That creepy paedophilic high school teacher who's always coming on to his female students? There's nothing wrong with him at all, he's just good for a laugh!

You know that execution order you allegedly received from those 46 big-wigs you practically never get to meet with in person?

Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai: Hey, wanna make friends? Well, the best way to do that it form a club and then manipulate and abuse every member frequently. Bonus points if a handful happen to have egos for you to go out of your way to bruise by humiliating them at every given opportunity. No one will ever call you out on it. Even better if one of them happens to be a child.

ALL PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED WITH HANDCUFFS. If it isn't working, the handcuffs aren't small enough.
Never mind if your ideals are completely correct—if you develop a God complex, you must die and your work must be undone. You just wanted to make the world a better place and had to make some insignificant-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things sacrifices? Sorry, you're not a nice person, so you lose.
Writing in books is dangerous and evil. It's not a pretty picture. (Dramatic and stylalized, perhaps, but not pretty.) Don't do it. Ever.
Mass-murder is AWESOME!!! There is NOTHING it cannot do. Start slaughtering people today and you too can have a hotgirlfriend, steady job, legions of devoted followers, and (drumroll please) . . . world peace! Even if you die! That's right, kids, utopia can be yours, just make sure you start out by bumping off criminals . . . that way, you'll be justified no matter how much of a monster you become. Everything you say and do is right! Just remember these three simple rules: 1) if you think they deserve to die, they deserve to die, 2) if they get in your way, they deserve to die, and 3) if the world isn't a utopia yet, that just means you haven't killed enough people! Act now! Utopia is just a drawn out mass-murder session killing away!

Fruits Basket: All parents suck, and all adults are worthless and manipulative.
Or, alternatively, a person should get pity over their situation when it's caused by someone else, but you shouldn't feel anger at whoever caused the situation in the first place, because that makes you a bad person.
God still hates you, and this time around he's there personally to mock you as he takes everything from you.
Having lost an arm and a leg gives you the moral right to berate non-amputee people suffering an emotional breakdown for being wangsty. After all, if they haven't lost a limb (and got fully functional prostheses which are actually useful in combat and a superpower to boot) what could they know about pain? Don't worry, they'll thank you for opening their eyes afterwards.
Killing someone for the sake of revenge is a terrible act, which may cause you to go Jumping Off the Slippery Slope. It's so much better if one of your allies, who doesn't have a personal reason to do it, kills that person.
Getting drunk and hallucinating may be just the thing you need to stop moping and save the world!
Even if you didn't want to commit a sin and were literally forced into it God still hates you.

