[QUOTE="takyris, post: 1559726, member: 5171"] Really? I stand corrected. As does Dark Jezter, who thought I was onto something. I was deliberately going over-the-top and adding a fair amount of specific stuff that was not actually likely to appear in every anime episode ever. But the thing about stereotypes is that they tend to be a set of elements, and it's not so much an "all of these apply" as "if X or more of these apply". While I certainly didn't anticipate that all major titles would match what I said, I figured that there'd be a fair amount of pingage. If you honestly believe that no elements of: "...partially cyberneticized people in cloaks leaping through the air with katanas and then brooding while flighty ditzy women repeatedly fall in love with them despite the guys' utter emotional uninvolvement and inability to return any sort of affection, usually with really cool mecha-effects at some point..." ...appear in popular anime, then you probably know better than I do. The little I've seen must have been skewed to the interests of the people who brought it over. [/QUOTE]
