** Sugoi Sugoi: Either the show itself, or just Maria due to her [[Catch Phrase]].

*** Hell, they're just as ridiculous on paper in most cases!

** Cockroach - Furukawa Nagisa, for her [[Hair Antennae]]. Often used in a derogatory way by [[Die for Our Ship|Kyou/Kotomi/Tomoyo fans.]]

** /a/ has been referring to Tomoya Okazaki as the Clannadman.

** Masaharu is the [[Fanon]] name for Matt/Yamato's father. (Turns out he's got an official name, Hiroaki, even though it wasn't used in anything.)

** Bio Trio - Kouki, Ivan, and Nanami, Kurata's [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], and fairly popular villains, despite appearing in about three episodes each.

*** On a similar note, because ''[[Digimon Xros Wars the Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' is an [[Overly Long Title]], the season is mostly known as either "Hunters" or "Xros Hunters".

** Footballhead - A derisive nickname for Renamon, whose head (according to said detractors) is shaped like an American football.

** ''.hack//INCEST'' - The ''.hack//Legend of the Twilight'' anime, which played up the [[Twincest]] jokes of the manga.

** Team Purple - Yuri pairing of Rider and Sakura, as they've both got purple hair.

** Sader - A horrifyingly [[Off-Model]] knock-off of a Saber figurine.

** "Mana Sharing" - Sex, per the [[Nasuverse]] [[Deus Sex Machina]] tendencies.

** GARcher - Archer, for which the term [[Memetic Mutation|GAR]] was originally coined for.

** [[Mondegreen|Angry Man Jew]] - For Avenger/Angra Mainyu, who was sacrificed against his will to become the embodiment of all the evils in the world, and thus save his village in the process. Basically he's Jesus, and he's not happy about it.

** Ganondorf - Zero!Rider; for being a large swarthy redhead.

** Broskander the Great - Also Zero!Rider, for being Waver's awesome mentor

** Sunagumo ("Sand Spider") - The [[No Name Given|Nameless Shura]] who defeats Falco. "Sunagumo" was actually used in the TV series as a derisive nickname Falco gave him during battle, but the character himself is literally nameless and most fans simply refer to him by the nickname Falco gave him.

** '''YOU wa SHOCK''' - The opening song, Ai o Torimodose. Contains ''much'' [[Gratuitous English]].

** Colonel Clean - Armstrong, as he is both bald and has sparkles that surround him for some gags.

*** Also known as Sparkly Man or Sparkle Man, again due to the sparkles.

*** Also spelled Hohopapa, and also called simply "Hoho".

*** Note than in Hiromu Arakawa's official [[Yonkoma]] for the anime, {{spoiler|Sloth}} calls him "Hoen" (with a long "o"). Possibly, part of the reason why he isn't nicknamed "Hoho" in Japanese is because it actually means something ("cheek" among others) in Japanese.

** Mr. Monopoly - Since Brotherhood this is officially the nickname of the Silver Alchemist. The resemblance is uncanny.

** Palm Tree - Envy, for his wildly spiky ''green'' hair

** The Eclipse - ''[[Berserk]]'' reference used by some fans in reference to {{spoiler|the events since the heroes have been transported to Father's lair, due to the similar idea of being taken to another dimension and marked as a sacrifice. Interestingly enough, there actually is an eclipse in chapter 104, and it is horrifying}}.

** "Cyclops Army" for the [[I'm a Humanitarian|ravenous]], one-eyed Mannequin Soldiers/Doll Soldiers (depending on the translation)

*** And by "half his head", we mean "half of his entire body".

* ''[[Gankutsuou]]''

** Al or Aru: Albert

** Batshit Ryoma - [[The Hero|Ryoma Nagare]], specifically in the OVAs, who takes [[Hot-Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] to the point of certifiable insanity. The ''Armageddon'' version is the definitive version, and typically the version people mean by "Batshit Ryouma".

** Kenny - [[They Killed Kenny|Mushashi]]

** Oogushi-kun: Hijikata. Actually derived from canon, as Gintoki mistook Hijikata for a boy in a Japanese folktale in an early appearance. The fans later co-opted this long after the gag had passed.

** 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.

* ''[[Hellsing]]''

** Girlycard/Femcard/Lolicard - Alucard in the ''[[Hellsing]]: The Dawn'' prequel, where, instead of the present-day [[Badass Longcoat]] form everyone knows, he looks like an adolescent girl in a pillbox hat.

