Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* Belldandy in the original manga ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' starts as a character who is divine (of course), good-hearted, and a genuinely nice person but who is not above the occasional eye-roll or violent expression of rage (mostly towards Urd). As time went on she became more and more passive and sweet to almost saccharine levels. This is also illustrated by the progression of the different anime (OVA, movie and TV shows) which was made at various points in the manga's history.
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' has a veritable boatload of flanderization in the manga. The [[Anime]] versions of the characters are the end result.
Line 66 ⟶ 68:
** Tsukune himself never [[Took a Level in Badass|becomes a powerful fighter]], transforming only once in each finale—and even those are short—and is considerably less [[First Girl Wins|decisive]].
* Minako from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', in order to distinguish her from Usagi (who was actually an [[Expy]] of Minako in the manga), was made more ditzy and less mature as the anime went on (compare her introduction in the first season to how she's acting by the last), which is actually a reverse from the manga, where she became more mature and intelligent as the series progressed.
* Makoto in ''[[School Days]]'' transforms from a merely sex-curious teenager into an uncaring, womanizing bastard. Furthermore, the two main female love interests get reduced to only being known for their obsession with Makoto. {{spoiler|Though Kotonoha may have been [[:Category:Yandere|emotionally unballanced]] from before,.}}
** Though, it's shown in the second to last episode Makoto actually realizes he became flanderized and tries to fix things. {{spoiler|Only to commit a critical mistake and be brutally murdered.}}
** Not to mention, having the three flanderized ''[[Deconstruction|is the point of the series]]''. We cannot deconstruct [[Unwanted Harem]] without showing how it can bring up the worst out of everyone, huh?
