The most outstanding characters personality and attitude

by Guest Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:06 am

you see that there's a lot characters in anime and manga.. and wanted to know something.. there's some anima and manga that really doesn't have a very interesting plot but most of them are popular because of the characters?... I really want to know what kind of personality or attitude or whatever can make a manga/anime popular...

I would have to say that the most popular now-a-days would be Tsundere and Moe.

Yandere is also getting more popular, though.
Well anyways, there are a lot. o uo

by Guest Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:27 am

eveybody says tsundere.. but what does that mean.. is when they have double personality or ir because they are crazy and violent?!

by Guest Wed Aug 04, 2010 10:54 am

Ahaha, it's not exactly a split personality, more like split moods. That character's usually angry and irritable (the tsun of tsundere), but because of something (like talking to their crush), that character becomes all shy and sweet (the dere of tsundere). It could be the reverse way too. You could read more about it and examples at Tvtrope's page, because Tvtropes is awesomeee.

and what are kind of character's personality that most people hate?
A selfish one, a weak one, a persistent one?

by Guest Fri Aug 13, 2010 10:24 pm

I normally seen that a lot of people hates selfish characters...

by NaNo ✩ Sat Aug 14, 2010 10:56 am

I actually like the selfish ones. Selfish ones might be.. well, selfish. But I think it's nice they at least know what they REALLY want. Sure, it's not good to selfish, but still.. But I am not into the "moe" characters. Cute, Clumsy, kind of air-headed. I don't like it much because it's so over done now-a-days. :/

But I have to agree with the fact that "Tsundere" and "Moe" is popular.

I find the ones that are most hated are the really annoying ones, the ones that you want to send in first in case of the zombie apocalypse Te-he!

A lot of people like deredere o_o

But Yandere's I find most interesting (Though would not suggest them with a relationship)

by Guest Sun Aug 15, 2010 10:01 pm

What is deredere? the opposite of tsundere??

by Kasikki Sun Aug 15, 2010 10:40 pm

deredere is basically completely nice sweet and shyish.

-sits next to Russia-
= w =

by Guest Mon Aug 16, 2010 8:36 am

and now what's yandere?!? AHHHHHH!! Confused

by Guest Mon Aug 16, 2010 8:38 am

How many are there? can you tell everything of -dere things?!

by Kasikki Mon Aug 16, 2010 8:44 am

Yandere is a person who is overly obsessed with someone to the point were they would do ANYTHING it get them (If it means killing people or even killing him)

They usually seem normal at first.

by Guest Wed Aug 18, 2010 4:26 pm

Do people like weird characters...
I mean.. example.. a boy that is quiet and serious.. but likes to dance and is a pervert...

(sorry, sounds stupid.. but can't get another idea; Wink

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:59 am

or unique characters..? that is same as weird.. right?;; -ㅁ-.; because I feel that some people won't like those characters

by ~AutumnZephyr~ Fri Aug 20, 2010 1:43 am

Mmm... I kinda agree... People like characters that stand out, whether it is because they are overly one thing or another, as in one extreme or another... It is also how they are depicted, for example most people don't like a "normal" character, with no real character flaws and no pros either, but if he is described by himself or others as "a person who's only remarkable quality is being quite unremarkable" then people begin to be interested... Overall it's trying to get to the viewers something they don't see in their everyday lives...

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 8:57 am

do most people like negative attitudes?..
and it doesn't sound weird if a girl, herself, hates girls?.. right?
because to me it sounds normal.. but I wonder if other people thinks this way...

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 10:01 am

Negative attitudes can differ... if a boy's negative about everyone around him but just so happens to be bad arse in terms of fighting and such, it's no wonder a lot of people in the fan base like him. However, if it's just a whiny kid who's scared of everything, god, I would see why no one like 'em.

Spoiler:

I'm being quite vague here, but honestly, I don't really want to give something more specific, and being vague gives a general idea, no?

by ~AutumnZephyr~ Fri Aug 20, 2010 11:10 am

Thats another quality people look for in characters... How detailed does the story teller go into the character? If you know every single detail about the character, they become bland and shallow, one has to wonder how detailed they can get...

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 11:58 am

Mhmm, personally I like characters with more of the depth and characterization, that, of course, aren't too cliched and overboard. That way, if they're characters I especially like (I could be considered a fangirl to certain characters from different series), I'll know them a lot better. It's like trying to know your crush a lot more by taking them to dates and having conversations with them to see what they like to eat, their hobbies, etc., because you like them.

So... in a way, characters should be obviously interesting, but at the same time, not too... dramatized, should I say? That's why I'm not too big a fan of the drama/angst genre 'cause there's always characters like those. Focused too much on their past, less on their actual personalities. And the fact that they're all depressing. Wink

Ooo, also, there's character development that people look for. A character who was once a scared, low self-esteemed kid who, through out the series, becomes a strong, leader-type person is very charming for many people.

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:35 pm

Then... normally they like characters that are different.. abnormal? right..?
because I personally like characters that are abnormal.. how could I say it... very different, interesting and fun... but this is what I like.. so I wanted to know more about what other people likes.. because normally negative attitudes.. just like selfish, mean, antisocial, etc.. they don't seem to like it.. or do they...? because of course, as mentioned.. it would be hateful someone abnormal like an psychopath character would be in real life.. it would dreadfully scary...and annoying.. and I've seen how people says they hate characters that are first weak..and always loses.. but when they are in danger.. that weak character always saves them and bla, bla.. they think that it's an annoying cliche for a character...
do they like character that first is dull, boring, or hateful, selfish develops throughout the story advances..?

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:00 pm

Honestly, I can't generalize what kinds of characters I like, because... it's wrong. It's like saying that you like pasta, but you can't obviously like all types of pasta, right? I like Vermicelli a lot, but not so much a big fan of egg pasta, but they're in the same kind of category, see? I like a diverse amount of characters, from shy to just plain psychopathic. But of course, I'll generalize this: they can have whatever personality, but if they're badass, then they're cool, ahahahaha.

In a way, yeah. I mean, if that character is still that weak, shriveled-up kid after a bijillion chapters or episodes without any character development, then it'll be tedious to some people, even to the extent calling it a cliche. It's shunned upon by a lot of people because the character's too linear--kind of like having only one emotion or personality trait. That's boring, repetitive, and most of all, unrealistic.

If, however, the main character were to gain confidence and strength over time, most of the time, a lot more people would generally like them. That character may not be a person's favourite character out of the whole cast, but at least that character development will give a person some kind of mutual liking towards the character, because it's realistic and something people could relate to, right?

by Guest Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:23 pm

yeah.. it's true.. arter all there's a lot different characters in the whole manga/ anime and of course there'll be a character that most people likes.. but also there'll a lot people that hates that character...
