'''My Life Me''' is a Canadian animated series that follows the [[SliceOfLife exploits]] of junior high students Birch Small, her cousin Liam Coll, Sandra Le Blanc, and Raffi Rodriguez. It employs many JapaneseVisualArtsTropes, and the main character Birch is an aspiring manga artist. The series has attracted a lot of attention from 4chan's /co/ (not much of it positive), due to its {{animesque}} design and tropes, and its [[http://www.mylifeme.com/#manga online "manga" maker]], which is ''extremely'' easy to exploit.

----
!!This series provides examples of:
* AdobeFlash: Animated via it, and it's very noticable.
* AdultChild: Mr. Towes slips into this a few times. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny And it is glorious.]]
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Birch for Raffi, and, seemingly, Liam for Sandra.
* {{Ambiguously Gay}}: Raffi.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Raffi again, though he has a Hispanic surname.
** Mr. Towes, though he might be black.
* {{Animesque}}: In FlashAnimation.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Birch's manga idol, Miyazaki Lee. That's ''two'' surnames in ''[[AllAsiansAreAlike different languages]]''.
* AuthorAvatar: Birch
* BlondesAreEvil: Amelia, the resident AlphaBitch.
* BlushSticker: Everyone in this series is blushing all the time. ''All the time''.
* CanisLatinicus: 'Agnosco' is Latin for 'I understand', not 'Do you unterstand?'.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Birch's color palette is mostly violet; Liam's is green; Sandra's, orange; Raffi's, blue.
* CreatorCameo: The three fangirls who are following Raffi all the time? They are apparently modeled after the creators of the show.
* CrossPoppingVeins: Used just about every time anyone gets angry.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: If someone from the main cast has a love interest outside of their group, that person usually is mentioned only in that one episode, and then never again. Where do they all go?
** Made odder by both that they usually GET the love interest and that the interest remains an extra (and so will share any general dislike of the main character that occurs).
* DeanBitterman: Principal Lemon.
* ADogNamedDog: Neko the cat.
* FieryRedhead: Sandra le Blanc fits this trope well.
* GameShowAppearance: In episode 1, the main characters participate in a fictitious game show.
* GratuitousJapanese: For some reason, Birch's necklace has the watashi kanji on it.
** She also has a [[ADogNamedDog cat named Neko]].
*** Also, Sandra has a stuffed rabbit named "Kimiko".
** And they keep using manga as a [[YouKeepUsingThatWord catch-all term]] for... anything Birch and Liam are into. At one point, a Manga Poetry Slam happens, which can be summed up as just the characters saying "Manga" a lot.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Birch has a pair arguing over whether she should cheat on Liam's test.
* IncestSubtext: Some between Liam and Birch, though it's hopefully unintentional.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Birch certainly seems to think that everything is about her. Even when some of the episodes focus on the other people in the pod, either Birch gets heavily involved with the episode or a Birch-centric subplot is squeezed in.
* LargeHam: It's very obvious that Mr. Towes' voice actor is just having oodles of fun. [[EnsembleDarkhorse And the viewers ADORE him for it.]]
* LimitedWardrobe: Nobody changes their clothes in this school, for some reason.
* OccidentalOtaku: Birch Small especially. The rest of the cast, to a slightly lesser extent.
* OcularGushers
* OnlySixFaces: All characters' faces are based on the same design template.
* RemixComic: Incredibly simple and diabolically fun, thanks to the manga maker.
* SadistTeacher: Mr. Towes slips into this briefly when he suspects Birch's pod cheated on a test. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome It's probably the best episode ever.]]
* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: This show has one of these.
* SliceOfLife
* SmallNameBigEgo: Birch, oh so very much. When she shows off her own "manga art" to her manga idol Miyazaki [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Lee]], he says it's good and that she has potential, but then insults a different 'local' comic that he had seen, not knowing that Birch had drawn it. This prompts her to overreact and yell at him, insulting some of the very work of his she was praising earlier.
* SuperDeformed: Used liberally, along with SweatDrop.
* ThickLineAnimation
* TheCheerleader: Amelia is one of these.
* {{Tsundere}}: Well, no slice-of-life anime-inspired show would be complete without one, so we have Sandra filling the spot.
* TsurimeEyes: Birch
* UnusualEars: Birch would grow fox ears and a tail whenever they need to show that she was being [[IncrediblyLamePun sly like a fox]].
* UrbanLegends: Liam told one about a janitor that went crazy from having to clean a whole cafeteria covered in barf.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Birch
* WordSaladTitle: Evidently a ShoutOut to other anime series which do the same. We assume.
