Line 29:
* In the manga of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' the main characters get overtaken more and more by their mental instabilities, turning them into psychiatric caricatures. This is especially poignant in the case of Satou and Misaki, who change from very disturbed but interesting and amusing personalities into lumbering, suicidal and psychotic wrecks. The anime (in case you're wondering, they're both based of a novel) has a more balanced characterization, making for a more relatable story.
* Part of the failure of the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' [[Video Game Movies Suck|anime]] may be due to applying this to Dante's personality. In the games, Dante is playfully smug and very showy, but rarely does he cause collateral damage. In the anime, he seems to have a pathological "Need For Cool" that has to be satisfied regardless of what it costs him. For example, in the second episode, while chasing a demon, he [[Destructive Saviour|demolishes a bridge]] along the way [[Death of a Thousand Cuts|with his guns]]. The resulting repair costs cut severely from the fees he receives.
* Try to find a ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' fanfiction where Heero isn't [[Emo]], Duo isn't [[Keet|hyperactive and stupid]], Trowa isn't [[The Spock|nigh-on mute]], Quatre isn't constantly on the verge of tears, Wu Fei isn't a [[He
* Creed from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' is made to be even more obsessed and depraved in the anime than in the manga (which is saying a LOT). This makes for an extremely awkward [[Heel Face Turn]], which makes very little sense, especially since his slightly less perverted manga version didn't even do a [[Heel Face Turn]].
* Is there a Hyoutei-centered [[The Prince of Tennis|Prince of Tennis]] fic that does ''not'' have [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|Ryoh]] [[The Determinator|Shishido]] being turned into a whiny, self-centered, [[wangst]]y [[Jerkass Stu]] who only lives to be an asshole to everyone and treat his partner Ohtori (often changed to a [[Love Martyr]]) like a slave, only offering a feeble and non-canon [[Freudian Excuse]] (like prostitution or [[Abusive Parents]]) as an excuse for his bitchiness and cruelty?
