Mitsune Kiyo

PostPosted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:55 pm


This all started when Kitkat and myself decided to make a list of anime stereotypes. Originally, we were going to write a story so unoriginal, it was hilarious, but then we never got around to it. Instead, we have a growing list, and I thought it would grow faster if you guys added to it.

Kitkat583 and Mitsune Kiyo
- A character's importance is judged by the weirdness of their appearance or name.

- In shonen anime, all women will have B-cups or above. If one does not, she is either a toddler or an important character.

- EVERYBODY in Japan has enough money to head to the hot springs at least once, even if the country is overrun by giant robots.

- If you are in a tournment, and your guy loses, don't worry about him. He'll be up and commenting next episode with no wounds at all.

- If said teammate ISN'T up, however, you should immediately assume that he is dying.

- Eat all you want; You'll never get fat, at least not permanently.

- It doesn't matter if you are shy--If you are female, you will most likely be seen naked or in a short skirt at least once.

- If you are female, and you can fight, expect to have your clothes ripped off everytime you do. (Unless it's shoujo)

- Shrine miko always have awesome powers.

- Don't worry about a language barrier--everyone has already learned yours beforehand.

- If they have not, someone in your group will know the language and translate.

- Anyone who cannot remember their past is BIG trouble--especially if it's a girl.

- There will always be some type of prodigy or genius. (not neccesarily evil, though)

- Said prodigy will usually have a mysterious past.

- If the main character has a family, there's usually one crazy/mysterious member. If they don't, their family usually shows up (or is brought up) later.

- If a boy and girl are standing under sakura, it's a sure sign that they are in love.

- No matter how serious a character/situation is, something humorous will always arise.

- No matter how someone dies, someone else is going to blame themselves.

- The bad guys treat their henchmen like crap, yet said henchmen are unquestionably loyal. If there's one that (s)he doesn't, that person will probably die, making the bad guy insane for revenge.

- There will always be SOMEONE--usually the main character--who can make friends with anyone, thereby changing their ways.

- If there's someone who keeps one eye covered with hair or otherwise, they always have something weird going on with said eye.

- If you are fighting in a tournment, and your main insanely powerful rival/enemy is competing, you will always face him (and his team, if it's that kind of tournment) in the very last round. You will then beat him, and if it's a team tourny, your teammates will completely and unrealistically pwn his.

- If by some chance, you are losing said final round, your teammates will pull an unrealistic turnaround.

- People usually scream their attack names, which SHOULD give people an idea of what kind of attack it is, but usually doesn't.

Soo....Discuss! Debate! And above all else, ADD to our almighty list!

That's the power of DAMN GOOD health insurance!

Let's see... Oooh, I think I got one!

Siblings will either love each other to the point of dying to save the other, or they will strive to kill each other. There is no inbetween.

It seems like most of that list can apply to Yu Yu Hakusho.

-The Japanese school system tends to ignore the incredible damages caused by their brawling students. (Perhaps they're afraid to mention it?)

Haha, we were kinda thinking that, too. It's drawn from lots of different anime, though. (The ones involving tournments are mostly from YYH, Mär, and Flame of Recca.)

As for my contribution (to my own list sweatdrop ): If a character talks about their first crush, they will always run into said first crush.

It took a while but I got another one!

- See that person in the corner? The boy/girl who keeps to themselves and never says a word? In due time, the main character will either fall in love with that person or kill them, depending on their hair color (more specifically, whether it matches (love!) or clashes (kill!) with the main character's).
