| you know, something like the surface didn't same than what is inside. like an idol who secretly otaku/pervert or cheerful people who actually deep down depressied/evil or something like that. things like this is really often found in anime... it can be on romance (like sharing secret), even action thriller (like good guy actually a secret enemy), or even hillarity comedy ensue... so, whats your opinion on something like this? of course it's bow down on excecution, but how is your opinion on trope it self since it was soo often in anime? |

| I like it when they do that because I can relate to some of the characters. I am also one of those people who has a secret side or has secret hobbies and such. So I'm okay with it. |

| It works so well in anime. At morning, you're a japanese student. But you're also secretely It makes you feel like you can break out of monotony by watching your favorite character lead a cool fictional life. |

| Yes, I like it that anime characters have something human to them too. |

Well, one of many reasons. |

| Yeah it all depends on the execution. Take the most well known example, Himouto! Umaru-chan. At first I didn't like Umaru cause I found her incredibly annoying, but after a while I eventually got used to her alter personality and saw her as a loving little sister instead of a nuisance. It all just depends on how the show portrays this new character personality to us |

| I usually like characters with a hidden depth to them. Not gonna lie, I thought this thread was going to be about thigh gaps. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I normally like characters like that because I feel like it makes them more relatable and it usually makes them more interesting. |

I would say I like my characters to be human as possible while retaining the fact of fiction. Like lets say for example the duality of this character here. Her left half is a timid girl who would jump at their own shadow, a plethora of phobia's and years of childhood trauma. On the right is a psychopath that kills cute boys, straight forward, and highly energetic. Now as you can see from the picture, they look exactly the same. That is because they are. See she suffers from a multiple personality disorder, when one looses consciousness or sneezes they essentially switch consciousnesses. They only share common knowledge and feelings. They don't remember anything their counterpart experienced. Her left side personality is a girl who has gone through many horrible experiences which conditioned her to be scared of everything. Her imagination is her greatest asset because she has direct control. Constant use of her vivid imagination developed her knack for story telling and became a writer. Expressing all of those bottled emotions and which created a very lucrative career for her. She hides in her house all day and writes and lives off the book royalties. What spawned her alternate personality was the fact she kept repressing all of her negative emotions until at some point she snapped. Which created the killer side personality. There is a trope that was spawned from several real life examples of past killers. Where killers would keep some kind of trophy or keep sake. Her trophy was carving a tally mark into her thigh keeping track of how many people she killed.  So in summary. This is what I would consider making a character feel and sound real and retain the fiction aspect. Writing a human being that has some horrible backstory and developed a lot of flaws because of her history. That can switch to a character that basically resembles a batman villain. |

Yeah I noticed that as well in the anime, would be interesting to see where it goes in the second season |
