The four types of anime romances
Okay whatever I saw this and didn't want to make a thread so I'm posting it here
>>287620844only 4 is good
>>287620844This is so retarded and reductionist. Inuyasha is colorful protag x plain heroine but it does not follow any of the conventions this infographic states for that particular pairing.
>>287620844>>287620904The five types of anime romances
>>287620936How so?
>>287620844i never see 4
>>287620844Consider the following.
>>287621561I'd rather not.
>>287620936>Inuyasha>not soft shojo
>>287621561Lower left says "colorful heroine" but has a plain chibi.
>>287621561Kys
>>287621561yuripigs are pathetic.
>>287620844Where does Kaguya-sama fit?
>>2876215614 is kino
>>287620844What's a colorful x colorful example?
>>287621561Isn't 2 just gurren lagann?
>>287622920Designed like the top left, written like the bottom right.
>>287623090You'd have to be in a circus to consider Yoko plain.
>>287620936Are you baiting? The description fits InuYasha to a tee.
>>287620844This is what I want
>>287623137No it does not. Kagome has an arguably more colorful personality than Inuyasha does.
What category do these two belong to?
>>287623160>arguablyquit it with your weasel words
>>287623176Sure, if you quit it with the trannycase.
>>2876215613 is my favorite. We need more of 3.
>>287623160Being lively isn't what it comes down to. Kagome is obviously and explicitly an "Ordinary Girl".
>>287623252>Being lively isn't what it comes down toIn 1 the inforgraphic says "neither character dominates the screen with an exaggerated personality", that implies that "plain" does not merely convey their physical appearance but also their temperament.
>>287623283it's >implied
>>287623283You can reasonably argue that InuYasha is written like 4 as well as 2, but InuYasha is very much 2 in both design and writing.
>>287623332Yeah, just like you're >implying that being lively isn't what it comes down to.
>>287623371>InuYasha is very much 2 in both design and writing.But not character traits
>>287623384I dunno dude, Kagome just acts like a regular girl
>>2876208442 is also common in battle shonen that involve a heroic male lead with a tradwife love interest. Goku/Chichi, the JoJo marriages, Yusuke/Keiko, Naruto/Hinata, and Ichigo/Orihime come to mind, although some of these are more written or designed like 4.
>>287623384What are you smoking? Kagome is 1000% a plain girl, a female self-insert, and the manga's viewpoint character. Her characterization is a lot more relatable to girls than charming to guys and it's not even close.
>>2876208444 barely ever happens because of the self-inserters
>>287623457She has a plain appearance but in terms of character they both stand on an equal footing. Inuyasha does not "dominate the screen with an exaggerated personality" like the infographic says.
>>287623169Mostly 1 with a bit of 3
>>287620844Marin?
>>2876208441. basic romcom2. shojo 3. moeblob4. not a romcom
Allow me to solve all your arguments by just getting rid of the text. There, now you can project whatever feelings you want on to each of the archetypes without any concern for being "canonical"
Why is the colorful heroine so ugly?
>>287623583ugly is the new moe
>>287623562Wow, King Solomon over here.
>>287623583She looks like a Nu-Trigger main girl.
>>287623615
>>287623490That indicates a problem with the description, which you should be able to tell is not a definition.
>>287623631>That indicates a problem with the descriptionThere is. The infographic would be better off without it, like >>287623562 points out.
Why everything have to be in extremes? I just want a normal, but above average/attractive looking characters. No need for quirky shit like Yugioh tier hair or people with Jojo build
>>287623647being mediocre is not admirable
>>287623499I think they're both equally plain and both equally colorful, at least their personalities are.Also I don't know how else to distribute them evenly.
>>287623954FYI, "colorful" isn't when you have non-dark hair.
>>287621561
Is this 1 or 3?
>>287620844All lame. I prefer the cool ones.
>>287624152I mean, they still fit the definitions.
>>287620904>>287620940Type #5: absolutely vile degenerate porn cartoons
>>287623647so you want... the majority of anime romances? are you new?
>>287623252The chart's problem is that it assumes to have a lively personality to have a collection design. This obviously isn't true because there's plain looking characters with lively personalities like Kagome or Kazuma from KonoSuba.I can't think of a band colorful character but I'm sure there's some phoned in isekai with one from the year or so.
>>287624316cute girl X repressed homosexual? interesting pairing
>>287624647>homos out of nowhereWanna tell us something about yourself?
>>287624313More like 4. Araragi is anything but plain. It's not about the looks, but the personality.
>>287620844Gal Kind To Otaku recently caused controversy because it's another plain guy MC anime. Even some individuals in the industry spoke up and explained why they keep using this that is more than just self insertion
>>287620844Unrelated, but where did that trend of super flashy hair color came from?
>>287625025White people
>>287620844I need more of 1.
>>287625025Stuff like blonde hair was seen as part of delinquent culture. But nowadays flashy hair style trend is mainly driven by anime and pop culture.
>>287624316That's clearly 4
>>287624920>caused controversy because it's another plain guy MC animeAh yes controversy nobody gives a fuck about
>>287624920A bunch of yuritards seething isn't controversy
>>287624313Rrragi is a wacky lolicon teenage vampire when he meets Senjougahara. You could only argue he acts plain before he meets Shinobu, and that was because he was isolated and depressed.
>>287624644>This obviously isn't true because there's plain looking characters with lively personalities like Kagome or Kazuma from KonoSuba.Correct, and I was meaning to bring up High School DxD as a role-reversed example to what InuYasha has going on, in terms of there being a big-personality ordinary main with a legendary big-haired big-equipped main love and sex interest.
>>287623022They're not colorful visually, but their personalities are. Anime when.But yeah, we need more male chad x female chad (stacy?) series. Preferably also with a lot of passionate sex.
>>287624615Name 5
>>287621561>Consider the following.Hard pass, I'm not a future suicide victim
>>287620844What are examples of 4?
>>287625065Hyouka was already posted so have this one
>>287620844What the actual fuck does >more literarymean?
>>287620904>245 chapters not reading unless they are fucking by this point. are they?
>>287626725I'd say this is closer to 4.Both Osanai and Kobato are turboautists of different flavours.
>>287621561>Male x TrapToo fvcking kino .
>>287624553Kek
Surely photoshop with its AI function can swap the heads of the males with that of the females so that we can have crossdressing.
>>287626743It's a bullshit picture, but I guess it means "more introspective" or "more navelgaze-y"