** The Orgybus - the bus that Shido and his cult of students use as a shelter.

** Sensei Rapeface - Shido, for obvious reasons.

** K1 or K - Keiichi Maebara. A legitimate translation of his name ("Kei" being the pronounciation for K, and "ichi" translating to "one".) The latter is used in-series as an alternate persona.

** Cleaver Girl - Rena Ryuugu, for her iconic [[Weapon of Choice]].

** 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".

** But only in the anime.

* ''[[Kanon]]''

** Lies. He did that in the original [[Visual Novel]] as well, which was made in the late 90's.

* ''Boring Germans in Space'' - ''[[Legend of Galactic Heroes]]'', due to one of the sides having noticeable Germanic influence and the fact that some anime fans find it painfully slow-paced.

* ''[[Kimi no Iru Machi]]''

** "A Town Where You '''RAGE'''" - In reference to the fan reactions toward the manga's output since the start of the likely-will-be infamous Tokyo Arc.

** "Korean Zombie Desk Car"

* ''[[Kyouran Kazoku Nikki]]''

** Señor Noodlearms - Meta Knight, because of the [[Badass Spaniard|Spanish accent]] the dub gave him and his oddly thin arms.

** 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.

** Miwiki - Miyuki, a cheerful, knowledgeable [[Meganekko]] with a tendency to launch into encyclopedic monologues in response to her friends' queries. Now canon, as of the OAV.

** Spaghetti - Jail Scaglietti from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS''.

*** Similarly, her [[Catch Phrase]] "Full power!" can be also interpreted to mean "Total destruction!"

*** Some fans have been known to refer to her as "Sailor Beamspam".

*** Ditto Hückebikes, the [[Cool Bike|Cool Bikes]] that the members of the Hückebein family ride in ''Force''.

** "Befriending" - Yes, the trope of [[Defeat Means Friendship]] has been given a nickname, due to it being the primary way Nanoha makes her friends. Used in a sentence; "She befriended the crap out of them."

** [[Deus Ex Machina|Deus Ex]] [[Mask Power|Maskina]] - The Wolkenritters' [[Mysterious Protector]]{{spoiler|s}} in A's. ({{spoiler|the Lieze twins}})

** Emoha - The movie manga version (which is a different continity from the movie itself) of Nanoha has this nickname. Due to her emo scream in the first chapter. The fifth chapter gives her a good reason to be emo.

** With regards to the White Devil Incident, there is also "Signum Punch", or Signum's response to Teana still not getting it. (Compare [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/falcon-punch Falcon Punch]; coincidentally, Signum's ultimate attack from A's is Storm Falcon.)

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''

** "Cosmo Entelecheia" is often referred to as "Cosmo Enchilada" due to [[Rule of Funny]] and the fact that it's easier to spell that way.

** The Catellite Cannon - Chachamaru's {{spoiler|Pactio Artifact}}

** HiMELander - The [[There Can Be Only One]] arc that runs from episode 16 to the end.

** Batman - Sara Gallagher the Otome Pillar, from the tendency of the Pillars' outfits to look like those of American [[Superhero|Superheroes]].

** The manga adapation of the series has Mashiro being replaced and [[Wholesome Crossdresser|impersonated by her twin brother]], who fandom quickly dubbed ''Man''shiro.

** Mikan Lesbian - The series itself, due to the significant amount of [[Les Yay]].

** :3-tan - Mikan

** Yui-sama - {{spoiler|Eva-01}}.

* ''Nyarko-San''

* ''[[Onani Master Kurosawa]]''

** The D Brothers - Ace and Luffy.

*** And since they are both [[Determinator|Determinators]], that would technically make them the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Tenacious D's]].

*** Mansopp - Post time-skip Usopp after losing all the weight and gaining muscle.

*** I believe you mean MANSOPP!

*** {{spoiler|Halfbeard}} - Whitebeard after {{spoiler|Akainu burns half of his face off}}.

** Trap-chan - Izou, the [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|commander in geisha attire]] from Whitebeard's crew.

*** That's a man?! D:

** The Monster Trio, the nickname given for Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, the three strongest members of the crew.

** Fluffy - An abbreviation of Fake Luffy, an impostor who posed as Luffy.

*** We also have Fakehats, Flawhats, or Asshats for the impostors as a whole.

* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''

** False Haruhi - Used by those who maybe like the whole [[Reality Warper|"Haruhi Suzumiya is God"]] idea a bit too much.