In regards to that first point (starting a war to fulfil your own goals), that's not so much a warping of the movie's aesop but a negation and contradiction of the aesop.
Also, lung tuberculosis isn't contagious and you should pretend nothing happened should your best friend / brother substitute start puking blood. He only becomes completely dispensable when you find the brother he was a substitute for.
Actually, I'm relatively certain it was officially stated that it wasn't TB.
The series: God hates you, and once you screw up, you can never, ever be forgiven.
Every mistake you have ever made will come back to try and destroy the world.
It's all your fault. No exceptions.
Unless it's your father's fault, it which case you still have to clean up the mess.
Challenging societal norms is evil and blasphemous, and you'll suffer for it whether it was intentional or not.
Full Metal Panic: Hey, physical abuse is A-OK as long as it's female on male, but if you ever make her cry you're going straight to hell.
Also, falling in love and having feelings of humanity makes you uncool, weak, and Wangsty. Being an uncaring killing machine is much better for the soul.
Gun control laws are only suggestions. Nobody actually enforces them.
As long as you're doing it to protect someone you love, gang rape and humiliation will have no lasting effects on you.
Never mind how your boyfriend verbally (and sometimes physically) abuses you. He's really a broken and lonely soul who needs your unconditional love to get change for the better.
H - P
Haruhi Suzumiya: Rape is okay as long as both the victim and perpetrator are Japanese schoolgirls.
Also, the victim will secretly enjoy it and end up being a better and more confident person because of it.
See that cute girl over there? You're not allowed to date her. Ever. Otherwise your other female friend will get jealous and destroy the universe.
The best way to show affection for someone is to be abusive and demanding, and mask any signs of caring. Don't worry, your interesting personality will more than make up for it. Such behavior is also a great way to get the person to spend time with you.
Forget all the fun and exciting things that happen in a "mundane" world. If it doesn't have freaks, monsters, or anything that isn't grounded in reality, it cannot be fun. So go ahead and watch as the world burns. At least you'll be entertained.
Summing it all up, God is a jerk.
Telling the girl you like that you have a ponytail fetish can save the universe!
Nobody is who you think they are, and making friends with one random eccentric girl can condemn you to a like of danger and uncertainty. But it dosent matter because your normal life was too boring anyways.
Hell Girl: If you get revenge, you'll go to hell, but if you don't get revenge, you'll suffer horrible torment and then go to hell anyway.
Therapy is pointless. Condemning everybody who makes you unhappy to eternal torment in hell is the only way to get over your life's problems.
Hetalia: Soviet Russia was mean for taking over Eastern Europe. Axis Germany, on the other hand, was a decent and respectful power that only did minor wrongdoing such as taking over Eastern Europe.
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: Young girls who have their older brothers take care of them deserve to have the shit beaten out of them.
To be more precise, they need to have the shit beaten out of them at least once. It will make them better people.
If you find out that one of your friends has murdered someone, even in self-defense, you should help them cover it up, of course. It's what friends are for. (Never mind the fact that murdering someone in self-defense is a contradiction in terms!)

Even if you can try it thousands of times, some things are just hopeless unless you cheat.
Kara no Kyoukai: If you suspect that the girl you like is a psychotic serial killer, you should be friends anyway. If evidence points to her, ignore it. If she admits to it, don't believe her. If you see her standing in front of a headless corpse, covered in blood, holding a knife, rationalize that it wasn't her. If you then survive her inevitable attempt on your life, congratulations! You're both in love. She probably won't try to kill you again.
Love Hina: It's okay for a girl to beat the shit out of her supposed True Love for breathing too loudly, but if he does anything to stand up to her, he's a bastard.
And said girl who beats the shit out of you on a near-daily basis is obviously more compatible with you than anyone else and always has been.
Macross Frontier: It is perfectly OK for a guy to be in love relationship with two girls simultaneously.
If you are a famous star, don't encourage anyone to go into show business. Ever. They will always steal your position.
And it is 100% OK to do so along with taking their manager from them. If however, the now fallen star manages to get the guy you are in love with after that, she is absolute bitch and deserves to die, along with everybody around.
Mai-HiME (manga): Putting impressionable and emotionally unstable teenagers in charge of a school fraught with demonic and otherworldly invaders is perfectly okay.

