Big Fancy House/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Line 81:

* Nozomi Uedo in ''[[Pretty Face]]'' - her family's got a trained team of riot police and a ''fucking Tyrannosaur skeleton''.

* Atobe's ridiculously large estate in ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. Aside of this, both [[Troubled but Cute|Echizen]] and [[The Stoic|Tezuka]] live in traditional-style Japanese complexes.

* The Tendo home in ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~]]'' is a positively ''huge'' traditional-style Japanese complex featuring a two-story house and a detached training hall surrounded by a large yard and bordered by a stone wall. The Kuno estate is ''even bigger'', being almost a medieval Japanese castle. Both of them supposedly exist in the center of the resolutely middle-class Nerima district of Tokyo...

* The Tendo home in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' is a positively ''huge'' traditional-style Japanese complex featuring a two-story house and a detached training hall surrounded by a large yard and bordered by a stone wall. The Kuno estate is ''even bigger'', being almost a medieval Japanese castle. Both of them supposedly exist in the center of the resolutely middle-class Nerima district of Tokyo...

** Of course, popular [[Fanon]] has it that the Tendo and Kuno family homes are simply old family-owned homes that just haven't really changed with the times (it certainly seems likely for the Kuno's).

* In the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' manga, Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury) brings her friends home to a place they immediately call an example of a millionaire's home, with a marble foyer she tells them not to worry about when it accidentally gets cracked. While the anime and live-action series don't play this up as much, her mother remains a doctor in all versions, the ostensible source of the wealth.

Line 108:

* Japan from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' lives in a rather large and traditional Japanese complex home.

** Spain and young!Romano (and maybe Belgium and Netherlands too) live in a castle. [[Justified Trope]], this is Imperial!Spain we're talking about.

** Subverted in the case of Chibitalia, Hungary, Austria and HRE. Austria's mansion ''is'' pretty big but the end of the Chibitalia strips suggests (if not outright states) that their ''spending wealth'' is very limited, which is remarked when {{spoiler|HRE leaves the mansion with other Germanic states.}} OTOH, the fancy palace where Austria and Hungary interact with [[Maria Theresa]] plays this straight, which is again a [[Justified Trope]] considering that Vienna is very famous for [[wikipedia:Belvedere ~~chr~~(~~28)palacechr(29~~)|Belvedere]] or [[wikipedia:Sch%C3%B6nbrunn Palace|Schonbrunn]].

** In the manga, the Nordics gathered for lunch and Iceland's "announcement" in a house that looked pretty average-sized. In the anime, said house is ''much'' bigger.

** Switzerland and Liechtenstein seem to live in a rather cozy home, too.
