VEGETA'S LAW
The more smoke or dust that rises from an attack's area of effect, the lower the probability that anyone within the area of effect was actually harmed by the attack.
JOSEPH JOESTAR'S LAW OF SELECTIVE BILINGUALITY
All important non-Japanese characters are fluent in Japanese (especially if they've never visited Japan before), but still occasionally utter phrases in their native tongue for comedic effect. All unimportant non-Japanese characters (esp. extras) have no experience with the Japanese language, and will not even know how to say "Hello" or "Excuse me" in any language but their own.
Azuma's Corollary: The only Japanese characters who know English are those that have already been established as either geniuses or total jerkoffs.
LAW OF INTERSPECIES ATTRACTION
Wherever there is a fox monster, a raccoon-dog monster will shortly appear, and vice versa. When the two monsters meet, they WILL confront each other, often violently.
LAW OF DIMINISHED POTENCY VIA PROLONGED EXPOSITION
The more time a character spends explaining the effect of his special attack before completely and successfully executing it, the less likely the attack is to have the expected effect or even to do anything at all.
Post your own observations.

LAW OF DELAYED ACCELERATION
Bodies struck by multiple punches or kicks of approximately equal force in rapid succession will not begin accelerating until after the final blow hits. They will then accelerate in the direction of the force of the last blow, at a rate directly proportional to the sum of the forces of all of the blows suffered.

LAW OF HAIR ANTENNAE
This seems to be a new law recently:
1. Female w/hair antennae > importance to plot/romantic subplot then, Female with none
SOMETIMES:
Female w/larger or more numerous > Female w/ single or small antennae
2. Anime series will succesivly get larger/ more ornate antennae then the series that came before it.
THOERY: Hair antennae may come to the point years from now, where they start hanging bells and ribbons from them just to differentiate themselfs.
LAW OF LATE ENTRY

In any anime where the mean eyecolor/haircolor divergence between any two characters is greater than 1, any two characters with the same color skin, eyes, and/or hair will somehow be genetically related. The index of cosanguinuity is inversely proportional to the degree of dislike the two have for each other.
LAW OF CUTENESS PARASITES
Any female character in an anime who has attached to her a cuteness parasite, such as and not limited to: Cute hairbuns, animal ears, cat-like whiskers, abnormally large eyes; are more than likely to be the cutest character in the anime. Moreover, these parasites seem to suck the cuteness out of other characters, usually leaving one main character exceptionally un-cute, and then amplify the cuteness levels of their host by twitching or squirming with sound effects, often causing the eyes of their host to get large and sparkly.

The more time a character spends explaining the effect of his special attack before completely and successfully executing it, the less likely the attack is to have the expected effect or even to do anything at all.
Gainax made a show about a guy whose special attack name was so long that he never had a chance to actually perform it after saying it, but it's really hard to find now.
LAW OF LOVE
Love is the strongest power in all of existence, it can stop wars, bring people back from the dead and even halt the mighty Godzilla...
