Let's have some fun. Post a render that contains an anime/manga cliche.

Example: SHOUJO LEGS!

    Bare arms and legs are best in combat outfits!

    You mean those aren't stilts?

    **squee**....any way you want to show it, they all are cliché.

    Here's an extremely quick render with no postwork done using a custom character I made modeled after Nearme. Using Hitomi hair, that free Japanese school uniform and the mall tights, if anyone cares.

    Of course you can't pay tribute to Shoujo Legs without also throwing a bone to YAOI HANDS!

    The more inappropriate the school girl's uniform, the more likely she'll be able to completely kick your ass.

    I'm still cleaning the coffee off my screen with this one. What about breast size? Which is more dangerous pigtails or free flowing hair?

    The kicking of the ass is directly proportional to the loliness of the school girl.

    What about school uniform, on a robot girl no less, wielding a ridiculous sized weapon.

    Plus given her name that has to add to the cliche point tally.

    Ummm...very long tails, super skimpy uniform and a chest that would put Dolly Parton's plastic surgeon to shame...

    I offer this website purely for research purposes:

    The most extremal cliche are Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin in Kill la Kill:

    It is the answer to all people complaining about skimpy clothes :p

    One of my favorites.. When all our other weekly shows seem to be wallowing in filler episodes Kill la Kill wastes no time on good story and awesome fight scenes.

    One of the life lessons Anime teaches you is if you are somewhere very creepy and you suddenly encounter a little girl, put 4 bullets in her and 2 in her dolly then run like hell.

    Speaking of anime themed... :D

    First two are Diva and Saya from Blood+

    Next one should be self evident

    The last one is just your typical avenging angel type back from the dead. With a katana of course.

    1. Spiky hair! (among other cliches...)

    2. Thought this would fit here too. Set in an imaginary anime/3D convention, with lots of cosplay and a reference to an obscure(?) but classic piece of otaku culture.

    Just make sure you put them down, because if you only wing them it just pisses them off.

    My son added...

    Stakes, swords, axes...large, portable particle weapons, magic...

    As either the creepiness factor or cuteness factor increases, the firepower need is at least doubled (probably squared)...and if both increase in equal proportions...it becomes logarithmic, to the point were Certain Doom is almost assured.
