Magic Knight Rayearth/Funny

Manga

• Some of the first lines in the story, and in both versions.

Hikaru: "Aaaaaahhh!"
Friend: "What's wrong, Hikaru?!"
Hikaru: "The binoculars ran out..."

• The girls' arrival in Cephiro. Umi opts to mix panic, outrage, and high volume to deal with the situation. Fuu, on the other hand, is ridiculous in her attempt to stay calm and rational as though this is a normal situation, insisting on good manners and suggesting that that they arrived by way of Mt Fuji erupting. It only gets worse when Clef arrives.
• Presea's outrage, flawless logic, and gleeful anticipation for over-the-top punishments for Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu when they are accidentally caught in the trap she set for Mokona.

Hikaru: We just stepped through the doorway, and it fell right on top of us!
Presea: Well, yeah... [DRAMATIC POINT!] Who'd it catch? You! What's it mean? YOU'RE THE VANDALS!

• In some of the bonus material, Hikaru reveals that she hasn't seen her father since Kindergarten when he left on a training journey. Fuu immediately (and correctly) figures out the fact that it's because Hikaru defeated him in kendo.

Anime

• Presea has a very good one in the English dub when she's explaining to the girls how to select their initial weapons through their willpower.

Presea: Don't you know how to do anything?! Just close your eyes and think real hard!

• In episode 7 the girls decide to try out a device that Ferio had given them several episodes prior that he claimed would make wishes come true (when in fact, as seen later in this episode, it's actually a communication device). Umi goes first, wishing that they would rescue princess Emeraude so that she (Umi) would go back to Tokyo and win an upcoming fencing tournament. She then hands it over to Hikaru...

Hikaru: (takes a deep breath) IWANNASEEHIKARIIIIIIIII!!!!!
(Fuu and Mokona are blasted offscreen by the sheer force of Hikaru's yell)
Umi: (catches her breath, then blurts out) I thought you were gonna blow my ears completely off my head!
Hikaru: I'm sorry.
Umi: So, who's Hikari? Your brother, maybe?
Hikaru: No, he's my doggy.
Umi: (facefaults)
