Line 9:
* Hinoka from ''[[Ame-iro Kouchakan Kandan]]'' is a highschool student who is fairly good at construction, as we see with her renovation of the Amber Tea House, but her methods are rather unorthodox. And by unorthodox, I mean [[Chainsaw Good]].
* [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Ancient]] [[Boisterous Bruiser|Rome]], and how! He is said to have conquered most of Europe, but is shown being almost more spacey than his own grandson, [[The Ditz|North Italy]]. He even spaces out when giving Germany a lecture on his own history.
* You know how we said they're never [[Ax Crazy]]? We lied. Meet ''[[Baccano]]!'''s Claire Stanfield, an [[Professional Killer|assassin]] that is ''very'' good at tracking people down, [[Torture Technician|extracting information]], and killing things. The catch is that he has a huge list of quirks (constant [[I Have Many Names|name-changing]], a tendency to [[The Dulcinea Effect|attach himself to]] [[Handsome Lech|anything in a skirt]], a habit of going ''way'' [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|overboard]], a complete disregard for contract confidentiality, a firmly sustained belief that [[A God Am I|he is God]] -- the list goes on) that can make him more than a little annoying for his employers to deal with. Still, he is really, ''really'' good at what he does.
Line 33:
* ''[[Captain Harlock]]'' has the Arcadia's entire ''crew'' like this. Oddly, Captain Harlock and Kei Yuki are the only ones who remotely seem to be serious about the whole pirating thing.
* In the manga ''Category Freaks'' you have a group of paranormal investigators who are the absolute best at what they do but... er... aren't exactly normal. You have *ahem* a [[Brilliant but Lazy]] stand (practically a demi-god), a [[Camp]] computer geek, a little girl with bunny ears who eats monsters, a woman whose split personality could kick your ass halfway across the room, and a very polite young man who just happens to spend most of his time as an eye. If you're looking for your sanity you might want to check somewhere three feet north of your brain.
* Lloyd Asplund of ''[[Code Geass]]'' is a goofy, graceless social misfit who is bluntly honest and speaks of everyone (even the Emperor) in an almost mocking tone. He's also one of the most brilliant engineers in the world, being the creator of the [[Super Prototype]] Lancelot. He's also one of the few Britannians to not be racist. Rakshata Chawla, a former classmate of Lloyd's who works for [[La Résistance]], is equally brilliant and can usually be found lounging on a sofa (even on the bridge of their battleship!) with a pipe in her mouth and a teasing remark on her lips.
** Then there's Gino Weinberg who's a cheerful [[Upper Class Twit]] with [[No Sense of Personal Space]] that is fascinated by "commoner" life. Despite this, nobody second guesses as to why he's the [[Ace Pilot|Knight Of Three]].
*** However, Gino's behavior doesn't sound like a problem when you know Knight of the Round include an [[Emotionless Girl]] frequently mind-raped, a [[Complete Monster]] who fight for the pleasure of killing, and a [[The Quisling|Quisling]] {{spoiler|with a [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]}}.
* In ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' we have a whole host of really ''really'' disturbing [[Ax Crazy]] [[Blood Knight|Blood Knights]] who are absolutely brilliant at killing people, but who have a ''lot'' of really odd... let's just say 'quirks'.
* ''[[Death Note]]''
** L, the most brilliant detective in the world, is a reclusive and eccentric young man who locks himself away in an appartment and solves cases from around the world. He has awkward mannerisms and almost no social skills. He's always crouching in his chair and staring fixedly at something. He grips everything from the top with two fingers, like you might hold up a salamander or wet noodle. Because he burns so many calories by simply ''thinking'', he's a [[Big Eater]] with an incredible sweet-tooth. He's almost always toying with or devouring a mountain of candy or pastries.
** Mello and Near come from the same school for giften children as L and are basically proto-Ls. Like L, they also have their eccentricites. With their powers combined, they are as good or better than L, and appropriarely they split his habits: Near is always toying with things, in this case actual children's toys. Mello is always eating candy, in this case chocolate.
Line 86:
* Let me ask you a question. Would you trust the former most notorious gang leader of your country, who just happens to be a pervert, a [[Man Child]] who is also [[One of the Kids]], a slacker, and a klutz whose M.O. is destruction everywhere? That's exactly what Holy Forest Academy did when they hired Eikichi Onizuka to be a ''high school teacher'' in [[Great Teacher Onizuka]]. It turns out his unorthodox method of teaching is quite possibly the greatest thing to happen to the school.
* Sumeragi Lee Noriega from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]'' is essentially a slightly better-adjusted version of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Misato]] from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.
** Graham Aker is pretty much what happens when an [[Otaku]] gets into military... except this Otaku is just about as [[Badass]] as he can get, to the point that he gets special permission to act as he wants, because his superiors figured out bad things tend to happen to their enemies when Graham gets to do things his way.
** Andrew Waltfeld, the Desert Tiger, in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]]''. He takes his coffee making very, ''very'' seriously, to the point of boiling it in an elaborate chemistry-set-looking contraption, talking about percentages of ingredients he's changed, and randomly mentioning it before or during serious combat situations. However, he's also a brilliant and decorated military commander and an ace mobile suit pilot, so his soldiers don't seem to do more than just blink in temporary confusion when he offers them the chance to try his latest brew.
Line 141:
* Yomiko Readman (and indeed, almost all Paper Masters) from the ''[[Read or Die]]'' universe. Deadly with their weapon of choice, and bibliophiles to the ''extreme''. The mangas take this to their logical conclusion, as Yomiko and Michelle sometimes get totally physically immersed in their work, allowing the paper from their books to contact their skin...with [[Fan Service|sexy results]].
* From ''[[Rosario
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'': Minako Aino, a.k.a. Sailor Venus, is the most battle experienced member of the Sailor Team. Which is hard to notice amidst all the ditzy moonstruck behavior she constantly exhibits as well as how she cheerfully [[Malaproper|murders all kinds of axioms, verbs and phrases]]. This is downplayed in the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live action version]], where she is more of an [[Ill Girl]] [[Broken Bird]].
