| I've watched tons of Shonen and it's common to see the naive brute-strength main character who likes to eat (ALOT). Would you lile the delinquent archetype to return or other archetypez such as the stoic badass hero etc? |

Would you lile the delinquent archetype to return or other archetypez such as the stoic badass hero etc? Stoic Badass hero is still being done, but the delinquent is dying out. I think it's because anime and manga are considered really impressionable and shounen jump doesn't look fondly at those types of characters anymore. It's sad, because Yusuke Urameshi is one of my favorite anime characters. I will admit that passionate loudmouth characters are the goto personality types for shounen nowadays though. |
| If you mean characters like Yuusuke Urameshi, yes, I'd welcome that type back with open arms. ^_^ |
  |
| Wouldn't mind some more delinquents. Haven't seen any great ones lately :( |
 |
| God yes No more badly written self insert beta males or overpowered Kirito clones please |

| I would love more characters like Mitsuhashi from Kyou kara Ore Wa. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| i like anti-delinquents like Sakamoto [desu ga] :D |

Psajdak said: How about they just remake GTO and adapt the whole thing this time around without filler episodes? I would buy 3 copies of all volumes. 1 to give to the unenlightened, 1 to watch, and 1 to keep in the plastic wrap.If they are like Eikichi Onizuka, then of course. But please, no Tomoya Okazaki-like guys, he was garbage. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
You are wrong; Tomoya is hot stuff. :V |

I would buy 3 copies of all volumes. 1 to give to the unenlightened, 1 to watch, and 1 to keep in the plastic wrap. Doubt it will ever happen. Although, I must say I liked anime ending of GTO anime, although manga story was better - especially when it comes to Miyabi. |
| I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| it depends on what kind of show you're going for. |
| Yeah, I really miss the Yuusuke-esque characters |
 |
| Such as Yuusuke or Onizuka ? HELL YES |
 |
| Shounen Jump is actually searching for new delinquent type manga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kyHoiAHYGA maybe we will get some new badass idiots, well before it gets cancelled after 20 or so chapters :P and maaan I miss Oga Tatsumi, I wish this fucktard would just come back and wallplant some fodder. |
| Sure, I'm tired of the beta MC who gets all the pussy. I want alpha MC who gets all the pussy, at least that makes sense. |
| Please, bring it back. That would be awesome. |
  |
| Not really. I'm not a fan of mean characters. |
  Rarity is Best Pony! |
| They are way better than the beta males we are getting in new anime so yes |
Yes. Yes. YES. OMG YES. I find them to be more endearing and realistic than the goody-two-shoes, "I fight against evil" type. |
 |
| Question: Does Oga from Beelzebub count? |

InducedPhobia said: Yes. Yes. YES. OMG YES. I find them to be more endearing and realistic than the goody-two-shoes, "I fight against evil" type. You do know that most delinquent's have really strong and positive moral compasses in their shows right. They always turn into goody-two-shows, "I fight against evil" type characters. |

SojiroThunder said: Comic_Sans said: God yes No more badly written self insert beta males or overpowered Kirito clones please I like the way you think.

| Watching jojo bizarre adeventure stardust crusaders. Jojo feel badass, although he not OP all the time, the way he handle certain situation while still maintaining his coolness. Does this count? |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |

There's nothing wrong with a flawed protagonist . But I don't like badly written protagonists A lot of self insert beta males and overpowered Kirito clones happen to be badly written Of course delinquents can be badly written too but personally I feel that badly written delinquents > badly written beta males and Kirito clones |

Yea I miss the badass delinquent characters of the 90's |
| Smoke Weed Everyday |
| I don't think so. We might have a few here and there and I'm not sure if I'm entirely correct but I think adults (parents) are worried about shounen MCs being impressionable. But I'd definitely love to see more of those guys. Oh and BTW isn't she a badass delinquent as well? |
| More people like Joe Yabuki, thats what we need |

| As a person that has been watching anime for a decade I miss all the Beezlebub, Yusuke main characters. I'm tired of these goody-goody two shoes characters. At the end of the day it doesn't matter as I have completely stopped watching anime that has a school setting or teen MC |

| While characters such as Goku, Luffy, & Kirito are great characters, with flaws and characterization to show their humanity. Most MCs these days are cheap clones of these types of characters, they're stupid, they eat a lot, and they have hero complexes and want to save everyone from "evil". Yet, they do not have flaws or personalities that make them human or relatable. Most of them are whiny and unbearable to watch, and the few that are not are too overpowered to face any real difficulties. I have seen some whiny characters written well enough that I enjoyed them, I've even some of the overpowered types that never face any real difficulties that I enjoyed. But they are too common and misused these days and it ruins the type. I would love to see more of the Yuusuke Uremeshi type MCs, or even going back a little further in time- the Amuro Ray or Char Aznable types. But, people see how much characters like the Goku's, Luffy's, and Kirito's are liked and want to copy them. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| yeah, I want them more. The ones that popped up in my mind from 2000's are Harima Kenji (school rumble) and Seiji (midori days), and they're really funny. The most recent one, maybe Oga from Beelzebub. were there a lot of them in 90's? |
The_Bif said: Most MCs these days are cheap clones of these types of characters, they're stupid, they eat a lot, and they have hero complexes and want to save everyone from "evil". I like the short-tempered type who are also SMART. Like Edward Elric. I'd love to see more guys like him. were there a lot of them in 90's? Yup. XD 90s was pretty badass. |
|
| Only if they're well-written. I wouldn't mind if more "Kid that wants to help everyone" characters show up as long as I like them such as Ushio from Ushio to Tora, but most dying character archetypes are more entertaining then the ones now. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Josuke will soon make everything greato. |
 |
| Fuck GTO remake, fuck everything. What we need is a Crows + Worst anime adaption. The epitome of delinquent manga. |

That's not all that Joe is. He has more too him, that's why he's so great. |

ReaperCreeper said: Josuke will soon make everything greato. Josuke is awesome. I like how he has some of his father's traits because Joesph is one of the few Shonen protagonist who is s skilled tactician rather than a full-power brute |

A good example of that type of character is Izuku from My Hero Academia |

Does this count? Jotaro has some shades of Kenshiro so he's a stoic badass. Jojo part 4 has Josuke who has that delinquent feel same goes for Gio. |
| I'd prefer less archetypes overall, regardless of their era. |