Mai-Otome (manga): Men are evil, stupid, useless or any combination of the three unless they crossdress...or are already dead.
The best way to end all war is to shoot the interposition force first.
Want to get a girl to be in love with you? Shoot her little sister. She'll be so desperate, she'll fall in your arms immediately.
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Who cares about your ally getting killed? Your enemy side's casualties are more important than your ally side's!
Monsterclearly teaches kids that it's okay to avoid going to school if they honestly have something more interesting to do, like following a fugitive doctor around.
Alternatively, if you're a surgeon, you really should think twice before saving random hapless children.
Don't go against superiors and try to do the morally right thing by treating all patients equally regardless of social status. You'll just end up saving The Antichrist who'll kill thousands of innocents.
Muhyo and Roji: An incredibly lazy and snarky prodigy is a better candidate for a prestigious job than his hard-working friend who is determined to provide for his ill mother.
Negima!: It is perfectly reasonable to live in your possibly dead father's shadow. In fact, you should shave whole days off of your life so you can be more like him. And if you have a friend who is doing this, you should encourage him to continue because it makes him "mature" and "adult", even if he is a child.
The series later gives another option, if you don't want to stay in your father's shadow, choose dark powers over light! Despite the fact that it may eventually kill you, at least you don't have to worry about using The Power of Friendship to solve all of your problems.
If a child is doing incredibly stupid things because you're not telling him something, whatever you do, don't tell him! He needs to learn stuff the hard way, with lots of blood, sweat, tears, and wasted childhood.
If you are that child and someone tells you that you should relax a little, act like the child you are, and enjoy your childhood while it still lasts, don't. Instead, find a Year Inside, Hour Outside mechanism so that you can get out of childhood even faster, without wasting that Training from Hell in the process.
Being smart makes you weak and hesitant while being dumb makes you strong and confident. There will also never be any negative consequences to being confident without even knowing what you're doing.
Making out with your students is endearing, and there is no downside. In fact, you're rewarded with incredible items. Everybody wins.
Neon Genesis Evangelion, InuYasha, Excel Saga, probably a bunch of others as well: You should totally fall in love with the Handsome Lech or the Chivalrous Pervert. Sure he said he is in love with anything on two legs, but he also said it to you, so he must mean it. After all, it is not like the guy is evil, so his actions are perfectly okay. Once he settles down with you he will stop. And if he doesn't, that just means it is in his nature. Who are you to change him?
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Do you have an incredibly powerful weapon that is possibly your only hope for survival? Entrust it to emotionally unstable children!
Also, don't take that lithium! You might need to go into perpetual-motion mode to defeat an Angel!

If you don't want to have a Child by Rape that makes you a bad person.
One Piece: Chain-smoking is badass. Doing it in quantities that couldn't even fit in the average mouth is even cooler.
Saving your older brother must be your top priority. It doesn't matter if you need to let loose a bunch of the world's worst criminals in the process, one of which has done terrible damage to one of your True Companions' home country, you gotta do what you gotta do!
Killing someone is a terrible thing, but beating someone into unconsciousness is A-okay. It's actually a completely acceptable thing to do about someone you don't like. Don't worry, they won't risk to suffer brain damage or even death in the long run, even though modern medicine states that fainting will induce such things. Modern medicine is lying; they will wake up and be all fine after a short amount of time.
Ookami Kakushi: You should tolerate people who are highly aroused by your scent.
Wanting revenge on someone for killing your fiancee makes you a racist jerk.

