Who Is This Guy Again?: Difference between revisions

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' is a major offender in this regard. For example, there are three [[Bridge Bunnies]]. Megumi is part of the [[Love Dodecahedron]], so her name comes up a lot. Ruri is quite distinctive. But name the third. {{spoiler|Minato}}. While you're at it, name the guy with the bowl cut who joins the crew along with Akatsuki and Erina. {{spoiler|Admiral Munetake}}. Or the head chef {{spoiler|Ms. Howmei}}. The characters in the [[Show Within a Show]], ''Gekiganger 3'', are easier to identify by name than the cast of this show.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is rather stingy when it comes to even often-seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20090612071244/http://gurennlagann.wikia.com/wiki/Minor_Characters_of_Team_Dai-Gurren members of the Team Dai-Gurren]. Name four of them, not counting Kamina, Simon, Yoko, Nia, Leeron, Rossiu, Kittan and his sisters, {{spoiler|Viral, or Lord Genome}}. Hard, isn't it? Of all of the other characters, five are namedropped exactly twice in the first two ''arcs'', one takes fifteen episodes to get a name, and the rest have their names mentioned once and then left unsaid

** How bad is it for these characters, you ask? The page linked to above has been ''[[Unperson|deleted]]'' from Wikia.

* The Mechanic Couple in ''[[Godannar]]'', while being the cutest couple in the show, if they ''did'' get names, they're used once.

* In ''[[Saint Luminous Mission High School]]'', most of the characters aren't addressed by name until the episode focusing on them.

* Canada in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. In fact, he's the ''definition'' of this trope.
