Now, the physics in anime can be pretty bad. I'm not talking about the Star Trek like particle beams, or even the impossible antics of superrobots. In what would otherwise seem fairly normal, sometimes physics gets totally thrown out the window. List some of the strangest ones.
1. Hair. This is pretty much the clear winner here. Hair defies gravity in almost every series. It also changes length depending on the angle at which it is viewed.
2. Boobs. (This is one of my favorites.) Somehow, it seems that when a girl takes off her shirt, her boobs get a full cup size bigger. If the bra comes off, it's an instant +2 cup sizes! What the hell? Are they compressible? Inflatable?
3. Sky-high punch. One punch is apparently all it takes sometimes to send somebody into orbit.

There's an article about physics in the world of Warner Brothers cartoons that makes some similar observations. It can be found online in various places. The first one that Google picked up was here:
What's wrong with the boobs? It would be great if the laws of physics worked that way in real life.

lol can you imagine how hillarious it would be if that was so. all the girls would have massive, bouncing boobies and like every five minutes some guy would accidentally fall and land smack in the middle of a pair, at which point the girls shirt and bra would just mysteriously evaporate or explode or dissolve or something, and BOING...

Actually, although hair may defy gravity (or you can just pretend they use a crapload of gel) the legnth changing is just for style so the characters can look better, and it's not done that often.
If it were REALLY a problem, they wouldn't be able to make eight-inch models or whatever.

Anime boobs are based on a true story... or so I hope XD

Some reviewer for Cowboy Bebop claimed that opening the hatch to your ship and holding your breath wouldn't work in space, since the vacuum would suck all the air out of your lungs anyway. Anyone care to verify this?
I'd be more concerned with the temperature extremes, personally.

That's actually right. The air pressure in your lungs would be far greater than what you could hold in. In fact, during the resulting decompression, the collapsing lungs would probably cause somebody to black out. Hence, should you ever be stuck in a situation where you will be exposed to a vacuum, you should let your breath out as the decreasing pressure pulls it out.

Well, okay, if you're trying to commit suicide via vacuum, yes, hold it in till you pass out instantaniously instead of waiting for all the other nastiness to kill you painfully. Presumably, you could survive the vacuum for a few seconds, perhaps to hit the "close door" button, which would require consciousness.

Actually, A vacuum would lower the boiling poit of your blood enough that it would evaporate and make you essentialy explode :)

Britai gets out of the spaceship whenever the fuck he likes. He can also fight robo-airplanes bare-handed. He's hardcore.

This is world4ch. You want images, back to 4chan with you.
Decompression from vacuum is the same as decompression from returning to the surface after an ocean dive. In both cases, it's a very bad idea to try and hold your breath. The rapid expansion of the air in your lungs can be quite damaging, even fatally so. Your blood doesn't exactly "boil," instead the air escapes & forms bubbles, again just like returning from an ocean dive. The "bends" can result from both rapid ascent from the depths, and from being exposed to hard vacuum. However, if you remember to not hold your breath, it's not really dangerous for brief exposures--30 seconds or so, and part of your body (like an ungloved hand) can be exposed to vacuum for a couple of minutes. One of the shuttle astronauts accidentally left his glove inside the airlock when they openned the bay doors (to the Big Outside) for a satellite they were working on. He was more embarrassed about such a silly mistake than in danger in any way. His hand was exposed for a few minutes, and felt a bit cold when he had to touch the metal on the satellite.
As for being sucked out of a hole or an open airlock, that's equally wrong. The pressure of "hard" vacuum is only -15 psi, with a pinprick hole, you might hear a faint noise if your were right next to it, but you wouldn't be in any real danger... unless you were really bored & decided to stick body parts in the hole... Even if the top were ripped off of your spaceship, -15 psi isn't really that much, you MIGHT feel a gentle breeze for a brief instant as the air escaped, but that's it. You wouldn't likely know that you were even in vacuum unless you tried to speak or breathe.
So, no explosions, no getting sucked out of a hole... space is kind of boring, really.