* ''Otogizoushi''

** ''Hunt for the Golden Kidneys'', named so for the familiarly-shaped magical magatamas pursued by the protagonists.

** GodChu - An appropriate name for Ash's [[Game Breaker|Ground-type beating Thunder Armor-using]] Pikachu.

** A nickname for Ash possessed by the King of Pokelantis is "Dark Ash" or "Yami Satoshi", and treat him as a separate character from the two.

** The Pantsless Wonder - Mytho, for his male ballet apparel, which makes it look like he's going commando. Also, he's regularly shown wearing only a long white shirt and apparently nothing under it.

** Guitar Ninjas - The second season, coined by an [[Image Macro]] review comparing it to such.

** Homerun-chan - Homura. It was coined in /a/, but quickly gained popularity in Japan as well.

*** Alternatively, "Homuhomu." This name may have reached [[Ascended Meme]] status - one of the items in the [[Special Edition]] of ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable'' is literally called the "HomuHomu Handkerchief". Interestingly, the source of the nickname appears to come from the [[Cypher Language]] in Episode 3.

** Unlimited Bazooka Works - Homura's [[More Dakka]] version.

** Pringles Monsters - the Anthonies.

*** With the English dub out, this becomes [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], as Mugi and Hitomi are both voiced by Shelby Lindley.

** QB, [[Off-Model|Coobie]] - Kyubey.

** [[Norse Mythology|Valhalla]], Magical Girl Valhalla: speculated {{spoiler|afterlife that Godoka takes magical girls to after they die.}}

** [[Moe|Moemura]]/Megahomu - {{spoiler|the [[Meganekko]]}} Homura {{spoiler|during the earlier loops in episode 10.}}

** Homukastel - Speculated witch that Homura would have became if she had gone through infinite loops without saving Madoka. Named after Bernkastel from ''[[When They Cry]]''.

** Legion Of [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doom]] for Kyubey and Juubey; especially now that {{spoiler|Juubey is revealed to be evil too.}}

** [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Rebuild of Madoka]] - Fan Name for the announced movie trilogy.

** "Vagina Blaster" - Melpha's Holy Poses, due to the fact she need to be in a... ''very'' sexy pose to use that attack.

** For rather - ahem - [[Gag Boobs|obvious reasons]], and as a play on her name, Cattleya is sometimes referred to on certain [[Image Boards]] as "Cow-Tits".

** The Kougaiji-ikkou and the Konzen-ikkou - Names for two of the three primary foursomes, by reference to the canonical Sanzo-ikkou ("Sanzo's travel partners").

** Pippi - So named because of the way her braids stick out. The bossy youkai girl Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai live with (and are kinda employed by) after her village's [[Bedouin Rescue Service]] saves them. She and Goku seemed to have a ''thing'' ({{spoiler|and kissed}}), so [[Yaoi Fangirl|certain]] [[Fan Dumb|fans]] desperately hope the fact that she has [[No Name Given]] means she isn't important. Barring that, there are [[Epileptic Trees|epileptic saplings]] that Goku only liked her because her attitude reminded him of Sanzo, or the way a few wisps of her hair fall in her face subconsciously reminded him of his platonic [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]], Nataku, because [[Het Is Ew]].

** Kyaputen - Mihoko. Though, to be fair, all of Kazekoshi's mahjong team call her that.

** Nodotits - Nodoka, because... [[Gag Boobs|yeah.]]

** Parigumi - The members of the Paris-based branch of the ''Teikokukagekidan Hanagumi'' found in the third and fourth [[OVA]] series. This is more likely a back-formation based on "Hanagumi" than a direct application of this trope.

* ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''

* ''[[S-Cry-ed]]''

** Pansy Man - Used to refer to Tachibana, whose Alter, while potentially very versatile and awesome, is terribly downgraded because he only ever fights with it with or next to the two major badasses of the show.

** Shattered Sword of Balls - Tachibana's, mentioned above, Alter, called "Eternity Eight." One of the things he likes to do with it in combat is form the eight little balls into a sword-like weapon. Unfortunately, when fighting the protagonist, this sword gets punched through and shattered very often. This leads to the, at least in the subbed version, line, "You broke my balls!!!" It gets even worse when this leads him to go on a pity trip about how his girlfriend won't like him anymore.

** Abuse-tan = Abiru Kobushi. The name is a play on her name as well as the fact that she is allegedly a victim of domestic abuse as she is always covered in bandages.

