Which Anime best fit these Proverbs? (Pt #1)

Are you the Ultimate Anime Proverb Guru?


Over the course of a few weeks, I hit up the Crunchyroll forums to ask “Which Proverb = Which Anime?” After several dozen replies, and all of them really good, I decided I couldn’t just pick a handful. I decided I will be breaking up the responses into a series of articles. Below are the first of many proverbs that Crunchyroll users have come up with to relate to some of your favorite anime.
