From Compile Worlds
As you may know, there are lots of Anime Stereotypes. Some of your favorite characters are examples of them. You may be familiar with a lot more of these archetypes than you think. This strange and interesting page will sum up just about all 9001 Anime Stereotypes JUST FOR YOU! Most of these stereotypes also seem to apply to video games, especially RPGs in particular. Those japs are always finding some way to entertain us sloppy Americans happy people.
Stereotypes
Spiky-haired Protagonist
The Spiky-Haired Protagonist (SHP) is one of the 2 most often seen Anime stereotypes. Usually, these characters are teenage boys or young adults, with spiky hair in (usually) bright colors. The Boys are often naive, mischievous, and have a strong sense of justice. Occasionally, you will find a SHP who is downright Boyish or disgusting. Examples of SHP include Goku of Dragon Ball fame, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, and to somewhat more immature and stupid degree, Ash Ketchum from Pokémon.
The Magical Girl
The Magical Girl is the second most common Anime Stereotype, only second to the Spiky-Haired Protagonist. The Magical Girl usually struggles with a double life; one being her social girl life, and the other being her crime-fighting ass-kicker life. She usually specializes in white magic and has some sort of staff, wand or other seemingly useless item to help her transform and channel her powers. They usually have long hair, spend half their time in cute japanese sailor outfits, and are associated with flowers and stuff. Personality wise, they usually tend to be stubborn and have an attitude, but they still have good morals and cheerful personalities. Sailor Moon, Momo from Wedding Peach, Sakura from Card Captor Sakura, and to a lesser extent, Arle, are all examples of Magical Girls.
Bubbly Bitch
The Bubbly Bitch is a less common archetype than the Magical Girl and the SHP, but they are still rather common. They usually have short hair, and have been trained to use offensive skills well. They also abuse portable holes and Hammerspace frequently. As for their personalities, Bubbly Bitches tend to be what you'd think they'd be. They're bubbly or overly happy, have a crush on the SHP, and usually have anger-management problems. Examples of a Bubbly Bitch are Bulma from Dragon Ball Z, Amy Rose from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and more recently Daisy of the Mario Series.
Emofag Anti-hero
the Emofag Anti-hero (EFAH) is an archetype you probably already know and hate (Because SEGA abuses it). As you might think, an EFAH is pretty much an emofag who tends to be neutral in the Light vs. Dark arguments. They are annoying and can't ever stop bitching about something. They usually have a gothic or emo design, and tend to wear or have shades of black, grey, and red. Examples of EFAH's are Shadow the Hedgehog, Vegeta, Klug( to an extent), and Sasuke from Narutard.
The Tsundere
The Tsundere is an archetype that you either love or hate. These girls have a really annoying personality, as they constantly deny their feelings for their love interest, and are very harsh to them, but can still act nice to everyone else. These girls are usually portrayed with a hard life. Examples of tsundere include:
- Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, Shana from Shakugan no Shana, Sanzenin Nagi from Hayate no Gotoku!, and Katagiri Yuuhi from Akana-iro ni Somaru Saka, who are all voiced by the same seiyu and are all the main female role.
- Sakura from Narutards
- Aisaka Taiga from ToraDora!
- Tendo Akane from Ranma 1/2.