** Anony-tan = Meru Otonashi. She is called that because she likes to text abusive messages much like Anonymous (4chan) is known to do.

** When you consider that the actual names of the characters (with the exception of Kafuka's name) are all thematic (in Japanese, that is) to the characters' personalities, such fan nicknaming could even be considered redundant.

** "Falcon kick" - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d9AizrNLaw Maria's signature move]

** Nice Boat - Name for series itself. Just before the planned airing, a RL murder occurred in Japan and it was decided that the murder in the last episode hit a bit too close to home thus it was replaced by a place-holder program titled "Nice Boat". Perhaps by coincidence, the final scene shows Kotonoha on her private boat, {{spoiler|cradling Makoto's severed head}}.

* ''[[Sekirei]]'' is "Pokemon with tits"

** Matsu - Alakazam

** Homura - Charmander

* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]''

** Hecate, a female Tomogara, is often called "Orgasm Girl" on Youtube, thanks to a scene of her and [[MacGuffin Girl|Yuuji]]... synchronizing. It sure looked (and sounded) like [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|something entirely different...]].

** Darth {{spoiler|Yuji}} for {{spoiler|Yuji}} as [[Big Bad|Snake of the Festival]].

* ''[[Shiki]]''

** [[Monk]] - Seishin.

* ''[[Simoun]]''

** Frankenplushie - Rodoreamon's plushie.

** The Real Doll/Blow Up Doll - Neviril, for having an uninspired character design (especially her mouth). Coined by Erica Friedman of Yuricon in her [http://okazu.blogspot.com/2006/04/yuri-anime-simoun.html review of the series].

** Grace - The blonde trumpet-playing soldier seen in flashbacks, nicknamed after [[Amazing Freaking Grace|the tune she plays]]. (Real name: {{spoiler|Princess Iria}}.)

* ''[[Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo]]''

** Getter Ripoff - The eponymous [[Humongous Mecha]], due to having the exact same transformation/combination scheme as [[Getter Robo]].

* ''[[Spice and Wolf]]''

** 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 [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]].

** StoPani: Short for the title, which is in [[Gratuitous English]]. The O comes from the Japanese pronunciation "sutoroberii panikku".

* ''[[Strike Witches]]'' - "[[Sky Girls]] no pantsu"

* ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]''

** "Hory Froating Head-sama", for series head honcho Shoji Kawamori no less. This one originated on the [[Macross World]] message boards, thanks to a gag picture sent from [[Anim Eigo]] celebrating the completion of the remastering of Macross -- it was of a couple of [[Anim Eigo]] staffers holding up one of the DVDs as an oversized head of Kawamori looked on, wreathed in a halo.

** LOL-fang-tan - Tsuruya-san, by combination of the nicknames "LOL-tan" and "Fang-tan", inspired by her two most prominent attributes.

** Moeblob - Mikuru.

*** By association, any annoying character transparently appealing to [[Moe]] fanboys, as Mikuru's outer self suggests.

** The Other Haruhi - Haruhi Suzumiya, to the fans who actually watched [[Ouran High School Host Club]] first.

** Kyon-Kun Denwa for the first lines of dialogue during Endless Eight.

** Harutards - Harsh name for a Haruhi fan from [[Fan Hater|Fan Haters]].

** The Trolling of Haruhi Suzumiya - Given to Endless Eight.

** Knife Bitch - Ryoko Asakura

* ''Tenchi Universe''

** Penis Ship - Name given to Mihoshi and Kiyone's ship in episode 20.

** Doombitch - The fan nickname for Yoko, since {{spoiler|everybody she kisses ends up dead.}}

*** In Latin America, she is nicknamed ''La Viuda Roja'' (Literally translated as {{spoiler|[[Black Widow|"The Red Widow")]]}}

** [[Beam Spam]] McMuppet - The fan nickname for Attenborough, the [[Gonk]] gunner of the various [[Cool Ship|Cool Ships]] of the series, who is a big fan of the tactic. "HASHAAAAA!"

** Lulussiu and Spinsimon - Two fan names for Rossiu and Simon after the [[Time Skip]] coined from [[Game FAQs]] after the in-turn fan nicknames for [[Code Geass|Lelouch and Suzaku]], since both pairs of characters share the same English voice actors and, after the [[Time Skip]], similar actions and relationships.

* ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''

** Lum's Stormtroopers - [[Those Two Guys|Those four guys]] ([[Meaningful Name|officially named Megane, Chibi, Perm, and Kakugari]]) that have a rather...''obsessive'' interest in Lum.

** Carrier - Karura, a reference to the ''[[Starcraft]]'' unit made in a fansub and popularized by [http://lurkmore.com/wiki/index.php?title=Carrier_has_arrived a shopped doujin page.] "Carrier has arrived."

** Underwater Ray Romano - The series itself; due to the title being unequivocally Japanese, this is [[Mondegreen|what the title sounds like to the untrained English-speaking ear]].

* ''[[Vandread]]''

** Vanis/Dreadgina - The Vanguard and the Dread, for the [[Freud Was Right|blatant sexual metaphor they represent]].

** MILFBlade - Masane Amaha, [[Hot Shounen Mom|single mother]] and heroine.

*** AKA Masa-[[Most Common Superpower|Mune]]; she's actually called "Masamune-san" ("Mellony" in the Dub) by sleepy Tozawa when they met in the 5th episode (and the nickname sticks). Which gives Rihoko opportunity to cheerfully explain ''why''...

** "Book Travels" ("hon no tabibito") and "Hat travels" to shorten out the title

** Chichi Kitsune or just Chichi for Tamamonomae: she's a buxom fox spirit who speaks with a Kansai dialect. ("Chichi" is Kansai way of saying "chest" or "breasts", and is even called upon by another Kansai-speaking character, Ken-chan, in the anime)

*** Although people who refer to her as such ''on'' 4chan are usually branded as noobs/idiots.

** Dotty - Yotsuba's occasional unnamed playmate with dot eyes

** Season 0 or The Shadow Games - Name often given to the Toei anime version, which is called simply ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''. (The anime most Americans know as ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' is called ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' in Japan.)

** Minigoth - Yuugi Motou

*** For those who like to give their favorite characters actual names, we have Florence and Melvin.

** Cabbage - Toei version of Seto Kaiba. Just look at his green hair and you'll know why.

** Ass-ter Phoenix: Nickname for Edo by people dissatisfied with his being renamed for the dub.

** Owlhead: Yuuki Juudai/Jaden, [[Anime Hair|for obvious reasons]].

** Fianceshipping - The pairing of Judai/Jaden and Asuka/Alexis, named after a Japanese episode in which if Judai won a duel against a tennis player, he'd become Asuka's fiance. He, of course, won but is too airheaded to know what a fiance means. There are also innumerable other names for pairings like this in the fandom.

** Principal Awesomebrows - The GX manga's Principal Mackenzie, due to his rather prominent eyebrows.

** The trend has resurfaced, along with the new nickname ATLAS PUNCH, thanks to his recent tendency to go around and punch someone's lights out [[Once Per Episode]].

** D-Carly - Name used referring to Carly Nagisa while she's {{spoiler|in her Dark Signer persona}}.

* ''[[Zoids]]''

** Many of the Zoids themselves are referred to with shortened or cutsie-fied versions of their official names - Gilvader = Gilvy, Gojulas Giga = Giggles, and so on. Gildragon - a white/blue/gold recolor of the black/pink/purple Gilvader - is referred to as Gildy, or as Mrs. Gilvader due to its "prettier" color scheme.

*** Whitz Tiger Imitate, a recolor of the Whitz Tiger molded in a cheddary orange, is nicknamed Cheese Whitz after the Kraft imitation food product.

*** On a related note, the sword-armed Savinga included with the Rez Tiger earned the nickname "Sporkvinga"

*** The Holotech series (a line of kits cast in translucent plastic) had its own nicknaming convention: the Holotech versions of Zaber Fang, Raynos and Spinosapper became Holokitty, Holobirdy and Holosapper respectively. The Holotech version of Warshark, whose Japanese name is Wardick, is called Holodick (a play on ''Star Trek's'' Holodeck) or Holothingy.

*** The Murasame Liger earned the nickname "Lump Liger" amongst the model-building sections of the community due to the fact that the model came mostly pre-built -- ie, a Lump. The Hayate Liger (based on the same frame) was nicknamed "Brick Liger" becuse of its bright red colour - and the fact that the toy ended up looking like a brick.

*** 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.

* [[Go Nagai]] has often been referred to in certain circles as "Uncle Go". The same goes for [[Ken Ishikawa]], but less often.

** The Keiichi in ''Ah! My Goddess'' did, at least once, wear a jacket with "K1" monogrammed on it.

* "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".
