me the middle finger! Inashiba Nina

Let me introduce one of the most moving scenes from “Girls Band Cry”! Nina is a shy girl who has always gone along with others and read the room.

She never stood out in elementary, middle, or high school and didn’t have any big dreams—but meeting “rock” changes her drastically.

Momoka, too, changes after meeting Nina.

The phrase “Stick your middle finger up” is something Momoka left on Nina’s guitar, meaning she wants Nina not to lose—to never back down.

In this scene, Nina’s one line is a legendary quote that answers Momoka from the heart.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Even I can understand something yet still not be able to accept it…!Athrun Zala

Even if I understand something, I still might not be able to accept it...! Athrun Zala

This is a famous quote by Athrun Zala, the second protagonist of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED—hailed as the “First Gundam of the 21st century”—who also appears in its sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY.

Isn’t it a situation we’ve all experienced at some point, where we can ‘understand’ what someone is saying but still can’t ‘accept’ it?

Mobile Suit Gundam 00

Asking a soldier about the meaning of war is nonsense.Graham Aker

Asking a soldier about the meaning of war is nonsense. — Graham Aker

From Mobile Suit Gundam 00, this is a line by Graham Aker, the protagonist’s greatest rival.

After saying this, Graham crosses blades with the protagonist and leaves behind the words, “I’ve avenged them,” referring to his fallen comrades.

In the end, the meaning of battle wasn’t for his own ego, but for his comrades.

order-taking person Hyōdo Kazutaka

This is a famous quote by Kazutaka Hyōdō from the anime Kaiji.

Hyōdō is the head of the company.

He said it when scolding a highly capable subordinate.

It carries the meaning: if you can make the optimal decision, don’t wait for instructions—act.

Once you’ve reached the stage where you can execute instructions, this might be what’s required for the next step.

Shogo Makishima, the mastermind of the first season of the anime PSYCHO-PASS, torments the protagonist as a man who exists outside the norms of a society where all citizens are monitored.
