Lampshade Hanging/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Daughter of Twenty Faces]]'' seems to enjoy hanging lampshades on many of its [[Trope|tropes]], such as [[Big Brother Instinct|the relationship between the heroine and a junior member]] of the [[Gentleman Thief|Gentleman Thief's]] gang, or [[Improbable Age|the fact that the heroine is a bit young]] to be a cat burglar.

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' hangs lampshades in order to help ''subvert'' its [[Trope|tropes]] -- the [[Bishounen|pretty boy]] main character is so pretty that his callsign and half-mocking nickname among his friends is Princess (to his chagrin); when Klein, a [[Human Aliens|Zentraedi]] who [[Sleep Mode Size|has trouble with her "height"]] when human-sized, is teased by an old friend about it, the old friend jokes that if they ever got romantically involved the friend would probably get arrested for pedophilia.

* In ''[[Onegai Twins]]'', Mizuho Kazami, homeroom teacher, fills in for the gym teacher during a swimming class. Miina Miyafuji and Karen Onodera note that there only seem to be two teachers who work at the school.

* ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]''. Of course, that is bound to happen when you have normal, [[Genre Savvy]] people in a crazy world. Haruhi herself, admits to recruiting people to her club because they fit stereotypes; a moe girl and mysterious transfer student are the basis for any adventure!
