dynamicSome of the central structural elements in anime are Plot Continuity, Stereotype Characters and Plot Twists.

· castno description set

· · male protagonistThis anime has a male protagonist. weightless

· · strong male leadThe lead male protagonist in this anime shows backbone, is competent, and does not shy away from seemingly insurmountable objectives. weightless

· long time spanThe anime spans a much longer than usual (for that genre) period of time, typically several years (possibly decades or even centuries). Example: In a school setting this could mean the character development is followed from school through college right into working life and the founding of a family with children. weightless

· plot continuityConsistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the viewer. A single linear focused plot is highly continuous. A truly random plot is highly discontinuous. **

· time skipThe plot features at least one skip or jump in time. Example: A skip from the present into the past, or time skips in increments, e.g. every hour there is a time skip by a day. weightless

elementsNext to Themes setting the backdrop for the protagonists in anime, there are the more detailed plot Elements that centre on character interactions: "What do characters do to each other or what is done to them?". Is it violent Action, an awe-inspiring Adventure in a foreign place, the gripping life of a Detective, a slapstick Comedy, an Ecchi Harem anime, a SciFi epic, or some Fantasy travelling adventure?

· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.

· · zero to heroWith his first appearance, this character is getting his ass kicked by nearly everyone, but as the plot continues, through training (mental or physical) or instant power-up, he changes into a killing/fighting/winning machine. The best example: Makunouchi Ippo from Hajime no Ippo series. weightless

originno description set

· Japanese productionno description set weightless

original workWhat the anime is based on! This is given as the original work credit in the OP. Mostly of academic interest, but a useful bit of info, hinting at the possible depth of story.

· novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. Manga, comics, or visual novels do not fit this description and are not considered novels; including a small number of illustrations, however, is still permissible, which means that light novels are considered novels. weightless

settingThe setting describes in what time and place an anime takes place. To a certain extent it describes what you can expect from the world in the anime.

· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.

· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. **+

· · · AsiaAsia is Earth`s largest and most populous continent. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. **+

· · · · JapanJapan is a sovereign island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest. **+

· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.

· · pastAnime that takes place in the past or clearly seems to take place in the past in case of an alternative universe. This category should almost always go together with one of its sub-categories, because the past can either be a depiction of a historical event(s) or not, in which case it would be alternative past. **

· · · alternative pastAn anime that takes place in an alternative past is an anime that clearly does not belong to the future or the present, and isn`t tied particularly closely to our history, or has ties to our history but only as a premise. +

· · · historicalHistorical anime have clear ties to our history and usually occur in a particular epoch. +

target audienceAnime, like everything else in the modern world, is targeted towards specific audiences, both implicitly by the creators and overtly by the marketing.

· minaIn the context of manga and associated media, the word mina refers to a broad audience, which can be said to be "the entire family", from the grumpy grandpa to the newborn baby. In Japanese, the word means simply "everyone", and has no anime/manga-related connotations at all. weightless

technical aspectsIt may sometimes be useful to know about technical aspects of a show, such as information about its broadcasting or censorship. Such information can be found here.

· real-world locationPlaces seen in the show exist in reality. Note: This could be sometime in the future, though names and certain places will still be recognizable. weightless

· stand-alone movieYou can watch this movie without having to watch something else first. This tag should not used for sequels, side stories, or summary movies, but may be used if the movie is either the first anime in a franchise or a remake. The movie must be feature-length. For shorts, use the `short movie` tag. In general, a "show-in-show" would not qualify as standalone. weightless

themesThemes describe the very central elements important to the anime stories. They set the backdrop against which the protagonists must face their challenges. Be it School Life, present Daily Life, Military action, Cyberpunk, Law and Order detective work, Sports, or the Underworld. These are only but a few of the more typical backgrounds for anime plots. Add to that a Conspiracy setting with a possible tragic outcome, the Themes span most of the imaginable subject matter relevant to anime.

· agricultureAgriculture is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel, medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. weightless

· crimeThe underworld we talk about here is not to be confused with the place where people are believed to go after they die, but the general term for organized crime. It is a shady world, unknown to most people, where illegal things like murder, smuggling, drug dealing and similar are happening daily. Groups known to be acting in this world are for example the mafia or the yakuza. *+

· · kidnappingIn criminal law, kidnapping is the taking away or transportation of a person against that person`s will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute. weightless

· deathDeath is the state of no longer being alive or the process of ceasing to be alive.

· · human sacrificeHuman sacrifice is the act of killing one or more human beings as part of a ritual. Throughout the majority of human history, primitive societies have engaged in human sacrifice, generally as a religious act, such as an offering to please or appease deities, spirits, or the deceased. Other uses that have been seen include magic rituals, usually related to black magic or the summoning of demons. weightless

· disasterA disaster is a large-scale situation that causes great loss of or damage or threat to life, health, property, society, or the environment, irrespective of its source or cause. Disasters have substantial, long-lasting negative repercussions, and great effort must be spent in order to undo or mitigate their effects. ***

· · famineWidespread scarcity of food caused by various factors, including crop failure, population unbalance and/or government policies. ***

· · post-warAn armed conflict has ended not too long ago, devastation of the world or society is still evident. *

· · volcanic eruptionno description set ***

· · warAn armed conflict is the main theme or plays a large role in this anime. +

· · water scarcityWater crisis is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet water needs within a region. weightless

· drastic change of lifeOne or more characters in this series go through an event that makes them change their way of life drastically and permanently. This change might be voluntary, or against the character`s will. Some examples might be an accident, the gaining of superpowers, or simply graduating. weightless

· ecologyNature and ecology are a central theme of this anime. **

· environmentalismEnvironmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the natural environment and humans. Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues. (Source: Wikipedia) weightless

· · global warmingno description set weightless

· · man vs natureno description set weightless

· family lifeno description set

· · dysfunctional familyWhen the nuclear family (Mother, Father and child(ren)) goes boom due to conflicts between family , sometimes resulting in the breakup of the family or even violence. weightless

· · parental abandonmentIn Japan it is a common custom for parents to leave their children alone at home and embark on a lifelong trip around the world once they hit the tender age of 14, sometimes even earlier. *+

· following one`s dreamNo matter what the hardships may be, at least one of the protagonists in this anime is following her/his dream. Examples: To become a professional athlete, a musician, a painter or the ruler of this world! weightless

· · aim for the topThis can be a positive or negative plot device. A character may strive to become the best in an altruistic way (e.g. best healer, most widely learned master), or it can be quite banal and primitive (e.g. challenged delinquents wanting to be the strongest fighters). Alas in fighting anime the latter usually prevails. weightless

· geologyGeology is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also include the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite such as Mars or the Moon. Modern geology significantly overlaps all other earth sciences, including hydrology and the atmospheric sciences, and so is treated as one major aspect of integrated earth system science and planetary science. +

· saving the worldWhile villains love to take over the world or cause the end of the world as we know it, the heroes are most likely motivated by the polar opposite, saving the world. A fairly simple plot/motivation related to for great justice and what not, this trope is pretty broad and very common for many stories not focused on character interaction only. weightless

· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. *+

· · universitySince college/university students are typically at least eighteen years old, with stories covering mature everyday life topics, you will find the college setting quite often in seinen and josei anime. *+

· the effects of time and distance on human relationshipsno description set weightless