Opening a present meant for your sister is a very, VERY bad idea.
Hugs can kill you if you're not careful.
Ouran High School Host Club: Girls shouldn't ever try to help anyone if they're alone. Also, it's a good idea to use attempted rape as a tool to remind women of where their place is and just how powerless they are.
Paranoia Agent: Lying is bad, kids! If you lie, you and everyone you've ever been in contact with will go insane and imagine being beaten up by a juvenile kid before a giant black blob consumes your hometown!
Correction: If you live in Tokyo and someone lies, you will be killed by a figment of their imagination.
Don't live in Tokyo.
A little girl accidentally letting her puppy die is the cause of all the problems in society, even if everyone else did worse things and just hid behind her lie. Only make her own up to it and the masses will obviously be spared and never cause something similar to happen ever again.
Are you a crooked cop, a violent burglar, and a pedophile who is abusing the trust of your only child by taking naked pictures of her? You don't have to face any repercussions! In fact, not only will you be treated like a hero for catching the wrong suspect, but your daughter will contract Hollywood Amnesia and never rat you out! (Alternatively: the worst thing that can happen for a criminal or a pedophile is for them to reflect and feel bad about their actions. Don't bother trying to actually send them to jail.)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Did someone just offer you the opportunity to make yourself truly happy? They cannot be trusted at all. And if they're only doing it because it will help save the universe in the long run, that means they must be destroyed.
Teenage girls' dreams are the driving force behind humanity's progress.
Doing what is necessary to prolong the end of the universe requires putting the well-being of everyone else in the universe before your own. This is a horrible, nightmarish, self-destructive process that no one in their right mind should agree to. You'd be better off letting everyone and everything die early.
And being idealistic about this situation in any way will earn you a horrifyingly gruesome death.
If you commit yourself to fighting evil so that the boy you love can once again pursue his passion, he'll choose your friend instead, and you'll turn into a monster, requiring the girl who was starting to become friends with you to sacrifice herself to kill you.
If you're a boy and a girl who deny any interest in each other and fight each other verbally and sometimes physically, you're a perfect couple, just adorably "in denial" about it.
It's cute and funny for a girl to beat on a boy because she's mad or embarrassed, but it's awful if a guy hits a girl who treats him bad.
It's okay for a guy to mock a girl's most sensitive emotional/mental weaknesses simply because she's bad-tempered.
It's okay for a girl to react to a boy with No Social Skills unthinkingly being a Jerk Ass by beating him with the nearest heavy object.
If you've been chasing a girl and professing your love to her for at least ten years, despite the fact she insists she's not interested to the point she routinely beats you up and tells you she hates you, to your face, keep at it! She's obviously just shy and will come to return your feelings soon. And if she finds another boy she genuinely does seem to like, well, he's obviously bewitched her, so try to beat him to a pulp, even kill him if you have to, so she'll fall in love with you instead.
It's okay to revile a guy for stalking you because he claims to love you, but to do the exact same thing to a guy you actually do like and who doesn't seem to be interested in you.
Soul Eater (after overtaking the manga) Teamwork and skill aren't really all that important in the end. Courage is the only thing you need. Also, nothing anybody else did counted as "courageous" for some reason. That includes the father who got himself blown up (pointlessly, granted, but that's another trope) to protect his kid.
Fear is bad. If can't confront what you're afraid of, you're either evil or at least inadequate and must be shown sense. By force if necessary. Children horrifically abused by their mothers are not exempt from this treatment. If you're not brave, you risk becoming less than human.
From the manga, apparently there is such a thing as knowing too much, because it will drive you mad and into isolation.
Mistreating people with OCD and/or taking advantage of their condition is HILARIOUS!
Summer Wars: Teaming up to take down a computer virus that threatens the entire world is the perfect way to remedy any and all family issues.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Shouting "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?" solves most of life's problems, great or small.
Even if you can wield the power of an entire universe, those you love dearest will still die, and there's not one damn thing you can do about it.
Real men can learn any fighting skill through sheer testosterone and audacity because they have THE SOUL OF A MAN. Real women, uh, can be quite badass at a lower level, I guess?
When your friend is distressed, punch him in the face whilst howling "LET'S SEE YOU GRIT YOUR TEETH!" and everything will work out. He'll thank you later.
ANY PROBLEM can be solved with LIBERAL APPLICATION OF CAPITAL LETTERS.
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle: So, your girlfriend got knocked into a coma, and the only way to get her out of it is to take a million-to-one shot at fixing it (and failing will probably get the both of you killed), and if you even succeed at all, she won't even remember who you are? Well if you don't jump on that million-to-one shot, you don't love her. Period.
The Tsundere-archetype: Treating people like shit is fine so long as you're really attractive, doubly so in regards to your loved one(s). Give 'em hell!
Even more so, the weaker partner in the relationship (unfortuately, all too oftenthe female) can get away with this when her parner is powerful enough that she wouldn't stand a chance in a fair fight.
Yu-Gi-Oh!: It's fine to run a criminal empire that deals in forgery, extortion, and general thuggery as long as it is your really crazy other personality that pulls the extreme shit.
Countries should drop military spending and invest in a children's card game, that'll make them rich. It worked for KaibaCorp.

No matter how competent you are, you will still lose any one on one contests against people with more friends than you.
If you meet someone who has lost any loved ones through no fault of their own, they're probably evil or creepy, and it's okay to rub it in their face how they are all alone, and have no friends!
Better yet, if someone loses their loved ones, they will always become evil!
Zero No Tsukaima: Hey Girls! remember, if a boy annoys you, to even the smallest degree, always remember that physical violence is your friend! whether it's punching him in the face, striking him with a bottle or kicking him in the testicles (it's not as if he needs them for anything right?) every technique is a winner!
