Tags anthropomorphismAnthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to non-human beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena. If it`s an animal or an object (AI excluded) and it speaks and/or does other human-like things (dresses up) then we`re dealing with anthropomorphism. Anthropomorphism leans more on the animal-looking side when compared to juujin, which leans more on the human-looking side., comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy., daily lifeThe antics of the protagonists do not take place in some exotic setting or time, but in everyday life. Daily Life is basically a synonym for everything normal, repetitive, and trivial happening to your average person., mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. - [similar]

Tags ?

add/edit tags
· violenceViolence is the use of physical force against oneself or another entity, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt. +
· · animal abuseViolence against animals. The humane society will not like this. weightless
· · mutilationMutilation is an act of physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body. Some ethnic groups practice ritual mutilation as part of a rite of passage. In some cases, the term may apply to treatment of dead bodies, such as soldiers mutilated after they have been killed by an enemy. Maiming, or mutilation which involves the loss of, or incapacity to use, a bodily member, is and has been practised by many societies, and is also a customary form of physical punishment. weightless
· castno description set
· · animal protagonistThe anime revolves around an animal, usually only communicating with typical onomatopoeia. The animal mostly lives in a human family and has adventures on a regular base. This can be the discovery of a new room, or being lost by having taken a wrong turn in the outside world. Not to be confused with tag "animal world". Typical example: Chii`s Sweet Home. weightless
· · male protagonistThis anime has a male protagonist. weightless
· · stereotypesThis show presents stereotypes, which are generalizations about a group of people. Examples would be saying that people from a certain country or with a certain hair color are stupid. If the show deals with comedy, the stereotypes are likely to be played on for laughs; if the show is a parody, the stereotypes will be exaggerated to have their flaws exposed and may be used as a form of social commentary. ***
· storytellingno description set
· · narrationThe most common example is that of a voice, either that of one of the characters or entirely unrelated, that appears at the beginning of an episode to offer a summary or introduction, and at the end of an episode for closure or for a preview to hint upon what to expect next. weightless
· · walls of text"Walls of text" refers to Japanese text (in huge letters) that appears in large quantities in the anime. weightless
· anthropomorphismAnthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to non-human beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena. If it`s an animal or an object (AI excluded) and it speaks and/or does other human-like things (dresses up) then we`re dealing with anthropomorphism. Anthropomorphism leans more on the animal-looking side when compared to juujin, which leans more on the human-looking side. **
· · animal worldAll characters of the show are walking-talking animals. Their behaviour and clothing can resemble that of humans. They also may try to mirror human society. There are no humans present in this world. weightless
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **
· · absurdist humourSurreal humour is a form of humour predicated on deliberate violations of causal reasoning, producing events and behaviours that are obviously illogical. Constructions of surreal humour tend to involve bizarre juxtapositions, non-sequiturs, irrational or absurd situations, and expressions of nonsense. The humour arises from a subversion of audience`s expectations, so that amusement is founded on unpredictability. Its appeal stems from the situation being exceedingly ridiculous or unlikely. +
· · facial distortionThe characters face are exaggerated into a misshape, deformed, and almost warped. Used as comedy element to express extreme mood swings. Differing from "super deformed", here only the face changes to an extreme degree, not the whole body of the protagonist. weightless
· · funny expressionsThe facial expressions of the characters may change so quickly or unexpectedly distort that hilarity will ensue. weightless
· · medium awarenessMedium awareness is the situational awareness characters in works of fiction have and display of the very fact that they are characters in works of fiction. For example, they may quip about the script or narration, complain about their roles, and so on. The most common form of medium awareness is known as breaking the fourth wall, in which characters speak directly to the audience. The "fourth wall" is the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage through which the audience sees the play. +
· · slapstickSlapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. +
· · · violent retribution for accidental infringementA comedy / slapstick element often found in Ecchi anime: The hilarity derives from spontaneous embarrassment, overreaction of the "victim" (girl), immediate retribution for a seemingly inappropriate act, and a sense of pity with the supposed "aggressor" (boy). +
· · wordplayThe characters play with words. E.g. purposely or accidentally use similar-sounding but wrongly applied words in the Japanese original, leading to supposedly funny misunderstandings and confusion. weightless
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · faceless background charactersUnimportant random/extra characters that appear mostly as part of the background are often drawn without much facial details, normally to save money, effort and manpower for more important parts of the show. Sometimes, they have almost or no facial details, meaning their heads only have indications of the presence of parts such as hair or mouth, or not even that. This can go as far as only drawing an abstracted silhouette of the whole body. weightless
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. weightless
· alternating animation styleThe animation style in this show may change between scenes, usually making the anime experimental in a way. This may be a form of artistic visualisation. weightless
· CGIComputer-generated imagery (CGI) or computer animation is the art of creating moving images via the use of computers. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time rendering needs. weightless
· · 3D CG animationAbbreviation for "three-dimensional computer generated animation" or "computer graphics" (CGI). The traditional 2D art is enhanced by 3D imagery developed through computer modeling software. Done in the right way, this union of 3D in a 2D animated world can be a very beautiful relationship. weightless
· multi-segment episodesMulti-segment episodes are split into several short segments (parts), usually with separate titles and independent storylines. Not to be confused with short episodes, which are regular episodes that are much shorter than the standard length (up to and including 10 minutes). Also not to be confused with an OVA or music video with multiple (otherwise unrelated) full-length bundled episodes consolidated into a single episode video track. weightless
· daily lifeThe antics of the protagonists do not take place in some exotic setting or time, but in everyday life. Daily Life is basically a synonym for everything normal, repetitive, and trivial happening to your average person. **+
· · working lifeThe life of someone actually working on a often less than glamorous job is depicted in this anime. The job is taxing and the pay is low, not really the dream job one would choose to work in. Examples: Working as salesperson in a department store, or as a waitress in a family restaurant. **
· friendshipThe feeling of trust, kindness, and friendship between a group of high school students for example, is a central theme of this anime. +
· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. +
· · high schoolA secondary school that usually contains grades 10 through 12 in Japan, or 9 through 12 in America. +
barbecueA barbecue is a cooking method, the associated gear, and the food prepared through it. The word is normally associated with slowly and indirectly smoking food through high-smoke heat sources such as dry wood or charcoal, which distinguishes it from grilling, and the type of food most often barbecued is meat. Barbecuing has numerous regional variations in many parts of the world. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 11
furo sceneFuro (polite: Ofuro) is Japanese for bath, specifically a type of bath which originated as a short, steep-sided wooden bathtub. Baths of this type are found all over Japan in houses, apartments and traditional Japanese inns (Ryokans). 1 eps applies to episode(s): 2
group dateUsed to form at least some friendships between two groups that are each of a single sex. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 1
hanamiHanami (花見, lit. "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms or ume blossoms. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 3
late for schoolOne of the central characters in a school setting keeps on getting up too late in the morning, and thus has to show frantic activity at breakfast, to then rush to school. This is also related to "guy/girl running with toast in mouth" and may include the "running into a character of the opposite gender" scene. 2 eps applies to episode(s): 1, 6
post-credits sceneA little bit of the story is found after the credit titles. A little bonus for those patient enough! This applies regardless of if the credits play over an ED sequence, or over the "regular episode" that continues to air into the credits. A sequence at the end of an episode, showing what will happen in the next episode, is NOT a post-credits scene; that is a preview. 7 eps applies to episode(s): 6-12
vacationno description set 1 eps applies to episode(s): 7
