** Fatshu/Fatshoe - Haruyuki is exactly like a fat version of Shu from [[Guilty Crown]]
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
** Sugoi Sugoi: Either the show itself, or just Maria due to her [[Catch Phrase]].
* [[CLAMP]]
** [[Noodle People]] - The spindly and strangely-proportioned (even by ''anime standards'') character designs that appear in ''[[Code Geass]]'', ''[[Tsubasa]]'', and ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' which, while good on paper, can be prone to [[Off-Model|QUALITY]] shots when animated and are often possessed by people who should probably be more muscular given their physical ability.
*** Hell, they're just as ridiculous on paper in most cases!
* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
** Burger-Kun - Goran, an [[Ensemble Darkhorse|inexplicably popular]] one-shot Contractor in the second season whose Renumeration was eating hamburgers.
*** He is also known by the fan name 'Soviet Burger Flash'; as his power is super speed and he works for the Russian government.
** Pinker than Loli - The second season, due to its forcing the protagonist Hei to share the spotlight with a [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|little girl]] and [[Never Trust a Trailer|scans and trailers suggesting]] that the second season would be more of a [[Slice of Life]] comedy.
*** Said little girl, Suou, has been dubbed "[[Mary Sue|Mary Suou]]" by certain fans who [[Replacement Scrappy|would prefer to watch Hei kicking ass instead]].
** Japanese Lesbian Catwoman - [[Bifauxnen]] Contractor Mina Hazuki, both because similarities to Hei as a [[Stoic]] [[Badass|asskicker]], and because of, [[media:sexyaftertaste.jpg|well...]]

** {{spoiler|Mootkado}} - Mikado, for those who've read ahead of the anime and know that {{spoiler|Mikado <s>weaponized 4chan</s> created the Dollars}}. [[Moe]]kado and {{spoiler|Boss}}kado are also quite popular.

Line 124 ⟶ 125:

Line 185 ⟶ 188:
** Hayate the Combat [[Butt Monkey]]: pretty self-explanatiory considering how Hayate ends up getting treated most of the time.
** NOM-NOM-tan: Ayumu Nishizawa, for the fact that she's [[Once an Episode|always seen eating something]]... [[Erotic Eating|sometimes suggestively]]. Somehow, she's still one of the more [[The Generic Guy|"normal"]] members of the cast.
** [[xxxHolic×××HOLiC|Watanuki]] [[Code Geass|vi Britannia]]: The Puppet Butler voiced by Jun Fukuyama.
** Given her recent chapters having been possessed by a cat-spirit, Izumi has been dubbed 'Izu-nyan' for her apparent attraction to felines and moe appeal while interacting with them (and a pun on [[K-On!|Azusa's]] nickname).
* ''[[Hellsing]]''
Line 218 ⟶ 221:
** And KagoMama or HiguMama or Mama-san for Kagome's unfortuneately unnamed mother.
** Sota, Kagome's younger brother, is also sometimes jokingly referred to as "Soda".
 
== Series K-O ==
* ''[[Kanokon]]''
** [[Shotacon|Shouta]] - Kouta, for being a helpless little [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|shota]] who is constantly being jumped by the sexually-aggressive foxgirl, Chizuru.
Line 261 ⟶ 266:
** Bouncy Tiff - From an episode where a bunch of perverted otaku parodies [[Show Within a Show|made an anime]] with a rather... adult version of the character Tiff.
* ''[[Lucky Star]]''
** Miwiki - Miyuki, a cheerful, knowledgeable [[Meganekko]] with a tendency to launch into encyclopedic monologues in response to her friends' queries. [[Ascended Fanon|Now canon]], as of the OAV.
** Queen of the Weaboos - [[Otaku|Patricia]] [[Fan Girl|Martin]].
** Awesome-kun - Konata's dad.
Line 389 ⟶ 394:

