Line 8:
Extremely common with [[Bishoujo Series]] and [[The Unwanted Harem|Unwanted Harems]]. Even more common in computer games (namely, [[RPG|RPGs]]), with many such games introducing a new party member in each [[Game Level|area]], some even going so far as to have [[Interface Spoiler|an obvious number of "slots" that are going to be filled up by the end of the game]].
The next step to a [[Debut Queue]] system is the [[Character
{{examples}}
Line 22:
* ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]'' spends an entire season as a [[Debut Queue]] in flashbacks after an [[In Medias Res]] [[Pilot]].
* ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi (Manga)|Ai Yori Aoshi]]'' spends the first several episodes simply developing the backstory and relationship between Aoi and Kaoru, then slowly begins adding the other characters over the course of the first season.
* We're introduced to almost all the recurring characters in ''[[Love Hina]]'' in the first few minutes of the first episode, but Shinobu and Motoko [[Early
* ''[[Yes Pretty Cure 5]]'' introduces one new Cure an episode until the full quota of five is met... except it twists it slightly with the last Cure, whose [[Loners Are Freaks|personality flaws]] cause [[Missed the Call|the Call to reject her]], forcing her to use up another episode to learn [[An Aesop]] and join for real.
** ''[[Smile Pretty Cure]]'' does something similar, but without the [[Missed the Call]] part.
Line 41:
* ''[[Zoids]] Genesis'' tries to play with this a bit, by making characters take one episode or so to actually join the team, but otherwise is the usual: The series starts with [[Kid Hero|Ruuji]], the first episode has [[The Lancer|Re]] [[Token Mini-Moe|Mii]] and [[Old Master|Ra Kan]] (Not [[Negima|that one]]) appear as somewhat ambiguous figures (Even if [[Spoiler Opening|the OP ruins this]]) but are revealed as good guys next episode. [[The Chick|Kotona]] [[Shotacon|Elegance]] appears in ep 4 and joins in ep 5, [[The Big Guy|Garaga]] appears in ep 5 and joins by 6, [[The Smart Guy|Ron]] appears AND joins in 6, even if he doesn't gets his Zoid until ep 9, and then there's a small gap until [[Sixth Ranger|Seijuurou]] joins in ep 10.
* ''[[Dragonball]]'', to varying definitions of "main character" as many of them become [[Ascended Extra|Ascended Extras]] and/or [[Demoted to Extra]]. The first episode of the anime introduces Goku, Bulma and the arc's villains. Over the next fourteen episodes Oolong, the Turtle, Master Roshi, Yamcha & Puar, Chi-Chi & the Ox-King, Krillin and Launch are gradually introduced.
** Keep in mind though, in the manga Pilaf and co. didn't appear [[Early
* ''[[Rave Master]]'' begings with Haru aquiring Plue. In the next volume (since the first volume all happens around his house) he runs into Elie, and has come across Musica by the end-though it takes another volume for Musica to join.
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' started this once it was a couple arcs in, acquiring [[Tagalong Kid|Shippo]], [[Warrior Monk|Miroku]] and [[Lady of War|Sango]] in that order, and introduced [[Big Bad|Naraku]] immediately after Miroku.
Line 77:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[
* ''[[Lost]]'' did a variation: the episode "Confirmed Dead" introduced a character of the "rescue team" (although one appeared in [[Cliff Hanger|the previous episode finale]]) in each act.
* The first sixteen episodes of ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O]]'' follow a pretty obvious trend: a two-parter introducing an Imagin, followed by a two-parter to establish his personality and skills, followed by a two-parter introducing a new Imagin...
