Line 17:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Not a main character, but Kimblee in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' (manga only characterization) wears a white suit all the time, and gets upset with a soldier for being blown up while talking to him, not to mention the small amount of blood spatter that ends up on his pristine suit. Kimblee's barking mad.
** He says that it is expensive at one point in ''Brotherhood''.
Line 27:
** According to Gevanni's observations, Teru Mikami is also this (which fits his overall personality pretty well).
* Chiri from ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' has this as her gimmick. And she's been slowly [[Flanderized]] from a simple Neat Freak to a near [[Ax Crazy|psychopathic]] [[Control Freak]] who'll be perfectly willing to slaughter the cast in order to maintain order. Any scene featuring her as centerfold for the scene will inevitably result in comedy and [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** In one of the [[OVA]]s we're introduced to her older sister, Kitsu Tane, who is her complete opposite and great character foil. We have it explained that in their childhood, Tane chose to become [[The Pig Pen]] and personification of the [[Trash of the Titans]] trope in order to save the life of their gold fish, which Chiri had decided to clean... With shampoo...
* Hazuki Oikawa from ''[[Moyashimon]]''. What a disinfectant-happy girl like her is doing at an agricultural college (''and'' hanging out with people who study microorganisms for a living, at that), we're not sure.
* As an extension of his [[Super OCD]], [[Soul Eater|Death the Kid]] always makes sure everything is neat, tidy and, most importantly, symmetrical.
* In the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Plus manga, Blue Link is revealed to be one of these in an omake. It's impossible for him to sleep at night unless his clothes are neatly folded and in a nice neat stack near where he's sleeping.
* Ranma Saotome of ''[[Ranma ½
* Eiichirou from ''[[Baby Steps]]'' eats from both sides of his lunch box to keep the sides even, freaks out over the possibility of his food touching, and takes ''two'' sets of notes in class: a pristine "master" copy, and a second that he doesn't mind lending out to his less tidy classmates.
* One chapter of ''[[Franken Fran]]'' has a woman, raised in extremely sterile circumstances, recruit Fran in an attempt to wipe out cockroaches. She freaks out at the merest hint of contamination. The experiment does not go as planned...
* In ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', Ash and Co. run into a Minccino who is obsessed with cleaning dirty things. It steals Ash's badge case to clean it and most of the episode is revolved around trying to get it back. This proves difficult due to Minccino's elusiveness and speed. Just when it's about to runoff, Bianca, Professor Juniper's lab assistant, pulls out a dirty Pokeball to catch it. Knowing couldn't pass up the opportunity, [[Hoist by His Own Petard|it decides to clean her Pokeball and ends up getting itself caught]].
* In the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' manga Sailor Jupiter is shown to be this, at one point spending ''two days'' cleaning her apartment.
* As is obvious once you get a glimpse of his meticulously clean, almost-empty apartment, Barnaby from ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' does not appreciate clutter. He keeps only the bare minimum furniture; one chair, one small table, one bed etc., and the only "unessential" objects in the living room (the one room we see properly) are a laptop, a television (both of which he uses to research his parents' murder), a family photo and a toy robot (a birthday present from his parents). He also dislikes the thought of anyone visiting his place, worrying that they'll make a mess.
* Nami Yamigumo of ''[[Silent Möbius]]'' is the AMP's resident neat freak. Unfortunately for her, most of her teammates are the exact opposite. This is played up in comic [[Omake]] strips.
Line 79:
* On ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', one of Phil Hartman's reoccurring characters was the cooking-show host "The Anal-Retentive Chef", who painstakingly cleaned up every last scrap following each step in the recipe of the day.
* Cat in ''[[Lip Service]]'' to the point where she is considered autistic.
* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' [[Big Bad|The Mayor]] often delivers little speeches on the importance of cleanliness (including clean fingernails), keeps thing neatly aligned on his desk, and abhors germs. Ironically, as Angel points out, the [[Deal with the Devil]] he has made has made him immortal - he certainly cannot die from disease.
* Jerry on ''[[Seinfeld]]''. Whenever it comes up, the other characters make fun of him for it - after all, [[Men Can't Keep House]].
* Jamie on ''[[MythBusters]]'' shades into this at times. One of his trademarks is his always-spotless white shirt.
Line 91:
* In ''[[The Sims]] 2'', Sims with a high Neatness score will be bugged by messes more than other Sims. The same goes for Sims with the Neat trait in ''[[The Sims]] 3''.
* [[Cute Monster Girl|UB-02: Beauty AKA Pheromosa]], from ''[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]''. Despite, ironically, being a super-evolved cockroach-Pokémon, it doesn't like touching anything when encountered on Unova, seemingly thinking everything on this world is unclean.
* Daniella from ''[[Haunting Ground]]''. While [[Axe Crazy]] obsessed with catching and killing Fiona, she is also very obsessed with her position as the castle's maid, and will often stop pursuit to clean up a mess she comes across. It's possible for Fiona to speak to her and get a lucid response during these times, and in one case, Daniella will even give her something useful.
== Visual Novel ==
Line 127 ⟶ 128:
* Rocko from ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' is a subversion in that while he does like his house clean, he often does let cleaning fall by the wayside. While he ''does'' produce [[Trash of the Titans]], he always cleans it up...with hilarious results.
* The protagonist of ''[[Archer]]''. He always complains when someone leaves food lying around, [[Running Gag|saying it will attract ants.]]
** After this joke is used many times by Archer, [[Got Me Doing It|the rest of the cast starts doing it too]].
