Only Sane Man/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* Integra ''[[Hellsing]]'' comes to mind. Despite a relatively [[Dark and Troubled Past]] involving her [[Evil Uncle]], she's the ''only'' character in the series who's not a [[Heroic Sociopath]], [[Blood Knight]], or [[Ax Crazy]]. She also appears to be the most balanced and stable out of all the characters, which is probably why she's so good at dealing with [[Dracula|A]][[Heroic Sociopath|l]][[Blood Knight|u]][[Ax Crazy|c]][[Villain Protagonist|a]][[Complete Monster|r]][[Interplay of Sex and Violence|d]][[Belligerent Sexual Tension|.]]

** Some would say that Seras Victoria is one of these as well.

* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': Professor Yumi, Shiro and sometimes Boss alternated in filling the role. The first one was the director of a research lab where [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]] (the funny version) and [[Hot-Blooded]], hardheaded teenagers ran around. The second one was [[Hot-Blooded|Kouji]] [[Idiot Hero|Kabuto]] little brother, and often showed more brains than his rash, loudmouthed, tactless older brother. And Boss... well, even though he was [[Comic Relief]], often he was the one had to talk Kouji or Sayaka into reason.

** A serious example happened in episode 7: while Sayaka was going through a [[Heroic BSOD]] and losing her will to fight, and Kouji was playing [[Achilles in His Tent]], Boss was trying to remember them over and again there WAS one Mechanical Beast coming, and all of them would die if they didn't fight back! Later Kouji and Sayaka were apologizing at each other and Shiro noted boss was the only was right in that situation.
