Line 6:
This tends to take one of two main forms:
* One step up from [[Stick Figure Comic|stick figures]], where the torso has some thickness and heads and extremities have more realistic detail, but the arms and legs are essentially lines. This seems to be rather popular in gothic and emo art, and may apply to all the characters, or just one or two. Example: Jack Skellington from ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''.
* A style based on fashion illustration, where the characters are impossibly slender and long-limbed, but otherwise have more-or-less normal anatomy and musculature. Especially common in [[Josei]] manga. More likely to apply to the entire cast (or at least the attractive characters). Often overlaps with [[Bishounen]] and/or [[Bishoujo]]. Example: Doumeki and Watanuki from ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]''.
 
Has nothing to do with [[Noodle Incident|incidents]] or [[Noodle Implements|implements.]] Contrast with [[Puni Plush]].
Line 15:
* ''[[Naruto]]'' uses this trope on occasion, whenever something rather jarring (usually [[Played for Laughs]]) is revealed. Is coupled with [[Blank White Eyes]], [[Quivering Eyes]], and [[Face Fault]].
* Basso/ Natsume Ono [http://vitaepropositum.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/d44.gif seems] [http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/natsume-ono?before=1313937779 to] [http://www.punkednoodle.com/champloo/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Ono-003.jpg be] [http://shinkeikaku.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/nigeruotoko.jpg quite] [http://precur.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/kumonointeri.jpg fond] [http://www.punkednoodle.com/champloo/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Ono-001.jpg of] [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3JOk5nB7axs/S7QEMDrwkMI/AAAAAAAAAnM/_cOYd1oFyOI/s1600/house-wallpaper1024x768%5B1%5D.jpg this].{{broken link}}
* This style is most noticeable in [[CLAMP]] works ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' and ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]''. Though not a style used in their earlier works, the stereotype has already set in, with these two being their most popular recent works. To a lesser extent, it's still there in their older stuff (e.g. ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]''), which has occasionally been toned down due to the [[Art Shift|difficulty of animating]]. It's just closer to being in line with the rest of anime's skinny, skinny waifs. It also turns up in ''[[Code Geass]]'', which is not terribly surprising, considering its characters were designed by CLAMP.
* The series that Sunrise did immediately after ''[[Code Geass]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', also has a decidedly noodly cast, this time designed by Yun Kouga (of ''[[Loveless]]'' fame).
* ''[[One Piece]]'', though mostly just with women.