** ''Hunt for the Golden Kidneys'', named so for the familiarly-shaped magical magatamas pursued by the protagonists.
 
== Series P-T ==
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]''
** GodChu - An appropriate name for Ash's [[Game Breaker|Ground-type beating Thunder Armor-using]] Pikachu.
Line 413 ⟶ 420:
** QB, [[Off-Model|Coobie]] - Kyubey.
** [[Hidamari Sketch|Chidamari Sketch]] - the entire series.<ref>Chidamari means "puddle of blood." This was originally from ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' when a character jokingly made up as one of the nicknames of the eponymous rental apartment building. This was promptly applied to this series, due to its content and the fact that character designs for this work was made by ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'''s mangaka [[Ume Aoki]].</ref>
** Condom-chan - Kyouko, the long red-haired girl in the intro because of the... thing she has in her mouth. (Which seems to actually be one of those [https://web.archive.org/web/20070304191427/http://www.pinukim.net/pics/image2_icepops.jpg ice tube popsicle things]).
*** An early [[Fan Nickname]] for Kyouko in Japan was "Anko", based off an early [[One Steve Limit]]-based (because Kyousuke has already been introduced) [[Alternate Character Reading|misreading of her name]].
** {{spoiler|Goddess Madoka/Godoka/Magodka/Madokami}} - Madoka after {{spoiler|her wish to erase [[The Corruption]] that creates Witches out of existence transforms her into a goddess at the end of the series}}.
Line 432 ⟶ 439:
*** The fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4631579/1/Spoiled_Brats Spoiled Brats]'' takes this to its logical conclusion by including a scene with a sign reading: "This residence has been proudly repaired by the Nerima Repair Crew. When they knock it down, we'll put it back up again."
** Passion Spice - Catch-all term for the various [[Love Potion|magical/chemical gimmicks used in the course of the series to attempt to woo Ranma (or somebody else)]]. Gets seriously abused in fandom. Comes from a [[Fanfic]] written in the 1990s (possibly by Caroline "Kunoichi" Seawright) but has since entered ''Ranma'' [[Fanon]] as a stock device.
** MADMs or Martial Arts Death Machines - Explicitly, the high-powered martial artists in the series, due to the insane amount of damage they can dish out, insane amount of damage they can ''absorb'' without injury, astonishing speed (past the speed of sound in some cases), and, naturally, staggering combat skills. Differs from Nerima Wrecking Crew in that the latter can potentially include any character involved in the mayhem; MADMs tend to include only the more "serious" combatants. Of course, precisely "''who"'' those characters are isn't agreed on, but a general consensus would be (of the main characters) the [[Old Master]]s and [[Miniature Senior Citizens]] Cologne and Happosai, Ranma Saotome, Ryôga Hibiki, and Mousse. They also might add either or both of Shampoo and [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Ukyô]] [[Cute Bruiser|Kuonji]] to the selection, as both girls have pulled off feats that are even more impressive than [[Tsundere|Akane]] [[Cute Bruiser|Tendô]], though less impressive than those of the guys. Of the various [[Villain of the Week|temporary challengers]], you have Herb, Mint and Lime of the Musk, as well as Ryû Kumon and, in the anime, Princes Kirin and Tôma.
** Ranko - Any version of Female!Ranma that is separate from Male!Ranma, usually an [[Opposite Gender Clone]]. Named after the alias Ranma used when he was hiding himself from his mother.
*** Some fanfic writers even use "Ranko" simply for girl-type Ranma, instead of the more often seen "Ranma-chan" or "Onna-Ranma".
Line 546 ⟶ 553:
** Moenomics - The series as a whole. I mean, look at it! It's got a [[Fetish Fuel|Fox-girl]] and there's a whole bunch of stuff about economics. Makes perfect sense, to this troper.
* [[Studio Shaft]]
** Shaft Tilt - Curious head tilt/neck twist/AsideGlance [https://web.archive.org/web/20141221044000/http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/headtilt.jpg combo] that would result in [[Real Life]] humans breaking their necks; common in [[Studio Shaft]] [[Anime]].
** Shaft, used as a verb: Various [[Off-Model]] and [[Placeholder Titles]] from this studio due to schedule issues, which are usually [[Better on DVD|corrected on DVD releases]].
* ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]!''
Line 561 ⟶ 568:
** O-Haruhi-[[Honorifics|sama]] - Suzumiya Haruhi, by analogy with Oyashiro-sama, the god worshipped in the village in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.
** The Other Haruhi - Haruhi Suzumiya, to the fans who actually watched [[Ouran High School Host Club]] first.
** Bagloli or Loli[[Girl in a Box|-in-a-Bag]]: Kyon's sister, from a [https://web.archive.org/web/20141103122047/http://lh5.ggpht.com/_D_LCDE4LIgw/RkQ_GSsfdaI/AAAAAAAAALg/jbfC9PgxjvY/s800/loli+ in+ a+ bag%2Bin%2Ba%2Bbag.jpg motivational poster], which comes fromefrom a scene in "Remote Island Syndrome".
** Kyon-Kun Denwa for the first lines of dialogue during Endless Eight.
** Harutards - Harsh name for a Haruhi fan from [[Fan Hater]]s.
Line 596 ⟶ 603:
** King of Moe - Keith Goodman/Sky High, the King of Heroes who just happens to act like a sheltered, virginal [[Ingenue]] half the time.
** In the audio dramas and other side materials, Barnaby occasionally detaches himself from his default [[Ice King]] persona to mess with his fellow heroes (usually Karina) -- just for the hell of it. This version of Barnaby is called [[Troll]]aby by the fans.
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]''
** BiriBiri - The secondary heroine of the show, nicknamed as hero calls her, by her using of electricity, which supposedly has "biribiri" SFX in Japanese.
*** As of the second season this nickname has become Canon.
*** Alternately known as the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Thundere]].
** "Raildex" is [[The Verse]] for "To[[A AruCertain KagakuScientific NoRailgun|A Certain Scientific '''Rail'''gun]]''" and "''To AruA MajutsuCertain NoMagical In'''dex'''''"
** Dr. Gekota - The doctor who looks like a frog, who is always healing Touma after his latest escapade. Otherwise known as {{spoiler|Heaven Canceller.}}
** "Failgun" for the ''Railgun'' anime adaptation, by those that considered it [[Adaptation Decay]].
Line 616 ⟶ 623:
** Cakey - Keiki. There's actually another character in the novels named Kaka, which means cake or cookie in several Scandinavian languages.
** The Gunslinger from Kei - Asano. He sure loves his revolver.
 
== Series U-Z ==
* ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]''
** The Nish - Yamato (Co-)creator Yoshinobu Nishizaki
Line 698 ⟶ 707:
*** The Berserk Fury's trademark spinning claw weapons are often called "eggbeaters". Its name is also often shortened to "BF".
*** In-series, the Zaber Fangs, formerly known as the Tigers Team, are referred to as the "Fuzzy Pandas", as Bit doesn't think they're worth the threatening name. This is directly responsible for their last loss in the series.
 
== People and Companies ==
* [[Go Nagai]] has often been referred to in certain circles as "Uncle Go". The same goes for [[Ken Ishikawa]], but less often.
* Anyone named Keiichi, such as the protagonists from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' and ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', will often be referred in the show and by some fans as K1, which would still be pronounced as Keiichi in Japanese.
Line 703 ⟶ 714:
* "Sentai Filmworks/Section 23 Films" was the result of ADV Films divesting its assets. Because of this, the new entity is often called "Neo-ADV", or sometimes "Zombie-ADV".
